So yesterday me and MMamdouh went to the mechanic who did the 2.0 nubira swap and we sat down and discussed everything, we then went to a guy near by which has all sorts of stuff for daewoos starting from headlights and tail lights to engines and half cuts, so we picked a 1.6 we liked and we inspected it and took out the transmission to check the clutch disk and flywheel and everything was great so we bought the engine and went back to the shop, we started to take the old engine out and disconnected everything and dropped it from under the car and here is how the car looks without an engine
After taking the 1.3 out it was getting late so we called it a day and went all home.
The next day came and i had lunch and went straight to the shop, i found that the mechanic went and got the 1.6 engine to the shop and had it just beside the car with the plastic cover off and the valve cover was changed since it had a dent in it.
we started to prepare the engine for going in the car so we changed the spark plugs, spark plug wires, belts, and got new engine mounts and clutch master cylinder. There is of course this engine mount that sticks out of the side so it was relocated and in its place came one of the belt driven pulleys and everything aligned great. There were a couple of things though, the o2 sensor plug wires were a bit short so we elongated them, and then was the fan thermostat switch which was also short since its in the right side in the 1.6 and on the left side in the 1.3 so we elongated that too.
As for the main wiring loom, we were going to use the 1.6 one but we found out that they are identical except for the VGIS of course which is easy to add so we decided to stick with the 1.3 wiring so we won't have to change the fuse box and all this stuff. We added this part i don't know its name in english
but its responsible for opening the solenoid of the VGIS when it gets its signal from the ECU, you can see it in the first picture, its the black cylinder shaped thing to the left of the fuel filter. Now that the engine is ready, we tied it and raised the car so that we can raise the engine from under the car and into its new home.
We got the engine in its place, and tied all the engine mounts and made sure everything was fit perfectly, we found out that the throttle cable was too short, so we will probably get a longer one or modify its little bracket, but that's for tomorrow. We will start connecting everything and hopefully no check engine light or any problems will rise and we fire it up and it pulls good, i just can't wait to drive it
it should pull good since the car is really light, i think about 1 ton, well we will see about that tomorrow
