engine swap questions
kinda OT, kinda not. the daewoo group is crap and is bombarded with nothing
but scams. questions are as follows: has anyone ever swapped an accord/prelude engine into a 2k daewoo lanos s, and if so, how hard was it? the daewoo has an e-tek 1.6 16 valve engine in it, and from what ive seen, some of the accords/preludes have similar engines under smaller hoods (surprisingly, i have quite a bit of room under my daewoo). if ANYONE can point me into the general direction of a daewoo discussion forum or anything similar, id be most appreciative. despite puting a CAI into the daewoo last night, i was only able to get a noticable boost on the high end (going from 80-120mph was FUN!), and not enough on the low end. many thanks! ps - and before you bash daewoo, ill have you know that ive taken on many tricked out civics and CRX's, and havent been beat that often. no, i dont race on the street, i go to closed tracks that make you pay :( pps - i want to buy about ~20 acres in austin texas and start a drag strip. whos down? AFAIK, you cant enforce street racing laws on private property. if you know different, by all means let me know! |

My advice is to buy an engine made for a daewoo since the engine mounts and various wiring harnesses,etc will match up perfectly and would require very little work on your part. That would not be the case if you tried to install an Accord/Prelude into it. I once talked to a person that placed a chevy engine in a ford. He told me that it was a the craziest idea he ever had. He spent over a week welding in new engine mounts and rewiring everything. He said he could have placed a Ford into it in about 8 hours or less. |
