Hi guys im new to the site and i have just recently fried my motor i drive a 90 cavalier z24, and was curious if i could just swap the motor out to a turbo 3.1 "tgp", and yes i would tune the car, o and my cars a 5 speed. Thanks Randy
Should bolt right up...just be sure to reuse your old motor mounts...
the engine will bolt in fine since it's just a regular 3.1.. you will have problems with the turbo crossover. it will have to be modified to move it foreward of the transmition mount a little.
make sure you get the wiring harness and ECM from the turbo car. there is a patch for the TGP bimary file to change it to a manual trans.
You will also need a clutch that will hold up to 200+ HP, check out the stage 3 group buy on V6Z24:
