I just got my SS 2.4 N/A and was wondering what I should put in it first? Performance wise.

 

What kind of power you looking for?

 

I'm basically looking to increase power anyway possible since it doesn't have that much power to begin with

 

Well u can gain a maybe 20-30hp with ur typical bolt ons: intake, header/downpipe, exhaust, tune. Or you can forget the wimpy stuff and go with a zzp turbo kit (my personal favorite) Just with the stage 2, I think, your car will rip!

 

I'm pretty much trying to gain power everywhere and eventually will add a lot to my car I'm just trying to figure out where to start.

 

Well you dont want o waist money, so look at what you eventually want to do. Lets say u want to turbo/sc ur car, dont go and spend $400+ on a header/downpipe when ur gonna need to replace em ya know?

 

Well the car has 67k on it, is it worth it to turbo/sc?

 

do the easy stuff first. and stuff you will use in the future like intake, maybe catback or something.....do forget your general maintenance. if you just got it you might wanna change oil, plugs, wires i always do even if the previous owner said they just changed them. first step to making power is running good!

 

Injen intake, Pacesetter header, Magnaflow exhaust, Turbo Tech Racing Upper Engine Mount. These are all popular first purchased mods we sell.

 

If the car was taken good care of 67k should be no problem. My buddy has a 90k+ on his sunfire and he turbo'd it last year. Hasn't had a problem on it yet!

 

I was thinking intak, which is the best for this car?

 

Really the only reason to buy an N/A is to turbo it. With the bigger engine it will be awe-some.

 

For $2910 you could be a low 13 second car with zzp's stage 2 turbo kit. Thats not a bad price.

 

auto or manual????

if auto go stg2 turbo from zzp, if manual,, try to ask for stg1 (stg1 they took it out of the site)
get some 60lbs injectors and build an air/air cooling system.

 

how easy is the upper engine mount to install on my 2.4???

 

You need to decide on spending goals and power goals.

In the long run a mild SC or turbo setup will be a much better power/price ratio as compared to a full intake and exhaust/tune setup.

 

15 minutes max, very simple, color install guide included.

 

Support engine, take out a few bolts, lift mount, put new mount in, tighten bolts, done!

Easy 15 minute job!

 

Thanks for the re statement It is that simple too!
