Hey guys

I drive a 2.4 SS but REALLY want to turbo her.. I need your help though, my car is my daily driver.. do you think a stage 3 will be too much stress on her? Should I just get a stage 2 and be happy with it?

Let me know =D Thanks!!

 

Manual or auto?

 

if u wanna save money do what i did i got the stage 2 with 60lb injectors instead of the 42's and i just turned the boost up to 10psi and i shipped it as a 2.2 kit so i didnt pay for the pcm core charge it worked out good map sensor didnt fit front bumper kinda fits shitty just remeber if ur gonna do it urself ur gonna have to drop the pan and have the supplied bung welded on the pan for the oil return

 

This is what I tell everybody when they ask this, if ur fine with your motor blowing up and would have the money to fix it then go for it, but if not just remember, its not like your putting a k&n filter on your car, the probability that something will go bad is a lot higher, and engine parts for our 2.4s arnt cheap

 

its an auto lol i really want the stage 3 but i def will not have the money to fix it once i drop the 3 grand into the turbo lol

 

for me im thinking stg 1 some ppl tell me stg 2,
and now that zzp have both
im debating between sc or tc like steph06ss says is a daily driver.

 

i wish this wasnt my daily driver.. im really torn !! my boyfriend says the stage one is probably my best bet but its not as fast as i want it to be!!

do you guys think the stage 2 will still be realiable??

also... if i get the turbo do i need to upgrade anything in the tranny???

 

Auto tranny should be fine for that kind of power. An auxilliary transmission cooler wouldn't hurt, though, if you plan on pushing it at all (I'm installing one before the summer on my auto).

 

you guys know the Auto tranny can take more power then the manual tranny on our cars if i recall

 

illini you are turbo right?
when accelerating do you get alot of lag or do you feel the lag?
thats my main concern with the turbo, i dont know how much lag i will get if will affect me, like when i hit the gas the most is in acceleration or when i want to pass a car,
thats why i have in mind sc kit too, because like ppl says the power is there. but dont know if in turbo how it will be.

 

I'm supercharged.

 

you werent going turbo afterward?

 

Nope. I plan to stay supercharged indefinitely.

 

have you dyno it? how much psi you are pushing?

 

dont worry about it!

im on 12 psi w/60s in a non zzp setup

 

No dyno yet (plan to dyno it at the CED meet in June), but I push 12 psi on a 3" pulley.

 

any idea how much you are at right now?

 

230ish? No clue. It hauls ass compared to stock

 

what do you have? besides the 3" pulley... injectors?, exhausts? etc

 

K&N Typhoon CAI, LS4 TB, 3" pulley, 60 lbs injectors, ZZP midlength header/catless DP, GMPP Catback with a 2.5" Magnaflow muffler/custom axleback to quiet it down.

 

you boys are making me sooo jealous !!!

 

not the only one, i wish i had the money to get one of the kits, i only have a short ram intake from K&N and sometimes i dont want to go boosted because i dont want to lose the growl sound that the K&N intake does lol

 

are u kidding me?

hearing ur bov after punching it is enough to make u bust a nut on urself

 

well as i like the whistle of the turbo, i like the whine of the supercharger lol
