Full interior, 2001 Grand Am. My car basically. Some of the mods may be out of date on my profile but hey your loss right?

Running on slicks, somewhere between 8-13lbs of boost.

Oh yeah, overweight n-body w/ the quad 4 for the BIG WIN!

and honestly, nobody even realizes until they see me in the waterbox heating up the the tires.

okay since people are speculating how I got a manual tranny. I'll clue everybody in, since my build up is VERY basic, just comprehensive for the most part.

2001 Pontiac Grand Am (SE coupe model) base of the base of the base
factory options
-tape deck am/fm radio
-manual windows
-decklid spoiler deleted
-power locks (that's all the power you need)
-ugly taupe tan whatever interior

This particular 2001 grand am model came with a 2.4L twin cam engine mated to a Getrag F23 transmission. People always go HOLY @!#$ A MANUAL!.?

OMGZ yes there were a few that sneaked by w/ a manual. So few, because most people option for the v6 engine which never came with a manual tranny option.

Anyways, basics of the buildup.

Here's what I posted on quad4forums of the specs of my build up

my build is.............

Bottom end:

9.5:1 JE slugs stock bore
eagle rods
stock crank
bottom end balance/blueprint

head:

1995 2.3L intake cam
1992-1994 2.3L LO exhaust cam
stainless steel valves
bronze guides wooowooo big horsepower
head work

2.3HO intake manifold
LS1 75mm throttle body

ebay log turbo manifold w/ 2.4L head flange
Garrett GT30R turbo
2.5inch downpipe
3inch exhaust w/ Apexi N1 "Turbo" muffler
TiAL 38mm wastegate
TiAL blow off valve
ebay intercooler

a/c delete
Cat converter delete
M&H Racemaster slicks 24.5x8.5x15 on stock 6.5 wide steelie *no they dont slip on the rim*
one step colder than stock NGK plugs
Walbro intank super fancy fuel pump
AEM Adjustable fuel pressure regulator
Dealership acquired GM Supercharger reflash for the 2.4L
HPtuners to be able to make the reflash work w/ my big boy injectors
750cc/72lb RC Engineering injectors
AEM Wideband

B&M short throw shifter
fancy carbon fiber knob
nice "race" pedals from the Exedy booth at SEMA 2005
SPEC stage 3 clutch
broken and disconnected MSD *it's for show use only*
really really tiny and small battery
Sparco steeringing wheel
a bunch of gauges monitoring fuel pressure, boost, wideband o2, and basically whatever I want.

Did I forget something?

I would say that's as comprehensive as it gets, for me this late at night.


-Trailblazer SS - not so custom 6.0L - custom intake - custom tune
- (1) 2.4L on an engine stand (1) blown trans (2) good quad trans (1) eco trans = party

I thought it was reasonably well known that the I4 grand am's were available in manual. I would think that most that see how fast you are just assume that you're running a V6 and that's why are surprised about it being a manual.

Naw they don't count. Those are weekend toys.

All I need to get ready for the track is a trunk w/ a jack, two wheels w/ sticky icky, a wrench and a tire pressure gauge.



But JUST because you HAD to bring up the turbo L67's.... don't worry I'll be hitting some 11 second times soon enough. It's taken me awhile but I"m finally getting all the bugs out of this bastardized wannabe quad motor.



Nice to see you still around.
