engine dimensions
Monday, January 23, 2006 9:15 AM
i was looking at getting a turbo for my cavy ( 2.2-2200 ). but with the high miles, i'm now leaning towards just doing an engine swap. was looking at the 2.0 turbo engine from a saab. (i believe it's a 2.0)....anywho, here's my question, does anybody know where i can find the dimensions of the block? i've searched online, but can only find pics and specs that state the performance of the engine. i want to know so i can figure out how much fab will be required as far as engine mounts and how much room i have to play with.

thanks in advance for any help you all can provide.

The engine will fit, the trans is what you'll have problems with.

why don't you just swap an LD9 into it?

i screwed up. it's not a 2.0. the one i was looking at is the 2.8L V6 LP9. big difference i know!!!! so it looks like i have some more searching to do. i'm sure if i'm bound and determined, i can make it fit

and i'm sure your right shifted. the trans that comes with it is a F40/6. saw it's the same one used in the G6's. so it's not looking good at that end

if you're going with a v-6 just go with a 3.8 s/c



The one, the only, ME.

Use a Old Pontiac Sunbird Turbo Manifold. It will fit the 2200 and allow you to boost the engine 3psi without an intercooler.

I have never heard of anyone doing that. Will the computers fuel map handle that extra air? If it will it sounds like a fairly easy mod.

i also believe that thats not true, the manifold i don't think fits, and the turbo itself is to tiny


you'd prolly hurt performance if you try
