  • 89 Cav 3400 swap help

    i have the 3400 engine completely rebuilt in my garage, for the life of me i cannot come across a swap chip or engine mount. im not sure how reliable the WOT tech chips are. any feedback. any info on helping me get the project rolling would really help

    Sorry, havent had a chance to respond to your pm yet.

    Yes, I still sell chips ( for now anyways), and daveycav is the man for a mount.

    I'll also see what I can do about activating you on v6z24.com.

          i do want to ask anyone if they know what throttle cables work. i have one from a 95 cavalier 3100. the hookup is the same but im not sure about the lengh, worried i just may have wasted money. any info on that would be awesome

            Wow I didn't know that Cavys got the 3100. If it is then all you have to do is swap the 3100 throttle shaft into the 3400 TB. I have a write up on doing that on Bnet(I can link it if needed).
            The 2.8/3.1 shafts will not swap.

              Cavaliers never got a 3100, a '95 Cavalier would either be a 2.2L or the 2.3 HO.

              The cable may still work though, you'd have to post a pic of the end.

              3100 Corsica/Beretta cables are a perfect fit if you can find one.

                the car i pulled it from must have been a swap then lol small world.
                GM DOP: 04/95
                it had a 3100 but it did have the motor mounts like the GAGT right on the rad support. looked like it belonged in there lol. i think the end is different it looks like one from a bike brake cable. and superdave i did mean to tell you i plan on deleting the EGR assembly, seems like a waste of time to adapt it its already a QQ in newjersey next year! lol i also bought a spec stage 2+ clutch ive read good things but id like to hear it from the master. and i cheaped out and bought an oem replacement flywheel. it should be alright tho. my thing is is i joined the marines and im leaving for bootcamp in october. the clutch will be here at the end of the month and i still need to buy the chip and make an egr delete. i want to get this swap done before all of my friends leave for college so im not on my own, roughly the end of august. i hate to be pesty and needy but im on a time restriction. as for the egr i plan on just buying a piece of metal and drilling the bolt holes to cover the intake, i also read to buy a bolt to go into the manifold. does that sound like it would work? im pretty good with a wrench. but im a little shakey on my own car i like to hear from other people that it does work. any information again is greatly appreciated guys thanks!

                  I always disable the EGR in the chip unless someone asks me not to.

                  I also disable the charcoal canister, you might want to pick up a vented gas cap at some point.

                  Cable looks right, and that's the right bracket as well.

                    thanks superdave! i have everything already being shipped. going to pick up the mount tomorrow. so now i just need the chip. i only live in new jersey so shipping it wont take long. no rush. i plan on starting it at the beginning of august. putting maybe 2 days aside for it. not my first rodeo lol. and if by any chance the domestic crew swap guide is still around can you send me a PDF file for it? i tried several links on v6z24 and they all dont work. just so i dont waste time on heater hoses and and little crap like that. your literally like a 60v6 mentor. thanks for all your help man!

                        ran into a few issues with the axels today. got them out tho. all wiring is unplugged and vacuum disconnected. feels weird looking at the ecu in my passanger seat. made 1 mistake by leaving the windows down and now with no ecu or wiring harness they aint going up lol. another question, how exactly does all of the vacuum hook up to the 3.4 plenum? and do you use the 3.4 or the 2.8 throttle body? anyone who can speak from experience would help. and i have an external slave, but its held in by the engine mount so that will be coming out last. please help with my questions if you know the answers. thanks guys!
