TurboEco

My name is phil and I am 23, as well as a recent graduate of college, moving into a new place this weekend..

car is a 2002 chevrolet cavalier with the ecotec motor and a custom turbo kit, not home made but I and my roomate have done a lot of work to the car including swapping manifold gasket, turbo to manifold gasket, and changing the charge pipes around and a lot of little things that have helped me learn a decent amount.

right now the car runs about 10 psi and backs off to 8.7 (wg spring, small blue) because of a blown turbo to manifold gasket. Main problem is the bolts holding my turbo on keep backing off, tried loc-tite and a few other things. (any suggestions) after the pics I will post a current mod list. I plan on painting the car all black again, building the motor and throwing a Quiafe lsd in the tranny to go along with my current dss stage 2 axles. well onto the pics

(disclaimer: one of the welds on my charge pipes was cracked and I put the duct tape on there to test to see if it was leaking boost and indeed it is, once we get setting into our new place I will be cutting the charge pipe and putting in a coupler and t-bolt clamps.)











This is the new 3 inch exhaust



Bored 1 day and decided to drop 3 gears standing still.. I think it turned out nice





and here is a small video

(note: the end mods arent upto date, I HAD the 3 inch side exit on, now it's off and the full catback is on, safc II I sold for MegaSquirt, I am getting a different fuel pump not the walbro, I think thats it)

Cool setup

Minor Threat

We need better videos.

Any idea what the car is running time wise/power output?

USS

Nice ---- man, I like it

TurboEco

power output is 233 whp and 247 tq

time wise I am sure it is capable of very very low 13's if not high 12's

(assuming that I base my guesses of what cavaliers of simliar power are running, am I in NO way say that I will run that)

vsm98civic

not one for cavaliers but clean setup

TurboEco

suprising you said clean lol... msot people say it is really messy... this new place has a garage so we will be able to take the whole thing apart and re do everything really nicely, since I can walk to work...

Minor Threat

Ahh to make more torque than horsepower...

Pretty clean, be sure to keep the videos coming too

not a bad set-up although i think i would loose that duct-tape coupler.
