sooo anyone that doesnt have a lsj put the Harrop HTV1320-LSJ Supercharger with the tvs pulley on yet if so is it worth it

no ones done it. most people who add a m62 find its more than enough power. Also, a TVS would require an engine build for a 2.2, and unless you run a large pulley, it will require an engine build of the 2.4 as well. Its a costly piece for us non-LSJ cars. I will one day run a TVS though

agreed me to ive been thinking of doing it for awhile but i want to break in my m62 for a lil bit before i start doing that stuff

well, i can afford it now, but if i do it, im going all out. im not just gonna buy rods n pistons and call it a day, i have $7k mapped out in performance mods, including a fully built and ported head (an aftermarket head at that). It should be fun if i ever have the cash to do it all

REIGN SS

Lets see $1800 for Harrop and still have to buy all the supporting mods, or $1200-$1500 for everything from a guy that went Tubro...

All these prices are assuming I buy new, but im sure with the 30 some TVS buys, some will change their minds or go turbo or decide its not worth it, so ill get that guy cheaper. I hope to get all of these things cheaper than i listed, but still, i listed the cheapest NEW prices

You're forgetting labor. And unless you have a crap load of tools and resources, you wont be able to do all of that yourself.

im aware theres install costs. I dont have any estimates, so i dont have an estimated price listed with the above

rockstar014

well i wonder how much power will be coming out of an 2.4 or 2.2 with that on maybe way more than a turbo???

im hoping for 450whp, though i'd be happy to see 400whp

ShortStack

It will be hard to say till someone does it...

With an engine build and a little extra displacement.. who knows?

HunterKiller89

iTrader: (1)

well, m88 got 400whp with his stuff, but had a lot of knock. im going to be running a lower CR than him, a more heavily ported head, possibly raised redline, and more displacement. i should hopefully be seeing the same numbers as him without the knock, though hopefully ill see higher (im hoping the CNC head will do a lot for the TVS guys)

ShortStack

I wish i had a car garage to do all of this ****.. Id LOVE to work on cars...

m88 had a non-lsj? Damn...

HunterKiller89

iTrader: (1)

no, he had a LSJ. Im just using him as an example ecause he currently has the highest whp numbers for a TVS cobalt

rockstar014

i think i might try it!

hunter your also forgeting about fuel upgrades.. ill have a fully forged/bolted 2.2 with a procharger and nitrous if it doesnt make enught power im going to purchase a Tvs

i already have a set of 60's. If my fueling requirements go above those (which im sure they will if i reach my goals), then ill deal with them then

whats the difference between neutral balance shafts and the balance shaft delete kit.?

Wouldnt you get the same results?

I just want to spin past 7k safely

HunterKiller89

neutral balance shafts are still balance shafts. theyre just neutrally weighted (hence the name) instead of the stock one that have a heavy side and a light side. the delete gets rid of them altogether
