Working on Getting LSJ Swap Kit, anyone interested?

I have been in talks with Whitfield Racing (the people that did the 07 SEMA Aveo) and they are thinking about wholesaling their LSJ Cobalt Swap Kit for the 04-Up Aveo to me. Prices are undecided at this time, but depending on the price, how many of you would be interested? Trying to get a figure for them. The more people interested, the cheaper the kit will be...

Still working on the Turbo Kit, been busy designing some new sites and my dayjob is taking a lot of time, but we are almost to the point where I will need a test car for the IC piping and then we are done...

Interested.

count me in

does it use the cobalt tranny as well or the aveo tranny?

I'm pretty sure the Aveo tranny won't match up at all...I could be wrong.


If it ever happens I'd be interested.

I figured as much. May I suggest using the cavi tranny. It is stronger and more readily accessible. There is something that has to change with it to make it work but it can be done.

This kit will use all the Cobalt (or Cavy) parts, just allows them to fit into the Aveo...

Will work with the LSJ or L61...

**** im in for sure .what would the kit include like the new mounts and stuff?

Pending on price.

Would include the new mounts, and maybe a new crossmember. Still hammering out the details...

I have a co-worker that looked over the articles.
How much are the engines/tranny running in the Salvage yards? or
What years do the two engines come out of?

I would rather not make my Aveo this kind of project. Don't want to scrap a perfectly good engine.
Your turbo kit would be more my interest.

I want to add A/C.
But in either case, does it trash then idea A/C?

I have not got to look at the articles.

With the proper fitting, A/C will still work...

The 02 Cavy motors will work with this swap as well...

i am already working on this. my time frame is about 3-4months and i should have the cobalt supercharged motor in with tranny and suspension.

keep the motor mounts in mind tho if they are aftermarket or factory like the cobalt

thanks

i am going to be posting pics under my posts so keep an eye out for anyone who is interested and will be posting video links to my you tube

good luck guys and again watch for my pics and videos

btw i did make the decision a last week to go with the supercharged motor do you think i am doing the right thing or go with the turbo charged motor?

I personally would have gone with the turbo motor after working on the supercharged ones. They are a PITA to get power out of and the aftermarket is smaller. The direct injection turbo motor has shown plenty of potency and finding a turbo to swap is MUCH easier than swapping the heaton on the ss/sc motor.

And anyone doing the swap, do not skimp on the LSD. It is sooooooo worth it. Especially on a light car with power. It is cheaper to get the tranny with the LSD than try to put one in afterward. the parts alone will make it more expensive. Not including the install kit you have to buy and the actual installation.

Whitfield racing can do a full LSJ swap just like they did for the SEMA Aveo for around 10 grand.

The kit is designed and sold to me by Whitfield Racing.
