There's something wrong with me... I've made a terrible mistake...
Saturday, May 19, 2012 11:11 AM
...I bought another Cavalier...















The good news is, it has a built engine with an NVG tranny swap (much stronger than the stock Isuzu) and was running around 450hp until about 6 months ago when the previous owner parted the turbo setup out. It needs and intake manifold, intake, exhaust manifold and downpipe, but thankfully I have a whole parts car sitting around.





Engine Mods:
Fully built and balanced 2.4LD9 engine

-Engine bored .020 over
-9.0.1 Compression Wiseco Pistons (.020) overbore
-Secret Cams
-Fully built head w/ 1mm oversized valves, titanium retainers, valve springs, and fully ported and exhaust side polished
-Mantapart high rev lifters
-Eagle H Beam Connecting Rods
-Knife edged crankshaft
-Melling 2.3 HO Oil Pump Conversion
-Extensive oil galley porting
-ARP Head and Main Studs
-Cometic .074 Head Gasket
-Clevite 77 rod and main bearings
-Balance shaft removal
-Custom windage tray
-2.2L Coil Swap/MSD Wires
-Lightweight Odyssey Drycell battery
-Vibrant performance 2.75" stainless exhaust
-Walbro 255lph In tank Fuel Pump
-Bosch 044 300lph inline fuel pump
-8AN braided fuel line from tank to fuel rail
-Jegs billet inline fuel filter
-HPTuners custom tuned
-Cruise control and a/c system removed

Transmission Mods:
-Custom swapped NVG T550 Transmission
-B&M Short Throw Shifter
-ACT Stage 5 4 puck solid hub racing clutch
-Custom front and rear tranny mounts with Poly inserts

Suspension/Brake Mods:
-GM Performance front strut tower bar
-Baer vented/cross drilled front rotors
-Hawks HP pads
-Arospeed 17"x7.5" Hyperblack wheels
-Falken Azenis RT-615 tires on front, Hankook Ventus HR2 on rear

Exterior Mods:
-20% tint

Interior Mods:
-ProForm programmable shift light

Plan is to get it back under boost as soon as possible. I'll be running a pretty small turbo since this car will be built mainly for AutoX, so I want as much low end power as possible. Hopefully I'll be able to spool at about 2000rpm and get close to 300whp.



Paying someone to install parts and bragging about it being fast, is like watching someone bang your wife and being proud to raise their kids.

Love it. Front filler plate and call it done. Doesnt need much exterior wise. Under the hood.... its going to be tough to spool by 2000 rpm and have 300hp.... you will either run out of air for a turbo that will spool by 2000 or you will hit 300 and not spool by 2000....

if it were me id find something around a saab/mitsu size. that will increase power but be auto x friendly.

I would bet it will still cool plenty with the filler plate in there.

If not it needs FMIC right away!

Nice man, Best of luck. I pretty much know everything "weird" about 99s. So if you have any questions feel free to ask.
