I'm almost ready for the swap....

When my scholarship money comes in (my dad is giving the excess money back... lol) well i'm thinking i'm either going to go with a swap or save up for the 2.0l spectra.

I'm thinking of converting my 1.6l dohc lanos HB (AUTO) into a 2.0l (Nubira) dohc lanos hb... with the D20 tranny and i'm guessing i'll need the parts for the swap

Engine, Tranny, ecu, clutch, clutch pedal. Anything else?

and how much am i looking at?

why swap the tranny? the F16 mounts up to the 2.0 engine as far as i know.... same goes for the clutch

So as far as i know you only need the engine and the ECU+wiring

Nearly the same power to weight ratio with the Spectra as a 2500Lb Lanos with a 130HP 2.0, the 2.0 also weighs more than the 1.6 so curb weight goes up even more.

I thought about doing this myself (but keeping the ATX) but, after you look at the end result, a Nibura wouldn't be much slower than a Lanos with a 2.0 engine.

yes i'd be converting the auto to a manual. In which i know the D20 can handle more torque than the F16 so therefore, i want to grab the D20 because i plan on adding some horsepower. Turbo, CAI, Evofusion Full Exhaust... Just for starters.

hehe ... Don't forget to add the Turbonator air intake spinner thing and the fuel line magnets! LOL

:P

Cold Air Intake and a Turbo... that's an interesting set up.

A turbo'd Lanos sounds more interesting than a Tibby, even if it is 10x the work doing all you said you want to do to it.

I have to say I do like Tiburon's. Have you driven one?

If you buy one make sure to stuff a twisted up tin can in the intake tube, or better yet take an electric motor from a leafblower and stick it up in the intake so you can have a "real" electric supercharger with 2psi of boost. Make sure to get a boost guage too. :P

I used to have a cat named Tibby. Her sister from the same litter was Tabby! LOL

Mike - LOL @ the tin can & the leaf blower! heh

I have driven an '03 V6 6speed Tiburon and it was pretty nice, other than to me it felt the winodws were so narrow I didn't feel like I could see very well out of it; kinda made me feel clostrophobic.

On the test drive, I had it up to 130mph in 5th gear. I never took it to 6th because the exit to get off came up fast and I needed to take it back to the dealer. LOL

Yes a Tiburon, i like the style and powerplant of them. However that doesn't mean the end of project 2.0l lanos. Just on the side for now.
