GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

Not much pictures on this forum of engines.I would like to see some. Modified or not.(Please, don't sneak in a Toyota Corolla engine,and call it a Vibe motor, that would simply confuse many people here) :J)Heres from my 2004 Vibe, stock but clean:

Looks GREAT! Why don't you drive it? What are you using to keep it clean?

Really easy. I have done this to all the cars I've gotten. Some of the engines really, I mean REALLY dirty.Get a can of Gunk foamy engine cleaner, go to a self car wash that has a high pressure nozzle, coat the engine with engine cleaner, soak for 5 minutes and spray off.Looks much better.The trick tho is once the engine is clean and dry, spray the whole engine bay with "No Touch" tire spray, wait about a half hour for it to soak in, then towel off excess.That easy.

wow man thats looking great, your engine is clean as can be. i think i'm going to give that a try and see how mine comes out

Cool beans.Do it! Take some before and after shots.Quite dramatic

my engine is neon green lol, but i definitely want to clean it up a little myabe this weekend coming up ill give your way a try and see how it comes out, cause im still amazed we have the same car same yr and your engine looks brand new. how many miles are you at?

57K It was a one owner, middle aged woman, Carfax came out great, all sheduled milage work done, local car. Quite happy.Looking forward to installing the Pioneer Avic Z3 next weekend.

Here's a few Tim aka.houseofbugs, took of my Vibe at a local meet a few years back.

Filth represent!
10 years of dirt, dust, and pine needles!

I am slowly trying to clean it up -- I made great progress after a recent detail job but didn't take any after pics. Will keep on until it looks like one of the above (which ironically my car's engine is spotless like you guys, I slack when it comes to the Vibe. )

Engine mods: exhaust manifold heat shield painted black, Grafx Werks metallic silver "VVT-i 16V" engine cover overlay, K&N Typhoon metallic silver powder coated cold air intake, AEM Brute Force air filter and Optima 35 series Red Top battery. Nothing fancy, but it's clean !

1zz/c60, LOL

Here's the before, i'm getting her detailed next week

Turbocharged, non intercooled 1.8L 2ZR-FE in a 2010 Vibe base.

Sorry its so filthy. Rustproofing is partly to blame...

it will look pretty much the same when the turbo goes on , cause its a rear mount set up
