hey guys i have $5000 to throw in to my 2001 2.2 2200. im going to turbo it but i was wondering what i can do to make my motor more reliable when running 8psi. id like to build up the motor up a little bit. spend about $2500 on the turbo and the other half on upgrades. any help?
Intercooler, Injectors, MSD and you should be good.
well im new at the truboing a Jbody too but i was just lookin through a post alil earlier. i came across teh same thing you are doing (turboing a 2200) and someone said hes runnin 8 and hes fine but i do kno it depends on turbo sizes. i will be runnin 7 on my 2.4 outa a T3 but like i said im also new at this. hope that was of some kind of help. im not building my engine. lowering my compression will take away some power so i figured ill just boost 7 or 8psi and see just as good gains (i hope). (anyone correct me if im wrong)
what pound injectors and what kind of intercooler do you reccomend torque monster?

Don't ask me, I don't know jack shiz about turbos
If you have an extra 5 bills to spend, it's time to buy a new ride. Or you could always go with a nice 70" high def tv
I say with 5k i would buy a used manual z24 or maybe something like a talon tsi or something decently fast stock.

Good idea!!! get a dsm for 1-2k, put the remaining money into it. i think ive spent a total of about 4k on my eclipse including the car and i should be good for at least 350 hp. then you would still have your daily driver (cavi). doesnt get much better than that. a 2.2 ohv's potential hp wise isnt much higher than a dsm stock for the msot part, ive seen like 210, does anyone have any higher than that?
Buy my Hybrid engine....$3000 and its yours or my drag tranny for a grand

engine swap put an eco in there

Dont waste your money on a cavalier. Buy a camaro . You can buy a 93-97 camaro for $5000 that will run anywhere from 14 seconds to high twelves for that much money
but the 2.0 supercharged ecotec and swap that in. part # 12499466
not everyone has a mullet
The 2.0 swap you wont do for 5 grand you will spend that in parts alone
best bet is an eco from the junkyard with a turbo kit, best reliablity with power

ecotec swap. then turbo that engine later. If your local to us we can do the swap for you.

could always get a crotch rocket.
I say if you want get a turbo. Run low boost at first. Then in the future do more with it.
I think that with the whole get a new car attitude, this is the reason J-bodies are where they are now. Why should companies even R&D parts when all they see on here is go buy a new car.

u make the best point. I am always talkin with my friends w/ their VW's how they are all so into their cars and love every part of them, one day they asked me if jbody owners love their cars as much. I then showed them this thread and they almost fell over laughing! J-bodys are always gonna need custom stuff cuz hardly any j owner has real pride in their car.. I say do a eco swap or 2.4. they are booth great platforms. the 2.4 can be had for around 300-500 bucks out of a junk yard with less then 50k on it. don't know much about the eco.
