Re:newbie to HMT.com
That could be a nice little sleeper. Good luck with the project and I'm sure you'll find all of the info you need here.
|
Re:newbie to HMT.com
mild build? what will that consist of? and where are you from?
on that A6, you could reach 200hp, with a good turbo set-up, and some good fuel management. |
Re:newbie to HMT.com
welcome

Re:newbie to HMT.com
hey im a newb to! ;D
i have a 2003 cavalier ls sport with 2.2L ecotec. i heard of this site from jon fisher(airtonics) who is a member of a club i belong to. i am ordering a complete turbo kit from cavalierconnection.com which comes with a turbo header instead of a mani. just thought i would say hello to everyone too. that car definately has sleeper potential, that would be sweet. |

Re:newbie to HMT.com
Make ur own piping and get a fmic from johnny racecar. He has some good fmic, but it also depends on how much hp u want to run. Or go to the junkyard and get starion ic.

Re:newbie to HMT.com

|
Re:newbie to HMT.com
You'll find another deal or even better. So sell me ur car j/k. Have u thought about changing the bumpers to an si?
|
Re:newbie to HMT.com
i was thinking about it, but bodywork isnt my bag and im too broke to have someone else do it
|
Re:newbie to HMT.com
That is a good deal u got for the car.
|
Re:newbie to HMT.com
i like that hatch, its clean and stock, now go bust ass with your turbo setup
|
Re:newbie to HMT.com
the hatch looks great. did the honda caps need anything to fit the rims?
check into the price for zdyne and the price for chipping/turboedit. |
Re:newbie to HMT.com
the VW hub center is about 1.5mm bigger all i had to do was bend the tabs out a little
i think the Zdyne was like ~$900 i am not very comp literate so the idea of burning chips isnt very appealing to me, but it has ever been fully explained to me either,i only know what i have read an eprom guide for idiots would be nice |

Re:newbie to HMT.com
love the avatar.. car's not to bad, and not a big fan of the bling bling 15in steelies.
Welcome to hmt =) |
Re:newbie to HMT.com
as far as i know aftermarket OE replacement bumpers for EF's are the same texture
the true OEM Si ones have less texture than the STD/DX ones so the paint sticks better and has a smoother finish right now for the winter(or lack thereof) i am running 14x5.5 VW steelies, blk w/ silver lip from factory there is only one set of alloy wheels that i will ever use ATS cups, other than that it'll be steelies http://www.gumibolt.hu/alufelni/ats/cupn.jpg teh hotness |

Re:newbie to HMT.com
There's a guy that has a boost cavalier in the project section. U should read up on what he did and maybe it could give u some ideas.

Re:newbie to HMT.com
i am a member of j-bom(jbodies of michigan). we have like 20-30 members we have 3or4 supercharged cars, and 3(it was 4 when airtonics had his sunfire tuboed :'( ) turbo cavs (one of which is 330whp)and a N/A sunfire that runs a sub 12 1/4 mile . mine will have about 250whp. i love the ecotec engine it has great torque and is super light weight, that is why i bought my car.
necro, if you are talking about airtonics(jon fisher) i know him he is in our club (^^the car is no longer turboed), and that isnt the same engine i have, that is the ld9 2.4. i have a 2.2 ecotec. |
