Thanks!

oh I know what else I forgot...Extrude honed Quad 4 HO Intake Manifold and a bored out HO TB

[PSiedTSi]

Nice, something different. No problem with it being a Cavi unless its got a fart can and a body kit lol You went the right way, even if some people say waste of money.

[blackcherryTSi]

What kinda hp are you shooting/hoping for?

[weshole]

Welcome. Nice to see something different around here. Hope to see ya around.

[dis_ill_usions]

I am shooting for 350whp, but I have seen other very similar builds get above 400whp

oh and its also getting tuned on E85 with 1100cc Injector Clinic injectors

[Slowica]

tuning is your friend. glad to see a cavi owner actually went the right way with the car instead of doing the usual mods you see on them.

[dis_ill_usions]

anyone know of anyone down here that knows how to tune with HP Tuners?

[capitlj]

Welcome. It is nice to see something different every once in a while. Now do what everyone else is doing and put an LQ4 in it

[dis_ill_usions]

lol yeah, ill get right on that

[zbrown]

like Tony said, cool to see something different

what breaks on those cars? axles? transaxles?

[99civic]

[dis_ill_usions]

^ AJ?

I have only ever broken one axle...powershifted into second and snapped the axle in half

[99civic]

yup that is me lol

Just be on the look out for the black and yellow cavi aka The UFO. He may try to run, and beat you, just ask Colton.
Old I know, but still worth a chuckle.

[kylush]

One of the coolest, if not the coolest cavi I've ever seen haha

I think I may have actually seen that car once or twice at my work...(Gateway Chevy)

[dis_ill_usions]

and thank you all for kind comments...Im really glad people can appreciate the work done to it even tho its a cavalier

[vita]

welcome! car looks nice, and yes, even though its "just" a cavi its done very nicely. No obnoxious wing... +1 from me.

you do all the install and swapping yourself? where did ya learn how to do it?

[Sheeran]

I love the GMSC!!!! The Quad 4 and the Twincam are overlooked by everyone. This spring im looking to get either a Quad 4 HO 5speed or a 2.4L 5 speed to put the GMSC on. Glad to see someone local besides me who knows what to do with these cars though i havn't done it yet LOL. I hope to see this car at an auto-x or street legal days next summer.

[dis_ill_usions]

I did everything myself beside the machine work. Disassembly, research, minor custom fab work, assembly, and installation all done with my own 2 hands. I learned mostly from doing research like any good noob should do. But for actually knowing how to put a motor together I dont ever actually having someone teach me, it just kinda came natural...but I do have some recent schooling just to make it look good on paper. lol

Sheeran, yeah I too am glad to see there is someone local that actually appreciates this platform. But good luck finding parts for either one...like I am sure you read my motor is pretty much a "hybrid" cuz the only thing left from the actual 2.4L is the block, crank, head, and valves. Everything else besides the turbo stuff and the pistons/rods is from a Quad 4 HO, including the oil pump...and let me tell ya, that was a royal P.I.T.A. but well worth it!
