Chevy Cavalier, home made turbo style. PICS, danger for 56k
 

Well i just finished my turboing my ecotec, 2004 cavalier. i know there aren't many doomestics(street chronicles style) on here, but its turboed. the wastegate is set at 8 psi. i don't have the luxury of a chipped ecu so i am running a greddy e-manage. here are some pics.
Whole car, that pvc piece is temporary.

Very nice man. We (NE crew) should be turbocharging a 98 Cavy sometime soon. When is that install anyway? This month? :-\

What are people making powerwise on the stock 2.2 ecotec? The bottom end isn't built like the 2.0 is it? O0

Re: Chevy Cavalier, home made turbo style. PICS, danger for 56k
 

looking good, hurry up and get to the dyno. O0

Re: Chevy Cavalier, home made turbo style. PICS, danger for 56k
 

I don't think the 2.2 is built like the 2.0. with the 2.2's, most people are making around ~210whp and ~230 wtq

i'll never like cavaliers.
but i do like turbod cars and especially sleepers.
good job man!

where does the oil feed hose come from?

Re: Chevy Cavalier, home made turbo style. PICS, danger for 56k
 

there is a place on the head that is pre tapped for oil feed. I just took out the plug and put in a fitting.

Re: Chevy Cavalier, home made turbo style. PICS, danger for 56k
 

I'm impressed :)

Re: Chevy Cavalier, home made turbo style. PICS, danger for 56k
 

if im not mistaken t3 and t4 are the exhaust flange type not the turbine or compressor type.

but looks good man. ive got most of my pieces for my kit that im making for the ecotec and just waiting on the turbo to come along with some IC piping and stuff. how does the ecotec feel boosted?? how easy was the emanage to program?

Re: Chevy Cavalier, home made turbo style. PICS, danger for 56k
 

What? All turbo's have an exhaust flange, this being a T3 flange. Not the turbine or compressor type? All turbos have a turbine and a compressor. Looks like a straight T3 to me, the compressor doesn't look large enough to be a T4. Nice setup ;)

Re: Chevy Cavalier, home made turbo style. PICS, danger for 56k
 

i was bout to say the same ----, you can have any compressor side and exhaust side, there's a t2 compressor, t3, t4, t66, 60-1... dont ever make a comment like that with only 30 post.

Re: Chevy Cavalier, home made turbo style. PICS, danger for 56k
 

yeah, what is the compressor outlet diameter on a t4 compressor? the boosted ecotec is really smooth and feels nice. the e-manage wasn't too hard to program, just make sure you get a map sensor that can read boost, i am getting an srt-4 one, got it for like 15 bucks. i'm pretty sure most honda map sensors can read boost.

Not bad, but I still don't really like cavaliers too much. :-\

Re: Chevy Cavalier, home made turbo style. PICS, danger for 56k
 

very nice, take it to the track and get some good numbers mang

Re: Chevy Cavalier, home made turbo style. PICS, danger for 56k

Re: Chevy Cavalier, home made turbo style. PICS, danger for 56k

Re: Chevy Cavalier, home made turbo style. PICS, danger for 56k

Re: Chevy Cavalier, home made turbo style. PICS, danger for 56k
