I was just wondering if any one has boosted a 2000 z24 without changing any of the engine internals I would like to know how much boost I can run safely and what size injectors should I use. If any one can direct me to a link on this forum where someone has their setup mapped out that would be wonderfull ,Thanks for any input
?I can't find anything on turbo charging the LD9 only ecotec 2.4L ,Maybe I am missing something obvious ....
Check my registry.
I have an all stock motor and push 11psi.
Car is still running to this day with about 22k miles on the setup.
Later,
Jeff

I say be careful dude, I was running 7psi for almost a year and 30k and I broke a piston land, stopped my engine pretty quick. But it worked well for almost a year, I would recommend pistons and rods, but that is just my personal thoughts. Maybe run a little richer and keep temp. down, that might help.. I also raced alot and really used my engine..

I would say if you are using the map and injectors, then the reflash is a must. If using factory map then it not useful. It is really cheap to get the reflash (40 CND, 30USD) so it is a pretty nice way to aid in setting up fuel, a piggy back is still recommended though.
Sounds like you've really done your home work, with the whole parts list.
good luck

Wow, where are you getting the reflash done for $30 usd??
Dealerships around here charge a good $100 for something like that...

I just went to the local dealership, my friend who worked there said it costs about 35CND for a normal reflash, and for this one he ahd to call around a bit so he chardged me a little more.
it worked great
kinda sucks that I am selling my entire kit cause I blew my engine, such a waste of a good reflash.

Jeff-
GM cannot charge you for the software, but they can charge you for the labor. Its usually about 1 hours worth (even though it only takes 10 minutes), so depending on what dealer you go to, either they charge you the actual labor rate, or the book rate.

unless your friend works at the dealership, and helps you out on his spare time, we just paid to use the machine.
to get the reflash GM needs the last 8-digits of your VIN, and then they get a vehicle specific reflash, so all your factory options still work, I think it just gives them a record incase of warranty issues
