95 cavalier question?
ok my buddy has a 95 cavalier with a 2.2l engine on it. now he wants to a full performance motor (money not an issue). now he was wondering if he should stick with a 2.2l or a 2.4l motor. he wants to add a turbo to either motors and i understand that means a turbo manifold and low compression pistons and so forth being a dsm owner. what is the best route for him as far as motors go. stick with 2.2? go 2.4? and another question. i have a mitsubishi eclipse turbo motor that is stored and was wondering if there is any way it will fit into a cavy. yeah i know tranny would have to be changed, and being an import motor will there be major issues or no?

2.4 would be the way to go, in my opinion. You can do a 2.2 if you want to be different, nothing wrong with that either. Realistically, stay away from dropping engines in from other cars unless you are very, very talented mechanically (rich helps too). It could possibly be done, but usually if people have to ask about it, they won't be able to do it. Good luck whatever your choice.

Re: 95 cavalier question?
Yep, no prob. Most people would say do the 2.4.

Re: 95 cavalier question?
This is my car were talking about, but If i did the 3800 motor, what else would i have to do to make the engine swap work? On top of that how much money are we talking? Thanks for the help
