Aveo 2.0L - [May 19th] Crappy Cellphone Video Up!

[xiaogary]

I would get a 2.0 ECU and piggy back it. Since after more modificaion, piggyback is necessary to modify the mapping. And also piggyback can modify the ignition timing, and fuel duty cycle. Can maximise the potential of the hardware. Futhermore, piggyback is transferable to next car, so its worth the investment.

Its interesting if the pinouts at the harness connected to ECU is identical to 2.0 ECU. It means the ECU is same brand and same type, only fuel mapping is different due to cc difference. Which I highly doubt so. I think need to cut and rewire the wires to new ECU.

I am surprise flywheel do not fit. I thought all GM 6 bolt flywheel is the same, only port type or flat type. But 6 bolts are the same. Pls ask your mechanic to turn the flywheel, because the 6 bolts is not equi-distance to each other. 2 bolts are nearest to each other and two bolts are furtherest to each other. Which naked eye cannot spot it. Turn the flywheel around in cycle. It should fit. There is only 4 tpe of flywheel, 6 bolt pot, 6 bolt flat, 8 bot pot, 8 bolt flat GM flywheel. So as long as 6 bolt, it should be fine. In fact I am using 6 bolt Pot flywheel from Opel. Same from GM, it fits also.

piggybacks run about 500$, i don't think he needs to worry about it at this point in the game

did i miss the part where we talk about the flywheel not fitting? lol which flywheel doesnt fit?

1.6l flywheel don't fit on a 2.0l engine, but xiaogary might have solved that one

god my eyes must be going because I completely missed that part.

pioneering does suck thats why its not cheap

The 2.0 flywheel is in and the engine is now in the car bolted up the tranny, the rest of the tranny components bolted up without problem, now all i need is the alternator bracket and the front one to bolt the power steering and stuff. I also need a new cat, the 1.6 cat's bolt holes are just a tad off from the 2.0's exhaust manifold, 2 bolts fit but the 3rd one doesnt. Hopefully the 2.0's cat bolts to the downpipe, else ill need a downpipe as well.

Stay tuned

pics mate, pics

[Nemasys]

Yeah i was in a hurry today when i went to the shop, forgot to bring my camera

You guys will get plenty of pics once its done

[mikedudley17]

u gettin excited yet? i sure would be lol, plz hurry with the pics!

[Monzaveo]

Yeah, pics, and road test report.

Demanding minds want to know,lol.

Its an awesome feeling when the hurdles are overcome.

Reminds me of way back when I bought my first car, a 1980 sunbird. Without really knowing anything I dove into a v8 swap. Talk about hurdles, but once I made it through it, it was awesome.

That was a little eaiser though since the factory had done all the homework. In your case your a true pioneer. cant wait to see the pics.
