Hey everyone I'm really looking into boosting my stock 2200 sfi motor in my cavalier.
I am very familiar with turbo's and turbocharged vehicles this will be mine 4th custom turbo'd vehicle. From my knowledge of Boosted hondas and other cars I'm sure it wont be to tough but i just have some basic questions of where would I get oil feed? if i were to not buy a oil filter sandwich. Also the coolant bar that runs across the top of the header on the front of the motor what do I have to do with that and the oil dipstick? I plan on making custom charge piping. I dont believe there are any bolt on kits. Is there and cheap fuel management units you guys would recommend?
Any other heads up on boosting these cars? please fill me in im always open to suggestions!
Also Where can i find cheap hids for my car it is a 2000 Cavalier with the 2200 motor
As of now my cars mod list is as follows
Smoked Tails
Catback exhaust
Custom Aem CAI
Kenwood deck
2 10 Inch kenwood subs
Battery relocation to trunk
Black Z24 wheels
im sure there is more just cant think of them

Also the coolant bar that runs across the top of the header on the front of the motor what do I have to do with that and the oil dipstick leave the coolant crossover, the dipstick needs to be chopped and rotated in most situations (also most people weld a drain bung on the dipstick tube since it is big enough, instead of welding to the pan) ? I plan on making custom charge piping. I dont believe there are any bolt on kits. no, there are no pipe-only bolt on kits Is there and cheap fuel management units you guys would recommend don't use a fmu, use HP Tuners and bigger injectors?

you can run up to about 250-275 WHP on stock components, with a decent amount of security

Seems like you have done some research and found what needs to be modified. Sounds like you know what your doing.
Good luck, and have fun.
Sounds like you did more research than most!
Also, since you have a 2000, I would highly recommend using the LD9 SC Reflash and a 2 Bar MAP to better tune with HPT....
P&P Tuning
420.5whp / 359.8wtq
Thanks for the quick responses guys! Good Idea with the dipstick for return line I will deff do that.
If anyone else can give me some pointers with the turbo build please lmk I will post pics of my car sometime today.
Ryan would you help me with my hp tuners file ?
Anyone have pics of the oil dipstick for their turbo 2200? Much appreciated

It doesn't need to be exactly like that, but you get the basic idea. And no, my compressor housing is not yellow, it is just the flash of the camera
I had to cut off the bracket off, cut the tube in half, rotate the two sections relative to one another, and re-weld the bracket on in the spot that gave the correct rotation. Then weld the bung on.
Alright kinda getting the concept here. Im not getting it to well with this picture can you give me maybe a little better idea of how to do it. Sorry for the troubles but I like to know everything im going to run it to before i actually wrench it apart. Also the stupid plastic RAM AIR system on the front of my car needs to go. I see that it is just held on by rivets of my knowledge is this correct? or how would i get the plastic off the front support beam.
I dont know if this will be any help but look at this thread... lots of pictures from my build..... and a whole lotof wishing, wanting and changing directions on my part as well..
My 2200T Build
There is another angle. The bung is welded on the bottom of the tube.
For the crash padding, yes they are attached with rivets. I was able to wedge a chisel between the plastic and the metal crash beam and break the rivets.
Just saw that the picture didn't work.
