Better than Honda swaps

I have a 06 Chevy ss sedan it’s a 2.4 auto I put a supercharger on I’ve debated looking into this swap so I can ditch my automatic transmission has anyone done with the supercharger?

Math says that if this thing even puts 160 to the wheels then it is overpowering pretty much even the most built stock turbo Focus ST.

Don’t drink and work also…you could fill up the radiator with beer instead coolant. Cheers !!!!!

What size tires do you run? I want to put wider tires on mine but I don’t know what size to get

how bout the solstice its basically a gm Miata for parts wise

hello my guy i had a question what do you thunk about the lea e85 variant?

Have the link of the fender flares?

where did you buy your engine ?

I see you are still running the Yonaka coilovers. No issues since install?

How can I wire them to the stock wire harness

Appreciate your video man, I was going to go Ecotec, but I ended up choosing J35A4 instead. 240 hp (270 with just a tune) over the Ecotec ~160 and Honda reliability was what sealed the deal for me. I'll be making some videos of the process as I go thru it. I'm intimidated by the swap as well, but hoping I'll have your results/feedback when I'm on the other side!

I would love to convert my cobalt to rwd I’ve been thinking on using the Pontiac solstice but I was wondering if this trans adapter and Miata trans will work on the supercharged lsj engines

Nice job. Now you have to get the car up to 130 mph and see how it holds the grip.

Don't forget the le5 is a ss sport model only engine. The hhr ss has a 2.0 turbo motor called the lnf 2006-7 cobalt ss have the supercharged lsj motor. The 09-10 base-lt have the LAP motor which is vvt and makes more power and has more tunability over the 05-08 l61s. And 05-06 l61 cars are not tunable unless you pull all ecm components out and use a standalone. I have a 5spd LAP xfe In my cobalt

Skyline!

Hey man, i got myself a 2007 forester and am also planning on doing an ej205 swap, got any tips or helpful advice i could use that you wish you knew yourself? thanks!

“It’s just a miata” that one hurt bruh😓

I got the same problem but mine drives fine

I'm looking to buy some flares for my Miata but am not a huge fan of the black plastic look, does anybody know if you can get them sprayed to your original car colour? Don't really have much knowledge when it comes to Cars so am sorry if the question sounds dumb

Where get you get the header?

I got the same exact model lmao

Did You have any issues with the lower coilovers mount fitting into the lower control arm? Bought these coils and they don’t seem to fit unless I’m doing something wrong

i have a 2009 cobalt lnf turbo engine would this fit ?

The 2.4 came in the cobalt sport. Not ss. Ss had lsj (supercharged 2.0) and lnf after 09 (direct injection turbo 2.0)

ecotec swap and put on an ITB. There you have a wannabe miata engine that reaches 200whp XDDXDX

How many inches wide are your spacers? I need them asap my wheels look tucked in because of my flares

so late, but how are they now if you still have them? might buy a pair to up from stock!

where did you get the motor from?

Nice video bud. I have a '92 1.6l ....man I wish I wasn't from Cali so I can do that swap.

What are you using to tune on and has it been a pain to get someone to tune it?

Great video but you could at least cleaned the wheels.

got an 03 Forester, should be SOHC, can you add a turbo to these or do you need to "build it up" with forged rods, crank, and pistons ? I think I know the answer. They make a tool to get AVCS pulley off. I DON"T know what i am doing, but I am learning. I replaced the head gaskets on a 99 legacy DOHC, cleaned the valves, new stem seals, and drove it 250 miles after putting it into a vanagon. Vanagon SHOULD get painted by end of Month and home by Feb.

My stock 1.6 just went out might be getting an ecotec

quick question, where does the far left vac line on top of the intake manifold lead cause mine is blocked off and i don't know where its supposed to go

Nice 👍

I heard Ecotec engines are notorious for front crank seal leaks..

Tires size ?

How kms on it

What brand is the side skirts, fender flairs, and front lip?

This is my first time to be doing a JDM EJ205 Single AVCS swap in my 03 WRX. The JDM Single AVCS EJ205 that I bought from JDM of California has a Drive by Wire throttle body. So I bought both halfs of the AVCS wiring harnesses and I had to buy a JDM automatic ECU. Before I start swapping the Drive by Wire to the Drive by Cable throttle manifold. I have some questions to ask- 1. Gladly you have an automatic too and I am wondering how the auto is able to handle. Are you keeping regular transmission fluid changes? Do I need to buy a better torque converter? 2. Did you reuse the throttle manifold and TGV gaskets? Will my old ones be good to reuse?

I've got an oil pump leak in my 90 miata. Engine has to come out. Everyone keeps saying it's less work to pull the trans out with the engine., But I don't see that, I'm going with the engine alone. Do you have to remove the starter to get the engine detached from the trans? The top trans bolts can be reached from the top in front of the firewall.

Thanks for this video. I was about to write off Ecotec when I noticed that their "complete kit" has no exhaust. Conclusion: "complete" is not complete and has potentially time-consuming and expensive surprises ahead. What do you think about vibration through the engine mounts?

I found that Yonaka exhaust when paired with the LE5 to drone terribly with the hard top installed. I chopped up the rear section to install a different muffler to cure the drone.

How they holding up bubba

What's up bro . I just subscribed to your channel I love what u did with your miata looking great . I have a 1994 miata I've been thing a lot on what to do with it .
