Ok so i think a lot of you know i want to swap an SS/SC engine into my aveo.
and im 95% postitive i can do that now.
However i dont know if i could put stage 2 on it.
So i know you guys know more you think it would work?

 

If its the lsj motor you can put the stage 2 on it.

 

delete this thread sorry for the double post.

 

is that even possible?

 

what the engine in my aveo?

 

If you can fit the engine then you can put stage 2. Its just a pulley swap, injectors, and a new tune. None of this take up more room in the engine bay.

 

yeah the ss/sc engine in an aveo because i know it is supposed to be hard to put it in the 2.2 so i dont see how the aveo is any easier?

 

yea good luck doing that.... my buddy had problems getting it in the 2.2 also...But if you can succeed thats going to be one fast ass car

 

Anything is possible with money, so it can be done.

 

Please understand that I am not hating on you, I am just going to give you some brutally honest advice. I read your first post explaining why you are here and I have no problem with that.

You are obviously young and do not know a whole lot about cars, but would like to improve upon what little you do know. I think the body kit on your car looks decent. By far the best looking Aveo that I have seen. Being that I manage a paint and body shop, I have seen my fare share.

It is a waste of time and money to put the 2.0 in your car. It is a waste of money to do any engine swap on your car. With the amount of money that you are going to spend doing that, you could have bought a Cobalt ss/sc with stage 2, exhaust, etc...

Furthermore, lets say that you actually pull it off. When you go to sell the car (and you will eventually sell the car. You may not want to beleive that, but you will) you will not even get %10 of the money you invested in it back out of it.

More importantly, you would have to do way more than just an engine swap. You would have to upgrade your suspension, brakes, cooling capabilites, transmission, axles and more. Keep in mind that the suspension and tranny in your car right now is only designed to handle the 110 horsepower (maybe) that you currently have. If you put the 2.0 in it and do nothing else, you'll burn up your clutch, tear up your axles, wheel hop like a ***** and destroy your transmission very quickly.

The best thing that you can do, is to improve upon the cosmetics of your car and maybe add a good audio/video system if you do not already have one. Save your money and buy a car that is built to go fast.

Do what you want. It is your money and your car. I am not judging you, I am just trying to give you some professional advice.

 

i understand you completely.
And ive been thinking about not doing it any ways.
I think im now leaning more toward just doing some interior work to the car..
And if there is an 08 Turbo cobalt....im pretty sure im gonna trade in my aveo for that lil puppy....even tho ill still have a money on my loan for this car i think ill try and do that....but maybe not. who knows.

 

Being that the Aveo is a pretty cheap car, your best bet would be not to trade it in right now. Get it paid for and then save up for a down payment on a ss/sc. That way you will have one car that you own outright. Never hurts to have one that cannot be taken from you. Besides, you'll get raped if you trade it in. You would be better off just paying it off.

 

so i guess in 5 years or so ill be gettin a new car.
