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!!

[backyardjay]

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

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

[backyardjay]

@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.

[Mryekim12]

@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.

[backyardjay]

@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.

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.

[sickwititty]

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

[ad356]

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

[ad356]

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

[ad356]

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

[TheDataZoo]

Drive the HONDA ;)?

[Tron1731]

3.8 twin turbo

[corvette201932]

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

[Mryekim12]

@backyardjay thansk jay



[BlazerLT]

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