Does anyone know if anyone makes any performance parts for a 2.3 DOHC??Cuz so far I've had to make all my own stuff.

Go to engine specific discussion, look around.

Enjoy.

Be more specific... depends on what you're looking for.

Like cold air intakes,headers,cams,nitrous systems,etc.

I see you have a supercharger,that would be nice too.Or turbo!!

Cold air intake - must make your own (only "warm-air" intakes are available)

Headers - the-race-shop.com had 2 types in development, but closed shop. Their supplier was talking about making them anyway... might want to search quad4forums.com for progress on that. Otherwise... you have 2 other options:
1. Hit the junkyard and find the larger exhaust manifold from a 90-92. (your 94 is tiny compared to this)
2. Mantapart sports-cast manifold and downpipe - basically the same early manifold, but with a ported collector and matching downpipe.

Cams - you already have HO cams. W41 cams are good for another 10 HP but will require a matching memcal PROM in order to raise the rev limit.

Nitrous - universal. Any kit meant for a fuel injected sport compact will work. (use a 'wet' kit, not dry) Will need the ability to retard ignition timing if using a decent sized shot... so MSD DIS-2 box required.

Turbo - custom, no turbo manifold exists. (the one meant for 95 2.3 J-body will not clear the steering rack)
Supercharger - I hacked the GMPP SC onto mine, but that's a major project full of cutting/grinding/fabrication.

Wow,thanx so much for your input!! I don't think the mainly stock 2.3 can handle to much nitrous.That is what I'm kinda leaning toward.I have somewhat of a cold air riged up,but am looking to get more out of her.

How much of a nitrous shot do you think it could handle?? With the MSD and everything?

There's no magic 'safe' number that I can give you. Once you can back off the ignition timing (the HO tune is fairly aggressive) a 50 shot should be fine. Again, this assumes enough fuel, which is why I recommend a wet shot or direct-port.

Great direct-port example:

Which MSD box would I need to get??(6al,digital 7,etc??)

O,also,I'm going to Wyotech October 1st,and there supposed to be able to build a custom turbo for any car,just for the cost of parts!!
