so if you dont know my car is all apart right now

the block has been cleaned maged and bored .030 over
rods have been made round on the big end
the crank goes off to the machine shop wed. to be turned .010 x .010
the head ill be porting and what not some time soon

then ill be collecting all my GM stuff from a 97 cavalier 5 speed

so in other words my car should be done with in about 2 months give or take


on a plus note i got my other car running pretty good

any ways thanks
jonathan

Please forgive my ignorance, but what will you be using from the Cavalier?

ecu
harness
maf
map
crank trigger
coil packs


i know i know its sounds dumb but there a million gm's out there and it will be obd2 and cheap to tune.

the hole set up from my local yard will be less then a megasquirt system so....
thats what im doing now

Is that MAF or MAP or does the Cavalier have both? Also, is the CSM/DSM TPS compatible with the Cavalier electronics?

im using a 4g37 mani too for got to add that

dont know ill check that when i get to it if not ill run the cavi TPS
and yes it has both a MAF and a MAP

i do have to get a 3 bar map for any forced induction GM (grand national, turbo trans am, GTP and so on)

What are you going to do about the crank trigger? Does the Cavalier have a tone wheel machined into the crank itself, unlike the CSM/DSM crank, or are you going to do some CAS magic? I once again apologize for the questions but I have never seen or heard of someone trying this before.

yea i know no one has tried or have even thought of it before or will after me

it has a crank trigger wheel pressed on one of the counter weights all i need to know is the
air gap between sensor and wheel and position of wheel in relation to number one

questions are fine bring them on maybe youll think of something i havent

(although i have been thinking about this for about 8 months)

heavy on the pics if you can please

no problem evo

once my parts start to come together ill heavy up the pics

Definately man, now you've got me interested.

Alright, so are you going to attempt to fit the GM tone ring to the Mitsu crank or are you going to attempt to machine the Mitsu crank to have teeth like the GM tone ring? Does the cavalier just not have a CAS at all?

Ok im taking the ring itself (its its own seperate part) and making external.

And no it doesnt have a cas the 98's do but even if it does have a cas i dont need it.
the only time its used is for start up it sync's the firing order faster if its not there its just
one full revolution for the computer to know where number one is

glad to see i have everyones attention

Feels good to be the center of attention huh?

nice work junk yard, guess i should be checking in more often, it sounds sweet, you will need to keep me up to date, i will be following in your footsteps, ( if i dont blow the 32 up first, and put in a twin cam) no really! any way drop me a line i would love to hear more.

That sounds really cool. I can't wait to see the build pics. So you're going to press the tone wheel off the crank, and mount it on your harmonic balancer? I like how you think. Measure the depth through the hole in the block before you pull the crank from the 2.2L. Then just make the CKP sensor bracket adjustable for fine adjustments.

The donor's an ecotec engine right?
