Im hoping to have it ready in the next two months. I still have some work to do, finish the charge pipes, mount a BOV, build a exhaust etc. I like to think im close to being done though lol

what all fabbing did u have to do to get them to mount up? did u make custom brackets?
TOSLO5O wrote:what all fabbing did u have to do to get them to mount up? did u make custom brackets?
Yes, I had to make custom brackets from scratch. They are too wide for the floor pan on the cavalier. There is zero room beside the seats and they cant go down any further the way I have them. Id honestly look for some different seats if I were you. I got them for nothing so it wasnt a big deal for me but if I did it again Id be looking for some that are not as wide. I do enjoy them now that they are in there though. As far as fabbing.....made a square out of metal and made some legs from that to bolt up to the cavy locations......It was a pain in the a**

damn... i think the cobalt seats will possibly be able to fit, have an idea that they will but i havnt really got up to a cobalt close enough to compare n contrast. its funny that im a chick and know wat every damn word is and means on this entire forum... and im not a dike, nor ugly. LOL!

the cobalt seats will fit but they are not bolt in, do a search and you will see. Also you claim not to be ugly if this is true post pics so we believe you.. and Cleancavy its looking good man I only have one question why did you go with SS instead of aluminum for your piping?

I really have no idea lol. I guess its just personal prefference. A friend of mine did his piping all in 304ss and I thought it turnded out really nice. He also had some peices left over so I got myself started with some already. Plus I want to do the exhaust in ss so I figured why not match the charge piping
One side is all done. Welding it tonight

i only posted that pic cuz they told me to. but yeah im gonna look into the cobolt seats, no matter what there's gonna be customization in something thats not original from a cavalier, i'd love to have heated leather seats like a possible trans am/camaro seat... but its all into what u know and how to do it and what u have to work with. my cav's coming along, i recently just got a header, downpipe, carbon fiber hood, & projector headlights.

Holly random for sure lol
TOSLO5O- Id go with some Recaro balt seats if I were you. They are dead sexy seats. Im not to sure how wide they are but I do remember a post with them in a cav, you may have to do some searching. Good luck, if you do get ahold of some post up some pics Id love to see them

damn thanks. so i guess im gonna go with the 4speed auto, cuz mines a 3 speed auto will be alot easier n cheaper... but i dos till want to convert the 5speed manual... would love to do the g6 gtp 6speed manual.. that'd be amazing. but too expensive for me. got the 3400... needs a new crank and rods.. since its knocking... came out of 3500gtp's cav... gonna try n rebuild it since he's dropping the 3500 into his. will def keep ya updated with the swap! thank u for the advice.. ur car's pretty sick onecleancav
^^^You go premium and join AG.
I like the car man. Keep up the good work.
Charge pipes are almost done. Just need a few more welds and then I can start on the exhaust........the end is near
Intake side pipes finished
Hot side
What is the best place to mount the BOV? Hot side or cold side? Closer to the turbo the better? Im hearing mixed answers out there.

Mount the bov on the cold side pipe before it goes into the fender. You want it closer to the tb than the hot side, in most cases its about 6-10" from the tb.
^Like MIke said.
See my SIG for reference

So just curious, whats the reasoning behind this? Better response from the turbo?
Thanks for the positive coments guys

^^ I think it's because its where the air is coming into the engine.
Hell I dunno lol, wish I knew the technical reasoning for it.

Doesnt the BOV require a vacuum source? Farther away from TB means less vacuum and a slower response? Idk. Just guessing
