Autruche Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 Yeah, dude, I had a grand am, same car basically, that I hated with a passion. The only way they come in stick is the 4 cylinder, like wtf, why is the gt only automatic, stupid move for gm. Some good cars would be like a mazda mx3, ford probe, honda civic, a VW, a Saab, older porsches, nissan maxima, mitsubishi eclipse/eagle talon, dodge stealth/mitsubishi 3000gt, the list goes on. just don't be a pussy, drive stick.

Gotloud555 Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 so im thinking bout swapping out my engine in my 2001 alero. atm i have a 3.2l v6. if my engine is good enough for me to just add parts, like turbo or super chargers and racing performance parts would it b a better idea then swapping it out? WHen you doing a swap, there things that need to consider. The 2 main important factor are times and money. What's your purpose on swapping and do you have any knowlegdes or tools. Are you doing this swap alone or with anyone who's fimilar about mechanic? I wouldn't buy or put cheap parts on upgrading on your car performance because you might be looking for trouble. For the particular vehicle you have, I think i would add a turbo into but before that i would do a compression on it to see if your engine can handle the pressure. I have done swap and ins't eazy because it just time consuming and messy but in the end you learn the idea of doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wL<3bass Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 (edited) I hope you fully know what you getting into when you decide to swap something, and turbocharging a N/A motor takes a bit of knowledge... If your not an EXPERIENCED in engine rebuilding and engine wiring.... You may want to pay someone to do it...

OrionStang Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 What are you looking for? A sleeper? Or just a fast car easily modded? Mustang is the hands down best choice for the latter. And each model from '80 to present has it's own options. Also, what is the budget for this? Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sully Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 A stock LS motor can take about 6-8lbs all day but if you want to have some fun throw in a set of forged pistons/rods/crank and push 14+ psi, now that would be a bad ass ride.

LS series motors loves boost even a stock bottom end... OK, here we go. A stock 4.6 ford internals can handle up to 500 HP. Not sure about the LS. But, the Mustang is historically lighter than the Camaro, so that is advantage Mustang. Think about an '80-'86 Fox body with a turbo, destroys any Camaro from the same time frame. Can't remember who, either DC Power or Mechman, had an old fox body they built up. I don't think the OP's talking about new cars, but even if he was, the 5.0 Mustang kills the new Camaro, even with the solid axle.
