Thread: 3800SC Cavalier

Anthony: thank you very much for the help. Happy to see someone else supporting my zeitronix purchase on that note my AEM with only 500miles is for sale

At the moment I don't plan to go the can route. I know how the car tuning bug goes and as soon as I get obd2 and a good tune I'll want more but I'm going to try and resist that. I have a daily driver tiburon, and a winter car, and a motorcycle so got to cut myself off somewhere

I see zzp has the plog, ceramic coated crossover, and ported rear mani? Think that's way to go? Will that crossover actually do anything for me?

Mr party pooper in to comment...

I did a lot of research and the zeitronix was talked about in depth on a Porsche forum and was all good reviews. Good enough for them then good enough for me with a $4k car.

As for the link, I did not read it purely because I'm lazy and my sleep/work schedule but locally people have also said spacing should be fine. I do greatly appreciate any input offered however.

I don't have the welding abilities but that's one of my winter projects because I just got a nice entry level miller welder to learn on. So for now think I will be ordering the plog today but will be sitting on it until go obd2 which new parts will help motivate me more for. Unfortunately tracking says new wideband won't be here till early this week then I will be logging and getting the tune.

I pulled one of my plugs and they are the NGKs. On zzp it says they suggest that for a stock GT but 103 autolites for moded sc? Sound like could definitely help?

Tr55. 2k miles on them since I put them in right after got car at suggestion of previous owner

Read the plugs, make appropriate changes.

I don't know how to read plugs with any accuracy. The plugs have a blackened look. Not wet or really to black either.

As for the thermostat, I noticed there was a 160* one in it. Is there a reason I shouldn't just replace with another 160* instead of the 180* I threw in?

As for thermostat the fan is set on a switch that I have to manually switch. So is there no other reason to have 180 vs 160*? Buying the 104s regardless but I'm going to look at the stock and try to read them to see what shape was in.

looks like picking up a 99 buick regal gs next week that the guy smacked the front driver side on. good price and great donor since still runs with no codes etc. Planning to pull engine, ecu, all wiring, and cluster. i dont need the engine but is there anything else people can think of that would be usefull to people?

What should gap be on 104 autolites? From the box they are at maybe .042

0.055-0.060

Alright thank you. I know earlier someone said that for the Ngk so didn't know if was same

Supposedly they pulled all wiring an inter-twined them with the olds 88 harness. Unfortunately no diagrams or details... Pretty sure it's being put off until winter so I can enjoy rest of good weather. Driving to look at Buick as we speak.
