A z24 is a Cavalier model designation. The Beretta was a Z26.
And no. There was never a factory turbo offered for the 3100 V6.
1-2-3-4-5-6
Front of the engine, about half-way down, facing the radiator.
I put a 95 Grand Am transmission in my 94 and it works great!!!
3.1 V6 has 160 HP? Correction: The 3100 SFI lost 5HP in 1995 and sits at 155HP for that year. The 3100 SFI in 1994 originally did have 160HP, you are right about that. So if this 1995 model has a 3100 SFI V6, it's 155HP. If it has the four cylinder (2.2L OHV), it's 120HP.
1994 3100 engines (and all 3100 engines, for that matter) never came mated to a 5-speed from GM. You will need to make all necessary modifications and installation yourself. Any 5-speed from an earlier V6 Beretta/Corsica (1988-1993 2.8L or 3.1L MPFI), Cavalier/Sunbird, Grand Prix, etc. will bolt up. I recommend a Getrag, if you can find one in a yard. Note: You will have issues with the SES/Check Engine light coming on, due to the ECM no longer finding the electronic component of the automatic transmission. This cannot be cleared on a 1994 or 1995 Beretta.
18 ft lb
you have to take off the oil pan and it will be right there bolted to the block
if it's the 3100 V6, it is on the right side of the front valve cover
no difference 3.1 and 3100 are the same
The 3100 engine was rated at 160 hp and 185 lb/ft of torque.
1994 sedan 3100-3290 lbs. 1994 wagon 3270-3390 lbs.
The bleeder valve is the ONLY proper way of bleeding air out of the cooling system on a GM 3x00 engine. It is made up of two sections. A large section that threads into to the coolant rail vertical stem, and a smaller section that threads into the first one. The smaller section is the one you loosen to bleed, and is usually the part that snaps (it happened to me once). If that's the case, try replacing the entire lower section from a 3100 in a junkyard if you have access to one nearby. If not, someone on a Beretta forum such as bstuff(dot)com might be able to help you.
