Steve
Yeah - I also here the GMPP Supercharger is the best of the 2.4L TC (LD9). While it does provide the 70-80 hp boost that most people would expect (because it's not intercooled), it does provide great reliability. Which is great for a daily driver. Some members are even running mid to high 13 sec 1/4's with this supercharger .
Also there are actually several good companies (at least according to the board members) that provide perfomance parts for the j-bodies. Just look at the Performance section of this board.
I ran the GMPP S/C on my 00 when I had it and my 02. I probably put a total of about 40K miles on it. The only issues I had were my own fault (yep I take responsibility for its failures, not pass the blame) first was I wrecked my 00 and cracked the housing where the TB bolts on, had that welded up and ran it on the 02. While on my 02 I managed to blow out the front snout seal. That was due to a combination of to much oil in the S/C and running a 2.4" pulley on it. I know I was over spinning the S/C but thats what it took to get any decent amount of boost from it. After replacing the seal and starting over with a 2.6" pulley I eventualy worked back down to the 2.4" and ran that up until I switched to turbo. The GMPP S/C is great for a daily driver, but with my engine and spinning the @!#$ out of the S/C I was only making a little over 220HP at th wheels. That was not my goal with the car. However I may still use the S/C on my 98 Z24 an get some more use out of it yet.
so u was getting 220 whp with just the 2.4 pulley? nothing other?
Built motor. Its in my registry. I will have to update it when I do the new build. With a stock motor and GMPP S/C 2.8" stosck pulley, 2.3 HO TB, Bills/Stans header, 2.5" exhaust. I put down 191 WHP and about 172 TQ. Built motor with GMPP S/C, 2.4" pulley, OBX 4-1 header, 2.5" dump before cat, and 2.3 HO TB bored to 60mm I put down 226.5 HP and 190.8 TQ at the wheels. The S/C is great for DD use but did not suit me needs as I feel it was basicly maxed out on my engine and S/C reflash.
thanks , i am putting the s/c on my 2.4 this weekend and that helps me out , i got what u had on urs with the 191 whp..
now i kinda got an idea of what im getting
thanks
im just hoping to hit 200 whp .. and i will be happy ...with meth inj.and 2.5 pulley ..added to what i got , im hoping to hit 200 , we will see
Hey guys thanks alot for all the info, what does the charger bring the hp to on stock 2.4l with no mods? also I just picked up a pacesetter header and full magnaflow exaust with a AEM Crank pully, what do u think roughly my hp will be after i boost it with the GM charger, im very intrested in getting this, but before i do i want to make sure it is worth the money, i know a guy at GM that is getting me a deal on it
what is the price for one from GM i have not priced one out yet i know its expensive does anyone know the price? Canadian dollars
If you go with a small crank pulley you will not see the full gain from the S/C. As stated above with stock engine, 4-2-1 stans header, 2.5" exhaust, and a 56mm TB I made 191 HP at the wheels. I paid about $2300 for mine after tax when I worked at an Olds dealer. That was back in 04.
i got mine for 1580$ shipper (US)
Gret place .i just ordered mine today ..if nayone is interested let me know and maybe i can see if we get more ppl to order ..maybe a group discount or something

after im done with my eco, i wouldnt mind to get an 00-02 z24 and do the m45 s/c on it and go all out performance on the m45 as a DD. i wonder what the limits on the M45 are???
about 10 psi ... is what i hear ..
But im fine with that since it is my DD
anyone know were you can get the 10psi pulley for the GM 12498660 supercharger. im looking for one
