The 4g63 engine is more than capable of handling power. 400+ hp can be sustained on stock internals.


Yeah, I realize that not everyone wants a DSM, but boosting a cavalier isnt for everyone. It takes lots of time, money, knowledge, and probably a good deal of fabrication to build the engine and/or turbo a cavy and most people arent ready for that. I think its cool that CRJ and -Jayson- are going to pursue making their Cavy's fast, but you two know what you are doing. Like me when I first got my car, many newbies think that they will suddenly have a 500hp car that is capable of 10 sec 1/4's once they slap in a turbo, but theres lots more to it than buying a few parts and bolting them on. $3500 is a lot of money, and most people dont realize it takes that to boost/build a Cavalier. I agree with you two, the most important thing about having a car is having one that you love, and if you only love Cavy's then go for it. Sorry guys, I didnt mean to push anyones buttons, just letting my opinion out.

I agree that boosting a cavalier isnt for everyone. But why do you shoot down everyone that wants to do it?

You could always have one custom-made right?

thats what i thought...i thought turbos were pretty much the same and the only difference in kits were the bendings of the tubes to hook everything up in the cavalier

I personally wouldnt get a t25 (came out of the 95+ DSM's), $300 seems a little steep to me. They are pretty small and it doesnt take much to max them out, but they have a fast spool time. If your friends turbo is a 14b, then I would go for it. The 14b (came out of the 90-94 DSM's) can support more power than the t25 and I think they have pretty close spool times. As far as turbo manifolds go, I dont know what who makes, but my friend makes them and I'm sure he'd do it for you.
