Thumbs up 2.4L wants boost, and more. throw me ideas!

Hey !
the 2.4L is ordering the zzp 2.4L stage 3 turbo kit!

plan to replace clutch, brakes, springs etc.
Would like you to give me a list of parts and ideas to make my car plain sex.

List of performance mods would be great besides the 2.4L turbo kit, and what kind of numbers I could gain off of them.
please expand! money is not an issue.

thank you

you should also have a catback exhaust with that kit (if u read the bottom of the page notes).
maybe get the zzp header/downpipe combo too
lowering springs would be nice. sway bars maybe
new clutch
new brakes/pads
one of those travel neck brace things to sleep on planes, u'll need the neck support

You'll need a full exhaust (header,downpipe, and cat-back) and you may want to upgrade the valve springs.

I heard our valve springs can handle a significant amount of stress?

No he'll just need a cat back exhuast, the zzp kit comes with a turbo manifold (header ish) and a downpipe.

oh right the manifold which looks like a but with an extra connection. I didn't know that it came with a downpipe though.

Edit: Also you could port the cylinder heads and change out the cams for a set that is designed for a turbo set up.

go do a little research on turbos, just for your sake. You're giving the ******** of the forum plenty of ammo to use against you

unless they're remotely mounted, NO turbo kit EVER MADE has a header. Dont try and write it off as you not memorizing this specific kit. Its a lack of basic understanding on what a turbocharged car consists of (IE turbo manifold, not header)

note, i have no problem with anyone not knowing something, as long as theyre willing to admit they dont know (opposed to blaming it on a lack of memorization of a specific kit for example)

okay so first i said get a header/dp/catback. n then someone pointed out that it has that, intake too i notticed after reading. than lols. than saying that the kit doesnt have a header but only a downpipe and intake.

sooooo.... i guess i was right in the first place trying to list other ****. instead of worrying about me, why not just tell this kid:

"no the kit has the dp, jonly consider getting the catback" or "no the kit has the dp, get the catback and maybe the header if u really want"

why not say something constructive and get off me

your kidding right? Of all the cams out there for the L61, there's not one that has a grind for a turbo setup. jk

Tranny will be fine, plenty of 400+hp cars are running around with stock transmissions, but I highly advise some form a limited slip.
