ok i bought my redline today. so we have two now. lets hear some feedback on a topic. i work very closely with select manufactures. one of these (at this time i can not say who sorry they dont want the bother while working on this project) i am working with now; we are discussing removing the s/c and constructing a full bolt on turbo kit for the ion r/l and the colbalt ss. this kit would come with front mount all the piping rc injectors external wastegate and bov. a new intake manifold to replace the s/c and turbo exhaust manifold with the downpipe. fuel managment will either be provided via a piggy back or available stand alone (via aem ems). this kit should with the testing done so far be good for a little more than 400whp as long as the engine testing goes okay. we have spoke to a few higher ups at gm's racing devision and they do say the motor should be fine at 400whp. they said our crank is extremely capable and the rods and pistons should be fine also. the only question was regarding the valve springs and going to a dual setup. which if needed would come with the kit via ferrea.
okay heres the real question we are going to try to keep pricing for the whole setup somewhere between 3500-4500$ depending on what ends up being needed. and hope to offer a few trims on the turbo like the srt-4 has. how many here would say they are interested in this upgrade??? i am trying to get enough feedback to have them start asap. they will if they feel there is enough demand for this type of kit. THIS WILL NOT BE A TWINCHARGE SETUP as we feel the restriction of the s/c on the intake side would not allow the gains we hope to achieve. my second r/l will be used in testing and fabrication. so the car is already available and can start soon.
let me know from everyone what you all feel about this type of conversion.
my people will be checking in here to view this thread. so please if you have good feedback and are excited about this please say so. i we can get more than a few people highly intereted they said they will start very soon. i will be posting this on the colbalt forum as well as this kit will fit both cars. if you have any questions please ask i will try to answer them the best i can or i will direct them to the actual turbo comapny and give you thier response. i am all for this myself i hope other will be also!!! thanks
