will the 2.0 lsj fit into a cavalier any year any model let me know any info thanks

 

it will physically fit in any year cavy, but would be a TON of work to make it work in the car

 

yes it will, however it would cost more money to make it work(electronically, harnesses, ecu, and ect)than its worth. unfortunately, 4cyl chevys aren't like hondas/acuras where you can swap parts in and out like Mr. Potatoe Head...lol

 

It will work, but like blackngold20 said the wiring is going to cost you and be a pain! You would be better off swapping a 2.2 from a 03-05 cavalier and putting a S/C on it. Will save you alot of money and time!

 

You could do that or go the turbo route and save tons of money and be faster...thats what I wish I would have done instead of putting nitrous on my cavy 2.2 ecotec and blowing a wrist pin.

 

If you have an ecotec cavalier, you might be able to get it to work if there is tuning for the cavalier by keeping your current wiring harness and adapting it to the LSJ.

 

Won't work the LSJ's have throttle by wire and the power steering is much different...it would take a ton of money to make it work...

 

Just get a stand alone and you should be fine. Then just get the mounts fabbed up and should be easy from there. Like the people said above I am not sure it would be worth it. You a pretty much limiting yourself at 300 hp and that may not even be 300 safe HP. Now if you are looking to do the swap and go turbo without the blower you would have one hell of a cavy. Just my opinion.

 

i have also thought about doing this and making a drag car out of it, since i have a spare motor and tranny with complete wiring and computer for an ss/sc. Its either that or building a sand rail / dune buggy with it, which would probably be a little bit easier.

 

might as well do the 3800 s/c v6 swap, same amount of work...more of the engines around. ,more aftermarket support..and best of all, more power

visit www.j-body.org , as this swap was done, and discussed many many times

 

thanks for the info i really appreciate all the knowledge everyone has

i just loved the lsj that i had in the ss/sc and i was tryin to find other cars to put it in that would make it more of a sleeper to mess with the honda crowd around my area

I do think the 3400 or the 3800 would be a good swap but four cylinder sleepers are a lot more fun, obvisiouly with all the people with hondas and acuras but i cant stand all the crap about the b18 and h22 crap that they tried to pull on the cobalt. yes they are good swap engines especially in cars that are so light weight , but one you have to know how to drive, and just because they are bigger motors in smaller cars, does not mean it will beat every car. Don't get me wrong not everyone that owns a honda or acura is that way by no means but as with everything its the kids that thinks these things that ruins it for some people.

Thanks

 

Obviously he would need to swap in a cable throttle body and modify the accessory belt, its easy enough.

 

I say, if he wants an lsj, get an SS/SC. It'll be easier, cheaper, and more reliable.

 

correct me if im wrong but wasnt there some one around who was in the process of putting the lsj into a cavy?

 

Just get the 2.2 Ecotec with the GM SC kit already from the cavy... you could add a HE or build the engine and end up with a lot less money spent.

 

MY buddy has a 01 or 02 can not remember, but he is swapping the 2.2 out of the 03-05 and S/C it. Also just fully built it! You should just got that way with this and save yourself the time and money. He is on here I will have him post everything that you will need if you want to go that way!
