I was walking through the race shop today and noticed this so I figured I'd snap a few shots for you guys.

 

sweet. was that bolted to a 2.4?

 

Yes, it is.

 

hard telling on the angles. all the 2.0, 2.2, 2.4 blocks look the same

 

one step closer to all of our power needs

 

Damn it! I want a 2.0 turbo! I think I'm going to just sell my RL and get the SKY RL next spring or summer! Helloooo drag racing and drifter in one!

 

I can't believe that will fit along the firewall.

 

as my friends say, "bang that bitch out and it'll fit."


I'll take one and I'll make it fit.

 

Even looks like it will bolt into the stock cat pipe.

Looks hot !

 

that is what garrett has been saying is that it will fit onto the stock exhaust !!!!! and stock air box or after market air intake!!!!!

 

Must resist urge for duo charge... must resist urge...

 

sure it could use astock exhuast but how or why would you wanna use the stock airbox??its just a flow restriction

 

mmmm... erection

 

hmmm.... I'm drooling.... bye s/c hello t/c ?

 

cool, that was on a 2.4, you can tell by the coil plugs on top

 

looks good!

 

Would this also fit a 2.2? I know the tuning would be different, but I solely mean fitment.

 

Yeah, that looked like a 2.4 block!

 

That looked like a small snail though, what was that a T3/T4???

 

According to Garrett its a 2.2

unless this kit has been out for a while and they are working on the 2.4. That doesnt look like the 2.0L to me

 

well the engine in that pic is not a 2.2 so i dont know what they are doing

 

maybe they are making a 2.3

 

The compressor housing is clocked 60 degrees from where it's supposed to be. It should be pointing toward the valve cover more. By the look of things, that's the Banks workshop, not Garrett's workshop.

 

Yes, that is here at Banks. As far as the clocking, it is unmodified as received from Garrett.

It is bolted to a 2.4 presently but it will bolt on to the 2.2 & 2.0


I have been cotemplating running this turbo kit on a Sol 2.4 engine/tranny in my Nova.

 

You can always tell a LE5 engine by the cylinder head. On the L61 and LSJ, the valve covers have the same sealing surface. There are two little notches right where the timing gears bolts are so you can service the cams with just the valve cover off. The LE5 has have one large notch all the way across the cam gear side. Dead give away. That is an LE5.

To be honest, that really isn't a lot of progress. It looks like all they really have is a successful turbo manifold with a stock turbo unit bolted to it for looks. They don't have any charge tubing, intercooler, intake, controllers, not a whole lot.
