Something is Missing
Tuesday, July 19, 2011 1:43 PM
Finally got around to it. Completed first phase of hopefully getting a little more HP out of my tired 2.0. Pulled motor on saturday and it took a little more time than I anticipated. Next step is pull the motor from the donor 4 dr sedan ( I have it stored about 15 miles from my house). Separate the trannys, replace the clutch and steering rack. Reinstall motor and hope for the best.

That yellow item off to the side.... is that your new forced induction system? :> I based this on the engine tie down strap, bolted to the front of engine, to keep everything in place !

Good luck with the swap and transplant. You'll find it was worth every drop of sweat...........

oh hell man...drop the GM 3.4 V6 into it. 170-190 HP depending on how you arrange the piping. You're half way there!

That forced intake / flux capacitor stuff wasa riot....

Alan, All it takes is 1.21 GigaWatts of power to get your Flux Capacitor to work.
