  • let me add that you car must eat civic si's for lunch

  • what kind of fuel economy does it get??? in mpg? my current toy is a 89 camaro with a 350 it chugs gas like a pig and would never keep up with your car

  • really nice car nice work, but what did you spend on it? i have a beater 91 cavalier 2.2 that i refuse to get rid of. i just love older j bodies. i know its weird

  • Drive the HONDA ;)?

  • 3.8 twin turbo

  • u should build a rear wheel drive v8 cavalier that would be awesome if could

  • @backyardjay im not really into the fwd scene but ya did pretty good on her jay! any mods to the suspension?

  • Is there a cold stat in there or is the stat stuck open?

  • @BlazerLT no tstat

  • @backyardjay Is that a temporary thing? I can't see it being of any benefit.

  • im a proud owner of a swapped 1993 3400 z24 cavalier... i personally know a guy that had a built 3500 swapped cavalier and his best time at the 1/4 mile was a 13.0 and he had about 330hp to the wheels and i saw it with my own eyes on the dyno... so once jay's car is tuned no doubt it will hit 12 sec. 1/4 miles with slicks.

  • @MGK1992 you're famillier with daves beautiful old white zed to eh? yeah my engine is the same build for the most part. i got all my specs from him, just tweeked a thing here and there. his numbers were impressive especially for running obd1. my obd2 will wake this up even more. gotta love some of these "know it alls" comments eh? haha cheers!

  • @backyardjay yup sure am... i actually live 20 min away from Dave haha, i rode in daves car and it was awesome, he helped me get my 3400 running good... but yeah awesome car, make a video of it again when you get that tune right...

  • @MGK1992 yeah Ben who used to tune for ZZP does my tuning. hes been away for a couple months, hes due back january or february. look thru my vids, youll find some swaps. if you ever need help or advice and cant get ahold of dave shoot me a message.

  • i love this car jay really love it to death got a question for you the 5 speed your running what car it came out of and any mods to mate it to the engine? over all great genuine craftsmanship your got there man cheers and beers!!

  • @jovanvictoria the 5 speed is from the same car (93 cavalier v6) yes it bolts to the 3500 no problem.

  • Fuel pump

  • Hey jay, my friend has a 97 cavalier an it won't run well. You have to put your foot to the floor to start it and it doesn't like to start it cranks well and when it does start it wants to stall what do you think is wrong with it??? Thanks for the help

  • @Mryekim12 same problem as that saturn i got for my girlfriend to use at the farm. in that case it was shitty bosch spark plugs. GM requires AC delco plugs only.

  • @backyardjay the cavalier i check had good spark with some ngk's will ac delco's really make a difference. also the throttle body looked gummed up with carbon will cleaning that solve the problem, do you have any other suggestions, when i turn on the ignition i can here the fuel pump going and it i think that it is fine. when i pull out the spark plugs some of them are wet, but when i check on the block for spark it works fine.

  • @Mryekim12 if the plugs are wet its not igniting. a plug can spark no problem in open atmosphere pressure. under compression the air is denser which acts as an insulator and the spark has a harder time traveling thru the gap. NGKs dont work well in most GM engines. replace with basic AC delco plugs and clean the throttle body.

  • @backyardjay thansk jay

  • well i don't like the crapaliers but this one does move i gotta say, wicked throttle response, though most of my vehicles sound like that after I seafoam em

  • How long have you worked for yourself and did you teach yourself everything mechanical?

  • not many of those around!

  • has no oil pressure

  • 9000rpms in that engine? It is not made for that? You will just throw main crank bearings or the harmonic balancer

    but it can sure move fast

  • Where in ontario you from jay, im from ontario too.

  • gotta love those old 2nd generation j-body gm cars. the body shape is so unique on the 2 door ones and the 3.1l you could get from the factory is an awesome engine! mine makes around 200hp est. and is one of the loudest cars in the area where i live lol

  • that thing sounds pissed off. badass dude.

  • is the speedometer reading mph instead of km? i thought it was pretty slow thinking it took about 7 sec to reach what read 100 on the speedometer. then, i realized you were nearing third gear by that point, and that your pcm must be US-based.

  • Man fuck da hater ur car is sick

  • nice ride....alotta piss n vinegar in dat cavaliers pants, holy shit.....Go fast!

  • Always liked these cars, 3.5 seems like a strong motor that got rid of the issues with the 3.1 and 3.4 motors, not sure if the 3.5 shares anything with them really though. love the hater comments in here, usually when I don't know shit, I know enough too keep my mouth shut. keep up the good work.

  • @backyardjay

    Great car man

  • Sweet zed man excellent work ! Dont listen to all the furious ricer lovers chirpin or that maliciousfiatSRT cash chucker fag hes just butt hurt he had to go to the fiat dealership and spend $50,000 on a lame as fuck SRT shitbox to keep up! cant wait to see some more vids & good luck swapping everything into your new blue cavalier when you get around to it !

  • Sounds lovely! :)

  • She is fast =)

  • Do you really think it could rev to 9000? That seems really risky. I mean sure, Honda motors can rev that high, but they're also alot smaller than a 3.5. Even if you have a valvetrain that can handle the rpms, wouldn't you risk having a failure in the bottom end? Thats alot of mass moving around at that rpm hahaha.

  • @surfordie82 forged steel crank and rods. high volume oil pump... it can do it, not point though. the sychros in these trannys wont let you shift over 7500...

  • @backyardjay Thats interesting.You'd have to completely modify the tranny to handle it so yeah no point. It would be funny to see the look on someones face when a stock looking Z24 revs in neutral to 8000 plus rpm at a stoplight hahah.

  • I liked how much the gas went down as you were speeding faster

  • Have you ever taken it to the track? curious to know what it runs in the 1/4

  • This should make people think twice before they bad mouth another Cavalier!

  • Holy shit man, that's intense!

  • sounds wicked!

  • thats nasty fast!

  • Sweeeet!!!!!!

  • are you crushing the red one or swapping in parts from the blue car?

  • Jay you look like Billy from Beverly Hills Cop! Wicked car, I wanna get one!

  • good lord, never seen a cavalier move like that before... or sound that good

  • I love the sound!

  • Comment removed

  • Is that your jetta?

  • @camaroz2855 no i wish it was. i want the diesel to swap in the lumina!

  • @backyardjay i have many of them diesel jettas

  • @canadacatalyst want to donate one? :)

  • JAY I WANT YOUR JETTA!!

  • @MoreChevyHP You don't know shit son 

  • That's fast for the little motor. Good job Jay. Looking forward to see how it does after brake in and a tune.

  • Is the blue on a 5 speed if not our you going to put one in it and repaint it to the red and put it like the red one

    

  • @shawnlowe1129 no its auto. the red one originally was auto too. i have not decided what im going to do as far as paint goes.

  • @backyardjay I mean our you going to put a 5 speed in it like you did in the red one.Do you still have the Thunderbird Can you do a update on what been going on and the cop car lumida. I love the Z24. Cheers & beer's thanks

  • @shawnlowe1129 ofcourse its going to be 5 speed.. and what thunderbird? ive never had a thunderbird. i dont like ford lol. and i havnt finished the lumina, too many other projects on the go.

  • andy moore sucks

  • >revs its tits off it when stone cold

    >doesn't use full throttle, does a run uphill

    >bouncing off the rev limiter at 5:28

    >claims 0-100 times of 3.99 seconds on facebook

    Dude, I really really like the car, but what is all this bullshit? I was waiting for ages to see a video man, I am disappoint :(

  • @knobcheese69 it wasnt cold i warmed it before the video, the temp doesnt go any higher theres no t-stat. you dont need to be WOT to hit limiter, i couldnt shift due to holding the cam, steering with one finger, on a beat to shit farm road. and yes, best time so far 0-60 was 3.99. why bullshit? whats the point? im not lookin to impress anyone, this is what i do for fun.

  • @backyardjay Why not take an extra ten minutes to find a suitable road and set up your camera properly? It'd be nice to benchmark the performance.

    As I'm sure you'd know, it is hard to believe things that you read on youtube.

  • @knobcheese69 i use the neighbouring farms old ghetto private air strip, they have a couple ultralite planes. tag expired nearing the end of summer and it needs an emission test now. thats why i dont drive it on the legit road. its only a taster vid, be patient, you'll see the full out action next spring :)

  • @backyardjay Cool man, I'll be waiting. Do a burnout.

  • 4 seconds to 60? must be kph, cause the only thing on that car that isnt metric is the rpm gauge

  • @backyardjay FYI, contrary to popular belief regarding overheating and power loss, if you don't use a thermostat, the block temperature will be improper and will actually lose power/efficiency because the rings will not seal/make compression to their full potential. Engines that are too cold or too hot are not making full compression at operating temperature. For longivity and power, I would run a 190 F or 195 F degree stainless steel thermostat and a Rad that is up to par to avoid overheating.

  • @knobcheese69 Lol i know and dont forget its -3C here and tires couldnt even spin first gear lol ohh and its FF . The car has 180 at the wheels no more this guys just dreaming my 500$ motor would keep up to him no problem

  • @DC2slammed im not one to argue especially online, however, if you watch your vid of your rice burner, you ran 16.4. you make the ricer excuse you had no traction and you had extra weight in your car. you claim you could have ran a 15 easy, news flash, 100 lbs doesnt = a full second, or in your case 1.4 seconds. with my old beat to shit 3400 which was stock and untuned on obd1 i ran 14 flat. you wouldnt have kept up then, and you sure as hell wouldnt keep up now.

  • @backyardjay lol listen man i know my cars you dont.. my car is slow! its rated at 140hp calm down i know your ricer cavalier means allot to you but wheres your proof of running 14 flat and running 13s!?..Your saying you have 350 at the wheels lol your a moron! you wouldnt even get traction in -0 weather with 350HP fuk sakes look at my 0-140 i reach that speed same time almost and have heavy rims stop arguing people with about that thing buy a real car&fuck your cam lol such a fag

  • @DC2slammed clearly you dont know shit. you know hot to build an intake pipe out of home hardware PVC pluming, and bolt a wing on your front wheel drive car. im sure you can also paint your vents, install a cool shift know and a couple stickers to gain horse power. heres what i know, how to take a 240 hp engine, strip it, build a nasty n/a race motor. i dont know cars? id love to see you try and tackle even a 1/8th of what ive done. buy a real car? coming from you? LOL easy keybord worrior!

  • kool video!!

  • love the sound of that car

  • You must have had to do some wire chopping to get that to work, unless it was a whole wire harness swap. I think I have read that people could use an OBD1 with the LX9. Why did you go to the trouble of installing OBD2?

  • @wtawhite i hand made the harness. and why? cause OBD2 is 100% fully tunable.

  • @wtawhite "It thinks it is a 1998 Montana Mini Van" but PCM is from a "2002 Olds Olero." I think both models used a 3.4l PCM, but why did you say mini van?

  • @wtawhite yes the PCM is from a 2002 olds alero 3400, its been flashed with a 98 montana 3400 tune. the reason for that is there was no passlock in pontiacs in 1998. putting the 02 alero pcm in with the 02 alero tune, it would not run because of the anti theft system. i should have explaned that in the vid. sorry.

  • Jay did you get the cam custom built? It seems hard to find a performance cam for a 3.5

  • @mmz77 yes

  • Can't wait till it's tuned....

  • really can't wait to see this tuned

  • Man, I love the work you do, but why did you put such a nice paint job on that car, if you knew the underside of it was rusted right out? Isn't it pretty expensive to paint a car?

  • Was the last acceleration run at WOT? Looks like about 8 seconds to 100km/h.  How much will this improve after the tune as it seems slow considering the work done?

  • @suzukiman650 not WOT, shifting when the power ban starts, and uphill. it was about 75-80% throttle.

  • @backyardjay Nice job then. It is good to see something different. I will stick with my STi but your Red Zed is pretty cool.

  • @suzukiman650 I stop watched it and it took about 6.8sec to 100KMH. Not bad at all for how it is now lol

  • Gonna be awesome when you can get rid of that rev limiter!

  • Awesome engine you have Jay!

  • Fuck ya that would walk all some ricer crap nice build cant wait to see in set up in the blue one

  • now thats an evielier

  • Fucking love your car jay. love how you take your time and do it right and you don't talk shit you know what your doing

  • perfect lil car to tow the redneckrickem by his neck on a noose around the ol farm like a dead nigger

  • Nice car Jay .I used to have a 94 Z-24 too,but living in vermont where I do the winters wernt too good on her. Had to put her out to pasture in 2006.Poor girl. I miss her.She was pretty well rotted.Had the 3.1 V6 in it which I modified with all the goodies too :- (

  • sounded like a turbo when you started it lol

  • Saw this on FB YAAAAAAA CHEERS & BEERS JAY

  • u need a turbo

  • starter sonds like a redneck trubo blow off valve!!

  • 300hp HAAWWWly fuck

  • sorry didn't notice the ending!!! hahaha

  • how much HP is that thing putting out roughly

  • @katpis It has the same HP as a Corvette... 350 @ the wheels lol

  • Thanks for the update Jay! Can't wait to see what that engine will do once it's been tuned. She sounds lethal! A ricers worst nightmare right there eh? Haha

  • that is one sweet little car jay, can't wait to see it tuned

  • I'm a mustang guy at heart.. but man that little cavi get's it! I love the idle. Your muffler setup sounds really good too. Come the new year I hope to see a video of the blue car at the track :)

  • ooh me likey!

  • your Cav videos just inspire me to keep working hard on my project s10 awesome vid man keep it up can't wait for more!!!

  • that thing is gunna be nasty fast

  • I Like it.=D

    

  • nice

  • Sweet!

  • that thing is slow my 98 silverado 1500 can smoke that it has 380 hp at the rear wheels an its naturaly aspirated

  • @MoreChevyHP really? cause your Dyno Torque said so? i had one of thoes once... i threw it out when it was telling me a tempo had 150 whp.. go to a REAL dyno, go to the track, GET PAPERWORK! cause what your doing right now is talkin shit, and RICERS talk shit. Have a nice day.

  • @backyardjay LMFAO he must be joking with you....but if he isn´t i bet my old purple Audi 80 turbo quattro would smoke his effin 98 Silverado without any probs at all bud.

    I mean goosh he doesn´t even have any video on that Silverado he´s talking about so nothing backs it up ehh

  • @backyardjay he's probably just reading it off the manual.

  • @MoreChevyHP Pics or it didn't happen.

  • @MoreChevyHP even if you had all that power its just guna spin it all away its a fucking truck there not built for fucking raceing there built for heavy pulling and offroad shit i bet you couldint even bet this car now without it being tuned you fail!

  • @MoreChevyHP 5.7L is a good motor but stock its only turning that at the fly wheel if that!

  • @MoreChevyHP chevy your a goof its all about power to weigh ratio and gearing. your truck is probably 4 times the weight of this car and around the same hp range

  • @MoreChevyHP bullshit it does chevy had no engine that made that much power then

  • @MoreChevyHP Thats nice your daddy put all that money in that truck for you. How about some dyno print outs to back up what you say, oh thats right you dont have any. Just anothere 19yr KID that cant put daddys money where his mouth is. Oh, and before you make up your mind to get cute with me. I had a 92 chev 2wd with a ZZ4 350 built that put out 368hp to the ground, I had to make mad mods to the rear end to get mine to get it to hook-up bud

  • @MoreChevyHP wow a 98 silverado with probably a 350 (5.7L) versus a cavalier with a 3.5 v6...honestly not that impressive, especially considering you seem to have no verifiable proof.obviously a v8 is going to create more power than a v6 that has a full 2 liters less displacement. if your going to talk shit at least be able to back it up.

  • thanks for the video

  • Shame it isn't a manual, or is it?

  • @FAB12UCB you couldnt tell? lol yes it is.

  • thumbs up for driving like its stolen before she fully warms up LOL!

  • @Hyatt88onaboat it doesnt warm up. thats has high as she goes.

  • @backyardjay nice job on the car, the cam sounds awesome... better to have a motor that runs cool than hot!

  • Dude...holy shit...

  • i hate those shitbox chevs but that things got lots of snot, i like it heh

  • i guess its fast?!

  • I thought you had put a cam in it? Awesome acceleration anyhow.

  • an elderly lady gave me a 1989 chevy cavalier Z24 , makes me wish i had kept it

  • Or a g6 gt model

  • time to "Initial D" that shit.. :D Epic anime btw, might want to take a look at it.. well, have fun with her, hell of a wiring job as well..

  • I belive that engine is out of a sv6 montana. It sounds ticky with your cam. but its worth it dude.

  • @TehMasteh its from a 2008 malibu

  • @backyardjay Does your 3500 have the variable valve timing?

  • @Drew99GT nope.

  • Very good Jay. Im at a standstill with my 97 3400 build. Til i buy another car. But i do have a engine fully assembled now. And a spare engine in parts. Just need to drop her in there. I wanna build the spare engine for a turbo or supercharger

  • Why don't you use that money and energy on something more deserving.Like a Mustang,Camaro,or even some kind of old Mopar you know something like that.Don't take this the wrong way.I enjoy your vids no matter what kind of vehicle your working on.But at the end of the day what do you really have?...A caviler!...A very nice caviler..But a caviler nonetheless...Thanks for sharing Jay.

  • @busterhound333333 why would i do that when this is what I like..? i dont give a flyin fuck what other people think. oh, and when a car that only has 1800.00 (includes cost of the car) worth of work done to it and it rapes a camero or a stang its epic, and its none the less, a cavalier...

  • @backyardjay...That's all fine and good that that's what you like...LIKE I SAID!..I liked your vids no matter what you were working on.Sorry that a suggestion made you respond like an idiot..Anytime you REALLY want to rape my stang for slips let me know.I might grab my camera and head north and film me taking your car from you..That would be epic..You think i could sell it for enough to pay for my trip + what i can make off the vid?..LOL..Thanks for sharing douche bag.

  • that shit will blow at 9000 RPM lol those 3.4 montana are garbage and rated at 170HP. My slow honda would beat it.How much you think you can do in a quarter mile?

  • Comment removed

  • @SoloDiablo1984 ya thats right remove your comment you fuckin faggot keep playing with you lasers...i got videos to backup my shit

  • @DC2slammed hey idiot, he switched the motor from a 3.1 to a 3.5 YEA THREE POINT FIVE, NOT FOUR He also put a big cam in it, the onlyn thing from a minivan on that car is the pcm

  • @DC2slammed dude its a montana tune numbnuts

  • @DC2slammed this engine is fully built all forged internals. yes it will handle 9k all day long. the engine is from a 08 malibu ss, then fully built by me. my old 3400 in this car was 100% stock unmodded. it ran 14.00 flat 1/4 mile. this ran 13.00 flat in september.

  • @backyardjay ok thats better i thought you said it had a montana engine lol how did you fit the manual transmission? she looks fast and good work but its youtube hope you understand some people go down a hill lol...definetly would like to see that 13 sec quarter mile cause these engines are rated 217 at the crank and on N/A its hard to reach 150 at the whells with your type of mods just sayin not hatin...

  • I like the red car better

  • Good to see good-real-car videos again. nice sound indeed ++++

  • Nice man never seen one so clean befor talk about the blue one how many kms dose it have

  • Thats a fast N/A cavi!!!!

  • thank you a normal vid

  • its super, and that was fast! ;) Waiting for the swaping! :)

  • Holy fuckshit that car hauls ass

  • thats a nice peppy engine, My da1 Interga Gsi revved was a little bit happyer to rev than that, but thats onyl because it was a 4, not a 6 like that haha

  • @bloodreighn once its tuned it will rev even better

  • I love those body style cavaliers better than all of this ugly new shit
