Turbo Turbo...Im craving Turbo!
hey guys,
I have a 1997 cavalier RS 2.2L is there anywhere I can get some turb semi - cheap. I looked online and a turbo kit can cost up to $2000 dollars. I'm a waiter at a resteraunt i did the calculations that with my monthly expenses and my income it would take me about a month days of saving up to make about $1000 dollars. Any URL's or perhaps places i could buy turbo, and have it perform around where the expensive ones do..or should i just save up for the big one. |

Re: Turbo Turbo...Im craving Turbo!
how many miles are on it??? since its 10 years old and your finally putting a turbo on it, you'll have to rebuild the engine if you want ANY kind of reliability

Re: Turbo Turbo...Im craving Turbo!
www.hahnracecraft.com if you have a manual.
Other wise, piece your own together. Your still looking at 2,000 easily. If you over 80K miles, don't waste your time if you don't plan on rebuilding down the road once your blow your HG, throw a rod, or spin a bearing.

Re: Turbo Turbo...Im craving Turbo!
First thing i need to say: DO NOT BUY FROM EBAY
Secondly, having turboed many cars and mine 3 times, i'll tell you right now that its going to cost AT LEAST $3k. I dont pay full price on anything anymore, but my setup still cost me $5k approx....you CAN do it for less, but you have three options really...pick 2 of them 1. Reliable 2. Cheap 3. Fast

It can be cheap and reliable, but it wont be fast It can be reliable and fast, but it wont be cheap It can be fast and cheap, but it wont be reliable If you think you can do better than me, good luck...i'd like to see you figure out how you can make your setup fast, reliable and inexpensive. I get discounts on everything from my STC built turbo to my SLS manifold....if I can't built a setup cheaply, then i'm sure you can't. Even if your setup does cost less, good luck running mid 11's.....that's what i'm shooting for at the next track event in September Prove me wrong, i'd love to see it....fuck, i'd be impressed if you ACTUALLY finished your turbo project. The next hurdle after that is not getting arrested because it seems you like to drive like an ass. For real tho, prove me wrong....i'd like to see it happen

Re: Turbo Turbo...Im craving Turbo!
LoL... whatever, i dont know what your problem is, but ur an ass...
how cheap is cheap? i think $4000 is cheap, and with that much money, i can get my setup running pretty reliable and fast... i would estimate my car around low 13's, high 12's Just wait, once everything gets to me then it will be done, The first week of october hopefully... |

Re: Turbo Turbo...Im craving Turbo!
Man, some people need to grow up. (Lefix, Cavyfamous) Schister knows what he's talking about and he's only giving you guys facts. So calling him an ass is uncalled for.

Re: Turbo Turbo...Im craving Turbo!
13's and 12's after you completely rebuild your engine with forged internals and all the other goodies....

you think what you want, but just remember i've done this many times...all successful mind you. With a budget of $4000 you should be able to do that, but seeing as i have to pay for my car, my tuition, housing and so forth, i dont see that as cheap. Also, no offense to you guys w/ Cavaliers who like them, but personally it is a TERRIBLE platform and i honestly think that dumping $4k into a turbo setup on it is a bad investment at your age. The auto tranny will last 2 pulls if you're running enough power to get into the 12's....you're only thinking small picture on this setup. Thanks for the backup guys...
