      I know the 3.4 V6 will fit. The 3.8 V6 series 2 with or without the supercharger will fit with some work to the motor mounts. The 3.8 with the supercharger is what I would probably get. Then I would rebuild from the bottom up with stronger internals and swap out the supercharger with a single turbo…that’s a money no option kinda thing tho. Cheaper way that would work at this moment is to take out a 2.4 DOHC from a junk cavalier or sunfire and rebuild from bottom up and put a turbo on that. Also rebuild trans due to a bad second gear synchro and make it limited slip with stronger axles and stage 3 clutch and a short throw shifter. I priced it out to be somewhere around 5k before tuning. That also doesn’t include some labor on some things that I wouldn’t be able to do.

      What are your plans on your cavalier ekalb1027?

            Why is a daily driver a no-no for a project? Jw

                More of a turbo guy. 😉

                I want top end speed. Going for the one mile drag versus the quarter mile, lol!

                    My thoughts exactly! Ultimate sleeper that is rear wheel drive with 400+ horses under the hood…I’m thinking turbos also, lol!

                        Ya I know it really wouldn’t be worth it, but I plan on keeping this car for as long as I can and I want to have a “project” car. Seeing as I already have this one and there isn’t anyone in the area I live in that has modified a sunfire I really want to do this. I’ve seen a lot of modified cavaliers and the are pretty close in layout as the sunfire, so I figured that it could potentially be an easy mod…over time.

                            Well they were working properly before hand, which is why I thought it was blown bulbs.

                                Here’s the full diagram…but where do I find where the ground is actually located without tearing through the car to follow wires?
