mmcgee if you dont hit 11's with that then you should quit lol

 

thats wut i was thinkin.. bolt up zzp stg 2 and radials should hit 12s fairly easily.

 

LE5 were the black sheep of the family but we make it work cant wait for zzp to get rods and pistons for us

 

why.. a good tune.. some head work will hold our motors over 400

 

you guys do realize the ecotec is capable of over 700hp basically stock right

 

tell that to buddy on here who first pull on dyno at 8psi with his turbo shattered his rods. I'm at 16 something psi on a stock pulley its only a matter of time before i have to build the block. I'm trying to get cams and balance shaft deletes to pro long her life and put less stress on the internals

 

 

oh boy..

BLS isn't worth it less your revving the **** out of the engine.. get valve springs.. and some exhaust porting/ bowl work and call it a day.. you will not find cams ATM that are out and are worth it.. and like i said .. given a good fully finished tune and no valve float these engines can handle it..

dude you spent 10k to boost your car.. please.. PLEASE dont attempt to lecture me about what these cars can handle.. i've been in the game alot longer then you and i guarantee i've done ALOT more research

a sample size of one doesn't mean ****

 

Lol....

 

Hey at least when i spend 10k i get the supercharger installed you may have been in the game awhile which makes me wonder why you are still driving a saturn and not stepped your game up. You being a trifecta dealer you know it all right?

p.s I am revving the **** out of my engine fyi 4 speed

 

lool wwow man.. not stepping my game up? because I have a saturn with the same ******* engine as you seriously. why the **** would i step my "GAME UP" when i have a car that i like and have built with my own hands.. ps i spent just about 6.5k and thats including 3 sets of tires 2 sets of brakes 2 suspension setups 2 exhaust setups and everything i've ever done with the car you spent 10k on a supercharger build .. and nothing else good jarb

being a trifecta dealer has nothing to do with knowing a good tune will save your engine ..

go back to highschool "bitch" you didn't know **** before .. dont act like because you changed your name now your a genius

and you're reving the **** out of your engine? really your revving to 8+k? really? yea .. right.. get ******* real kid..

oh btw congrats on running 13.6 at 103... i ran a 104 trap with a 2.4 60' on half the psi..

seriously dont fill other peoples heads with wrong info

 

lol i clocked 13.6 first time at the track boosted with street tires that night i never dropped the psi in the tires because i didnt have a gauge. Also i'm rocking a automatic whats your story? If i'm telling lies about how strong our engines are tell me why buddies rods shattered first pull and how josh and sean told me not go go past the stock 3.15 pulley? I didnt have a team of people working on my car and doing r&d on it. All i had was the boys at OTTP & TORQ. When i first got the car back i was smashing the rev limiter all day i still do at the track i learned to let off the gas at high rpms so i dont smash. Wanna see my data logs i got plenty?

 

GM Racing Ecotec Engine - Analysis - Turbo Magazine

you can go back to page one of the article and read it all but this is the page i was referring too.

 

/... like i said.. TUNE will keep you engine together.. for you dont go below a 3.15 because over that will cause valve float potentially as well as heat, high CR with high boost and low octace without proper precautions is no bueno ( yes 93 is low octane) also tell me why there are 2.4L kappas ( use the same engine)that rock 350-450 and dd it on stock botom end.. ?

whos my team that worked on my car? no one.. me and every so often my friends shop looked at the car (and installed my clutch and intake manifold) the fact that my procharger setup is an "R&D kit" is because they were planning on selling it as a kit after I did all the leg work

your rocking an auto whats your point.. 13.6 at 103 is a typical time you so whats your point

why did your buddies car blow? what turbo did he have .. how dialed in was the tune.. how many miles were on the engine what other mods did he have .. lots of things to consider but guess what .. like i said .. sample size of one doesn't mean ****.. in that case.. how come 90% of the boosted 2.4s haven't blown up yet?


seriously you dont think tuning can blow your engine?

people blew engines on 2.8" pullies with supporting mods back in the day running intense tunes then there were people that ran 2.5" pullies and pushed out 30+ more whp and ran hard with no issues.. why.. because the tune was better

lol you smash your rev limiter all day.. and whats that set at? 7200 .. thats not reving the **** out of it .. if you're not planning on going to an 8k redline NBS arent necessary

seriously.. take a step back..

 

those 2.2's are built way better then the 2.4's the 2.2 have been around for a long long time were talking cavi days god i actually owned a 2.2 3 speed that was my first car wish that bastard never crashed into me and ran.


look at darkmanx's ion 375 hp went bye bye and he knows his stuff i'm going to him, HPT just released new tune finally.

 

lol you're a dumb ****.. the 2.4s are a MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH better block the then 2.2 (pre 08 that is) .. the 2.4 in the cobalt, ion, g5, solstice, sky, hhr, malibu, aura, are based on the gen II ecotec block ( just like the lnf which has clearly proven itself)

that sucks that darkmanx blew the engine.. but guess what.. 06black, area47 06blackg85ss, zzp, and a bunch of other people have pushed 400 whp on the stock engine..

seriously man.. take a step back..

 

his was a 2.0 tvs lol, now he is like more than the double with the G8 lol

 

i'm not saying **** cant happen.. but with a good tune you can keep an engine together with alot more power then it should be

 

agreed, especially since the stock tunes are run so lean for emissions and knock alot from factory

 

well ya tunes i believe do the most for ours cars there is so many things you can change i have seen plenty of people who just tune and put down great numbers and steve when you getting the tune done

 

I've been on 12-14 psi depending on the mood ha for the last 4months car runs great pulls like crazy my best freind has a 05 evo with cams full boltons walboro 255 and 1000's on 25 psi and I pull him good from a roll

 

Rosshady in the house

 

yea i get evos from a roll. but run him from a dig lol

 

Haha I'll catch him at 100 lol

 

thats why the GM race team runs 1500 hp on the 2.2 and not the 2.4 right? You keep saying that sucks you gave me 4 names and i gave you two that have blown. Where is this going?

people who have not blown up - 4

people who have blown up - 2

i'm sure theres are alot more people that have blown theres engines we just dont know about it. Not everyone stays on the cobalt fourms i was dropping my friend off in wpb and i saw this guy with two cobalts in his garage all tricked out, older gentleman never even heard of css.net
