transplant a 16 valves head on a LT3 2.0L
Wednesday, October 29, 2008 9:01 PM

First of all (english is not my own language)

I have a 2000 Daewoo Lanos but i swap a LT3 engine in with the 8 valves head!

I begin the project to swap a 16 valves (Daewoo Nubira) head on my LT3 turbo engine...

If someone want to do this, you need almost a complete Nubira engine to make the conversion!

You need the head

The water pump are not the same (not the same number of theet on the pulley) and the T belt gear on the crank and idlers pulley and tensioners+ the timing belt cover...

After that you also need to notch the pistons (LT3 turbo pistons) to allow the space for valves clearance...


BUT i still have a problem...

I want to keep my 749 ECU but i can't put a distributor on the 16 valves head...

How can i have my signal for injection and fire (without distributor) and keep my 749 ECU???

I can use the nubira block (with the hole for the crank sensor) and a cam sensor but how i can convert the signal for my computer ( i see a box from MSD, but the box is for 24 tooth pulley (corvette)



I need help if someone have idea ...

Isn't the LT3 engine a 350 v8? IF so you might want to search for a v8 forum.
