Blew my engine

Post by daewooluvr »

Well guys,
at 82000 miles, the wrist pin in cylinder #4 let loose.

Well I'm contemplating on doing the 2.0 swap since a buddy of mine who works at a salvage yard has one. Can anyone help me out with any info that I may need? Email me at daewooluvr@yahoo.com since I'll most likely be away from the computer for a while other than to complete any sales of my stuff.
Here's what I know so far:
  • Using a motor mount for an 88 Lemans (what year range and engine type do I look for?)
    Using the Nubira ECU and Main Harness
    Using the Nubira AT tranny (what tranny is it? Is it the same as the 1.6L AT 4T40-E tranny?)
    Using the Nubi T20SED engine
Anything else I should know?
I'm selling all my bling parts from the 1.6L engine here

I really feel Sorry to hear that Shaun :(

Look at this link for some pictures on a 2.0 conversion

Pics Lanos 2.0 conversion

Honestly i dont know the diference between the AC and no AC base mounts... as far as i know they're both the same...

now that i think about it... I have one in spare!!!! my C20XE came with one! so i have the 8v one at the shop!

The main problem is that if you install this you will lose the Power steering...

You need the mount for the 2.0L Lemans engine..... If I were you I'd go to a wrecker to get one.... you should be able to pick one up for $10

I'm a little confused about the listing you gave... it should be the front passenger side mount that you need... but make sure it's for the 2.0L as the 1.6L mount is longer to accomidate the smaller block.

If you go to a wrecker and find a 2.0L Lemans you will be looking at the C20NZ which will fit into the Lanos but I think it makes less power than your previous 1.6L A16DMS. :(

There may be some issues with swapping a nubira engine into the Lanos as many of the accessory brackets will interfere with the mounts.

If you have your heart set on a 2.0L 16V Nubira engine you will need to convert it over with parts from the 2.0L 8V Sunbird engine ( since the brackets are in the right place and won't interfere with the engine mount)

The T20SED ( 2.0L 16V Nubira ) comes with an engine mount in the center of the timing chain area just like the new Aveo/Kalos 1.6L and Optra/Forenza/Lacetti 2.0L.

So the easiest swap is the 2.0L Turbo 8V Sunbird engine ( C20GET ) and it's the easiest engine to get some decent power from (just have to bring the boost up a few PSI )

This older engine does not have an OBDII ECU so there could be issues with your local state emissions guys.

It is possibly to upgrade it by stripping a T20SED nubira engine of all it's sensors wiring and ECU but it all depends on how much time you have to spend on the project.
