Gas Milage

I'm getting about 25-30 on my automatic lanos but I'm driving with A/C most of the time during the summer months. I also installed a better air intake filter which improved. Is there anyway to improve even more?

Spark Plug Replacement

I recently went to a website looked up Lanos 1.6 Bosch Platinum+4 Spark Plugs (part#4418). Now, how do I take out the spark plugs and install the new ones. I went to an auto store and they were going to charge me $100.00+ for a tune-up. I was going to use my spark plug socket but the diameter wouldn...

Gas Milage is there a better way?

Why does the Aveo (Suzuki Sprint, Pontiac Wave, Daewoo Kalos) get better Gas Milage than the Lanos 1.6, same engine but is the E-Tech 2 what makes the difference and what is it that is difference? Is it the weight? Does my Lanos need a diet? :?

Question?

If I get the chip upgrade what is the diffrence in performance when I press the button on the automatic shifter (overdrive) when the POWER light comes on. Should I keep overdrive on or off when I install the chip?

ECU I Don't Think so

All this thing is, is a battery back up with a nice blue light. If your the type who wants endless amounts of modifications so your engine looks like it has every posssible part and upgrade even though it serves no purpose. I would just change the spark plugs if you have starting problems. This unit...

The more air the better!

The more air the better. I just changed my regular air filter to a high flow K & N filter off JC Whitney at a resonible price. Although I didn't modify anything I could tell a diffrence right away better gas milage and performance (more HP). The engine also seems to breathe easier. It's a must! :)

8) Thanks for the info! I still don't know if the Turbo on the Isuzu would work on the Lanos though. Anyway I am thinking I'll just wait until Aveo or the Cobalt comes out with an SS version and see if I could use the supercharger on the Daewoo. I think i'm leaning towards superchargers especially t...

Turbo Upgrade

Ok I know the Chevy Aveo Xtreme is a concept with a supercharger. Now is a superchrger and a turbo the same thing?

Also I was looking at the 1992 Isuzu Impulse 1.6L Turbo, would this turbo assembly fit on a Lanos? Is there an easy way? What would work?

I love turbos!!! :roll:
