Hey guys. I'm curious as to what displacement engines and what hp were these engines rated at that came in the 2nd gen phase 1 and phase 2 cavaliers. Their is a big debate at the local race track that some of them had 2.0L engines (which are allowed) and some of them had 2.2L engines(which are not allowed). I only care about the 4 cyl models. What I really need to know is what size engine came in what year cavalier, with respect to 2nd gen 4cyl cavaliers, and what hp were these engines rated at. Thanks.
I think if you look through the FAQ you would find your answer but I'll be nice and give it to you:
88-90 2nd Gen Phase 1
1988-89: 2.0L 90HP / 109TQ
1990: 2.2L 95HP / 120TQ
91-94 2nd Gen Phase 2
1991: 2.2L 95HP / 120TQ
1992-93: 2.2L 110HP / 130 TQ
1994: 2.2L 120HP / 140 TQ
So why is the 2.2L engine not allowed considering it came in most years of the 2nd gen?

I'm curious also. Is this just a displacement limit? The additional 5 hp of the pre 1992 tbi 2.2 isn't a "make or break" factor. If the extra torque is an issue, would a weight penalty be in order?

He asked for Cavaliers... 2.0Ls only came in sunbirds after 89.
exactly, thanks for the back up Wraith

Thanks a bunch guys. I did look through the FAQ but couldn't find it (sometimes i'm as blind as a bat). Anyways, this is all I need. Should settle the debate.
Well as for the race track, they only allow motor up to 2.0L in domestics and up to 1.5L in imports.
FWIW, I'd ask for a review of those rules. For example, the 1.9L DOHC Saturn engine (124 hp 122 ft/lbs ) will kick the pants off a 2.2L TBI OHV engine and probably many of the 8V import engines. Wouldn't the displacement limit be better based on 2 valve / cylinder versus 4 valve / cylinder heads?
Or you can keep quiet and head out to find a 1.9L DOHC engine.
Have fun.

figure out some way to de-stroke a w41 quad 4, or figure some way to get a 2.0l ecotec into it.
what are the rules you have to run??? does it have to be the same size/type motor that came in the car??? how are the rules regarding engine swaps???

Has anyone ever attempted/succeeded to put one of those into a J-body? I know that for not much $$ you can make those engines put out more than the head cheerleader behind the bleachers
And I'm quite sure I can find one (or more) in my local yard.
They throw out head cheerleaders there??? Crazy... they make good waitresses when they get older.

Man I gotta go to the junkyard..
2.0 in second gen sunbirds is 110hp stock (threw that out there just for the heck of it)
I need to find a dyno.
