Is NOPI the only parts supply where i can order?

[madking411]

Parts for my car?? I've looked many times, and NOPI doesnt have any GOOD parts for my car anymore....They have mostly body kits, and suspension parts, but no engine upgrades other than injectors...Are they the only place where I can order parts, in the area?? I'd really like to start workin on my engine, but I dont know where to begin ordering parts from...

Its a Pontiac 2.2L OHV engine...

[cactusEG]

nope, u can get parts at summit racing..

[Kyle]

Are there not pontiac or chevy forums where you could ask? I'm sure their are some sites specific to cavaliers/sunfires.

He didnt ask for forums... he asked for stores. even tho he can find things there too.

Not really......There IS one, but the main thing they do is focus on the ECOtechs....im tryin to build a non-eco engine. Yes, Weird i know. I dont care. I just want parts for power!!:tongue1:

[TheProfiteer]

lol not gonna get much power out of that thing man

Turbo is probably the only way to gain anything significant.

google whatever parts you want, youll find them eventually lol

I know this, but I'm saying they should be able to help him out and link him good sites. :cheers:

[JITB]

and anyway most local shops arent gonna carry or be able to give you good prices on sunfire specific parts. most shops only deal with popular brand cars.... but if they do it wont be as cheap as you can get off the net somewhere..

[madking411]

lol not gonna get much power out of that thing man

Turbo is probably the only way to gain anything significant.

Yeah, i know this....but, until i save up a couple thousand, im gonna be trying to work on the engine a little bit....

[iNsTuN nOoDoH]

shoot nitrous, I'm sure Nopi sells it

[Nemesis]

People still shop at Nopi? LOLOLOLOL


Summit is to Wal-Mart, as Nopi is to K-Mart

[Black4DrEK]

just order online parts.

[madking411]

shoot nitrous, I'm sure Nopi sells it

NOOOooooo............:no:
I'm not blowin my engine up for just a little bit of extra power...Or, reducing its life, or reliability....im gonna stick to parts that'll keep my car on gasoline.

[Footefan52]

Build your own turbo manifold and boost it yourself. Way more justifying

[madking411]

Idunno how to weld, I dont have any access to a welder, and im not that good at engine building....

I do wanna try boosting it myself though.....instead of getting a kit.

Dude...Nitrous is your best bang for the buck, if you set it up properly, you won't have any issues with it as long as you don't go ape**** spraying everywhere you go.

lmao! Thats what i'am sayin

Well, im not sure how to set it up, and i dont know where i can get it set up....PROPERLY that is...

I think we have a set of Sunfire headers, oddly enough, at our shop. Try e-mailing [email protected] if you are interested.

on headers?? Why shouldn't I??

On any kind of "performance" upgrades to your motor...

[madking411]

On any kind of "performance" upgrades to your motor...

How come?:thinking: :???:

[gtikid]

How come?:thinking: :???:

Because in the end you'll just be wasting your money and you won't get the power/money ratio that you invested into it. There's a reason you don't see a lot of those cars racing or hear about those motors.

BUT...if you do want some gain, like everyone else said, nitrous would be the way to go

[madking411]

Well...lets see....so far, i've spent $102.00 on upgrades, and i can only guess....that i've gotten a gain of ~14 - 16HP more than stock......

And, i raced a bolt-on Integra(intake, exhaust) and pulled EVEN with it from 40 - 80, and those put out ~170 HP right...? So, i dont know if that means anything, but i think the mods might actually be working okay for me...But idunno....does that sound good?

you dont exactly have a motor or car that is supported or known for anything. Maybe thats why its hard to find stuff.

just save money for boost, seriously everything else is a waste.... you could have one mean ass sunfire.

THAT is what i want....lol

cept, i want it runnin sleeper-style, cuz im gonna stick with my steelie wheels

[quickdodge®]

I wouldn't consider boosting my Pontiac. If you wanted a fast car, you wouldn't have opted for the Ecotec engine. I have the same engine. Some nice rims, a drop and you have a nice, low cruiser. Plus, you start going into the engine with turbos, you're asking for added maintenance and repairs. Later, QD.

well, its already a nice low cruiser....only part missing from that is a nice set of wheels, but i dont really care...

And, as far as ''opt''ing for the different engine...the cirumstances sorta didnt allow me to choose between engines, because i immediately needed another car to replace my corolla as a DailyDriver...and we ran into the pontiac and swooped it up for $500

And, i dont mind extra maintenence...and as far as repairs go? Exactly what kind of repairs are we talkin about??

[quickdodge®]

You don't have to go aftermarket for nice wheels. I just upgraded from factory SE wheels to GT and made a world of difference. And for only $250 for wheels and tires.


And, i dont mind extra maintenence...and as far as repairs go? Exactly what kind of repairs are we talkin about??

Turbos and systems are high maintenance and require constant(pretty much) supervision. Plus on an Ecotec, you probably need to redo all the internals. Of course I'm not telling you what to do, but from a practical viewpoint, I wouldn't put that kind of money in that car. Hail, if you want to upgrade HP, do IHE and a pulley and bigger carb and call it a day. Later, QD.

Dude you gotta pontiac just stop right there sell it and go buy yourself a new car

[unc25]

I know your looking for performance stuff, but you should really stop worrying about doing anything until you have done some research.

There is a ton of information out there, you just have to find out what works.
Check out http://www.j-body.org/index.php

there is nothing wrong with this car.if i had it i would run a remote mount turbo with about 6-8psi .you can do that if you wanted.and i dont mean a sts kit.but its not my car.i drive a tbird hahaha and it sucks

[quickdodge®]

Yeah, because we all know a Honda CIvic is a "real" car. Dumbass, shut the **** up. Later, QD.

yea u need to hit up jbody, that platform has been around for awhile, im sure all theinformation you need is on jbody.org like me and others have mentioned..

[madking411]

Well, its strange though...everywhere i keep on reading that my block can only handle 4psi un-tuned and still be reliable...:ninja: They also say, that i can run up to 7psi on my stock block and still have it reliable...with a GOOD tune...

So, im not 100% sure if it'd be worth it or not...4 - 7psi would get me about how much extra power...??

[GaGen2Teg]

Sorry i dont drive a civic and i really dont care about them. i just meant he could upgrade to something else imo and i never said it had to be a honda. but whatever g/l with whatever you do

i think it would be worth it.but not if your buying a 3000.00 turbo kit.you can peice one together for a lot less just because its not all the same brand does not make it junk.
i know you have a pontiac and im talkin about a honda but my old ef with a zc swap and 7psi put down right at 200whp with a very mild tune,stock the motor at the flywheel was i think 125hp to the ground maybe 95-100hp so look at the gains..with tuning i might have had 550.00 in the kit oh and i ran a very small t25 turbo thats what i would reccomend for you if you do it, if not that then a little t3. good luck being different people always get shot down for being different :)

[§treet_§peed]

lol run your car off a cliff collect insurance money then buy a civic

Well, that WOULD be nice to do, except, i dont know what ALL the pieces are that i need to get...I do have a list of stuff that i can get my hands on from j-body.org, but, it doesnt include ALL the parts that i'll need. I would still need a bit of assistance with gatherin everything...(And, i think i wanna run non-intercooled because, theres no GOOD spot on my car to mount the cooler up on)

[Blitanicle99]

Screw your motor. Drive it like hell and save up for a chevy 4.3 and drop that **** in there.

[madking411]

I just read that 4psi can get me ~180HP......

how does 180hp feel in a car that weighs about ~3,000lbs???

Sorry i dont drive a civic and i really dont care about them. i just meant he could upgrade to something else imo and i never said it had to be a honda. but whatever g/l with whatever you do
