well as some of you know I have a running eclipse gs with front end damage(radiator, headlights, bumper cover, fenders, hood) and i dont want it because its nothing special to me. So I was working on the aveo yesterday and changing the oil and just looking things over and I really want to build a car like the clean and pro civics i see but i dont want to be a follow, I want to apply that stuff to the aveo. This would most likey need hardcore work that I dont want to do on daily driver aveo. Well my dad use basically all the junkyards around here for the bodyshop and I want to see if i can get one to trade me a junkyard aveo hatch 5spd (pre electronic throttle cable bs) for the eclipse gs. Well before I can get my dad to look around for a junkyard with one, I have to convince him that I can make an aveo fast because I already briefly ran it by him and he said y not just build a car that u can make fast. I told him i want a hatchback and he told me y not a civic. Then i told him i dont want to build a civic, i want to build the aveo. then he asked me how i was going to make an aveo fast when there are no parts. well here is where i need help, i need to come up with a bunch of modification i can do to make the aveo perform better and faster. I know alot of the engine work might have to be custom but for most of the build I can use parts that are universal or can be used universally.
here is what I have so far:
what made hondas popular- bigger displacement engines into lightweight econoride bodies. aveo = econorider lightweight body so that part of the formula, the other bigger engine...well let see we have the u20sed which can make good power with little simple mods so I think we have a match that is similar to what honda has...not exactly the same seeing as honda has more tech advanced engines but gotta work with what you got. plus we can finally put to rest the question if the swap will fit and work.
other parts:
-fluidyne radiator for a civic (possibly half size to make room)
-FAL slim fans (also make room)
-engine damper (will reduce some of the stress from the bigger engine)
-other simple things like CAI, headers, and full exhaust are things that can be custom made and add to the power
thats all i have for now, so if you can add something please do.
part of the reason i want the spare aveo to work with is i dont have to ruin my one i am still paying for plus my ride wont have to be off the road if i am doing the swap or other stuff that takes longer than a day and I dont have to worry about braking warranty with the possibility of going turbo. So i need the parts and info to back up making an aveo fast and persuading my dad
