How does the 2.4 change between the 2.4 Cobalt, 2.4 Ion, 2.4 HHR, and the 2.4 new Malibu..? I know they change things between models sometimes and I just wondered how they did it.. I thought that adding an M92 to the new Mali would be insane..

 

no difference between the cobalt, ion, g5 and hhr
don't know about the malibu
if it's the LE5 it's the same thing

 

The 4 cylinder Malibu does have the LE5.

 

an LE5 is an LE5

 

everybody is correct.
Whats up Bolts!

 

Hey Xtorted, I might need to head up your way sometime in the near future for a Dyno tune...

 

Ohh boy, If you are i'm showing up along with you. Let me know man
300 bucks for a dynotune. you NEED a dp though. I found it to open up the car a lot more, and i'm still untuned.. uhgg

 

I wasn't sure if it was like the old days when you had a 305 in different cars, but it was tuned differently for different vehicles.. I've driven all of them and they all felt about the same.. Sucks though how the intake is totally different for the HHR and the Malibu than for the G5/Cobalt/Ion.. A fully built Malibu would be sweet.. I wonder if anyone is working on one..?

 

That would be really nice.. hahn turbo 2.4? ahaha

 

also the solstice has a 2.4 le5

 

Why didn't I remember that.. Sky and Solstice both, correct? I've driven those damn things too.. lol. I loved the LE5 with RWD.

 

LE5 ftw

 

Basically.

 

I'll let you know when it goes down then...

But yes, i plan to have my header and DP w/cat by then... I want those before I try that out. I was gonna ask Illmatic3s to do the road tune for me. But I'd like a dyno tune as well, I want to see my numbers

 

zzp has a turbo for the 2.4 coming out soon!!!

 

what's an m92?

 

I was talking with Joe (BennyHHR) while he was tuning my car with HP Tuners. The engine is the same, but he mentioned the final drive gear was different on the HHR 5-speeds, and I also believe the ECM's have some different tweaks in the stock tune here and there.

 

The different vehicle platforms use different final drives and different tunes based on vehicle type and weight. But the engine itself is the same.

 

Well obviously, I was just stating it to make convo.

 

LOL, I didnt even see your post all the way at the bottom there. I just hit reply all willie-nillie

 

I think he means m90 supercharger. IIRC that's a bit too large for a 2.4L, the m62 would be the one to go with.

 

Its a bit large to fit and by the time you calculated how fast the blower is spinning compared to the M62, there are no desirable advantages to it over the M62.

 

Besides the obvious mounting flange difference, in what way is an M92 "too big" for an LE5? That seems analogous to sayin you should only run a GT28 turbo because the GT30 is too big.

 

It won't fit between the radiator support and the intake manifold is what I think he means.

 

kustom ftw. i thought there was such thing as a m92 and i have fallen behind in technology. i guess it would work, if you can make it work.
