Yah, give us details about head/gasket and transmission mojo. No one I know has ever heard of a serious Cavalier, I think it'd be pretty sweet to roll out and take people's money in one.

Just buy a tow truck now :P.

At 4 psi that thing will really rip ;) :P Looks nice man, hope it all works out :y

Re: solid deck built 2.4 madness
 

where to start

no, weisco 9:1's .020 over

That is not true at all for this motor. Technically, the quads stopped in 95 (2.3) and the 2.4 took over from there, which is what I have. The 086 (high output) head flows awesome and can rev to 7400 i believe in stock form, but those motors blow headgaskets like no tomorrow. A lot of people throw those heads on the 2.4 blocks making sort of a hybrid deal, but it raises the compression through the roof. 11.7:1 from the stock 9.5:1. So in order to do that, I would have to run dished pistons to obtain a still high compression of 10.5:1 or something. I just decided to skip all that bullshit and build the 2.4 head. Its got 086 cams, springs, and retainers. Stainless valves, bronze guides, 3 angle valve job, and ported to high heaven with an intake mani josh is gonna build me using velocity stacks, 2.5 runners, etc., oh and a 75mm ls1 tb. Headgaskets are not really an issue. I'll be running a .074 cometic gasket. The stock 2.4 oiling system sucks dick, plain and simple. The 2.3 oiling system is pretty stout, so I did what a lot of guys do and did a 2.3 oiling conversion. Not something I could have done myself and took the machinist 8 hours, but well worth it. Transmission is a stock izuzu tranny with cryoed 2.2 gears. 2.2 gearset has a shorter 1st, 3rd, and 4th gear. Think of it as b16 ratios for you guys lol. Also got my hands on a set of axles off a stock high output car. Those stock axles have held something like 600 ft/lbs 1/4. All that on some 15x7 motegi trak-lites and 26" MT slicks.Suspension consists of koni reds, and ground control coilovers. Tuning with hptuners, basiclly just a run live program such as uberdata or chrome. Oh, for a turbo kit i'll be running an sc61, tial 38mm, 3" charge pipes, and some sort of crazy turbo mani. I think that about covers it, any more questions just ask.

Looks tits :6 I had been wondering what was happening with this beast.Have many J body guys taken to this level before or are you kinda pioneering the way?I always wondered why i never seen any really built ones.

Re: solid deck built 2.4 madness
 

Who's making the mani?

Re: solid deck built 2.4 madness
 

Sounds sweet.

Re: solid deck built 2.4 madness
 

Pete, it's nothing more than an name change due to the OHC tainting it. If it were really different, Quad parts won't bolt to it ;)

Did you break the governor? Otherwise you'll be jammed at 108. Ask Spyhunter

Re: solid deck built 2.4 madness
 

is that why the whole displacement, head, block, and oiling system is differnt? Pretty sure i Just named all components of the engine ;). Yes I already disabled my governer. Thats how I blew up my stock block setup. 5th gear pulls own me :1

Re: solid deck built 2.4 madness
 

You forgot to mention the JDM taillights. :P

Sounds sweet pete. You better have this ------ done by the JYR '07 Summer visit O0
