for the 2.2 there is no tuning besides trifecta but the 2.4 i believe you get a new pcm...

 

ok but it will still work with the stock pcm you just need a tune correct?

 

yes.

 

ok thanks

 

How much would the 2.4 Intake manifold and throttle body help with this turbo kit? Would it be worth it?

 

so fuel pump takes a **** and takes the engine with it. got a replacement at the shop waiting on pistons, rods, studs and 78lb valve springs. and the little girl sits in the driveway waiting on a new pump and filter.

 

Oh shitty man. Mines down too for starting problems. its true through turbo cars always break.

 

i'm not mad at all. i was gonna build the engine anyway just sucks it wasn't on my tme schedule. i'm shooting for 280whp now. got some cool mods planned.

 

how did your car brake man that sucks. just randomly not beating on it or anything?

 

damn man that should last pretty long then. ull be on like 10-11psi id say. Try for 1bar like I have

 

fuel pump just stopped pumping enough fuel during boost. bad part is i heard a few weird starts from it and thought nothing of it. well my car has shown me to take these things very seriously from here on out.

 

sorry to hear that how will you be fixing that

 

i'll be fixing this minor issue with a 300hp build @ the crank. may have to bump that number up a little to meet my whp expectations.

 

going stage I, what else would have to be purchased? boost gauge and pillar, lsj oil pan, tune.. what else? buying a turbo kit i would hope everything needed comes with it. thanks guys

im trying to price everything out before i make my purchase

 

Did you get the fuel pump replaced after the recall for it?

 

hey tundra i sold you my garrett kit, i NEED boost, im gonna buy the ZZP kit.

 

You would have been better off sticking with the Garret kit I think...
But yeah I understand your need for boost. Thanks for the kit again BTW!
Definitely an awesome kit! I'm still pushing 7lbs still havn't upped the boost at all. Can't wait to do internals in a few months and really crank it up

 

recall? i'm missing something here. please provide a link or what info you do have.

 

i t hink you mean power steering pump recall

 

I think it was only a recall for the cars in states where it gets hot in summer, at least thats what it said on the letter. Something about the heat dryrotting something and causing a fuel leak, i never did it because my car is garaged

 

soo yea.. anyone?

After I took it in they said that my car was literally dumping fuel... It made a difference in power after I got it fixed too. Maybe you can blame GM on your failed pump.

 

i'm beyond that at this point. life happens and you gotta be prepared to pay to play.

 

Sorry to hear about the problems.
Just finished mine and seem to have a issue
with afr's right now, goes way lean after boost.

 

what setup did you go with?
