Your setup starts 2 sound clearer now that u explained it but where and how much was that customed exhaust manifold to hold the turbo, and also where did u get the intercooler? REAL NICE JOB SPILNER  but why the swap after you have created such a masterpiece  |
Thanks for the compliments. What you have planned sounds like a good start before the turbo, and those mods will help make more power with boost too.
The turbo manifold you can find on eBay or in the classifieds section on Jbody.org. Just search for a Cavalier 2.4 turbo manifold and you find a couple.
The intercooler I got from Johnnyracecar.com. The guy makes them himself and they're really good quality, but for whatever reason he stopped making then temporarily and hasn't started again yet.
Why am I swapping you ask? Basically, I want more power. I'm swapping to the newer, more efficient, more boost friendly 2.2 Ecotec engine. I'm dropping in forged internals, Comp turbo cams, fabricating my own tubular exhaust manifold as well as intake manifold, using a GT3071 ball bearing turbo and when all is said and done it'll be pushing close to 400whp. On top of that, I'll also be using a newer '04 auto transmission that will be built to handle more than 500 ft./lbs. of torque, and it'll be so strong that the engine will break before I ever have to worry about the tranny. And you thought what I have now is a masterpiece...
