Yeah but then I would be spending $500+

 

You can get the bass link for 230

Then I have to get a box and an amp. I don't want all that crap. simplicity!

If its a rental its probably not a Ecotec.

thats cool but I'm really looking for something small and compact. If I was going to get something big it would probably be 2 12" kappa perfects

I'm probably going to get one for my car because I've read a couple reviews and they seem decent. Plus infinity also make decent stuff. I know its not going to shake my car to pieces but they seem to also be decently powered. And best of all they are light and compact. (What I'm going go) I'm kinda an audiophile but really not hardcore about it. I just want clean crisp bass and a little bump when I want it. Anybody have any experience with one?

Actual if you want I'll post the question since I'm already signed up smile.gif

yeah its probably a lot easier. If you do find a way of getting the cover off it might help. Oh and you can help me do mine smile.gif

Quote from someone who did it. I can also get a list of people you can email that have actually done it if you want.

 

"When I rebuilt my engine last month, I went ahead and replaced the waterpump just for good measure. My engine was out of the car when I did it and it was still a pain to do with a lot of room to move around, so I know it will be a b1tch to do while the engine is still in the car. This is what has to be done to replace it. Drain the oil and coolant. Remove the timing chain cover. Have the timing set at TDC, the holes on the cam gears should be facing down and if they are, a bolt should slid right into the hole of the gear and into a hole in the timing chain housing, also the key on the crankshaft will be at 12 o'clock position. Remove the guides, the shoe guide (press in the plastic peice at the base and pull off, or just break it and buy one from the dealership for about $2) and the timing chain tensioner. Work the timing chain off. Unbolt all of the bolts and nuts to remove the waterpump. Clean off all of the old gaskets. Install the new pump and gaskets correctly. Put the timing chain back on, then the tensioner and shoe guide and then the rest of the guides. Pull out the bolts holding the cam gears. Put on the timing chain cover. Fill with oil and coolant. Sounds easy, but it will be a pain. "

 

rave.child@sympatico.ca Email him I guess.

Or just make a post at j-body.org. I'm sure they will answer your question pretty quickly

nope, the 2.2 is EASY!!! but the 2.4 is driven off the timing chain. I've already been there.... they said that most places quoted them 600 bucks for labor. Thanks though.

Yeah I know. I have the 2.4L. I believe that you remove the exhaust manifold and take off one of the upper engine mounts. Plenty have people have done it in the garage even though its a PITA I will be too. Pick up a haynes if you don't have one already. Should explain it pretty well.

Go to j-body.org and do a search on the waterpump. I think there is an easier way to do it.

no i did not. Would have been nice if he would have mentioned that

What are you allowed to do. The rods and pistons on the 2.2 are very weak. GO to www.rksports.com for rice parts smile.gif

 

For real mods go here http://www.mantapart.com/

you got a pm

btw this turbo is off some nissan

buy a better BOV

OK here I took a pic. The bolt is obvioulsy circled. YOu can see from the second pic. I took that from the top and thats how the exhaust flange has to be with the manifold I have. YOu can see how the oil flanges are upside down. You can see how I need to turn the exhaust housing. I don't care about the compressor side since I can make my pipes anyway I want.

I will probably have to sell it.

Well I bought a nice turbo and I wanted to reclock the exhaust side but because of how the bolts and oil fitings are you can't get a wrench on two of them. The problem is the return is now on the top and the feed on the bottem. I was wondering if I could some kind of pump and put it inline to suck the oil out of the turbo and into the oil pan. ANd if anybody nows of where I could find an electric pump like this.

Well I was talking about a GM sensor because thats what mine is so nevermind

You probably hooked it up to the wrong wire coming from the O2 sensor. There are two. Try the other one.

The base cavalier is offered in a 3 spd.

Those grass cuttin bastards!!!

If you get the heat working on it I might have to rent it out for 4-5 days. Looking for a nice warm play with plenty of room to install my turbo kit. Plus you could watch/help/laugh at me while I try to do it.

it sucked smile.gif

j-body.org, keep an eye on the classifieds. There is usually someone on there selling a 2.2L manifold. BTW the 2.2L can't take bery much boost People blow them at only 5 psi.

I know thats not the Super Sequential, But it is HKS. Anybody know anything about this BOV. There are a couple of them on ebay.
