Cavalier Performance Goods!

Alright.. I'm looking up for my buddy while he's in basic some performance stuff for his car. I believe it's a 95 Cavalier with a 2.2L SOHC (might be DOHC). But he wants it to go fast (and it has a bend valve)! So I was looking around for different ways to go about peping this bad boy up. I saw the 2.4L QUAD 4 ENGINE as and option for a swap. What all would I need to complete the Z24/Quad 4 swap? I'm guessing mounts, wiring and ECU? Or will these things interchange from his old 2.2L? What about Tranny? Also what type of turbo would I be looking at for this engine?

Or would it just be better to go over the current engine and throw a turbo at it? And again what turbo would be best to throw on this one?

Thanks in advance for any help :runaround:

The quad4 or 2.4dohc is not made to be a speed demon they like to break timing chains and warp valves not good for the horsepower and you will need alot of time to swap

Ahh... ok.. So what about Turboing the 2.2L then?? I guess I'll just look for performance parts and setup for turbo then.. Thx for saving me from a troublesome engine :-)

Swap in an 2.2L Ecotec found in the newer Cavaliers and build that up.

Pre-00 eco swaps are not for a novice...
