Has anyone ever seen a rare 93 Lumina 2.2 L4??

Good jebus that was a terrible vintage thread to dredge up.

Should have like a "worst of"

[Crazy K]

someone should do a compnine research...

 

 

It was found that one single 1994 W-body has a transmission besided a 4t60e, it turns out it was a 3t40... not checked, but probably a prototype

there were 1997 LQ1 luminas, but they were prototypes

there were TWO TSTE that weren't maroon or red, also prototypes.

there were also 21(iirc, I'd have to double check) 1995 CSs that had HUD, but all were prototypes.

rare oddities can exist.... some are not what they seem.

Oh god I remember my 2.2 powered Cav. I kid you not it got beat by a moped up to about 30mph.

[RobertISaar]

the only 2.2 vehicle i've driven was a 95 cavalier.... that was running on 2 cylinders(dead coil pack).

 

got ~10MPG and was faster walking.

[virtuetovice]

Toward the end, mine was running on an unknown number of cylinders with a popped head gasket. Quite possibly the slowest, smokiest thing on the road. It was like James bond meets Beverly hillbillies.

Ah yes, the 2.2 Cav. I had a '94 coupe, 3 speed auto. Kind of sad that going up a MINOR grade the thing could barely maintain speed.

I can say with 100% certainty that there were 97 lumina ltz with lq1. I owned one for about 6 months about 6-7 years ago.

 

Sure was a fun car. Borrowed it to my sister one night and she wrapped it around a couple of trees driving home from the bar.

 

But yes they did exist.

 

 

If someone can send me a vin from a 93 lumina I will do a compnine and see what all comes up.

^^^^

fwiw: this statement is complete and utter bullshit .......

 

 

....and now back to the regular scheduled thread.....

[Luke94vert]

according to compnine,

 

in 1993

 

Sedans

 

1 - 2.2 LN2

196,864 - 3.1 LHO

3489 - 3.4 LQ1

 

Coupes

 

0 - 2.2 LN2 - not even an option

17,593 - 3.1 LH0

12,323 - 3.4 LQ1

 

 

So finding 2.2 93 lumina would be a true rare find.

I did a few years ago...I got the same results as Luke.

[emptytank]

well i haven't seen a 2.2 lumina but i put a 2.0 into a 96 gp, i wouldn't call it fast but it was faster than say a cavalier or beretta with 2.2.

just like my 2.5 lumina beat the 2.5 cierra

[tar6569]

There was a 2.2 92 or 93 lumina 4dr on iaai a few months ago. I remember my brother went to the listing for it because he didn't recognize the engine letter in the vin (when scrolling through the luminas) and sure enough it was a 2.2

 

Take another look, it could still be on there. Who knows.
