Faved this video cuz it was uploaded on my 20th birthday, which was 25 days after my first daughter was born. Just a question, i have a 93 2.2 cavalier. i want to swap my frnt coil overs with z24 ones, low pro tires and do an intake as well as a turbo. aside from the suspension, how much do you think i'd be looking at throwing into this for at least 13-14s. my brother in law will help me tune it. he thinks 7-8psi boost is sufficent.
IMHO, This is how the Cavalier should have been built in the first place. It would give the FWD import market a definite run for their money. Go beat on some Civics for me!
Great job taking something and building it the way it SHOULD have been!
crzzymnn911 your up shit creek if you want to buy a set of turbo manifolds. Nobody makes them for a LQ1 actually only 1 company makes N/A headers and they will only make a group buy no more single sets. Some shops can make you a set of turbo headers but you will pay for them. What alot of guys with LQ1's do is use 2 front manifolds for a turbo setup try looking into that
awd cars are slow from a roll everyone knows that... from a stop its a different story. Im not taking any credit from your work, cus u obviously did a good job.. Props on all the custom fab you did especially the turbo mani.
i envy this car. now i dont mean to put down the cars that cost hundreds of thousands. but thats all u need rite there. kids and there honda's better watch out.
nice car, nice setup, love my 3800, and no they sound great specially compared to that, and 14's, seriously, lmao, dont u have 350 ish horse, cant hate the car, it is what it is, but a 3.8 is sooo much betterrr
There are a lot of 3800s with good results... however you can't compare a turbo 3400 CAVALIER running 6psi to a w-body car with a 3800... w-body cars are much heavier. Dyno numbers is where you want to compare them, not what they run in the 1/4 mile at 6 psi
who cares. wbody's suck ass. 3800's suck ass compared to 3400's. and before you call me out, i used to have a z24 too, i'm not some moron who doesn't know what he's talking about. I went and bought an rx7 anyways, got a real car :P but i would love to get another z and build it like this one, no 3800 bullshit
not sure if anybody has done there homework but 3400's are 150lbs lighter, make the same horsepower as 3800's, and the heads/intakes flow so much better stock than ported 3800 units. i did my homework. besides, my stroked/bored 3400/3500 hybrid this year will make 650 whp. 650 whp in a 2300lb car is sick nasty, i dont care what car its in. besides how many of these older Z's do u see on the road that are actually FAST? i could count them on my hands.
and that is sweet. I was mearly pointing out to dirksz24 that imo both are great motors. I also agree that the 3800 heads are stuffy and flow shitty but that didnt stop zzp from getting into the 8s soo you cant really say the 3800 is shit...
Hey man. You're car was the only reason I use to visit v6z24 regularly. I stopped going when I saw you we're no longer an active member. I'm assuming it's because of the BS with sixshooter...that asshole lol. I guess he didn't notice that you had the best car on that whole site and i'm not doubting the site lost A LOT of popularity due to your absence. But anyway hows the car goin? Havn't caught any word about it recently.
3800 is a heavy all iron engine. the 3400 is a lighter and much more efficient engine, and responds much better to boost than a 3800. plus 3800s just sound like shit..
Not to be disagreeable cause your car is sweet but the 3800 and the 3400 are made of the same stuff - iron block / alu heads. and theres no way it responds better to boost than a 8.5:1 3800. The 3400 and 3800 sound very similar. I can't think of any way the 3400 is more efficient but in any case, yours is more powerful than most 3800s on the road regardless and I give you mad kudos
well, considering the 3400 with 9.5:1 with boost is alot more peppy lol. the heads flow so much better, plus 3800s are all iron, no aluminum heads. 3800's are externally balanced, 90 degree v6, which isnt very smooth at all.. i made 358 on 9psi with headwork, a 3800 supercharged makes 260 on 10 10lbs or so.. 3400 was a better choice in my opinion
You're right about the iron heads. I don't know where my mind was at there. 358 with a high natural compression and a turbine is way different than low compression and a roots blower. There is no comparison. If you turbo the 3800 and do the same kind of head work, you'll be doing well beyond 400 without high compression on the same boost plus you can actually run over 10psi without blowin stuff after a while. What else do you have done to the motor / trans? Did you program it yourself? JC
I like all the busted parts. That's the one thing I dont like about cavaliers. They were built as econo cars, and so some of the parts are just not built to take your kind of HP. But fuckin awesome car, all the same
I know some one with a 01 cavalier with a 3400 turbo. 300 hp, and 415 ft/lbs of torque. Megasquirt, 5 speed. Insanely fast. No traction with street slicks on the track until half way through 4th gear. On the street its even worse.
are you some kind of sick fucking evil genius??? i have a soft spot for the engines from 2.8 all the way up to 3.9 or whatever they are now.. did you have problems with the intakes gasket? so you have a breakdown of what you used
sick ass shit bro. i used to have an 89 Z, i miss that car like crazy, crashed it and had a 98 Cav for a while, now i'm rolling in a 1990 RX7, mildy modified... i still wanna go back to the Z someday and cars like this are my inspiration... although i'm planning to run a rmt setup more like 89jyturbo's...
thanks guys, ive only got about 3500 into it INCLUDING the car lol. its a blast to drive. but i recently sold that turbo kit and the engine is out going full forged running 20+ psi...
Very nice! I`m thinking of doing the 3400 Turbo swap to my 92 Beretta GTZ Quad 4. Is your Cavalier manual or automatic? I`d really love to go manual but I doubt that the Getrag tranny in my Beretta will be capable of managing so much torque.
Yeah that's my boy's z!!!! You see it, stay away....he'll blow your doors!!!!! The meanest cavy I have ever seen in my life!!!! Good job midnight!!!!!
Sup man, I use to be a v6z24 member but I got banned from there by Sixshooter for some ungodly reason I don't even remember. But yea I still go to the site all the time to check the progress on your car. Gotta say thats the coolest Cavalier ever modded. Keep up the good work man. Hope to see some more vids of it, Possibly some vids at the track this year? Later
im in v6z24 too my name is jakeman i havnt did much to the car ye but i have big plans lookin for either a 3800 or a 3400 gettin it painted soon could be good
i have a '88 beretta that i swapped out the 2.8 for the 3400, looking for another 3.4 though. i had the same axle problem as you shit sux. so upgrading to the 3500 UIM did you notice too much difference? and did you go with the bigger T/B with that as well? hut me up sometime...nice job
