Re: Cavalier V6 Jenvey Throttle Bodies
love the idea but ouch thats expensive,what about using a pair of triples from triumph bike possibly
Re: Cavalier V6 Jenvey Throttle Bodies
Very interested in going down the throttle body route or even supercharger. money isn't really an issue so fire away with the ideas. if i need standalone management would I not be best going for a 3.0l first?

Re: Cavalier V6 Jenvey Throttle Bodies
emerald management would be good, you might also want to think about reinforcing the engine with c20let pistons and getting a strengthened crank etc if you're going down a big power route. depends, eaton supercharger is available (m62?) which would be great, it's just that a lot of people say for the expense and the gains that you'd be better of getting a c20let and tuning that, but it all depends on what you're after. i love the idea of squeezing as much as poss out of a n/a v6 lump.
Re: Cavalier V6 Jenvey Throttle Bodies
Been speaking with one of my mates and he reckons he will be able to fabricate anything I need to fit the supercharger, would it be better in the long run to get a 3.0l engine, rebuild that with uprgraded internals prior to slapping a charger on it? to be honest I am not interested in the LET, pure N/A grunt all the way for me.

Re: Cavalier V6 Jenvey Throttle Bodies

Re: Cavalier V6 Jenvey Throttle Bodies
you could use a 3.0 out of the box which would give you more torque as well as top end bhp alternatively chuck the 3.0 upgrades on to your 2.5, depends what's available really. the bits you need to fabricate will be exactly the same between the 2.5 and 3.0 anyway as it's really only the bottom end that would change in this application.
what are your timescales for starting work?

Re: Cavalier V6 Jenvey Throttle Bodies
I think the throttle bodies would be the more unique route, don't think I have seen anyone on the forums that has done it to a cavalier, can you imagine the sound
timescale wise, well RAF life sends me down south in September, will be there for some time so the cavalier will be at home, I will most likely start my parts collection then and start on the cavalier once I get back home again.

Re: Cavalier V6 Jenvey Throttle Bodies
define 'down south'?!
i don't recall a v6 on tb's in a cavalier that's true, would be a good project.

Re: Cavalier V6 Jenvey Throttle Bodies
There's nae one with a gsi on throttle Bodies never mind a v6! There was a dude on vvoc doing it on a v6 tbh looked a lot of hassle much Easyer on the valverV6power wrote:I think the throttle bodies would be the more unique route, don't think I have seen anyone on the forums that has done it to a cavalier, can you imagine the sound

Re: Cavalier V6 Jenvey Throttle Bodies
off to Halton, Aylesbury for just shy of 3 months, then back up to Boulmer for atleast a year unless I am lucky enough to get a detachment oversea's which I doubt since our government is chopping all funds for the forces. The cavalier will be kept at home, we live in the sticks so its safer there, can't nick what you can't find

what about this kit? most parts are supplied really, emerald ECU, throttle bodies, fuel rail, injectors etc. would most prob need some sort of manifold made up for the throttle bodies but hey cheaper than the Jenvey kit.

Re: Cavalier V6 Jenvey Throttle Bodies
would you be able to close the bonnet with those big ass things sticking up?
Re: Cavalier V6 Jenvey Throttle Bodies
very much doubt it, a scoop would look gay, would have to look into the idea of getting a bulge in the bonnet to compensate for clearance.
