you'll get about 60 more hp from these upgrades putting you over 220 hp you'll smoke any new cobalt SS with no problem and keep up with any stock Acura RSX turbo or not.
I have these upgrades and beat Pontiac grand prix GTP's and Ford mustang 5.0 gt all the time..it's actually quit comical....the look on their faces. The Cavelier is a very light car even compared to the acura RSX.
Good luck
What is the engine life expectancy on Chevy Cavalier with 2.2L 4L engine?
If you're talking about the 2200 sfi ohv, you should be able to get over 240,000 miles on it with no problem if you treat it nicely (Oil changes, transmission fluid changes, maybe a fuel additive as you reach 200k and beyond.) I got mine at just under 200k and have only done high milage oil or Lucas additives with regular oil and it runs great and is closing on 250k. Be warned the transmission is much more prone to failure so always consider that.

How do you replace the cooling fans on a 1999 LHS?
There are two ways, each with benefits. The first is to locate the four mounting bolts of the fan shroud on the back (engine side) of the radiator, remove them, disconnect the electrical supply to each of the fans and wrestle the shroud containing the fans out of the car. It may be necessary to loosen the belt tensioner and move the serpentine belt out of the way. I have done it like this, but getting to all of these shroud bolts can be frustrating. The second way is to drain the radiator from the petcock located on the lower passenger side of the radiator, remove the radiator hoses (being careful when coolant wants to drain from the hoses still attached to the block), remove the transmission cooler lines, remove the four mounting bolts securing the radiator to the frame and lift the entire unit out. Remove the fans and shroud and replace. These two methods are close, because the shroud bolts can be difficult to get started once they are out while everything is still in the car. Irregardless of which method you choose, be very careful of things bumping the radiator as it is easily damaged.
