Just videos fixing, building, or doing whatever stuff needs doing.
Performance automotive is the main thing here, but I do other stuff to help the family, like all the good husbands, dads, grandpas and brothers out there!
Sometimes I get it on video and share my stupidity with the world!
Hopefully it helps someone else and thanks for stopping by!

Wanted to try the 87 vs 93 octane video again and it turned out much better in my opinion. But let me know what you think!! Update: After 3 days and over 2000 views!! Thanks everyone!! I got the idea for this video after reading up on ignition timing and came across a MototTrend article stating high octane burns slower than low octane. So I decided to try and do a very simple experiment, but ap...

I love you did this... It'd only be better with the square rims for the street of course
@@trunk8d I do still have the rims. Not sure if I have the square centers though. Thanks!
Why
@@TheMontagGarage why not?? I already built a 3.1 turbo before this so all the information was already there.
@xlr8ing_zgarage why short shift 2nd like that
@@TheMontagGarage one of the first times really pushing it so I screwed it up being really anxious. You can see my leg start to lift in 3rd gear but decided to stay with it and see what happens!
@@xlr8ing_zgarage atleast youre honest, I was actually curious if that was how short the gears were
@ thanks! No need for me to BS. I always want to tell it like it is on my channel. Thanks!
z24 is under rated car very lite cars
@@allenmoses3631 for sure!
Do you plan on doing weight reduction?
@@jacksonl1060 thanks! As for weight reduction I’m trying to do things within reason. My carpet was removed because it was garbage anyway. That weighed 27 lbs. Headliner got wrecked from the sunroof leaking. Not sure how much it weighed. My current rims/slicks are 8 lbs lighter than my old ones. I’ve kept the stock seats and rear seats in for now because I do still take the kids for drives occasionally.
@@xlr8ing_zgarage cool build! Keep it up
@@jacksonl1060 thanks!! Appreciate it!
Well well well, speak of the devil.
That would have been awesome factory built Z24 Cavalier if GM would have built it and Pontiac Sunbird GT or Formula back in the 80’s and 90’s
I subscribed brother
Thanks Bob and thanks for the your videos!!
You Sir have the Epitome of what is known as a SLEEPER! That HCat was poo PN itslef for the first 1/8th mile. Well Done! Keep up the Good Work.
Appreciate it!! Thanks!!
So awesome, I gave up on my 3400-3500 swapped z24 dreams long ago. This makes me so happy to see. I always thought the equinox that had the 3500 with the intake that's backwards would be great for it. How many 60degreev6 people are reading this haha
Thank you!!
I have a gm 3900 and was thinking about boosting it.
One of my favourite expressions, boost fixes everything!
As a friend told me yesrs ago. Of your going to go mean!, Better have the green 💚
Could you bore the cylinders up enough to sleave it back to a 3.1 bore size ? Or would it bore to thin on the wall of the water jacket to be safe?
Thank you! The block was already bored out once 0.5mm so I didn’t want to do it again and I already had a 3400 back up plan! Lol!!
Well that sucked ! I'm buying a 1989 z24 . Unfortunately it has the 2.8. But I can switch that out or bore it up. I had the 3.1 in my last 89 z24. Both did and do have the 5 speed at least. I was going to tell you that I did trash the 2nd gear cincros in mine to back in 1998. Winding up the rpms to high before shifting. They don't seem to like that shit to much. Yeah no my X traded my Z in for a 99 lumina. I wasn't exactly excited about that little surprise. I had my z since 1993. And I still loved that car. I was no where even ready or thinking about getting rid of it. She was just to much fun. An a great looking car too. And that happened in Geneva, NY in 2002. Well earlier this week a guy sent me a message back, from a message I put on his archive about a torch read 1989 z24 I mentioned I love to have figuring he had already sold. He offered it to me for $700.00. I'm in texas now and the car is in Pennsylvania. I'm going to have it shipped here. She needs a title and some work. I'm looking forward to it. Years ago I was looking for the turbo setup they did on the Pontiac grand prix back in the late 80's. But could find out anything back then. 300 hp out of 140hp engine!That's impressive for that car. The pull has got to be Amazing
Whats your goal with the datsun? Drag? street? track? Drift? Anyway, u got a new sub
Thank you! Goal is to make it a fun cruiser with enough power to move quickly but nothing crazy for now.
I had three z24s over the years my 98 was a 2.4 wasn't a bad driver. My 92 was a 5 speed 2.8 leather seats charcoal Grey.
Almost traded my 91 Cav RS for a 98 Z24 when they were new. Glad I didn’t but I still like them! Thanks!
Hopefully the new tach adds 10 hp. Nice meeting you today.
@@archiebald9500 thanks again!! Hope so too!!
You on E85 or water meth?
Just 94 octane. Meth kit is getting installed this winter. No E85 available in my area.
@@xlr8ing_zgarage Toluene time!
This is awesome, love to see these cars boosted. I have a drivers side headlight if you want 😂
@@cavulture thanks!! I might just take you up on that!!

This is the 80’s pocket rocket Z24 and it’s amazing
@@calvincrews3885 thank you!!
This video was quite the Inspiration! Good job to you sir! If it was me on spark plugs, I'd get Iriduims and gap em to 0.065, you have the good wires, but how bout those ZZPERFORMANCE 3800 coils???🤔 Also definitely need Z24 vs Hellcat part 2! Can you Pull it Off?!?!
@@gtaashwagandhaman7551 thanks!! Not sure on the bigger gap. Likely wouldn’t gain much if any power and more risk of spark blowing out under boost. If I have the chance to race the Hellcat again I’ll definitely try!!
This is a cool car. Keep it up.
@@projecttank21 thanks!
I bet the hellcat owner was a little worried when you got out on him! 😂
Man that thing is making some really good power. Great job.
Thanks 👍
The fact you said those cap screws had recently been done is why it was so easy. I have one that has original components. It is extremely difficult to remove these bolt. There is no way to do so with a ratchet
You have the Beretta GTZ 4th gear on that?! You needed 5th gear to complete the pass?! JESUS
Thanks! It’s just on the verge of shifting and not shifting. If it had a better camshaft it would help to rev it out more but it falls off after 6000. Just at the track last weekend and ran two runs back to back, one stayed in 4th, next shifted to 5th and both runs were 12.48.
Yep... I know my next swap now 😅
Hey man big fan here...I've owned 6 Z24s in my life had 2 of em that ran extremely better than the other's. My 89Z I always wanted to turbo can only imagine what it feels like in the car with that power. Keep it up bro
@@eddieborden4681 6 Z24s?? That’s awesome!! Appreciate the support and thanks!!!
I have a getreg new ventra 282 if you are interested. Internal slave. I have the phantom grip insert installed on it. Clutch masters dual friction clutch.
@@mylifeintexas thanks but depends where you’re located. I’m sure my current transmission has limited life expectancy! Thanks!!
@@xlr8ing_zgarage Houston Texas. I didn’t put many miles on this one. I went back to the auto cause traffic here is horrible and I was driving my gagt daily. I have the grand am gt so I had to modify it to fit and work.
@@mylifeintexas thanks! But shipping to Canada would be ridiculous! Awesome that you manual swapped the Grand Am though!!
@@xlr8ing_zgarage Yeah I wasn’t sure where you were located. I have it if you need it. Not on the market. Still got the gagt still, 24 going on 25 years now. Bought back in 2000.
I miss my old Z, 88 vert convertible. However, you’re making me want to turbo my 5 speed LQ1 GTP 8)
Awesome!! The turbo really wakes them up!! But it takes some work. Thanks!!
Your spare seems to be from a W-Body Buick Regal
Thanks but that rim with the slicks is actually from an old Daytona Shelby from what I’m told.
@@xlr8ing_zgarage You're right !
Wow was this a 1/8 mile track or 1/4 ? . My 85 S10 2.8 4-speed did a 12 sec even in 1/8 mile
@@KnuckleHeadGarage27 this is a 1/4 mile track. It did the 1/8 mile in 8.26 seconds at 89.6 mph.
@@xlr8ing_zgarage Ah I see , Dang I need a turbo added to get her up and going a Tad quicker then for sure but I guess it's not bad for what 112HP besides OBX Headers and ignition upgrade . I have a 3.4 I just picked up I'm planning on doing and adding a comp cam and the dual plane intake with the 390cfm 4 barrel Holley Carb . I'm unsure which cam kit to get tho for it yet theres apparently a good few different ones they show
Everybody needs a turbo!! Lol!!
Why Baldwin Motion couldn’t build a fwd hot rod Cavalier at least as a concept for the eighties even slp could have at least built some too in that era
That Nova is a twin to mine. Good pass Franz!
You are having the same problem that I had with Wagonstein and pretty much every other turbo V6 J body. Lack of traction. The guy that I sold Wagonstein to later told me that he eliminated most of the traction problems by adjusting the suspension. He tightened the rebound on the front shocks which helped to decrease front end lift upon acceleration. He then tightened the bound on the rear suspension which helped to stop the back of the car from squatting upon acceleration. These suspension changes coupled with sticky tires helped to limit traction problems to 1st gear, and only part of 2nd gear. Another possibility is tuning the boost curve to slowly ramp up the boost upon the 1st to 2nd and the 2nd to 3rd gear shift. This will limit the torque during these times which will give more traction. It will in turn lower your MPH at the end of the track, but it should also slightly lower the ET as well. Overall though, you made 3 good passes, AND you were able to drive home, AND the car is in the 12s!! I would say that is a successful night at the track!!! Congrats!
@@91CavGT5 thanks! Exactly right! FWD traction is always a problem. I’ve got airbags in the rear which helps but still squats and bounces back too much. And I’ve got Koni adjustable struts that I can tighten up, but I’m sure they are due for a rebuild. And my MS2 system doesn’t have boost by gear unfortunately. Have to upgrade for that. Thanks!
Without looking it up, I'd say those are Buick regal rims or maybe LA Sabre or something like that.. Great passes man, absolutely hauling @ $$ !! Lmao what's with this guy?
"What's with this guy?" LOL. He wasn't reacting to your run. Something on his radio was bugging him
Lol!! Was wondering about that
I was hoping there was no cars stuck in the shut down lane after you sent it
Those look like late 80's Shelby Dodge Daytona wheels... 😎
Nice to see it making passes again!
Thanks!! Glad you actually got to see the car this time!
@@xlr8ing_zgarage hopefully I will have something that will be able to give you a good run next year! 😆
That would be great!!
I had to do the same thing when I ran 3.4 DOHC injectors years ago!
Great vid. Looking forward to seeing 1/4 Mile pulls!
I too had a failure, with the convertible. Went out to crank the car and encountered a crank, no start. Noticed right away I didn't hear the pump prime. A blessing to say the least, as it failed in the driveway. Ordered a pump assembly that should be here tomorrow. The tank is full of gas, of course. But I believe I can lower the tank with a transmission jack without too much trouble.
@@ButchNackley of course! They always fail when the tank is full! Good luck!!
Bro I love your videos please keep it coming
Thank you! Appreciate it!
She. I tuned the 3.1 in my old wagon, the cold start tune was the hardest and took the most time to get dialed in. That was the only part of tuning that I didn’t like doing! It sounds and seems to be running good! It’s good to see it back on the road!
That’s one high performance Cavalier Z24 that can run with the big dogs and a fwd version of the Camaro Z28 which is the opposite direction both by Chevrolet
Nice!!! Gotta love the torque of the 3400 plus boost!!!
Here's your love! Let's see them 1/4 mile times now😍, and what is the 0-60??🫣
@@gtaashwagandhaman7551 thanks!! Previous best 0-60 on slicks was 4.5 seconds on the 3.1 turbo. Traction will be a limiting factor for sure!
@xlr8ing_zgarage Toyo Proxes R888 I believe, however, Sumitomo HTR A/S PO2, Had some incredible grip performance, an unspeakable grip for radials🤔
So in my FB memories today was you blowing the engine up 1 year ago and me towing you home. Thats a damn good turnaround time for it.
@@danscustomprojects4486 Yep! Good timing for this video! And thanks as always for your help!!
Living the dream!
It is awesome to see you got it back together and driving. It sounds absolutely perfect! It burns through the gears really quick. 🖤
