Blow Off Valve

k i was just wondering if it was possible just to put a blow off valve on a 99 cav with out even haveing a turbo and if it is possible would if make the same sound as it would if there wa a turbo????

ehhh :eek7:

well u know that like whislte noise i cant discribe it when a car with a turbo shifts gears.. like u know... lmao

No, there isnt anywhere any pressure is building enough to power a BOV. Remember, a BOV isnt there for the sound, its there to relieve pressure. If you just want the sound they make a speaker system you can put in than runs on a vacuum and senses when you shift to make the noise.

ehhh :eek7:

Ok, my usual line was stolen but umm yeah :eek7:

you is dumb.....

why would you want the sound of a turbo....get the damn turbo set up if you want the sound. I hate those stupid ass speaker systems that make kids think that their cars are cool....you're not!

but this mechanic guy said it is impossible to drop a turbo in a 99 z24 becasue there engine cant take it and they are pretty much pushing as much power as they can handle.. well is this true or not?????

AHAHAHAHHAHA the 2.4L is a good engine for small boost. (6-7 PSI)

you can boost ANYTHING! absolutely any engine can be boosted......it just may cost a lot....

A cavalier shouldn't cost much more than any Honda turbo build....

kk thx well i was goign to drop a turbo in and the guy who was goign to do it was some like head mechcanic at Saist and he was like we cant do this becasue your engine will just blow up in 3 days if u have this on i was like,,,,..... wtf

Step one, don't go to everyday shops for your upgrades..
Step two, if there is no tuner shops around, do it yourself.
Step three, don't be fake/ricer/anything else.
Step four, What the hell kind of question is that?

Ask your "mechanic guy" about the Quad4 High Outputs and the Quad4 W41's, then. 180HP and 190HP, respectively, on a 2.3L. This motor is the OLD version of your more recent Twin Cam.

Also, GM makes a supercharger kit for the motor because it CAN safely handle the boost. I'm a bigger fan of supercharging because its easier to do on a daily-driven car and because on the Twin Cam I've heard horror stories of the heat from the turbo frying out shift linkages in manual trannys. Your call, though.

:spit:

Oh my FUCKING god, you made my day starting this thread! I agree, dont take your car to a mechanic for upgrades or opinions, they generally dont know shit. I would do it yourself, unless your not mechanically inclined, then take it to a specialty shop. Oh man.... :rofl:

Dude i mean no disrespect by saying this but its better if you dont boost your car untill you fully understand how a turbo works. Personaly i would spray its a lot simpler. And you wont kill yourself....maybe.

You need to read and learn....you can't just boost your car. That guy probably didn't think you were serious and didn't want to talk about it w/ you. You can boost a Cavalier. I would rather boost than sc personally because a supercharger is really limited on its potential compared to a turbo. It is a lot easier install tho. I'm doing a turbo write up in the Honda Section and i'll post it in here when i'm done so that people like you can read and learn.

As soon as you have a full understanding of how the whole system works, you can find ways to make it more affordable and then you can do it yourself.

kk thx well i am learning more in this thread because i know abit about car engines but i mostly have my knowledge in bikes but i am sorry for sounding dumb i am slowly learning more shit about cars. But i would like it if you people kept posting this helpful posts.Thx

here.....its not done yet, but you can start reading it if you want....I'm trying to work on it still, but its almost finals week so i can't really devote a lot of time to it....
