The Quad 4 (called Twin Cam after 1995) was an overhead camshaft inline 4-cylinder automobile engine produced by General Motors' Oldsmobile division. It was a modern engine for the time, but was criticized for roughness as well as its longevityTemplate:Citation needed. Balance shafts were added in 1995, also known as a transitional year from the Quad 4 to the renamed TWIN CAM variant, in 1996 2.4L (LD9) the complete engine makeover was accomplished. The name is derived from the engine's four cylinders and four valve per cylinder layout. There was a single overhead camshaft variant that was produced for a brief time. The Quad 4 used a cast iron block and an aluminum head.
The Quad 4 debuted in 1987 and was replaced after 2001 by the Ecotec. Quad 4 engines were produced at GM's Delta Engine Plant (Plant 5) in Delta Township, Michigan. In recent years, it has gained a minor following in hot rodding circles as a period style engine (which looks similar to a 1930's Offenhauser twin cam unit)Template:Citation needed.
[edit] Quad OHC
A SOHC variant of the Quad 4 was intended to replace the Tech IV. Debuting in 1992, this Quad OHC was an 8-valve engine and produced 120 hp (89 kW), 40 hp (30 kW) less than a Quad 4 from the same era. Torque was 140 ft·lbf (190 N·m). Power dropped to 115 hp in 1993, as an attempt by GM to reduce the harshness and noise of the engine.
Although power and economy were better than the pushrod Tech IV, the Quad OHC was retired after 1994 when the DOHC version became standard.
[edit] LD2
The LD2 was the standard version of the Quad 4. It is a lower output version of the Quad 4 when compared to the LGO or High Output Quad 4. The LD2 was the first incarnation of the Quad 4, introduced in 1987 for the 1988 Model year. Even in LO form the Quad4 was impressive putting out 160 hp. Although this may not seem like a lot by today's standards, consider other American made four cylinders of the time; The Chrysler 2.2 and the Ford 2.3 both of which needed a Turbocharger and an intercooler to match that number. GM was able to produce the 160 hp with no turbo, only 9.5:1 compression and didn't even need an EGR to pass emission standards. The LO Quad 4 saw several slight changes during it production run including different crankshafts, cams, and manifolds, all meant to increase torque and quiet NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness). There was also a transitional version of the LD2 in 1995, which displaced the same 2.3 liters as the normal Quad 4 but featured the dual balance shafts of the later 2.4 TwinCam.
[edit] 1995
For 1995, a balance shaft-equipped version of the 2.3 L version was produced. A clever arrangement ensured a constant load on the shafts: The crank drove one shaft, which drives the second, which drives the oil pump. The shafts spun at twice the engine rpm, forcing the redline to be reduced from 6800 to 6500 rpm. Output was 3.62 in to 3.54 in and 3.62 in to 3.54 in. This was the only Quad 4 family engine produced in 1995. This was known as a transitional year for the engine family. Applications:
- 1995 Pontiac Sunfire GT
- 1995 Chevrolet Cavalier Z24
- 1995 Pontiac Grand Am SE
- 1995 Oldsmobile Achieva
[edit] LG0
The High-Output 2.3 L LG0 version produced 180 hp (134 kW) from 1989 to 1992, 175 hp (130 kW) in 1993, and 170 hp (125 kW) in 1994. Changes included more aggressive camshafts, and an extra half point of compression (from 9.5:1 to 10.0:1). These engines require premium octane gasoline, of 91 octane or higher, due to the compression ratio. To date, the Quad 4 is General Motors most powerful "Naturally Aspirated" 4 cylinder engine produced. The W41 option listed below does not hold the title over the new direct-injected Ecotec LAF launched in the 2010 Buick Lacrosse and 2010 Chevrolet Equinox, due to the W41 not being SAE certified; the LAF has an output of 182 HP. Applications:
- 1990-1993 Chevrolet Beretta GTZ
- 1994 Chevrolet Beretta Z26
- 1989-1991 Pontiac Grand Am "SE"
- 1990-1991 Pontiac Grand Am "LE"; only w/"Sport Performance Package"
- 1992-1994 Pontiac Grand Am "GT"
- 1989-1991 Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais "I-Series"
- 1990-1991 Oldsmobile 442 (full model name: "Cutlass Calais Quad 442")
- 1990-1991 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme
[edit] W41
The W41 version was the highest-output Quad 4 at 190 hp (142 kW) in 1991 and 1992, and 185 hp (138 kW) in 1993. The additional 10 hp came from longer duration cams and a different PROM.
Applications:
- 1991 Oldsmobile 442
- 1992-1993 Oldsmobile Achieva SCX
[edit] LD9
The LD9 Twin Cam was a 5th gen. Quad 4 variant with balance shafts, debuting in 1996. Bore was decreased from 3.62 in to 3.54 in and stroke increased from 3.32 to 3.70 for better torque, and power was increased to 150 hp and 155 lbs tourqe This engine received a minor update halfway through the 1999 model year that eliminated the EGR, increased the compression ratio from 9.5:1 to 9.7:1, and switched from low impedance fuel injectors to high impedance.
Applications:
- 1996-2002 Chevrolet Cavalier Z24
- 1996-2001 Pontiac Sunfire GT & SE
- 1996-2001 Pontiac Grand Am
- 1996-1998 Oldsmobile Achieva
- 1999-2001 Oldsmobile Alero
- 1997-1999 Chevrolet Malibu
- 1997-1999 Buick Skylark

2.3 intake manifold 'How To' Modification and Install Guide
</center>
2.3 HO Intake Modified to use on the 2.4 (Mantapart's Design)
This is one way to do it... Or you can go to http://www.mantapart.com and buy a log intake that's direct fit and made for the 2.4L. Depends on how much you like to work on your car.
Parts to buy before hand
2.3 Intake Mainfold
2.3 intake gasket kit....... small tube of RTV (silicone sealer)
Removal of stock parts
Disconnect the negative cable on the battery. Unplug all sensors and vacuum lines on the intake and t/b. Remove the throttle cables and bracket from the t/b. Remove the 4 t/b bolts and t/b and 7 intake manifold bolts and manifold. Remove the black tube that goes to your brake booster. You will be cutting this tube later. On the front of your trans, you will find a grounding stud, with wires and a nut on it. You will need to remove this, and relocate it down to the bolt below (I found this to be in the way on the 5 speeds, not sure on the auto). If you have a 96-99 (mid 99 they stopped using the egr) you will have to remove your EGR and the mounting bracket. You will then need to install a exhaust gasket from a 99+ w/o EGR, in place of your exhaust manifold gasket, or make a block off plate for the front of your engine. Plug the wires back into the EGR, and zip tie it to the power steering lines just to the right of the engine.
2.3 Intake
First things first, find yourself a good intake. The Log style is a good choice, and make sure its off a DOHC engine. There are a few part #'s for the H.O. ones, I have a few of the #'s: 22538691, 24570288, 24571319.
[[Image:HO%2520vs%2520LO.jpg]]
Modifying the intake. I used an extra 2.4 head to mark off the ports, but since most of you wont have this, you will need to use your 2.4 intake gasket. Its not easy, but you can mask of the parts you need to remove. Once you have the intake matched to the head, you now need to modify 4 bolt holes. The outer 2 and the center 1 line right up, its the 2 'Pairs' of bolt holes on either side of center that need to be modified. The bottom 2 need to be slotted out, the inner 2 need to be drilled lower, you will notice/see how far, once you try to line up the intake to the head. At this time, you should make sure you have a 2.3 intake gasket kit, and modify it to match your newly modified manifold. THOROUGHLY CLEAN THE INTAKE, REMOVE ALL METAL SHAVINGS!!!

File:Picture20007.jpg
Installing the intake..... Try to test fit the intake on the head, w/o a gasket for the moment. Make sure it fits, and nothing is in the way. If all is ok, remove the intake, install the gasket with a SMALL amount of silicone sealer, and reinstall the intake.
Throttle Body
Now for a t/b. You can use either a 2.3 56mm t/b, or a 2.4 t/b, either the stock 52mm, the Mantapart 56mm, the RSM 59mm or 62mm.
If you go with the 2.3 t/b, get a 93+ one, either with or with out the cruise option. Remove all the sensors, and be careful with the bolts, since they are weak, and might break. You can use your 2.4 Idle Air Control sensor, just pull off the plunger on the 2.3 one, and swap it with the 2.4 one. For your Throttle Position Sensor, you need to use your 2.4 one, check your position of it on the 2.4, and place it on your 2.3 t/b. You will need to cut one of the mounting ears off, and drill a new hole in the t/b for the other one. Tap the hole, and mount the sensor.
[[Image:2[1].3tb.jpg]][[Image:TPS-Throttle%2520Body%2520Mod.jpg]]
[[Image:TPS%2520Mod.jpg]]
If you go with the 2.4 t/b, you don't need to mess with any sensors, use your stock ones. You will need to drill out the 2 holes that match up with the holes in the intake. Just select a drill bit that is slightly larger then the bolts. To mount the throttle cable bracket, I would first get one off a '95 2.3(part # 22590179. This part is now discontinued by GM), just because it was made to fit in the J-body with this intake manifold. The upper bolt hole in the t/b will need to be taped, to bolt the upper part of the bracket in place.
Either way you will need a 2.3 intake gasket kit from any parts store, in the kit you should get a t/b gasket. Use a SMALL amount of silicone sealer, and mount the t/b gasket and t/b to the intake.
Rewiring and plumbing Vacuum lines
You will have to remove some electrical tap, and open the loom slightly. You SHOULD NOT NEED TO CUT ANY WIRES!!! Run your Cam Position sensor plug behind your intake, between the runners, and plug it in. Pull the rest of the wires to the t/b. Plug in your IAC and TPS. I mounted the MAP sensor onto the intake by the power steering pump. I ran the vacuum for it to the port on the back side of the intake. The vacuum line for the FPR goes to the first port on the left of the intake. There is a vacuum line that comes up from underneath (just behind the A/C compressor) rout that one to the center vacuum port. The large hole in the front can be plugged with a common pipe plug found at a hardware store. There should be one small vacuum line and the large tube from the brake booster left. The small one is for you HVAC controls, mount that to your t/b. The black tube from the booster needs to be cut, you will need a piece long enough to reach the rubber hose that plugs right into the booster itself. Should be about 6-8" long. Remove the rubber elbow from the rest of the tube, and install it onto the large opening on the t/b. This leaves you 2 ports on the t/b that need to be plugged, you can pick up vacuum caps from a auto place, or just run a small piece of tube from one to the other. Now is the time to connect your throttle cables. Connect them the same way you took them off your t/b. If you have cruise, GM makes a part to turn your cruise box over.
EGR
We removed the egr and mounting bracket from the head, kept the egr plugged into the wire harness, and ran a vacuum line from the intake manifold (any port but FROM THE MAP SENSOR) to the large open port on the egr. We used a brass nipple fitting and a filtered air line fitting (3/8 pipe thread), and tapped the large egr port with a 3/8 NPT tap. No check engine light. Then just zip tie the egr out of harms way.
Intake and filter
You can use your stock 'S' tube with a cone filter to the stock location, or you can cut the tube, and run the filter straight down...... or make up your own combo.....

That is it, you should now be able to reconnect the negative cable, and start your baby up. At start up, it will Idle about 2000-3500 rpm, till the IAC valve resets.... if it goes any higher, or doesn't come down after 30 seconds. you have a vacuum leak. To check for a leak, listen for a whistle, or just shut it off, and check your gaskets. If everything is ok, let it idle for 5-10 minutes to let everything reset. If you get a SES light, take it into any AutoZone and get it checked. Make sure you get the code # and what it is.

Exhaust
The Quad 4 and Twin cam motors like to breath so give them a nice open exhaust 2.5" is a real good one to go with.

Intake
The Quad 4 and twin cam has had 4 types of intake manifolds
1.The first was a tubular manifold that had long individual runners. I looked a lot like a exhaust manifold.
2. The Log style intake has shorter brooder runners pointing down in to a larger chamber that is attached to the T/B.
3. The 93 and up uses the same type but has some kind of restriction that the 92 and earlier do not have. The T/B and linkage mount is also a different style.
4. The Twin cam uses a long all most equal length intake with the T/B sitting right on the top middle position. It is made of composite material.

Cams
There has been 4 different cam housing on the Q4 from 87-95
They vary by:
1.)The type of seal between the housings
2.)The placement of the seal grove
3.)The casting type (Sand and Die)
4.)Lifter bore size on the 95+
5.)And the SOHC
