Both 2.2 and 2.4 have hella horsies for what they are.

 

the sc is making over 205 to the wheels stock it was underrated from the factory. I think most 2.4s with just bolt ons and tunes make around like 180 to 190 whp? Stock lsj is around 210 to 220 stock. Im not shitting on the car, its a nice car but sometimes it confuses people that have heard of the ss versions tc or sc and most of them dont know they made a n/a version so it gets alot of **** from people but hell we all get **** from people so its not like yall alone.

 

I love me some turbo 2.4

 

Audi/VW owners are seriously the worst. I work with one and every car that isn't a VW is garbage to him. He also thinks he can swap the engine and tranny for a new Golf R into his 1991 Corrado, when he bought that already built and takes it to the mechanic for easy ****.

 

I would just race him. If anything driver mod should play a part haha

 

Buddy had a 2.4 and dyno'ed at 213 with a cold air, new manifold, chip, exhaust, and a tune.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to make the car something it isn't. It's a good little banger with good gas mileage and fun to race around - but it's not an evo...of which I plan to get next.

 

Thats what you call a happy dyno

 

I've actually been having serious problems with my 'balt. I don't really want to get into it but it will be at least two weeks until its running correctly. P301 and P103. Misfire and MAF. Already been talking to ZZP about the issue to no prevail (they are a great company, not ripping on them). I've jacked it up and ripped apart too many times in my garage than you can imagine to only have things get worse

 

Thank you, I didnt feel like explaining that to him.

 

Considering it wasn't the first time it read that high on that dyno, and it read 210 and 208 on a completely different dyno - I'm not so sure.

Like I said before, I'm not trying to male the car something it's not. That car isn't even mine - so frankly I could care less. Just saying I've seen what some hard work can do to the cute little n/a.

 

All that means is u dont live anywhere near honest dyno shop, its pretty common for people to setup dynos to read high this is the reason iv not wasted money on one, i dont want to be lied too. There is only 1 2.4 n/a in the dyno section just barely breaking 200whp an he has like everything done minus boost so im sorry but i dont believe ur friend is making 213whp or anywhere close to that prolly 180ish be my guess but im no expert on 2.4s so im sure someone else could give a better idea.

 

is it even possible to have a chip and a tune???

 

Ok I quit you all win. Just telling it like I saw it. I'm humble enough to admit I or my buddy may be wrong. And I'm no car guru, just saying what I was told and saw on paper. Frankly, I could care less, my next car will be an evo. Lol.
