ok so I trying to plan out the 2.0L swap as much as possible before buying parts and what not. So I was thinking since the intake for the forenza takes air in the top the intake can run from either side. This makes the options for a 2.0L turbo greater because you can free up room on the drivers side by relocating the battery and have the air coming from the driver's side. So let me here you opinions (all opinions will be accept except sticking with the 1.6L) ;D

why would u want to relocate the battery and run it from the drivers side? you can make the intake work better on the passanger side (i'm doing a write up on a GOAT air ram for the aveo to be posted tomorrow)

We have a 1.6L and I've had a CAI intake for the aveo for a while now ($30 compared to the $180 online). And by goat air ram do you mean short air ram. I am just thinking ahead after I get the swap in. I like to plan everything in my head first and on paper to have a direction to go in. This was just something that popped in to my head since there would be less room for a turbo with the 2.0L engine in there

Actully I think the clearence in the front would be the same with the 2.0 Best thing to do is just test fit it. I would be doing this If I had a extra car and somewhere to do it.

aren't we forgetting the biggest PIA when it comes to engine swaps... the engine harness? Hundreds of wires to cut, spliced, and mangled.

This harness has already been discussed on daewoo tech. The ecms for both our engine and the forenza engine are the same ecm excepts program a little different for the 2.0L. so it most likely could be a plug and go kind of thing except you would have to splice the guages and AC controls and fuel pump.

With my newer one(I should have pictures of that soon since i got a digital camera) that really long connector (which isn't silicone, its a piece of connector from spectra module intakes) has been traded for a silicone connector. Right now theres a like $2 filter from Pep Boys on there (its an APC or ACP?), so Im hoping to eventually get a K&N airfilter cause this one makes a horrible sucking noise right when you start it up but after warming up you dont hear it.

Ok been browsing through car-parts.com looking for an engine and found a bunch of autos and one manual. Now what is the difference between a manual and auto...i know the auto bolts to a 4spd tranny and maunal bolts to a 5spd tranny, but can i get like a maunal motor and hook it up to a auto transmission. I was planing on swapping in a manual transmission too but i don't know if I will be able to do it at the same time

Hey brian and 2004aveo correct me if Im wrong on this but dont auto's use torque converters, but I believe it's possible to hook it up to the manual motor you just might need a few extra parts.

i know manual/auto conversion cause I have heard of them. so i believe it would be possible

hey sam, yeah that is sort of like mine but with my K&N goat set up I get the best of both worlds of a CAI and short air raim

engine can be used on auto or manual. the auo uses a flywheel and tQ convertor. manual uses a pressure plate. problem your gonna have is the auto tranny, the aveo auto should bolt right up to the 2.0 but getting your auto tranny computer to work with the 2.0 ecm is the problem. since they are the same ecm I bet it would be a direct plug and play.

no not really. just get both wiring schematics and compare them.
