Alicia... FYI... at last weekend's Pro Solo in Utah... the new Turbo SS took 2nd in DS...

8 tenths off of the reigning BMW 135 overlord.

 

 

must be a popular month. several of my friends have one this month: 1st, 2nd, 4th, 15th, 16th, 17th. every weekend is a blowout. good times.

 

It's the cold winter nights LOL

 

i don't wanna think about that

 

Tim... you have had some GREAT posts when talking about the subject...



Made my otherwise slow day!

 

Haha... great post Tim.

This.

 

hey witt i sent you a pm if you get a chance

 

If it was the LSJ intake manifold we'd have a deal..

Is the LSJ exhaust manifold and dp the same as my 2.4 one? If so, how much? I have a few friends with LS's.. They both have exhausts, so they may be interested in a larger diameter dp as well if it's a good price..

I've never really looked at the s/c idea in depth until very recently, but does an LSJ intake manifold / blower come up for sale locally here often? Or will that definitely need to be purchased from another area? I know there's alot of s/c's around here, but no-one really converting to t/c.. So basically I'm just asking how common it is to find a local member selling one or both parts and what kind of price ranges they are.. I started looking at other members for sale areas, but always like to give local guys business first..

 

I haven't seen too many for sale locally

 

i've hardly seen any around here for sale. keep an eye on the classified section though for guys doin turbo swaps. if you do get one it's most likely comin from another state.

 

I'm gettin a new supercharger from Baierl for free

 

blow yours up already? gotta love warranty work! my dp (cracked flex) was replaced and the entire clutch system except for the plate.

 

coupler is all screwed up and it sounds like marbles rolling around inside my supercharger

35,000 miles on the car...

 

wow, nice. 36k warranty or is yours an '07?

 

hahaha... I know all about the last minute warranty issues...

I just pulled my car into Joe Ball for some issues, 35,964 miles when I parked it... HAHA.

 

111 K miles and my SC is still in tact...

Every now and then when I'm parked downhill, the car will give me the marble sound on startup.

 

You owned them for sure!

 

36K/3 year bumper to bumper and 60K/5year powertrain warranty (05's and 06's were that way)

The Marble sound is the coupler inside the supercharger that couples the nose of the supercharger to the blades inside the supercharger....Easy to fix.

 

103k on mine and also running strong. *knock on wood*

does anyone have any experience with or have knowledge of any problems with the zzp pcm?

 

OOO by the way here's the link to the coupler that you need to replace to fix the "marbles in the supercharger" noise...

probably will pick one up when time to stage. after 103k miles it's prolly about due.

 

Yea it makes no sense. GM has been having this problem for years and years with the Grand Prix's and Then when they put them on the Montie SS's that were supercharged again they had that issue. I mean you would think they would come up with a much better solution...

 

They did. It's on the 2008 Cobalt SS.

 

Sad but true.

And damn you Brian for bringing up the promising SCCA results. I'd love to have a more powerful, better handling car and still be in stock class. LOL.
