Love it! Would like to do the same on my LN2-powered S-truck, so what all in the way of parts did you use for this (Details, please!).
Go beyond the "bolt-on".
update on numbers
also can you post a pic of the intake?
Josh wrote:update on numbers

No numbers as of yet. The new engine only has 250 miles on it. Gonna get a few more break in miles and all the driveability done before I strap it down... Here are some pics of the intake...

amazing
no oil issues to speak of?
Not really. I have a little bit getting past the seals, but I also have a high volume oil pump. Gonna try a restrictor and may end up rebuilding the turbo for the hell of it. Its very minute though.... We have driven it from STL to Ohio a few times with no issues at all...

Ok, first off let me start by saying the installation looks clean. Props to you on that. But my only question is why a rear mount? I understand when cars have space issues and can not fit a turbo set up in the engine bay. However we both know thats not the case with a cavalier. Just wondering what made you go rear mount as opposed to front mount.

Good question! And to be totally honest, this is what she wanted. She wanted something different.

That's cool. Glad you didn't take my question as me trying to be a d!ck. I have just always been under the impression that the length of the intercooler piping plays an important role in spooling a turbo. So under that pretence I would assume there would be more lag depending on size of turbine.
Looks good tho man!
Can you give us any more info on the oiling system? and how did you mount the turbo to that "pad" ?

The oiling system....
The pump is a RB-Racing pump. Not the cheapest, but it is the best! Please note we have driven the car from STL to Ohio a few times, no issues at all. This is the key component to making all this work..... It is also the same pump that STS uses in their kits. (Thanks Pute!)

As for the turbo mounting, we fabbed up a mount that is welded to the frame. Plenty of support to hold up the weight of the turbo.

man thats a clean setup but you guys dont have clearance issues ??? i mean its close to the rear "axle" bar and im sure going over bumps is not exactly fun
RIP JESSE GERARD.....Youll always be in my thoughts and prayers...
STS should make a deal with you, man... ^That is perfection!

None at all....
wow very impressive man...props to both of you for a stellar build
RIP JESSE GERARD.....Youll always be in my thoughts and prayers...
nice build but i must make this statement. it only makes 2 psi boost because there isnt enough exhaust flow to spin the turbo and the compressor side of the turbo has to fill all the boost pipes plus an intercooler. that is a lot of volume to fill. rear mounted turbo systems are great for low boost applications on big v6/v8 engines where exhaust flow isnt a problem. on a 4 cylinder engine the exhaust flow slows down drastically as the exhaust is a lot cooler from travelling that long distance. that is why you dont see STS selling kits for 4 cylinder vehicles.
two recommendation:
one: since you have the turbo you can remove the muffler. the turbo acts as a muffler so it wont be very loud and you may be able to get a little more boost out of it with out spraying.
second: since its a rear mounted turbo there is no need for an intercooler as the long boost pipes act as a cooler. i would change the boost pipe from steel to aluminum since it dissipates heat better and it is a lot lighter. the added weight doesnt seem to justify the little boost your making.
either way.. very impressive.

Where the hell do you come off thinking it only makes 2 psi? The car has been pushing 12-15 psi at ease since completed. I really find it humorous that you appear to be trying to "school" me on how forced induction works. I am well aware on how it works. Maybe you have not seen my work or heared of my "mad skillz" m/ Also, STS does sell a universal kit. There would be no point in making a dedicated kit due to most 4cyl owners are a bunch of cheap asses, not because a 4cyl can't produce the power...

1. The muffler is not restricting anything. 98% of the time the car is not sprayed. The bottle is on for track use and is very helpfull with a killer launch with this POS auto trans....
2. I understand this also. If you would have read this whole thread, and looked at the pictures in detail, you would understand why I chose to run the FMIC. As stated before, I am well aware on how all of this works. The SS pipes are not as heavy as you think, and the cost factor is way less than aluminum. I still don't understand where you are coming up with these "little boost" ideas/comments....

you and this user posted this info. the reply under this one said it needed more boost and that was the end of it. you never posted it was making more boost. if your making 12-15 psi then props to you. i was just stating the info above by the info that was posted. its a damn nice setup but it just looks like all that weight added to the vehicle doesnt seem worth it. reguardless of my opinion, its a damn nice build. i had no intention of questioning your "mad skillz"
but there is always a learning curve on a build reguardless of an individuals skills. my mistake. rep on your build.

That was a misprint by my wife, and yes I DO have Mad Skillz
.... BTW, its not really that much added weight.... Besides, its a street car not a racecar.....
