Need help with 2.3 SOHC
Wednesday, April 20, 2005 1:00 PM
Ok heres the question... I have a 2.3L and it says quad on the top cover but I have been told it is a SOHC. I am trying to find out what is available for performance parts for it without burning a hole in my pocket.. If you say cold air induction (i've been told this would help) where and who would i find it for my engine?? What else would be a good idea for some more HP..

Thanks for all your help

I highly doubt you have the 2.3L SOHC engine. That thing was a monster that the only place it belonged was the trash. The 95 J-Body only had the 2.3 DOHC "hybrid" that was a cross between the 2.3 "LO" motor and the 2.4.

and the motor was horrible, just like shifted said. check out RSM, Quad4Forums, and The Race Shop and if you have any questions about the Quad 4, a good guy to talk to is SpeedVision.

The Dohc version will say 16Valve on the cover. The Lo, Ho and W41 had the 16valve stamp on the cover. If it's a SOHC, you'll have like half of a cover.

I thought that motor was only in the N-bodies, 1992-1994?





Does it go faster?

Thanks guys.. well I'm building a killer sound/video system in the car so kinda want a better engine too.
