id really try to stay away from $43 ebay turbos. just wait and look around for someone sellin cheap. i found a t3 turbo, manifold, oil kit, and wastegate for $520 all brand new. and im lookin to get around the same hp 250-300. an intercooler that ive been watchin is 26x6x3 core. thats really all you will need. somethin as big as ur talkin may require some serious fabrication
streetracing is like bangin a fat chick while drunk. everyone does it, but you shouldnt post a video of it online.

Cool, Good Info. BTW: I'm always up for a fabrication challenge.HeHe. I'm a certified welder so I can pretty much weld and make anything.LOL

I used to make prototype Semi Trailors for the SEMA show when i worked at MAC Trailor, and i was still in High School when i was doing this.

Well 250hp is within reach but you'll need serious internal mods to make even 300hp on an old school 2.2 motor. I've doen the research before trust your better off to swap in an ecotec and then later on turbo that that pushrod shit don't owrk to good on four bangers you know.

AGAIN in my previous posts on here i have said i am swapping the 2.4 LD9 in it and then doing the 2.3 head swap and the 2.3 Cam swap, and the 2.3 oil pump swap, then turbocharging it.

why not go ecotec.. there way easier to work on,have more potential, and have way more support modification wise theres even a book :D . also.. dont forget about the transmission and tunability.. unless you got a 2000+ computer in that after the ld9 swap your going to have to bs the computer into reading boost and hope it works. and from what i know somewhere around 300hp is all that the transmission can hold really.even 250 scares me.. thats mainly why i gave up on my cav. but with the eco i think with some modification you can mount up a cadillac cts tranny i think the 4t60e-4t80e or something like that.



but if you want the ld9 ill sell you my cav $3000

I'd love to go ECO but it costs a lot more to work on. As for the 2.4 I already have one. Its a GM crate motor with about 70,000 on it but the person who had it before me threw a rod, so I'm rebuilding it and changing some thing along the way.


Also sorry I'm not interested in your Cav. and I'm not trying to be mean here but your not going to get $3,000 out of it, cause i see many different cavs in this area for sale and they only want 2k and they haven't sold yet. they've been for sale for about 8 months now.LOL

The tranny should be too much of a hassle, cause my friend Matt Gorman with the black 04 boosted cav he is having all kinds of tranny problems and he works for Big 3 Racing in Brunswick and he's fixed and replaced that thing so many times.LOL but then again I think he's pushing almost 400 with his setup so that could also be an issue.
