toms92gpse Posted October 10, 2007 Report Posted October 10, 2007 I love my lq1, I thought about swapping at one time, but I really do like the power band of the Lq1. Besides something that runs high 14's or low 15's is plenty quick enough to take most of what is on the road and get out in traffic and go. I've had almost no probs with my Lq1 even at 165k miles. It runs perfect and once at highway speed keeps up with the wifes gtp, but her car will kick my ass from 0-60. After I replace my timing belt and do the cam timing mod and replace all the gaskets from the heads on up (my rear cam carrier gasket has a minor oil leak), I'll probably save up and start getting stuff together to do a turbo set up. I may even get some major head work done before I replace the head gaskets. Quote
synistershadows Posted October 10, 2007 Report Posted October 10, 2007 i love my LQ1 wouldent trade it for anything!! but then again i wont be doing to many mods to it ANYTIME soon i figure why mod this engine when i can save up and go out and get a nice little toy project car say a 69 charger or camaro??? then maybe after im done with that project ill mod out my LQ1 Quote

Go4DaMo Posted June 21, 2014 Report Posted June 21, 2014 One of the best posts ever. haha agreed. I love my lq1, I thought about swapping at one time, but I really do like the power band of the Lq1. Besides something that runs high 14's or low 15's is plenty quick enough to take most of what is on the road and get out in traffic and go. I've had almost no probs with my Lq1 even at 165k miles.

RobertISaar Posted June 22, 2014 Report Posted June 22, 2014 is there some kind of pattern to what is getting bumped??? Quote
Go4DaMo Posted June 22, 2014 Report Posted June 22, 2014 not really...tangential dysfunction...started off searching for "Myrtle Beach", then would click on user profiles & scroll through their most recent posts (most of which don't post anymore, so it took me back a few **years** within minutes). did a lot of page 1-on reading and occasionally commented. before I knew it, 6-7 hrs had flown & I was back in Ohio. as much as I love driving, I was in an accident the day I left for vacation & it felt good to let the other 2 family members drive my Charger home yesterday...let me relax.

Go4DaMo Posted June 25, 2014 Report Posted June 25, 2014 WTF is with the 5+ year old thread bumps. Shit I just explained the whole thing right above you!! Quote
l67ss Posted June 25, 2014 Report Posted June 25, 2014 If someone came up with a good kit to convert it to timing chain (like intrigue 3.5s) I might build one Quote
Nas Escobar Posted June 27, 2014 Report Posted June 27, 2014 If someone came up with a good kit to convert it to timing chain (like intrigue 3.5s) I might build one That might be an idea to run to the Fiero dudes... They love this engine for some reason. Everytime I search LQ1 I always find someone having it in a Fiero. Quote
Turbocharged400sbc Posted July 2, 2014 Report Posted July 2, 2014 the TDC 3.4 is the worlds greatest engine...when its on the stand, put it into a car and its a service nightmare. id only own one again if it was in the back of an open tube chassis... Quote
