so what would you do if you had an eco motor out of car w/ 150k miles on it and 3k to spend on it?
i need ideas, if there was something you would have done different on your jbod let me know.
 
New bearings, piston rings, delete the balance shafts act 6 puck dic upgrade and mp62 blower with a 3.0 pulley or lnf turbo setup.  Then depending hats left a racetronix fuel pump and harness and a quality hpt tune and  Of course I'd take my time to find some deals to save more cash.

it would be nice if you filled out your profile so we know what year car you have and what you have done to it already... please do this!!
 
 
i was thinkin naturally aspirated cause its still gonna be a daily driver
 
N/a or f/I doesn't matter if the tune is junk.......realistically what do you want out of this?
 
 
i actually just want a reliable fun car. i dont mind workin on it every now and then but seems like when u add boost everything goes to @#$%l. power wise i was lookin for 220 or so.
 
Yea, 220whp in a N/A cavalier is going to be crazy expensive and unreliable.  The GMPP Superchager kit(mp62) is VERY reliable and makes for a VERY fun daily.  It will also put you safely at your 220whp goal.  In the 4 years that i have had the kit on my car, the only breakdown was a freak tensioner failure.
 
 
220 at the crank can be done for under 3000k all-motor.
All-motor doesn't make for daily driver fun, you will have no low end power, so you will be going through traffic revving the ball bag out of your motor......like I do LOL
Trust me, a supercharged daily would be much funner.
 
 
id sell the whole car and upgrade
i take that back id buy for $3000 Mike Barr's....
$3000 has a built eco..would make a good daily or a good drag car..car was boosted not anymore..is a automatic..messege me if serious has tons of nice parts

This... my car sucks balls to daily... I have no power under 2800 RPM, it struggles to idle, and refuses to with the AC on.  I ended up buying a Daily Driver.
