To Turbo?

I have a Black 1998 Grand Am GT, and I was wondering what your opinions were about adding a turbo to it? It's a v4, 3.1L engine. I want to add some pep to it, and my friend knows of some cheap turbo's I can get. Any suggestions?

no v4 that I know of... Inline 4, but that's the 2.4L or 2.3L... yours is the 3.1? than it's a v6 bro...

if you turbo it.. damn that'd be an accomplishment.. but if you're trying to do things on the cheap... I wouldn't do a turbo on the cheap...

definately dumb..

it's not a v4, just a regular 4. And I might be wrong on the 3.1 liter.

it says v4 on my engine, like on the cover to it or w/e. But it's a straight 4, not a v4.

if it's a 1998 model.. it would say on the cover when you pop the hood either...

2.4L Twin Cam
16v DOHC
QUAD 4 16v
3100
3.1

one of those combinations..

LOL

1.) poor grammar
2.) straight and inline are used a lot to talk about the same thing...straight 6...inline 6...same thing so STFU
3.) if youre making fun of it for being a 2.4L then you should laugh at yourself since your 240 is the same thing

dont shit on peoples posts

why do you have to be such a dick? Are you mad because I called your cavalier a pos? well lets see, it has like 260k miles, cracked whatever, etc... most people would say it is.

I wasnt laughing at the fact he has a 2.4L, I was laughing at the fact that he didnt know what size engine he had. Its common sense, at least for me. When I buy a car, I at least know what I'm buying.

and btw, a 2.4L ka is completly different than a 2.4L grand am engine. But you should know that since you have a whole website devoted to it.
