      Instead.

      Instead of doing an egine swap i got a 1.6 block and bought pistons and a crank for the aveo and then connecting rods for a 1.6 Nissan motor along with cams and lifters and the picked up a head for an aveo at Autozone and built the motor with a few other essentials from Nissan and Chevy and the motor makes 115HP and 108ft. lBs of torgue. havent put it in the car yet but dynoed it on a engine dyno and it does idle a litlle high at 1500 but that is acceptable but i would put out more power if it had better injectors instead of the stockers.

      explain in better details what you did.

      What pistons, cams connecting rods, etc did you get?

      do you have pictures?

      Did you get it tuned?

      and how do you know you make 115hp, and 108 ft lb of torque if you didnt dyno it?

      Is someone telling the truth?

      He said he engine-dynoed it.
      That's probably bhp, so if you convert to SAE-certified hp, you're probably not making anything more than stock if you're lucky, for all the crap you had to put in to building it up.
      if this isn't some sort of attention-getting bs post.

      So is it higherr orr lower compression?

      I assume higher since your setting it up for a turbo. If thats the case I'm supposed to lose up to 15% of my whp with my lower compression pistons, but they'll allow me to boost twice as much on the ssame octane gas.
