well ive been working on this thing for a while but i finally got some progress on it... to get everyone up on what i have done so far here is a short list
power sterring delete
086 head
secret cam swap
ld2 block and internals
working on the neon coil conversion
shaved lgo intake
there is more to come but as for pics here are a few.. any comments or suggestions are appriciated, thanks
Power steering delete gets annoying as hell if youre driving it on the road and can be slightly unsafe.
the lo intake because i had it around... i also have the header style intake that im considering.... but mostly it was here
Egad, no.. the header-style intake is total garbage. If you're going to do it up right, at least find the right HO intake for the 086 head. Why half-ass it?
i have a completed neon coil swap pm me if ur interested. cheap
086 head with secret cams and a lo intake manifold.............
FAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ooh, I missed the secret cams bit. That's mint!
Secret cams are only good on the 2.4L. There would be no point in running them on a 2.3L Quad 4. You may as well just swap a 2.2L OHV engine in there!!
well i was just telling you what cams i had, i wasnt fortunate enough to get the ho cams but thanks for being a dick
i dont he was being a dick. if you have a 086 head why don't you have the other HO parts? to get the head you gotta take the HO intake hanifold off and the HO cams out.
well to think about it you should of got the whole HO motor. easy 30-35hp gain.
He's not being a dick. He's being John.
Slow your roll some and learn a bit first.
Ahem.. you DID say..

If me pointing out something now, so you don't get seriously disappointed later, is somehow misconstrued as 'being a dick'... well... no more help from me for you.
I've been on this forum, and modding J-cars for 10 years now... I think I know what I'm talking about.
Besides, I got NOTHING on some of the real dicks around here

PS. It's spelled APPRECIATED! There is a spell check button for people like you. Consider that my final comment...

it was just the head that they had for sale...does someone have a set of cams?? maybe an intake?
and about the comment... one of them days... my apologies
You started with an LD2, you add a LO intake. Gain near 0. You then swap 1 Lo cam. Then again gain near 0. You have an 88-89 LO exhaust manifold. Hum why? and once again 0.
The ONLY good thing is the 086 head witch does NOTHING for you since you still kept a Lo intake and exhaust manifolds.
All I see there is a bunch of parts doing nothing more than lightening your wallet.
Btw, powersteering delete? Why? To gain 1-2 hp? Is it really worth it? It's not like you swapped a set of big cams.

just felt like doing the power steering delete, nothing really more to it... and as for all the parts thrown together, if you would have read, i had everything lying around minus the head... i bought because mine was cracked and got a really good deal on so i figured why not, its a work in progress, i have found ho cams and a ho intake so i will have those befor to long...and the exhaust its not definate either, i had it there i do have the lo exhaust as well do i need to find a ho exhaust too?
