Any advice you could give me, I got a 01 Cav and I'm looking for an engine to swap my stock out with. Looking for a bit more power but nothing to costly ?
sum 1 let me take 20k to put in a cavi and i will have it n e where close 2 680whp and yes it may be a cavi but it would make more people interested to see a 700hp cavi compared to having a 700hp camaro. U can put a few bolt ons on a camaro and be close to 700hp but no one would give a shit cause it had like 385hp stock. It takes time money and skill to get a 140hp engine stock to be over 400hp.
Did you know the Ecotec Motor in the Cavalier can take up to 450 HP on stock crank and all that?
From factory, not fast. Compared to muscle cars, not fast. But they're not bad. An Ecotec Cavy just on a little spray a lone can run low 13's. At least they put these imports to shame.
But I'd much rather just get a Mustang or Camaro and still be hanging with a cavy who is spraying while I'm stock. But the cavy is not THAT bad. People just don't give them a chance.
Point taken. I just don't see the advantage in investing a lot of money into a slow car. With the same effort, a camaro for example could be twice that of a cavalier with say 20k in work
No doubt at all. I have a Cavalier actually and the reason I don't go and put work in it is because I know after all the money I put into it, it will only be so fast period. While I could do A LOT less work on a Camaro or Mustang and be able to own it. I agree with you.
I'm just stating that the Ecotec motor in the Cavalier is actually a pretty good little motor and people would be surprised at how much spray they can take. A cavy is a pretty good little sleeper car.
@KrosziZ Because you have to look at it like this, Different people have different taste in cars, Not every one wants to drive a mustang or a camaro, Theres tons of cars out there, Just like there are people who laugh at people for buying camaros and mustangs.
i just got an 02' cavalier z24 2.2l ecotec, but i only turn 16 in 6 days so haven't driven it yet and i was wondering approximately how fast they will go
How is my statement IRRELEVANT? (Spell much?) Anyone who claims a cavalier is a fast sports car either has not been around many automobiles, or is a fucking retard. You fan boys kill me. Please post a link to these highly prestigious automotive reviews.
yea lol...ecotec has its own unique hum imo......Something to get used to, rather then the honda purr.......PLUS, on the ss/tc cobalt, you get great power, handling, AND mileage......
I am still kicking myself as to why they(gm) won't run turbos on a lot of their stuff like ford is about to do....I guess they feel the ss package needs to stay unique
Factory turboing a car is difficult at best. There are many variables such as assholes who don't keep up with regular service intervals, which then means killed turbos, which then means expensive replacements, which then means angry customers, which then means loss of sales.
I do like factory turbo cars, though. Much less to worry about when modding. :P
@poobooger hey have you tryed it yet i did on a primerd dark gray 2000 sunfire gt convertible i felt like the boss on the roads because i was the first to do it and i have proof but some dumb ass wreaked my car ) : is was a sad day me) ..:
Because its a fucking cavalier. It was GMs bottom of the line shit box. Its as bad as all these fucks modifying civics like they are sports cars. Some cars just shouldnt be modified. A cavalier is one of them.
well gm may not have spent as much time with the cavailer and sunfires as thay did with the bonneville,grandprix,and corrvette im not going to say the camaro,trans am grand am, and such because there as much as juck as the cavailer and sunfire but the engine isn't junk and that you can't argue with. (ecotec 2.2l & 2.4ltwin cam)
Ecotecs have good potential, and just stock they have good pep to them for a 4 banger. More torque than hp on a stock Ecotec 2.2, gotta like that. (140hp/150lbs tq) With a stage 1 cam, CAI, full exhaust w/header and HP tuners, these can belt out nearly 170hp. With the GM supercharger kit and max bolt ons, around 230hp. A total performance head build with rods, pistons max bolt ons and turbo can get 400hp. GM got 1200 out of their Ecotec, but they have deep pockets, or at least they 'did'.
Cavaliers suck dick. These are quotes from reviews: Overall reliability hasnt proven to be so hot either, at least not according to Consumer Reports magazine. The Cavalier and Sunfire are far from the best used cars available and many drivers look down on them.
wow you come on all Cavalier vids and post the same bullshit, grow up, you give us Mustang guys a bad name, oh and last time I checked you had a Civic. Wow thats no better
@GMCMan29 lmao you dumbass every cheapo in america gets a Mustang because they can afford it! If I was gonna take that much money and buy a car I'd get a sports car like a corvette, you see shitstangs literaly EVERYWHERE

Just to Note:
F-Body: 3600lb, 300whp = 12 to 1 hp-weight
GTO: 3800lb, 330 whp = 11 to 1 hp-weight
Cavalier: 2700lb, 161whp = 16 to 1 hp-weight
Now I rounded up on the F-body and GTO weights and down on the Cavalier as well. Also mind that those are Stock dyno numbers for the F-body and GTO.
Not Dissing on the Cavalier just making a point here.
Very nice work. I've always respected the tuner crowd. Don't understand it one bit, but big numbers from small motors is something to think about...
