There have been a few 2.4 ld9's that have mounted the turbo behind the headlight, I believe they used a scavenger pump to get the oil returning ok. As long as its designed ok and as equal as possible youll be cool. Maybe run a twin scroll housing if your worried about more lag.

Post pics of your setup Is it LO or HO?

they came stock 3.1 turbo...its not a pain in the ***. fuel lines dont need to be rerouted just sounds like hes not very informed


and he has a quad 4 POS. lol not v6

They never made a turbo beretta. Grand am's, sunbirds, and a few others but never berettas.

How is the quad 4 a pos? The LGO was one of the best n/a 4cyls made during the early 90's of all makes, have you ever even hear of a W41?? I know this is mostly a honda board but you guys need to do your research before ---- talking certain cars and saying motors came in vehicles they actualy didnt.

i'm a dsm guy but i've owned a bunch of cars. its the same ------- piece of ---- that came in cavaliers, Lumina's etc. and no, one of the best 4cyl's made was the d and b series honda,and the dsm 4g63,dodge 2.2 and 2.5,vw 1.8,porsche 2.0,ford 2.3h. Those are Bullet proof engines, they never had issues with oil pumps failing,or head gaskets blowing out of no where even at over 200,000miles. I've seen numerous quad 4 pieces of ---- in the shops ive worked at/with. Oil pump failure is common amoungst gm pieces of ----

Wow..They never put quad 4's in lumina's and they only came in 95 cavaliers. Those were low outputs anyway, the high outputs were rated at 180-190hp which I do believe I said one of the best N/A engines.

And Im probably sure your mixing them up with ld9's(2.4 twin cam) which have a shitty oiling system. Many people build ld9s and use factory 2.3 quad 4 oil pump swaps and handle over 400whp on factory used oil pump parts. I myself am doing an ld9 build and will be doing the quad 4 oil pump swap.

and ur cars gonna blow up lol. either way its gonna still be a slow Chevy Beretta

i've seen ur all mighty 190hp pos get taken down by a(my) 1991 automatic 2.5 Dodge Shadow Turbo convertible...that was before i changed the turbo to a daytona T2 garrett T03 and threw on a starion fmic.

oh and my automatic stock dodge stealth es tore the ---- out of an LG0 '91 grand am se that was on a 75shot. all gm 4cyl drivers are fat heads lol.

idk if anyone has felt the pull of a quad4 HO but i used to have a caviler that i swapped a full HO drivetrain in and the thing was faster than a lot of civics i raced. I also took my 180hp quad4 and swapped everything over the the 190hp w41 version. it was just as fast as a gs-r

Oxide_Zer0yome

the 2001 grand am is almost as fast as an automatic dodge stealth but still not quite....still a waste.

and umm on your list of best 4 cyl engines i would def take off the dodge 2.2 and 2.5 as yes there errr simple but there headgasket hungry
