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.

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)

Schister66 · #9 12-07-2005, 03:31 PM

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....

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.

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....

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.
