Thanks I will be using those!

maybe its just me bieng an idiot. but i cant get any of the links to work. i judt need to know what the tranny is in my 01 2.4 auto.

I'm going to post up the information that I can since all of these links are broken. It won't let me post up a lot of pictures though the website keeps saying I'm at my limit.
Once I get all the information up here a mod can delete this post and everything above it so that only the useful information is here. Also, if someone can tell me how to post pictures on here without just linking them from another site I would appreciate it. I have a decent amount of technical drawings I could share, but I don't know how to do it other than through photobucket, and like I said, if they are on this server they will never go away. I will add more information to everything listed below once I figure out the picture issue. |

Gear Ratios: First: 3.58 Second: 2.02 Third: 1.35 Fourth: 0.98 Fifth: 0.69 Reverse: 3.31 Final drive ratio: 3.94Type: Transverse Front Wheel Drive, Five-speed Manual Transaxle. Maximum Engine Torque: 210 Nm Maximum Gearbox Torque: 230 Nm Fluid Capacity (Approximate): 1.7 L (Dry) = M86 1.8L (Dry) = MG3 Case Material: Aluminum B&M install directions Tools needed: 10 mm socket 13 mm socket Socket driver and extension Sharpie marker Utility knife or file Long, thin straight slot screwdriver Paper towels Disassembly: Step 1. Clean out stuff from your console, as you will be removing this. Step 2. Four 10mm bolts secure the center console. One of the four is under a cover directly below the part of the dash that houses the radio. Use the straight slot screwdriver to gently pry the cover off. Remove the bolt. Bolt number two is under a trim piece behind the shifter. Gently pry off the trim panel (disconnect the power window switches) and set aside. Remove the bolt. The final two bolts are located inside the area under the armrest. This is where a long extension comes in handy. Remove the two bolts. Step 3. To remove the center console, you will have to clear the shifter, parking brake handle, and another piece near the front that lies under the car. Unsnap the shift boot and pull the parking brake up as far as you can, as this will make it easier to clear both the brake handle and the shifter. Once you’ve cleared both pieces, gently move the console forward and lift to clear the hidden obstruction. Also, at this time you will want to remove the power wire for the second power outlet (cig lighter) if your car has one. Once you have the center console removed, place it somewhere out of the way. Step 4. As you look at the shifter assembly, you will see two pieces that look like hydraulic rams that attach to the shifter. These are the shifter cables. Mark the position right in front of the gray and white clips as this positions your shifter’s gears. Release the cables from the shifter by gently prying up on the white and gray clips. They do not come up all the way but once you have moved them up a bit, you should be able to move the shifter around and the clips will slide over the cables instead of moving them. Step 5. At this point, you need to remove the shift knob from the stock shifter. To remove it, you must twist and pull up on it hard. After the knob is removed, remove the four 13mm nuts that hold the shifter assembly in place. Also remove the two 10mm bolts that hold on the metal bar just above the front of the shifter assembly. Next, use your screwdriver to pry up on the two retainers that hold the cables to the shifter assembly. (these are two white cylinders attached to the front of the assembly) Once you have them dislodged, lift the assembly up and remove it. (this may take a little bit of wiggling the assembly around) Step 6. Remove the fore-aft cable end from the bottom of the knob. This piece just pulls off. Step 7. Remove the side-to-side pivot pin by pushing the slotted end through the base. (if you break this, it’s ok because b&m gives you a new metal pin to put in) Step 8. From underneath the shifter assembly and using a the flat head screwdriver, carefully pry the three tabs of the plastic shifter retainer (looks like a round plastic ring that surrounds the “ball” of the shifter) toward the center of the base while pulling up on the retainer to disengage it from the base. This step takes a few tries. The tabs are hard to dislodge. Be careful not to use too much pressure and break the retainer. Step 9. Remove the upper o-ring and then pull the shift stick out of the base. There is also a lower o-ring; save both of these as you will use them when you reassemble the shifter. Step 10. Carefully disconnect the plastic main pivot housing from the shifter. This is the piece that surrounds the ball of the shifter. Installation: Step 11. Grease the main pivot point of the B&M shifter and snap on the plastic main pivot housing. (grease is supplied by B&M) Step 12. Grease the nylon pivot cup of the B&M shifter. This is the small cap attached to the end of the arm that comes off the ball of the shifter. Step 13. Place the lower o-ring into the shift base (if it came out… mine didn’t) and then insert the B&M shifter, followed by the upper o-ring. Make sure the pivot cup (the small cap from the last step) engages into the side-to-side actuating arm. Step 14. Secure the shifter into the housing by snapping on the shift stick retainer. This is the point where, if you didn’t already remove the stock knob, you need to remove it because the retainer will not clear the stock knob or the other end of the shifter. Step 15. Grease the supplied pivot pin and push it into the shifter base and secure it with the supplied c-clip. This is the piece referred to in step 7. Step 16. Grease the lower ball of the shifter and snap on the fore-aft end cable. This is a little tricky to do, as the round end of the shifter doesn’t want to slide into the end cable. Push hard is the only advice I can give. Eventually, it will snap on. Step 17. Reinstall the shifter assembly into the car and secure with the 13mm nuts. Make sure you get the cables back into the cable ends before you try to remount the assembly. Also, make sure all carpeting and insulation is cleared from under the shifter. I found it easiest to slide the cables back into the cable ends far enough that I could attach the cable retainers (white cylinders attached to the cables) to the shifter base. Then move the carpeting and insulation as best you can and line up the holes. Use a straight slot screwdriver to clear any carpeting or insulation that might be caught under the base. Step 18. Position the white and gray clips to line up with the marks you made on the cables and snap them back down. Step 19. Temporarily install the shift knob and test entry into all gears with the clutch pedal depressed. Apply a small dab of grease to the plastic interference “step” that blocks entry into reverse. (aka the reverse lockout) Make sure each gear can be smoothly and fully engaged before proceeding. This should not be a problem if you marked the cables. If need be, make necessary adjustments to the cable positions until each gear smoothly engages. Remove knob. Step 20. Replace center console. Just reverse the order of steps 1-3. Make sure to plug in your power windows and power outlet if applicable. Step 21. Note: slight modification to the shifter boot frame may be required to give adequate clearance for the shifter while in reverse. Use the utility knife or small file to remove a small amount of the shift boot frame and then test before proceeding. Do not completely cut through the frame as it may no longer hold its shape or install correctly into the center console. I didn’t need to do this but you may. Step 22. Affix the shift boot to the reverse lockout sleeve. Use the supplied tie wrap if needed then snap the shift boot into the center console. Another step I didn’t need. You may want to get a different shift boot depending on your tastes. Step 23. Install the supplied rubber washer over the threads of the shifter and into the reverse lock out sleeve. Then place the supplied spring on top of the washer. Step 24. Screw the knob onto the exposed threads. Then install the supplied o-ring onto the knob insert and press the insert into the top of the shift knob. Step 25. Once again test the movement of the shifter into all gears making sure all can still be fully and smoothly engaged. Step 26. Take the car for a drive and enjoy! |
2.3 Oil Pump Conversion For the 2.4 Twin Cam
Here is the how to for doing the 2.3 oil pump conversion, so that hopefully all those who search from hereon will find something solid.
The how to comes from Mantapart (thanks Tim) and it seems to work. Parts Needed 2.3L Pump: Crank Gear for the pump: Windage Tray: 22536409 Baffle Stud: 22542521 x2 Baffle Bolt: 22540299 x2 Oil Pick Assembly: 22539133 Brace: 24570677 Bolt To Screen: 11516802 x2 Nut For Brace: 22535081 x2 Bolt Flange Head: 11516061 x2 Oil Pump Bolts To Block: 14050422 x2 Locator Pins For Pump: 22531530 x2 2.4 TC Crankshaft Modifications (Replacing the oil pump drive gears) The 2.4L crank drive gear must be carefully heated and pressed or tapped off the crank. Be careful not to damage the crank surfaces or apply a lot of heat to the crank. The new oil pump drive gear should be heated and pressed back onto the crank. Use a brass hammer only if needed so you do not damage the teeth. 2.4L TC Block Modifications (These need to be done by a qualified machinist) The oil passages to the pump must be re-machined to match the 2.3L pump. This operation must be done with the engine apart since it will require thorough cleaning when finished. Make a template from the right side of the oil pump that includes the bolt holes, oil passage and dowel pin holes. Lay it over the bolt hole on the block and carefully center and indicate the large oil hole center. This hole must be started and then drilled at an angle to intersect the horizontal oil passage that runs below it on the block. If you look from the back side of the block you will see where the passage pipe plug comes out. Draw a line on center with it and the hole center punch you have indicated and that is the angle the hole must be drilled. Drill the hole small and then increase drill sizes up to 9/16”. You will break through the casting and then drill into the oil passage casting. Make sure the final drill with the 9/16” bit is done slowly and smoothly, since you have to install the 2”x9/16” sleeve afterwards. Cool the sleeve and coat it with sealant. Gently tap it into the hole until it is flush with the block deck. Remove the oil galley plug to clean the passage and make sure the sleeve does not protrude into the oil passage bore. Mount the pump up to the block and square it with the back of the block and snug it down gently. Take a small center punch and indicate the right side dowel pin hole into the block. Remove the pump and drill the hole to size #A machinist bit about 5/16” deep and then tap the dowel pin into the hole. Block the existing oil holes on the bottom of the 2.4L block: You must block the passages on the #3 and #4 main bosses on the bottom of the block, also. The larger angled hole can be tapped to a 3/8NPT (May require re-drilling to 37/64”) Remove the small round sleeve next to the hole first. And the smaller hole on the #3 boss needs to be drilled to a #R Machinist drill and tapped to 1/8NPT. The best is to use flush Allen pipe plugs and coat them with pipe sealant. Install the pump on studs on #4 main bosses. A 14mm plug or short bolt can be installed in the other hole on the #3 boss. The sheet metal oil pickup holes will need to be slotted or you can carefully braze 2 small washers on it to line up with the studs that are installed on the #4 boss holes. Fit the windage tray up – you will have to bend the left side up some to clear the thicker oil pan flange rail on the block. You will also have to enlarge the two holes at the studs to fit onto them. You will then have to indicate and drill two new holes for the windage tray front on the #2 boss flange area also. We suggest either a 3/8-16” coarse or 10mm x 1.5 thread bolts here, about ¾” (20mm) long. 2.3L Pump Modifications (The pump comes supplied with all other mounting hardware, etc) The bottom boss on the oil pump must be ground down to clear the bottom of the 2.4 oil pan and the oil pickup may have to be moved up some to make proper clearance with the bottom of the pan. Make some trial fits with the pan and pump with the old oil pan gasket on the block to ensure proper fit. Some pans may require grinding and/or welding (aluminum) on the pan also for clearance. Make sure the pickup is not flat against the bottom of the pan. |

This information can also be applied to picking the correct sized throttle body for your engine. article can be found here: http://carcraft.com/techarticles/56919/ The value of using CFM formulas. "Textbooks tell us you can accurately select the proper carburetor size based on a relatively straightforward formula that takes into account engine displacement, max rpm, and volumetric efficiency (VE). Plugging some actual numbers into the equation, what does it recommend for a 350 engine turning 6,000 rpm at 100 percent VE? 607.6 cfm?! Virtually no one—whether the original equipment manufacturer, aftermarket tuner, or racer—actually installs such a small carb on a high-performance 350. In the real world, everyone knows these engines make more power with larger carbs. Yet dyno-tests show the formula is an accurate reflection of an engine’s airflow needs. The equation breaks down as a realistic carburetor size selection tool because carburetor flow ratings (in cfm, or cubic feet/minute) are taken at an arbitrary vacuum drop—3.0-inches Hg for two-barrels; 1.5-inches Hg for four-barrels—and there’s no guarantee that, at max-rpm wide-open throttle (WOT), any given engine actually sees the theoretical vacuum drop for which the carburetor is rated!" The breakdown of what the flow ratings on carbs and throttle bodies really amount to. "On the other hand, if a carb really does pull 1.5-inch-Hg (or more) vacuum at WOT, it has become a restriction. The carb is actually too small to let the engine realize its maximum power potential. That’s because the greater the pressure drop (the higher the vacuum reading) across or through the carburetor, the lower the air density is inside the intake manifold and combustion chamber. Racers like to see no greater than 0.5 to 0.75-inch-Hg vacuum on the top end. But race cars have high-stall converters and steep rearend gears, and most of them are lighter than the average street car. Racers don’t mind recalibrating the carb on the spot for changing track conditions. They are unconcerned about low-end driveability. That’s why all-out racers, when not restricted by the rules, run huge carburetors—the bigger the carburetor, the lower the pressure drop across it at any given airflow. It’s a different story for street cars and dual-purpose street/strip packages. For these combos, the limiting factor in carburetor size selection is on the low-end side of the fuel curve. Will it have good part-throttle driveability in the engine’s normal operating range? How will it drive in the winter, desert, and mountains? As in life, so it is with carbs: Compromises are called for—a fine balance. Not too big because you’ll lose driveability. Not too small or the carb becomes a major bottleneck. For most hot, dual-purpose cars, pulling about 1.0-inch-Hg manifold vacuum at WOT, max rpm on the dyno isn’t far off. But there are no guarantees. It’s impossible to know for sure how a carb will perform in a vehicle based on how it did on an engine dyno. Every combo behaves differently; what works in a featherweight car with a manual trans and 5-series rear-gears ain’t gonna cut it in a 3,700-pound ride with a mild converter and 3.23:1 rear gears. As Grant puts it, “You’ve got to do lots of empirical work and go through lots of trial and error. It really takes thousands of carbs before you get an intuitive feel for what’ll work on a given application.”" here are some general rules in the article that can be applied to throttle bodies: • Higher rpm requires a bigger bore • Higher horsepower requires a bigger bore • Higher compression ratios require a bigger bore • More ignition advance requires a bigger bore • A manual-trans car can use a larger bore than an automatic-trans car • Steeper FDR gears tolerate a bigger bore • Lighter cars can use a bigger bore • Heavy cars need a smaller bore • Too large a cam for the application requires a smaller bore • With an automatic-trans car, too low a torque-converter stall-speed for the application requires a smaller bore • Mild FDR gears require a smaller bore • Low compression requires a smaller bore |
MSD DIS-2 Install
How to install an MSD -DIS II module on a 96-02 Cavalier with the 2.4L engine.
Diagram of DIS IIMSD Tech Notes In your installation manual you will be mostly dealing with the diagram on page 11, figure 11. To get to this on the car you must first remove the IDI cover on your motor (the part with 2.4L Twin Cam written on it). Under that you will have a white ignition tower and a black and silver square looking module. Remove the tower from the IDI cover and you will see your coils. The wires between the square module "Power train control module" and your coils are the ones you will be cutting. Just a suggestion....mark one of the white wires with a dot so you don't have to remember which one is which! I cut and soldered the wires, then covered them up with heat shrink tubing. There is one brown wire which is your "ignition 12 volts", and 2 white wires which are your "triggers". What I did to tell them apart is to look at the bottom diagram on page 11, coming from your coil harness the far left wire is your brown wire "ignition 12 volts", the second wire over on both the diagram and the harness is your trigger 1, and the last one on the far right is your trigger 2. You might have the cut part of the black piece that is on the white tower to feed all the wires out, but try to keep as much as possible because that keeps the wires from touching the control module, which gets extremely hot. Or you can drill a hole in the side of the white tower case, as I did in the picture above. Just be sure to feed the wires thru before you solder them! Wiring On the square module/plug side of the wires: Connect the 2 red MSD wires to the brown "ignition 12 volts" wire on the plug. Connect the white MSD wire to the middle white "trigger 1" wire. Connect the green MSD wire to the other white "trigger 2" wire. On the coil side of the wires: Connect the 2 brown/orange MSD wires to the brown "coil (+)" wire going to the coils. Connect the brown/white MSD wire to the middle white "coil (-) trigger 1" wire. Connect the remaining brown/green MSD wire to the remaining white "coil (-) trigger 2" wire. You have now completed the hardest part of the installation! Completed towers (shown with RK Sport spark boots installed) If you want to change your spark plugs now is the time to do it since everything is all apart. If you are going to be running nitrous I would MOST DEFINITELY switch to a super copper plug, like NGK TR55, otherwise it is up to you. All your have left to do is mount your DIS II box and to wire your pos and negative to the battery, and the theft deterrent and staging rev limiter if you decide to run them, otherwise cap them off and they will be fine. Switch settings N/A setup SW1: S1-OFF, S2-OFF, S3-OFF, S4-ON, S5-OFF, S6-ON, S7-ON, S8-ON SW2: ALL OFF SW3: S1-ON, S2-OFF, S3-ON, S4-OFF, S5-ON, S6-OFF, S7-OFF, S8-OFF Nitrous setups 2 degrees retard, for up to 50-hp shots SW1: S1-OFF, S2-OFF, S3-OFF, S4-ON, S5-OFF, S6-ON, S7-ON, S8-ON SW2: S1-OFF, S2-OFF, S3-OFF, S4-OFF, S5-OFF, S6-ON, S7-OFF, S8-OFF SW3: S1-ON, S2-OFF, S3-ON, S4-OFF, S5-ON, S6-OFF, S7-OFF, S8-OFF 4 degrees retard, for 50-HP to 100-hp shots SW1: S1-OFF, S2-OFF, S3-OFF, S4-ON, S5-OFF, S6-ON, S7-ON, S8-ON SW2: S1-OFF, S2-OFF, S3-OFF, S4-OFF, S5-OFF, S6-OFF, S7-ON, S8-OFF SW3: S1-ON, S2-OFF, S3-ON, S4-OFF, S5-ON, S6-OFF, S7-OFF, S8-OFF |
