You have a Chevette and you're not from the USA?

Normally I'd say Quad 4, because light mods will get you 100hp/liter and it'll bolt right in, but the good years of Quad 4 are pretty rare and that's in the US.

I'd look for a pushed 2.2 out of a Cavalier or S10. Good, reliable motor with more power than stock and should be a simple swap.

Throw a V6.

i actually loled, i said cheap to maintain, plus one on the advantages of the chevette is the light weight i dont think that masiva engine would help

>>16316969
i was going for the 1.6l just couse its easy to find, the gti version on the other hand not so much, but still i would need a new driveshaft and that would add more complications i want to stay simple, one of the things that made me re think that swap

>>16316979
Yhea they are pretty rare, hmm actually a pretty decent choice i will look into it, a website in the US to look into prices and stuff?

Try putting some throttle bodies as well.

>>16317155
I love them if i do the swap i will get one, but the thing that bugs me is the new driveshaft

>>16317179

>4.3

My bad.

>>16317183

You'll easily find one from Brazil.

>>16317179
way too heavy for my taste i am searching for something more compact

>>16316733
Nissan SR20DE? Mazda BP? Fiat/Lancia Twin Cam?

I'm not sure what engines you can find in Uruguay.

Volkswagen AP sounds like a good plan. At least parts are plenty.

>>16316821
I think he meant a honda K20A


which would be pretty cool

>>16317197

Then put the AP.

Japanese almost none, from old corollas like the ke70 and some 80 celicas, but no sr or rb. We got mostly common engines from low tier cars like gol, corsa, yeta and that kind of stuff.
Yes that was my thought and i would double the power, the thing is that i dont know what driveshaft to buy, to stay rwd since i want the car to start drifting/ocassional racing

>>16317219
Start contacting shops or ask around people who modify cars in your area. I think getting a custom driveshaft for an AP swap will be easier than looking everywhere for a different engine and gearbox combo.

>>16317206
Oh lol that was my first though when i read the comment i hate honda sound, but i respect people who like them

>>16317237
a friend told me to use the chevette one, and reinforce it, but i dont trust that much, i think i will start contacting stores

>>16317218
sorry br/o/ i am trying to keep it light weight

Chevy ecotec. Good aftermarket support, plus, how many other 4 cylinders can take 1000+ HP

google "bad seed chevette"
some magazine writer stuffed a Caddy 500 in there

>>16316881
they were also sold in europe / uk under the Vauxhall badge. ive owned one in Aus.

>>16316733
There was one recently near me with an SR20 in it, neat idea installing a 2.0l engine though i would have gone with a 3SGE for the toyota reliability.

Ive never had a problem with mine.

>>16316909
Youre going to need to find an adaptor plate for whatever engine you want to use to the gearbox you have. Thats going to be the most difficult part, unless you find another stock engine.

>>16316733

iron puke is the only logical answer its the chevettes natural partner.

or Rally.

K series are cool but have a bit of a ricer tax. But you also get a wide aftermarket.

Ecotecs are a bit cheaper, though not as powerful. But still, they have good aftermarket. Or had, not sure if the aftermarket cares about the Ecotec engines anymore.
