Getting a new engine

spc2125 · 12-01-2010, 07:38 PM

i have an 2002 alero 2.2L eco
when the man in the sky finally takes my baby, is there anyway to revive her (buy a new engine)
is it possible to transform her into a manual trans and how much would this cost?
all engine ideas are welcome and encouraged

eco did have a 5spd variety. Find one, and yank the trans. Direct swap.

what engine are you looking for? eco, DOHC, or 3400? or do you want to do something like a 3500 swap?..yea you can swap to a manual, there are a few people here who have done the swap maybe one of them will chime in

if this is true, then i doubt ull b swapping engines or trans anytime soon, at least without reading up on it a lot.

well...I'm biased and hate 4 cylinders so I'd have to say the 3400

^^ i love my 3400.

but converting your 4 cyl auto to a manual would be tight. idk on any pricing on how much it would be though.

We don't want more rice burners on our roads. Buy american!!!

Idiot..... Supras are turbo Straight 6's 3.0 Liters bigger than 2/3's of the engines aleros came with..... in stock form the bottom end it rated good to over 500tq on the 7m engines and over 900tq on the 2jz's

on a side note. I had a Poopra once... it was nice and by far one of the best cars I have had! Till I spun a rod bearing :-/ I forget to check the clearance on ONE stupid bearing when I put it together haha.

and a vast majority of toyotas are made in America... and most American cars are based on "race burners" anyways.

I love my Alero to death but your just being ignorant.

if you do make your car fast and furious I will kill you

then I might go suck some dck because I enjoy looking like a D-Bag in my riceburner that I'm going to paint just the way it looks in The Fast and the Furious so it will run 4 seconds in the 1/4 just like it does in the movie!...AND, I dont want to help the american automarket..so of course I'm going to buy from its biggest rival, toyota, and I really want something that will allow me to hook a resistor up to my post 02 sensors and have the kind of performance gains that a mild cam will give me, Because I really only want to mod will pennys and nickles and have the fastest car on the road. so why not a supra??

Fixed

Sorry in advance if I offended anyone but spc
