lumina racer Posted July 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 So does the harness just plug into the stock one or does it replace it entirely and will it plug into a euro gauge cluster other than that it should just drop in and run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy K Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 So does the harness just plug into the stock one or does it replace it entirely and will it plug into a euro gauge cluster other than that it should just drop in and run re-wiring will be necessary. it will not be plug and play.

ManicMechanic Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 No. You will need to deal with wiring to get it to run correctly. Â Actually, you can, if both are obd1. You will have to move some of the electrical connectors around a bit. In fact, the lq1 CAN run on the 3.1 computer, but it ain't pretty. I think you are incorrect and correct both: Â AT THE SAME TIME?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GP4U2NV Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 The cradle that comes on any L67 I'd imagine wouldn't bolt up to his Lumina. I think any 1st gen Regal with the 3800 can donate that.

Octavarium454 Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Well if all you shooting for is 200 WHP then why waste your time trying to fab up a way to get a L67 to bolt in there? A LQ1 (3.4 DOHC) put out 215 HP (the power at the wheels is far less, but I think I've read around the 185-195s?). This way you can keep the same motor mounts and you would just have to change out the wiring harness. Plus WOT-Tech makes an excellent chip for OBDI DOHC motors. Also, you said you can do some fab work so if you could give this motor a good set of headers on it then your looking at 230 WHP easy. The L67 is a good motor but in your case I would go with an LQ1. Unless of course you want low end... Â The LQ1 has horrible low end, but above 4000 grand is where this motor shines. Â Oh and if you do decide to put in an LQ1 and rebuild the motor, don't do what I did and neglect to change the Oil Pump O-ring. 3 weeks later and it leaks like a mother fucker. Runs like a fucking champ too, god I hate life sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Want 500 hp it can be done. Want 300 easy. It can be done. Â Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Â Â I understand that but what I said is all he wants is 200 WHP, if he has no future intentions of trying to get more power out of the car then why waste his time trying to fab up an L67. I'm just trying to save the guy a lot of time. I agree though, if he has any future plans whatsoever in getting even more power then doing an L67 swap is the only way to go.

My motto is more power the better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octavarium454 Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 Well damn I just re-read this whole thread and I have no idea where I got the 200 HP thing from. Sorry bout that, lol. Hey, someone has to defend the LQ1. Just a shame the aftermarket is far smaller than the L67. It has potential, that is for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
