New to the boards but have some questions
Tuesday, September 06, 2005 3:15 AM
Ok my current project i am going to start working is a 92 sunbird LE <aka slugbird> it has right now a 2.0L and an auto tranny <my knee is messed up so no stick for now >. Now i want to get creative to a point and try on of 2 things; first i would like to try to turbo charge the 2.0 but have found nothing other then the stock turbo motors, or doing up an Eco 2.2L or a 2.2L from a sunfire as they make turbo kits for those engines.


Haven't seen too many posts on the 2.0L to 2.2L swap so im guessing no one has done it or isn't sharing the info . One other problem i have is i live in one of the worse states for body cancer <rust belts of Michigan> and as such this car has some bad areas like doors and rear shock tower <driver side>. Any sights on replacement panels or doors would be great. I have also seen after-market places selling body kits for birds but no hoods is there add on hood pieces <ie scoops, ect> that someone could link to me or send in an email or IM?


Now the inside of the I Haven't came up with a game plan for yet still have some ideas though

Any help would be great once i know for sure I have the car I will post Pic's of it

For those year models I think most people are doing a V6 swap. Never heard of an eco going on one that year. I know they make hood pieces for your car dont know where though but its out there. For body panels. you could try carparts.com They might have it. If not maybe a local u-pull it junkyard. Good Luck

If you haven't already, you may also want to check out v6z24. That site is strictly for second generation J-Bodies. You will be able to get answers to all your questions there.
