GtipGary Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 does ne one have an l67 for sale and approximately how much... or better yet a donor car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSI_MuNkY Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Q-ball almost bought one off e-bay for a few grand. Other than that I would suggest checking with wreckers, I think I was quoted $1200 from the wreckers around here, but that was with no guarentees Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digitaloutsider Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 The LQ1 has plenty of potential, it just needs to be tapped. At least there's people like Josh who aren't giving up on the motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GtipGary Posted April 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 i dont know.. having problems with it that i cant figure out... i already had another gp with an lq1 tons of problems that are a pain in the ass to fix ... im quite tired of the motor to be honest... also from what ive seen and ive talked to quite a few people, there arent many performance upgrades for the lq1 but the l67 on the other hand has pages and pages... I also want to make the car unique as far as body,suspension, motor ect and i havent seen very many 94s with an l67. Also what did you mean by there is no aftermarket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitaloutsider Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 Believe me, there is absolutely nothing unique about swapping in an L67. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GtipGary Posted April 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 I know its been done before by a bunch of people or w/e. Still its not very common. plus it think it would be funny to race someone in a newer gtp or regal who knows enough about grand prixs to know that my car has an lq1, and then have them trip out when i beat them in a race Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GtipGary Posted April 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 here is a list of things ive heard i can do to the lq1; cool air intake, underdrive pulley, exhaust, solid or stiffer dogbones, new ignition module (which ive heard is useless), and crank scraper. Ive also heard that i can have the computer reprogrammed. I have the exhaust, intake, and dogbone, and i really didnt notice that much of a difference. I know i still cant beat an l67. IDEAS?

digitaloutsider Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 My LQ1 walks the shit out of stock and slightly modded L67's. It's downright embarrasing for them at highway speeds. I'd convert to OBD-II for tuning ability. Do the UDP, do the 96+ intake swap and search 60º to see what timing adjustments are available to you. If you want to spend the money on an L67/4T65E-HD, why not look into turbocharging the LQ1? There are tons of possibilities in that department. Come to the IRC room one day and chat with us. Preferably when Sean and Matt are there too. plus it think it would be funny to race someone in a newer gtp or regal who knows enough about grand prixs to know that my car has an lq1, and then .. beat them .. That would be a shitload more fun with a boosted LQ1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GtipGary Posted April 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 I definately agree with you about that. but ive heard its a total pain in the ass plus a shit ton of money to turbo my car, although i have really thought about it. By the way i am sitting next to shocktherapy and he has been telling me about all this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z34-5speed Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 Keep the LQ1. With the money you would be paying to swap the l67 and to purchase it you could've built yourself a very nice LQ1 that could walk a stock or slightly modded l67 and still sound good, IMO l67s sound bad enought to where i wouldn't get one. I remember a guy named Kevwood over at 60degreev6.com that had his LQ1 built and it made something like 240 wheel i want to say? I believe that was on stock intake manifolds and with minor tuning. Bottom line, the LQ1 may be a pain in the ass some times, but it is an awesome motor IMO and i think you should keep it. Kyle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is easier to tune with. I thought I read somewhere where it said someone used 2 front manifolds for their turbo setup(60* V6.com maybe???). timg turbo'd his Monte Z34, he has a cardomain, and i think DOHC is working on one.

digitaloutsider Posted April 15, 2007 Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 Yep. I believe Tim used two front manifolds for his turbo setup. Here's his CarDomain.

Andrew Posted April 15, 2007 Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 i still really want to see someone here do a STS turbo set-up. you wouldnt have to worry about your manifolds either. http://www.ststurbo.com/universal_system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwmin Posted April 15, 2007 Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 yes, tim (timg) and shane (redzmonte) both used flipped front manis on the back and ran identical setups except for the piping. of course, you cant do the same thing w/ the manis on the 96-97 motors. tim is talking about running a T76 now http://www.60degreev6.com/showthread.php?t=33277&page=2 http://www.60degreev6.com/showthread.php?t=33495 cant find a good tim post, but hopefully, he'll find this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSI_MuNkY Posted April 15, 2007 Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 OBD 1.5 is in the 95s as well.... trust me, I'm stuck with it... for now I'd still rather do the L67 swap than a turbo LQ1... but I hate the LQ1, I hate working on it, I hate paying to have it worked on.
