individual throttle boddies
 

i was wondering if it was possible to put quad throttle bodies on a 1998 cavalier 2.2 whithout to meny headaches or money
the motor just seems not to have any power and i got a cold air intake hedder and full exhaust if it can be done reasonably howmuch true ( wheel ) hp and ft-lbs and will i have to sacrifice driveability?

Re: individual throttle boddies
 

um i dont have any useful info on the individual tb's but why dont you just go turbo instead of even worrying about that? it wont be very noticeable except for noisey and perhaps a little better throttle response

Re: individual throttle boddies
 

Scrap it. Go with a Twincam, and turbo that.

Re: individual throttle boddies
 

Quite honestly, if you are looking for something that you can make a decent amout of dependable power with...I would go find yourself a honda. But, then again I am pretty biased on the subject. You could probly turbo that thing and make it pretty quick without a lot of money into it, but it wouldn't last very long.

BTW, to answer your question, I agree with the 2teg guy, it wouln't be worth it. But it would be a one of a kind thing as far as I know...BTW, isn't this the FORCED INDUCTION section?

Re: individual throttle boddies
 

yeah but individual tb's r kinda forced induction(where else would i put it?)
and as for a turbo i agree i could get more power easier but i realy like the cav because all of them are riced out so if i build a fast cav it would be the sleeper of the century u kno?
plus i'm still making payments

Re: individual throttle boddies
 

that would be a lot of work and tuning for a car thats head flows like ---- already so you wont gain much for hp, just loose drivability.

Re: individual throttle boddies
 

um no theyre not.....you can build a turbo cav and not have it riced out, and if you are saying you're still making payments, are you implying you still have a warranty on the vehicle?? itb's would void that for sure

Re: individual throttle boddies
 

first off im not calling turbos rice what i'm saying that all the cavs i'v seen their stereos have more hp than their motors and when i bought it it only came with a 30day warranty and i bought it 6months ago i would go for a turbo but i wanna do somthing i havent seen done ( putting itb's on a cavalier ) and as for the head flowing like ---- i just ordered an ecotec 2.0l head ( thats the one on the cobalt ss supercharged ) i dynoed it a week ago and it put down a massave 145 whp and 151ft-lbs

Re: individual throttle boddies
 

i never said you said that turbos are ricey, you said that you didnt want a ricey turbo cavi and I said that you dont have to make it ricey....anways in your first post you asked i and several others answered it....if you want to be different that would work, but dont expect huge numbers, and do expect headaches and money spending

also you could check out the first thread in hybrid/tech for more info

Re: individual throttle boddies
 

still ----, not a high reving n/a designed head that would work well with itb's. For the same amount of work just go turbo ;)

Re: individual throttle boddies
 

yeah but my cavvy dose rev high i personally remapped it and rev limiter dose not kick in till 7800 ( stock is 5700rpm) and i need itb's because at 6500 the motor starts struggling for air and 1 57mm tb just aint cutting it
and yes my mapping is good

Re: individual throttle boddies
 

get a DAEWOO T20SED or T22SED head

Opel/Vaxhaul C20XE pistons

and the ITB

it would make good HP

Re: individual throttle boddies
 

thank u european_dude its about time somebody was supportive but till i get a t20esd or t22esd head i'll get out my dremmel and port and polish the head but how well do u think my cav would take to spray?

Re: individual throttle boddies
 

It's crap. Pete has Twincam experience, and I have Quad 4. Both better than the 2200

Re: individual throttle boddies
 

if i had the money i would scrap it mike94se but if i was gunna do that i'd buy a nissan 240 and drop in a sr20det motor in it
so i can go drift

Re: individual throttle boddies
 

Would've cost less than what you ended up spending

Re: individual throttle boddies
 

i only got $6500 in it including the price of the car and dyno tuning

Re: individual throttle boddies
 

2500 and sponsorship :D

Your cavy is gay, and skinny is emberassing you :1

Re: individual throttle boddies
 

dont know exactly in my car i port matched the intake manifold with the head, also did some porting in the exhaust worked out well

i think your red line is too high 7000rpm would be good but still high unless u get
better cams

when swapping the head u would have to relocate the distributor and make some adaptations

it would b better to swap the whole engine but swapping heads is doable

have a look
