timg Posted March 30, 2005 Report Posted March 30, 2005 Sounds like the perfect 3.4 turbo project... Tim Quote
mfewtrail Posted March 31, 2005 Report Posted March 31, 2005 Unless the LQ1 was modified, and running faster than most of the GTPs at the mod day, I think it'd be kinda lame, you would definately be shunned a bit IMHO. But a cool project none the less, maybe some GTP owners woudl start to realize the advantage of high flow heads. They're trying to get four valve heads into production already, but they were pretty damn expensive(maybe $4-6K :shock: ). Either way, the L67 heads seem to be working fine as you can see w/ the turbo cars and really modded supercharged ones. Quote
White93z34 Posted March 31, 2005 Author Report Posted March 31, 2005 i don't want a GT i want a GTP, i want the extras that come with the GTP package. Quote
Vegeta Posted March 31, 2005 Report Posted March 31, 2005 Id sooner put a 1.8 sunbird motor in one. That would throw their grading curve off a bit:P Quote

Guest Anonymous Posted March 31, 2005 Report Posted March 31, 2005 why would you want to put a *insert derrogitory term* 3.4 DOHC into a 97+? what would be the point? Quote

White93z34 Posted March 31, 2005 Author Report Posted March 31, 2005 i'm not asking why i want to. i'm asking how. plain and simple, i like the LQ1. i think it would be a unique swap, and to me thats the way i would want a 1997 Grand prix GTP. besides i detest taking the intakes off a L67 friggen PITA.

THe_DeTAiL3R Posted March 31, 2005 Report Posted March 31, 2005 LQ1= lucifer This coming from the owner of three... I just don't see the point cause the car is too damn heavy. 1st gen are the perfect size and arguable (certain models) look better. Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted March 31, 2005 Report Posted March 31, 2005 Chris, we've had our 3.4 battles many a time... if this is what floats your boat, then go for. Wouldnt be me, tho... and for some reason, I keep aquiring more 3.4's.... Quote
AL Posted March 2, 2012 Report Posted March 2, 2012 Is Fehl going to be the guinea pig for this swap? Quote
GtpKo Posted March 2, 2012 Report Posted March 2, 2012 I was wondering this myself lately... funny. Practical? No. Fun? Yes. Difficult? Not any harder than an L67 into 1st gen swap. From what I can find, the 2nd gen w-body is only 100 lbs heavier, which you would get back from swapping in a 284 while you're at it. I think an entire turboed LQ1/284 powertrain swap would be the only proper way to do this. Quote
White93z34 Posted March 2, 2012 Author Report Posted March 2, 2012 Is Fehl going to be the guinea pig for this swap? I have a spare LQ1 that I'd sell him.... Quote

Euro Posted March 3, 2012 Report Posted March 3, 2012 +1 vote for the most pointless engine swap ever. Quote
