what would fail first at 8000 rpms with upgraded springs and valves? the crankshaft? i heard some guy tried it and his crankshaft flew apart. i would love 8000 rpms

 

mmmmmmm 8k rev limit...

 

Yeah, I plan on getting some head work done (port and polish). I've got a local shop that will get me at least 30 horses and put in new valves and springs. I would love to have that, cams, and an 8000 limited tuned rpm band. It would be sweeeeeet! The engine already loves the 6500-7000 range

 

yea thats soo funny, i was thinking today about visiting the guy that did work on my last car, engine builder, gonna ask him to cut me a deal on port/polish, see what he says

 

well no more ported head for me,Maybe.LOl...the soarse of all my problems have been discovered(bad head) allowed oil to leak out and in a days period ****** everything, so far the dealer will keep this hush for me and order me up a new head,so i hope I get away with this or I have to go after the company who built the head and probly take em to court.Well this is all very depressing,but at the same time explain all the problems i have been having

 

^^^^^you had your head ported?? i didnt know that, who did it? and the dealer knows its ported?

 

no, im going to have it ported and polished though. screw the dealership. they wont touch the car anyways because i have a short throw (OMG its the end of the world). the guys im taking it to are charging around 600 for the port and polish, but they will pull some good power out of it

 

read three posts back, Senior meant me.LOL ya it was ported with the +1 size valvetrain,how i ended up with more torque than HP on the dyno

 

^^^^lol jokes, i'd love more trq then hp lol, but whatever works, ya know all i originally wanted was 200whp na, but wtf, i'll just like it foe a couple months and wanna go faster, maybe if i make my car fast enuf to scare me i wont wanna go faster than i already do lol

 

Haha, oops, sorry. I jumped back in and didnt realize there were a few that I missed. So any estimates on whp from them cams yet? I wanna try for 220 whp NA

 

thats a high goal, i was hoping 200whp

 

well 215whp??? but the si only dynoed 1 more hp than i and I was not tuned,but who knows now,gotta see what happens next week,then i'll have to break in the new valves again.LOL so no dyno for awhile

 

Well, i see it as, people are pushing 200 whp with I/E/H and a little tuning and maybe some cams too. Then add the special head work and retune. I could easily see 220 whp done correctly.

 

I got my injectors and the harness! BTW the harness is out of a 03 and up Cavi or Sunfire cost me all of $5.00 at the junkyard! Injectors, $50.00 so this is gonna be a very cost effective mod for me, and give the car the fuel capibility that it needs for future mods.

200WHP here I come!

 

LOL! $5.00 FTW! I just did a 2004 Cavalier tonight trying to put the Injectors in there, but they are about a Centimeter shorter than the stock so you can't make them work in the cavy without fabrication. But the harness is PERFECT for the swap.

Geez $5....................YOU THE MAN!

 

mine dont fit perfect either, had to turn them 180degrees and then put them in cuz the fuel rail got in the way, plus they didnt fit in as snug as i like them too, its all good tho, im just gonna get fatter o-rings and re-do it

 

Well, I have had the tune in since yesterday morning and all I have to say is wow. I pulls wonderfully and the new redline is great. I tested it against my friends prelude (p&p head, intake, tune, pushing around 210 to the wheels) and walked him easily from a 3rd gear pull at 60 mph. I will dyno as soon as I have the funds and I will take video as well as post the results.

 

That's my boy. I will be sure to try and give you even more top end.

 

Stevo, I really need some help, give me a call please! 757-650-2839

 

Okay I saved your number. I will call you from work tomorrow. Hopefully nothing serious.

 

Attention!!! Use Your Stock 2.4l Injector Clips When You Swap!!!! If You Don't, The Original Ss/sc Clips Will Pop Off!! It Just Happened To Me On The Highway, But Luckily I Had The Tools And The Other Injectors And Clips In The Car. Beware!! Fuel Will Spray Everywhere!!!

 

never happened to me, and i've been beating on the car for a while with the swap done

 

Huh? Are you referring the metal retainer piece? You HAVE to use the 2.4L one, like you said. They are different fuel rails and will fit differently.

But good thing to post a lesson to the other folks. LOL! What a bad situation!

Did you get a chance to put the newer version of the tune on there yet?

 

God dammit, a local dealer wants $157.75 for that harness...

 

I also have a set of the stock SS/SC injectors for sale... $50 bucks shipped and they are yours! Just let me know!
