supertrick_05 Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 I'm going to be looking at a 1992 Grand Prix tomorrow with a 3.4 and the 284 5-speed transmission. The car has high miles, so if the engine decides to go out on it, could it be replaced by the LQ1 from a '96 car? I heard they had better flowing intake systems and they switched to a different fuel injection, and a few other little things. Could the '96 engine bolt up and plug-n-play in the '92 car with the 5-speed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOT2B GM Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 it will bolt up, but not be plug and play (OBD 1 in the 92 , OBD 2 in the 96) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supertrick_05 Posted December 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Hmmmm...a screw the LQ1...if I'm gonna put in another engine, it might as well be something worth putting in...an L67 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 you can use the newer LQ1, just gotta swap some stuff over from the old one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobertISaar Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 Turbo a LQ1 and eat L67's for breakfast. WIN. a 96 engine in a 92 car: electrically, pretty easy, the EGR and possibly the coolant temp sensor will be a minor setback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supertrick_05 Posted December 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 Turbo a LQ1 and eat L67's for breakfast. No way...I'd rather have a great engine to start with, supercharged at that, than to put money into turbo'ing one of the worst-feared engines that GM has ever made.

AL Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 Sorry Chris... 94GPGTP is doing the exact swap your talking about right now... You would have to convert to OBD2 and follow his thread for the wiring for the manual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
