Turbo Cavalier 2.2

[CavDaily247]

ight i got a question for u, i got a 2001 cavi 2.2 its a work in progress but i gotta make room under the hood n move my dipstick n radiator hosing how the fuck did u manage ur way around that shit

[sensei645]

after driving it with the turbo installed, do you think that it was worth the cash? i'm seriously considering a turbo for mine. i just need some input from someone who has done it.

[jdmazn1]

Nice cavy bro

[yfz450rider39]

Why would you do that to a cavvy! terrible

[BenjiXbass]

what BOV are you using?

[yamaharacer138]

i just basically had an orgasm... i have my cavalier in the shop right now gettin rebuilt with turbo runin about 7 psi its gonna be sick! but cool video man

[motorhead45102]

If anyone Cares my cavalier now has 332,000 miles and its still truckn on down the road.

[gtett]

@motorhead45102 thats very impressive. is it the single cam? =]

[motorhead45102]

@gtett yeah its the 2.2 OHV single cam pushrod engine and now has 337,000 i drive alot

[laydoutD21]

yea man.. might wanna get that knocking checked out.. dont sound good, everything else sounds good though

[Jrawseome86]

Any one know where i can get a turbo manifold

[dragonart777]

@Jrawseome86 i got mine off ebay last week it was 98$ they have alote of thim on there i could not find one nowhere els fit right on the 2.2L i had to run the battery to the trunk and cut the metal battery case off to run the turbo to the side custem fit but it worth it

[417coty]

i have a 99 and i hate it its only a 3 speed and its SLOW check my video and talk shit about it

[chris12123212]

Anybody else hear that knock?

[p4286arc]

@chris12123212 It's from the forged internals. Obviously you have never heard a built motor start up in cold weather.

[IvanAmerson760]

anyone ever thought of taking one of those oldsmobile aurora V8s and sticking them in a Jbody? probably wont fit without massive mods but would be really cool.

[yanstl1]

AWESOME dude

[dirtrider955]

how much is a turbo kit? i have 99 cavy base model 5 speed

[417coty]

@dirtrider955  ebay suuuuper cheap

[ppmguire]

For the money you spend on a turbo kit for these things you can probably find a car on Craigs that has more HP stock for the same amount of cash. I own one myself and have thought about it, but i think the most i will do is fix my exhaust flex pipe and replace the shitty stock brakes with something my gf cant burn off on the highway.

[jorge250492]

Can You Tell Me Where Did You Buy All The Stuff, I Have a 2002 STD Cavalier.

[silver01TACOMA]

sweet ride man! Do you have a catch can? I'm wondering how to install one on the 2.2. Thanks dude.

[battenjoe]

About how much money did you have to shell out for that turbo kit? And i'm assuming you put it on yourself so you wouldnt have an idea about how much someone would charge to put it on...?

[kingoskingsboss187]

I just did a swap on my z24 to a 2.2 ecotec, put on a stage 4 turbo at 20psi, stage 3 bully clutch, after market rods pictons and rings, as well as took the governor out and gunna strap on a full cat back! nice video tho man, im gunna get mine on here once shes all put back together!

[machinegum]

nice men

[kriegdouch]

the 2.4s are a bitch to work on. wish they coulda put the water pump someplace else

[AyakoRacing]

You know, I always wondered. Does anyone know the manufacture and model of the blow-off valve in this Cavalier?

[prostocker88]

what has been done to the 2.2L because I bought the JDM turbo kit to see what it'll do to a complete stock engine or should I do what you have done?

[AyakoRacing]

My Cavalier would like to disagree with you, my good sir.

[zac41189]

idk i've just seen a grip of cav's that were only 5 or 6 years old with HG's or tranny's or something major that needed replacing. i'm sure if you never abused it and drove it like a grandpa a cavi would last a decent amount of time.

[travis124534]

would take alot of work to get that motor to hold 20psi in the first place.

[zac41189]

that's what i'm saying. maybe if you tore out every bit of the stock internals and replaced them with high performance internals it might work. but then you still got the block to worry about. and tranny. etc.

[KcImport32]

@zac41189 the ecotec block is good up to 900hp.. i know this cuz my brother went to UTI, and the tranny would be ok but it would be smart to replace it, and the crank is good up to 450hp

[alscort93]

a 2.2, are you kidding, tell that to all the S10's, S15's, Cav's and Sunfires out there with over 300,000 miles on them.

[motorhead45102]

@alscort93

my cavy 2.2 has 312,220 miles on it!!!!!

[alscort93]

@motorhead, I was saying the 2.2 is a good motor.

[motorhead45102]

@alscort93 I KNOW I was just sayijng how many i have

[ganja4twee]

@motorhead45102 mines got 188000

[the1whoB34T5]

@motorhead45102 Your Only Beatin Me By Almost 100K :P

[BlairGray0410]

I dont know how reliable the 2.2OHV is, but my 2.4 is the most reliable thing I have ever driven.

[initiald1245]

Awesome cavi man! I need to ask you something though, I've been looking for forged pistons for my cavi and somethings for the valve train such as rockers lifters valve springs etc. Where did you find all this stuff? Again very nice cavi

[nitrocrazy13]

sick as fuck message me how much the hole overal total was plez i have some ????????

[ryanwll]

sounds sick man i have a 97 cav 2.2 how much in the end did the turbo kit cost and what do you have to do to the motor so she done blow

[IceyWhiteGhost]

bra that is tight as fuck.. where did you get the  kit from.. or did you build it.. if so what you use??

[spikekilla117]

u can get a T3/T4 turbo on ebay for under a G but if u wanna good turbo like a GREDDY kit it'll cost bout 3G's

[2008mchs]

i have an 02 2.2 cavy how much am i lookin at 2 get it boosted. . . please let me kno thanks

[yanney33]

to have someone else do it, a couple thousand.

[kurtbuschfan]

awesome man 5*s great car

[JoshxAcoustic]

I own a 1999 Cavy and I am planning on dropping a 350 small block in it sideways. The engine has 500 horse right out of crate. Then I plan on putting either a twin turbo charger or a super charger on it. Then headers, true quad exhaust. I'm going to put as much carbon fiber on it as I can remove all unnecessary weight put racing seats in it and convert it to rear wheel drive. I figure it will be between 750 & 800 horse

[p4286arc]

FLAME sorry dude, only an extremely built 350 will put out 500 hp. Then putting it in sideways ..... good luck, the 3800 GTP motor barley fits sideways in that engine bay and it wont bolt up to the stock tranny with out a converter plate. If you want it to be rear wheel drive, you will need to move the firewall back a lot, and make the hump underkneath the dash much bigger to accomodate for the RWD tranny bellhousing. That frame cant handle that much HP anyways. TRY AGAIN

[JoshxAcoustic]

Thats where your wrong... all I have to do is extend the frame... and yes you are right the 350 is extremely built... and if properly supported the frame can handle it because it will be RWD I won't run the risk of ripping the front end off... TRY AGAIN!

[Ricozero]

might as well just build it into a drag car you are going to need to custom build a tube chassis the unibody wont support that kind of weight

[meesho720]

Why would you drop a 350 in sideways if it were going to be a RWD? Why would you bother converting a cavalier to be RWD? If you really want to build a cavalier then go with the 3800 or just stick with the 2.2 or 2.4 it came with. Believe it or not, both engines have huge potential. If you still want RWD then just buy another car because I assure you the plan you have in mind will be just be a complete disaster and/or a huge investment.

[jmunroe007]

Actually. Sunfires/Cavaliers do have potential, your right. But im with JoshxAcoustic with the RWD idea. that would be awesome. their a fairly light car, and i doubt theirs bein a rwd built. But it wouldnt be too costy, you could always go down to your local scrap yard and pick up a small 2wd 4 banger pickup, like a 80's-90's mazda or nissan, and do a body swap.

[Ricozero]

its more work then you think doing that body swap also the rear suspension has to be swapped a car with leaf springs come on its been done before but its more work then you think

[BrealZ24]

But youll have so much torque crossmember welds would snap, the frame would twist and there would be so much body flex the doors trunk and hood would never close the same. Why do all that work anyways?

[Ricozero]

if you keep the car a 4 cylinder rwd chassis wont twist bend or break

[slamz13]

@p4286arc yea hes right way to fail at knowing the engine you want to drip in your car lmao a stock ls1 ls2 ls3 and ls6 dont even have 500 hp and carbon fiber doesnt add hp by the way

[hondarincon27]

@p4286arc hey could u sendme somepics fur car im lookin to throw a turbo iny sunfire with the 2.2

[kingusjordanus]

@JoshxAcoustic dude youre dumb if you do that, i also own a 99 cavy, and it takes down 5 speed 305 camaros like nothin, youre gonna torque the frame if you drop an engine like that into it, and you will have just wasted 7-8 thousand dollars.

[mysticalmagick]

@JoshxAcoustic You need to do A LOT more research before you just start rambling. Like the other guys said the frame won't hold that much power, nor will the suspension, fuel,body. You can just throw a ton of power in a car w/o reinforcing or upgrading other things.

[JayAquarius88]

@JoshxAcoustic Ur a fuckin retard.

[417coty]

@JoshxAcoustic keep dreamin

[JoshxAcoustic]

@417coty hey numb nuts do you not see that post is over 2 years old... I no longer have the car I wrecked it.

[harleyman2226420]

@JoshxAcoustic is full of shit

[danjones2009]

nice looking cavy, but i wouldnt have wasted money on the 2.2 ohv you should have swaped for 2.4 or eco, cause its just a really bad weak engine and lacks alot of power

[chevyz7109]

How much horse power do have with the turbo? and how much are you pushing?

[p4286arc]

since then it is in a complete new rebuild involving everything, so by spring i will have a new video and hopefully a dyno result!

that video was 4 psi and no tune.

im looking for 20 psi and meth hoping for around 325-375hp

I also have a brand new turbo cam hanging out if your interested, its for the 2200!

[AnthonyMerriman]

How much would u want for the turbo cam?

[hondarincon27]

@p4286arc u still hav that cam ?? if not where can i get one? its for my 2.2

[dustycavalier]

honda sucks!!!!! my 2200sfi ohv beats vtec shit all day...i live in orlando and if you have a honda and you need your ass handed to you let me jnow??!!??

[dustycavalier]

we can go to the track???

[DeathTripp666]

cavalier Max horsepower @ rpm 140 @ 5600,

Max torque @ rpm 150 @ 4000

Honda Civic Max horsepower @ rpm127 @ 6300

Max torque @ rpm 114 @ 4800

the primary reason honda is more preferred for tuning is cause it has a sleeker look both inside and out were the cavalier isn't as nice looking on the inside and out and i am talking all stock both chevy and honda in the right hands can both be a power full car but both will require alot of work

[redneckmikey69]

your right, but i think cavaliers are better looking than hondas..

[DeathTripp666]

same but i am not a fan of the bubble look on cars so i own a 1992 cavalier convertible so i am getting ready to put a vader body kit on it this summer

[mustangmikeca]

My 2008 Civic can beat your piece of shit

[CREAMFILLEDANISH85]

my 2.2 can beat the shit out of v tec crap all dat long!!!!!hondaaaaaassss suck balls!!! at least bring a tc or somthing with a little more balls then a honda!!! a honda? hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahah!!!!!!!!!

[mustangmikeca]

How does a crapotec 2.2 beat a more advanced VTEC engine cocksucker

[JKennedy1612]

Yeah and an 03' Z06 will smoke you pussy fucking Civic. Your a fag.

[mustangmikeca]

Oh wow 405HP from a 5.7L that's only 71HP/L the Civic Si is 99 and the Corvette is a V8 dumbass of course it would beat the Civic

[Pro60modman]

Despite the apparently low 71hp per liter it still has something that civic will never have, torque. Also hp/liter is a retarded measure of power. Its lbs per horsepower that really matters. 03 Z06=8lbs per 1hp, 03 Civic si=17lbs per 1hp. Also the room for improvement on the stock ls1 v the stock k20a3 is in favor of the ls1 by hundreds of hp. Now tell me which is the better designed engine? Dont play the "its just a 4 cyl" card either because look at what those 2.0l mitsu enignes can do...

[CREAMFILLEDANISH85]

thats not an eco but an ecotec can put down 1200 hp on stock insides look it up! this car is a 2200 sfi ohv and it can put down 500 hp on stock crank but only about 350 on stock top end....v tec sucks and thats a fact.....id like to see you take a v tec and run 1200 hp on stock guts??? that shit will never happen!!!ecotecs have the 4 banger record for drag race anyway look it up!!!google the shit out of anything i have just sead....!!!!...

[Pro60modman]

Thats a load of bs. 1200hp on a stock ecotec engine? Ecotec's in cavaliers can handle up to 270-280hp before shit needs to be changed. The 1000hp GM Ecotec had completely custom internals. At 280hp you can say bye bye to the rods and pistons, then at 500hp the crank goes south. The block can hold around 1000hp but to get to that point the insides are no where near stock.

[elmelllo]

you are out of your fucking mind if you think any 4 banger can hold 1200hp on stock internals. You can't be trusting anything on the internet because anybody can post shit on the internet, you have to look for reliable information. You don't even know how to spell, you think anybody is going to believe you? And for the record, vtec does not suck, there is plenty of 11 sec vtec daily drivers out there, but you never see that from an ecotec.

[99cavy99]

what kind...and size of turbo the one that u have on this car???

[AbOy927]

so ur kit is pieced up how did u do it im interested??????

[p4286arc]

just buy everything seperatly. I made my manifold out of stainless, and custom downpipe and exhaust!

I make many things for the cavalier and sunfire. Suspension parts as well ..... rear tie bars and front k members.

[Motorcycles7]

anyone know where to find a turbo kit for an automatic 2001 cavalier? its almost impossible to find

[p4286arc]

make one ..... this isnt a kit, its all pieced together? kits are bad! you dont get all the stuff you want or need!

[p4286arc]

in the video mine is automatic, but its getting swapped for a manual soon!

[AbOy927]

how much did it come out to wen u bought ur parts an wat will i need???

but yea man if u can call me an tell me wat i need or just write it to me it would help alot bro!! but my cell is 915 694 8184

[cavabenzo]

Fuk them muthafukaz,shit is real crisp when ya let off, blowoff is nice n loud , good work

[rcflem]

lol, why are you typing like that, cavabenzo? you're fucking canadian.

[03srt400hp]

bleaksavage z24 have a 2.4 liter in them

[rcflem]

The Z24 featured a 2.8, a 2.3, a 2.4, and a 3.1 in different model years, FYI.

[BleakSavage]

yes, the 3rd gen does, they also came with a 2.3L quad 4 in '95 only. like i said, the 2nd gen cavaliers came with v6's

[BleakSavage]

btw. for all you haters....a FULLY STOCK 2.2ohv Or 2200 can handle 6-8 #'s easily before engine damage develops. and i have personally seen some serious numbers come out of these cars. i own 3. let alone however many that are putting down the same numbers in j-bom (j-body of michigan), and yes, with the right configuration, 2 big valves will kill 4 smaller ones. get educated on the subject before you try being a professional. n00b.

[ozzzzy81]

hey im from st louis in got a 2001 ive done some stuff to it! i was wandering where you got the rockers and other engine internals cause i want to do the same but maybe nitrous instead of turbo! please let me know if you can steve

[maplelaffs]

what a waste you will be seeing your rods very soon

[p4286arc]

yeah, im so waiting to throw a rod on a completly bulit motor, maybe you will be behind me when my eagly h-beam rod blows out, impails, and destroys your completly aluminum d16.

[seamless4]

nice sony explode deck faggot you dont have to worry about that shitty deck explode any speakers but you might explode your engine you ass napkin.

[seamless4]

2 valves per cylinder that engine is a joke buddy invest money in a car worth while a d16 would put out more power.

[phano12]

2 big valves is the best. 4 valves per cylinder this is stupide

[maplelaffs]

d16 put out more stock than that piece of shit turbod he will get a couple runs before he pukes a rod

[seamless4]

a ha 20 psi that push rod engine couldnt handle that you faggot

[p4286arc]

Ha you faggot, you dont know what it can handle. 20 psi isnt anything for a fully built engine. The valve train is fully built and everything else, wait why am I wasting my time on you ..... bye hater!

[davison1021]

i got a z24 but it aint got a 3.1 it has a 2.2 wtf i might try a turbo for fun till the swap

[BleakSavage]

If You Have A 2nd Gen. Z24, You Do Not Have The 2.2. They Only Came With V6's. If It Is A 3rd Gen. It Is Slightly Possible. I Believe Some Came With The Eco, Not Positive Though. If Not, You Have A Fake Z24 On Your Hands.

[davison1021]

lol dude i switched out the 3.1 fi for a 2.2 lol only cause i did not have the time to rebuild3.1 but neways got me a sentra

[LoveMyZJ]

Is that the OHV 2.2 or the DOHC Ecotech 2.2? I've got a '97 with the OHV 2.2 and wouldn't mind having it sound like that.

[p4286arc]

Its actually the 2200, which is very similar to the 2.2, but not identical. This is still a ongoing project but it will be crazy when its done. Over this winter im doing a complete engine overhaul, the only stock piece left will be the block.

[balmung892003]

ur out of ur god damn mind if you think the 2200 POS is anything alike to the 2.2 ecotec, the 2200 engine was a failure, when GM redesigned the engine for the cavalier to be used in the newer models, they didnt take anythin from the 2200 when building the 2.2 ecotec l61...

[FriedGames]

When he was refering to the 2.2 it wasn't the Ecotec. He was comparing the 2200 to thee 2.2 OHV engine. I have seen ppl run good amount of boost in those two engines (2.2OHV and 2200)

[davison1021]

not a failure an economique engine idiot and the head was the failure cause the ecotec just switched heads

[skangel10]

Nice sound man, I will do the same to my cavalier, got the same motor, but I don't really know whats the potential, you try it on the dyno jet? I want to break the 300 hp barrier too, what turbo you got? how much boost?

[p4286arc]

I have a 16g, and Im going to push 18-20 psi, but the motor is fully built! The only stock thing in it is the block. The 2200. 2.2 and 2.4 have very good potential, but they are very expensive.

[skangel10]

Yeah I guess, I just spend like 1300 only in internals and stuff, but I don{t really know where to buy a turbo at a good price, I think im gonna buy piece by piece, but I don't know, for now I only got like 1500 more or less, so I will like to have some advice in where to buy and stuff...

[boostedcavi97]

did you have your pcm reconfigured? if so where did you get it done?

[p4286arc]

I dont have it done yet, but when I do im going to CRT Performance in Norwalk OH. They will use HP Tuners to flash the computer.

[99cavy99]

Nice car and turbo sounds great.

[boostedcavi97]

I want to push around 10psi. you think i would need to do anything to the head? And what cam do you have?

[p4286arc]

No you dont have to, but I would recommend it! In the video the cam was stock but im getting a JBP turbo cam. If you want to push 10 psi, I would get the eagle rods and wiseco pistons like I have. Im rebuilding it as we speak with a P&P head, turbo cam, lightened crank, dual valve spring, high rev lifters, chrome moly pushrods, 10 degree retainers, 1.6 roller rockers, and some more stuff. Should be done next summer!!!!!

[p4286arc]

I dont have an insert, its just the regular hks ssqv

[boostedcavi97]

What insert do you have in your bov?

[GarkBrothers]

yo what psi are you running in that? and how much do one of them go for?

[p4286arc]

During the video it was hitting about 4, but when its done and fully tuned, it will be around 18-20, so far I have put over 7500 into the engine, and I just recently pulled it out, to add some more parts!

[robotsandtrash]

sounds clean bro

[anthonyhunter22]

what kind of turbo kit i that, i have a jdm yet to be put in, with my car being automatic you think i could still get over 250hp?

[p4286arc]

Its not a kit, its pieced together. Mine is an automatic and im looking to push 320 with methanol.

[Chevyguy2003]

Sounds quick

How much hp?

[p4286arc]

I havent been on the dyno yet, but in two weeks I will know, Im guessing between 280-320, Im really hoping to break 300, and if I don't, Im going to do more mods till I do, but I think 20 psi and methanol should do it!

[shadowspiyre99]

that seamless douchebag prolly drives a civic, what a cock nice job buddy

[seamless4]

get a real car faggot

[robotsandtrash]

go suck a dick

[april0580]

Sounds real good and love the blow off valve bro!

[davison1021]

moteur clack

[turbocavi13]

Hey man sounds good... i have a 2.4L turbo cavalier at 11psi for now... i was wondering what kind of blow off valve that was? cause mine shit the bed so i need a new one and yours sounds pretty good...

[p4286arc]

it is an hks ssqv ..... thanks

[danpro62]

Sounds nice bro. Im building a custom turbo for my 02 2.2l ovh cavy. Stock pistons ? wont that pressure fry your pistons ?. I dont plan i running to much psi about 7. will i be ok with stock pistons ? Nice set up though sounds really good.

[macgolfracer]

sounds nice man

[p4286arc]

7 will be fine on stock internals. However I dont have them, I got wiseco pisons and eagle rods!

Thanks

[skate4lyfe519]

from tonawanda NY

[skate4lyfe519]

yo are u from new york kuz i think i seen ur car around and it sounds the exact same

[cavalierkid98]

How much horses are you pushing right now?

[p4286arc]

Im not tuned yet but im guessing around 320hp when its done!

[cavracing2001]

nice dude, make sure to keep us updated lol.

[cavracing2001]

that sounds like a mean bastard, is this the 2.2 OHV or the eco? looks like the OHV but just makin sure.

[p4286arc]

its a fully built 2.2 ohv ..... thanks

[guitars415]

sorry for all of the same posts... my computer was acting up.

[redline340dk]

hey awesome sound man. i just got the t3/t4 for my 99 cavalier 2.2. Is there another way to contact u about this manifold u can make?

[guitars415]

stock position if I am not mistaken. I had to bend mine to get my turbo in. How did you manage to install your turbo without moving your dipstick?

By the way it sounds real good!... I love your BOV!

[p4286arc]

I made my own manifold out of stainless and I didnt think about my dipstick being in the way, but when I installed it, it cleared everything! I do make the manifold for $400 so if you know anyone interested, let me know! Thanks for watching!

[guitars415]

stock position if I am not mistaken. I had to bend mine to get my turbo in. How did you manage to install your turbo without moving your dipstick?

By the way it sounds real good!... I love your BOV!

[guitars415]

I see that your oil dipstick is still in the stock position, if I am not mistaken. I had to bend mine to install my turbo. What did you do, how did you manage to put your turbo in with out moving the dipstick?

By the way it sounds real good... I love your BOV!

[kenron81]

i have the same car where did you get your parts and did you have to get a custom down pipe made

[p4286arc]

I made my own manifold and downpipe. I work at a machine shop, so it was easy for me to do it!

[93foxGT]

nice ! my cav should be like that soon

[leerace53080]

Hey man I have the same car, and i am running 5 psi on my setup, and I can't get my blow off to be that loud. What kind of blow off do you have, or what did you do to make it that loud?

[p4286arc]

i am using an hks ssqv, and i was just brake torquing it in my garage, nothing special, i am running a 16g, what kinda turbo you got?

[leerace53080]

Hey, I guess I am gonna have to get that same blow off. I am looking for a new one anyway. I have a t3/t4 turbo.

[greencavy]

Nice job buddy!!..i would like me little 2.2 to sound like that...i cant decide if i go whit a 2.2 turbo or a V6!
