the best way is to use the "Posts Since Last Visit" link off to the right, right under the ad banner on the top, and right over the ad banner along that side. other than that, go to the home page, and search around.:D

RE: how do I work this thing?
 
Honestly right now I just member search my name and look at the last thing that I posted on. NO I don't have an mx6 I have a Z24 Cavalier and an 88' civic I'm currently looking at investing in a brand new car. The mx6 in my user name was my boyfriends car but we have recently broke up so I'm looking to meet new people and get involved in the things that interest me. I dunno' if you know anythinga bout Cavaliers but I have a tough decision to make. this friend of mine wants to put turbos on it nad she is a pretty car but automatic so it will defin' sound cooler but I would hate to see what it does to the gages. Should I leave it as it is or do I cave and hook up the turbo??

What generation is the cavalier? I know a few turboed Z24's, but I've never seen an auto one and there just might be a good reason for it. If yours is 95-02 than I would think about getting a 5-speed tranny first...they are VERY cheap and than turbo it.

Don't bother turboing the '89...it won't survive

LMAO it's a new engine. Why wouldn't it survive. It's a 2.8 litre and has mean pick up and no governor at least I don't think it does[:-]

Don't get me wrong, but the 2.8L V-6 is not a turbo friendly engine. Plus you have an auto transmission... One of them is gonna go hella fast...

RE: how do I work this thing?
 
Actually turbo is better on an automatic transmission because it doesn't release as much boost pressure as when the clutch is disabled on a manual transmission. With my engine I could easily lower the compression with a head gasket and I wanted to put on two K03 k04 hybrid turbos.[:'(]

RE: how do I work this thing?
 
eeee.....I'm not sure why you thing that an auto is better for the turbo....especially that one in the cavalier, but what I meant by "not turbo friendly engine" wasn't the CR. The engine itself is gonna need A LOT of work in order to last with a turbo. I'm not saying don't do it, I'm saying it's gonna cost you a lot...may I suggest something before you do anything to that engine? Converting to a 3.1L should give you a noticable increase in power(and notice there is a crankshaft for a turbo 3.1 available)...here are the 2.8 specs and here are the 3.1 specs. If you are going to go turbo may I suggest that you get a transmission fluid cooler...I would still convert it to a 5-speed though...

in power delivery, an auto is better, but the reality of the make-up of an auto tranny means it wont last. this isnt an old-fashioned muscle car auto-trans. its not made to handle the power you would put through it with a turbo.

Not everyone is from the States. Just north of you in sunny Brampton. As for the Cavalier save your money and invest it into your Honda.
