they technically do the same thing,
http://wwwrsphysse.anu.edu.au/~amh11..._off_valve.htm that should help

 

thanks man. and also, you said you are going to use an 8 rib procharger pulley, is it possible to use a 5 rib pulley? thats the one that comes with the 2.2 kit. http://www.speedmafia.com/Online%20S...%20options.htm

 

don't know... that was just off the parts list keving gave me... however I think the pully system in the 2.4 is slightly different so i would guess not

 

yea, the more Im reading, the more I think Im just gonna wait for the 2.0 build to be finished and just get that kit. Seems like a kit that fits a Cobalt will make for less of a headache later on

 

or you can wait for the correct 2.4 kit hahaha

 

yea, but that will be an even longer wait. this is already killing me, I have dreams about my butt-numbing procharged 2.4

 

haha you think it's not killing me? i just need the money and we're good to go haha.. send me the money king and i'll be the test dumby

 

I wish you where closer. I would just do it myself for you. For just the price of the kit.

 

yea... i just wish I had the money... stupid bills...

 

Im about to order my gauges, gonna get them from auto meter. Im getting the boost, and wideband afr. Should I get an oil pressure gauge also? I know I should monitor the oil pressure but Im not sure if it is necessary to get a gauge. Also, what does a vacuum gauge do http://www.autometer.com/cat_gaugede...earch&gid=3126?

 

ill be procharging hopefully as well in the new year. nj is closer to ny than md haha so we can help each other. def will be the first g5 haha we dont even exist in the f/i world really yet

 

haha if you need help man i'm down to give a hand since i'm hoping to have a new job and better pay soon : then maybe we'll be doing both at the same time

 

wideband
injectors
injector harness
spark plugs

not sure what comes with the procharger kit but my guess is you will need some intake piping and an airfilter...not sure hopw your going to re route the intake piping but i guess it can be done

 

whelp.. bump from the dead.. and a year later

if everything goes well there should be a 2.4 ion kit ( balt kit shouold be pretty much the same with a different bracket ) by the end of the month

 

Wait... so theres almost a kit completed for the ion 2.4? Wow. thats awesome. the bracket is the only thing that I have been troubling over since I dont have time to tare some parts out of my dd and design one.

I'm super interested....

Is it possible that a tune will be available with a kit then?

 

i think tune will be custom.. unless people want to wait a bit longer ... I had the kit on my ion.. and running.. however the bracket was resting on the valve cover and motor mount so it needs to be shaved down a bit, this caused me to take the setup off me car because i was thinking there was something wrong with the blower...

so if people car wait for another like 4 months or so when i can get tuning finalized maybe vince can work out a deal with smp/ aas tuning to have a tune with the kit...

he started working on the tune with me but we only got like 2 logs in before i took the kit back off ...

if i can find a 2.4 in my area and they have the money to buy the parts I can definately help them setup everything as well as installation because i've done the install just about everything 3 times lol

it really is a n easy setup to work with considering i was able to do it all myself and i've never done any work of this nature on my car..

this is a vid of the first start



this is a little walk around at the end you can hear the grinding noise from the inside.. it's pretty crazy



overall the setup sounded sick.. I'm personally going to find some way to quiet it down because i'm going for a stealthier operation and having a jet under my hood isn't really stealth lol

the reason it's going to be a bit before the kit is reinstalled is because my alternator kicked the bucket and i need to make sure the new one is in good shape first.. also i have to work on paying off all the money i've spent on the kit so far.. and look at getting a second car

if anyone has any questions about the kit or anything i'm running just ask my pm box is usually full so send me an im on aim at digital0785 or on yahoo at avatar20030




if someone has an ion i can very easily help then out .. even over online.. SMP makes the brackets as well as just about everything ... the only thing they don't make that you'll need is a maf section.. which you can use an intake if you have one or buy a 76mm maf section from a mustang lol (it's a slot style maf like ours) or you could use the spectre kit 9405 as well
