L61 Turbo/Super (forced induction) Information Thread
#201
yes, but as i recall GM focused the attention to the L61 and put out the M62 supercharger after the LSJ was released....so if they follow that trend with the LNF...then they may release either a supercharger (prolly not since the Eaton contract is up) or a turbocharger...makes one think

does ne1 know if the garrett turbo on cobaltperformanceparts.com actually works/ or is street legal
itd be a real big help to kno if im buyin a piece of **** that dont work or the real thing
does anyone know the limits to the drivetrain warranty
wut u can and cant replace without voidind the warranty
id really like to start workin on ma performance but im worried bout voiding out the warranty on ma car n yea thats a big no no ya feel me
so hahn and garrett is the same turbo
giv me an update on if its worth buyin or not **** the emissions they dont do tests down here for anything
i live in louisiana and u pull up to the place they slap a sticker on ya windshield sayin ya car runs fine n u dont gotta go see em for another couple months all u need is a license registration n proof of insurance so i aint worried bout emissions down here i jus wanna kno if it works or not
also thanks ghetto racer im downloading all those instructions right now
big help

I'm not that well read on the Turbo 2.2 options since it never really interested me. What I can tell you though is once that turbo goes on, kiss your warranty goodbye. I'm sure anything engine, suspension, etc related will be voided by any dealer since its such a major mod. Perhaps you might still be able to get things like the interior, electronics, radio etc warrantied, but definetly not the engine or trans.
#205
are you talking about the gt2860rs? or? cause if so i think it would be street legal of course you would need to update some things like ur pcm maybe injectors a boost controller turbo timer and maybe spark plug coils I just got a free turbo from a friend im gunna see if the exhaust turbine housing from the gt28 will fit on it or not i hope so! lol
#209
So a few pages back, Halfcent you said that the 2.2 auto could run on the Garrett turbo kit(I THINK THATS WHAT YOU SAID, SORRY IF I'M WRONG). You said that it would tear the tranny up cause of the hp gain. What if you just accelerate really slow till your in your final gear and then give it gas, could it work like that since it no longer has to shift.
#212
I'll you give that. But they are using high octane race gas while on the track to achieve 500HP, which isn't street legal. If they used the highest street legal octane gas (about 93 depending on where you live), they will only get in the mid 300HP range. Also, they aren't using the stock ECM to achieve that. And hence they don't have power steering, electronic throttle, or working instruments.
Additionally, above 500HP, the stock coil-on-plug ignition system no longer works. You must use an aftermarket system, like the Moroso distributor style system, which is not street legal.

I have 110 and 112 race gas only about 3 minutes down the road and I basically live in the middle of nowhere

so...has anybody successfully gone turbo on an 07 2.2l LS 5spd yet w/ piggyback ecu from AEM (part # 30-1910)? if so, what did your programming curves look like? how hard was it to keep the proper air/fuel ratios, and how long did it take to program? what is the safest boost to run on just the stock engine/tranny setup (until i go forged and get a better clutch)?
i was thinking i would get a dual port wastegate actuator and run low boost at 5psi with high boost either at 9 or 10psi...which should give me about a 35-50hp gain without killing my engine.
i can get the F/IC for 404 online or i can get it locally for 400.

please, before you post a question like this read more. there are parts u can use to supercharge your car. but 07's have different ECU's so you need piggy back tuning. Plus there is no real kit put together, you better know what your doing before you start a project like this. talk to yellowshowbalt, he did it, and i think hes using the smt-6 for tuning

ECM swap...highly unlikely...Piggyback with the 07's....that's the hold up on me right now...i got all the parts i need pretty much to go turbo on an 07 LS...yet no standalone tuning, no ECM reflash software...nothing...unless you go megasquirt which i haven't the slightest idea about (nor do i have the time to do it)...

i'm only building to about 220hp (9-10psi) right now until i upgrade internals to push 300+ (15-17psi) but i got my eyes set on the AEM F/IC (part#30-1910) that i found locally for 400 and a contact i know can get it for around 404 if i order it online....
i still have to build my downpipe :-\...good thing i'm a machinist...and i still have to port out my turbo manifold and weld it all together...get it ceramic coated....blah....
in a minute i'll upload pics of this manifold (that i built)

They do have a different ECM, but they have not been cracked yet. HPT has said they are fairly close because that same ECM is used in other vehicles. I believe they needed a test vehicle.
