Engine Blown (THE NIGHTMARE!)

[woo]

well i have a 3.5 L Quad Cam Van that uses unleaded IT BARELY LEAVES THE GARAGE :P

Im guessing that petrol is expensive where you live. I have a 2L daewoo and a commodore with a hot 5L in it. My brother has a 5L ute too and they arent too bad on fuel, but i guess its all up to how much petrol is

[python235]

gas aint expensive if compared to other countries
BUT LIFE IS EXPENSIVE!
so u cant ust aford lots of fuel

[woo]

up untill yesterday i had a cushy, well paying job so petrol was the least of my worries. Now all i need is another job......

[python235]

what themechanic wants is to drop the WHOLE SYSTEM
everything except the winsheild pump :P
so its gonna be LOTS OF WORK!

[python235]

i need advise here
my mechanic wants to drop down the whole car, the engine the radiator the gearbox the suspension completly and every single thing u can think of,
He wants 1700 US$ for the whole job, engine is a C20LET Turbo or a 1.8T
IS THE PRICE OK?!

[MMamdouh]

don't know about the price (if engine and turboing is included) but why does he want to mess with the suspension and tranny?? if you are getting a 1.8 then the only thing you want out is your blown engine.

man u cant just put a 1.8 turbo inwith out changing the gear box and plus i have a hydraulic clutch that needs work, and need to work on most suspension cause of the engine weight change
but the price is a bit too high right ?!

[lanos2001]

for all that work it actually sounds decent if not a good deal. i know jason off of .net did the 2.0l swap for like $1500 so if your getting everything redone with a turboed engine and everything else thats a damn good price after i think about it

[norman]

moin,

why it is so important to know, how big the fueltank is?

1700$ is a gooooood price for the job. in germany you have to pay 1700$ to get only a c20let.
don?t forget to use bigger brakes and the fuel pump from the let...

tschau norman

Fuel economy? I have had the pleasure (!) of owning a 1.6 Nubira and now a 2.0 nubira. Believe me the 2.0 is much more fun to drive and I actually get mores miles to the gallon than I did with the 1.6 - it is so much more powerful in the low engine revs.

[python235]

Finally i picked the engine i want! its a C20 Somthing :P
its a hot engine that is equal to the c20xe but the new type
cant remmber the end though ,
its a non turbo high compresion with SFI and a moded ECU with a CHIP reaching up to 230 HP as estimated! waiting for the next 6 days to pass by to get the engine running
the great thing about it is its high torque plus my mechanic swears with that engine i can outrun almost all the cars in jordan and be on the top 5 list wit out a c20let!
cant wait to see it !

congratulations man... wating forward to see you kick ass again (as long as it is not my ass).
