I am turboin my cavalier 2.4l and i want to know wat kind of pistons i can get
i want to get turbo, new pistons, rods, and sleave my block and cams with 10 psi. want to know what kind of pistons are good for turbo.
Sounds like this will be your first turbo setup?
If so boost the stock motor for a while. Work out the bugs, learn how to tune, get used to the car boosted. Then build a motor.
2.4s are a closed deck block no need to sleeve for quite a while. The 2.4 block is one of the stronger points of the motor.

will a stock 2.4 motor be fine with a turbo on it and how many psi should i run
you should research that and then post it here... look for how much horsepower your engine can handle with a stock long block, not how much boost.

you could have 250 at 15psi or 5psi or 20 psi... every setup with yeild different results.... so the highest safe hp to go to on the stock long block on a 2.4l is 250hp you are saying... interesting... i have a lot to read up on now that my good friend is turboing his jbody
(he has the 2.4l)
