Just wondering where anyone with a boosted 2.4 blew something? If youre a boosted 2.4 please chime in with how much boost you're pushing, how long you've been driving it boosted, how much you drive it, and whether or not anything has broken...

 

38 psi on a gt42r w/ meth injection through 2 10gph nozzles. I popped the first time i ever floored it. fml.

 

Glen229 blew his motor with only 10 PSI. IIRC the rods failed due to an unknown fact that some LE5 motors built in late 07 and early 08 didn't come with forged rods.

Edit: here is the link to his thread- https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/2-4l-le5-performance-tech-46/re-dynod-10psi-summer-212577/

 

06 2.4 w/ 50 trim turbo. 10 psi and ive had it boosted for about 12k now

 

12 psi for the last 5,000 miles 100 shot of nitrous went thru a bottle a week for 25,000 miles

 

only 2 people have popped that i know of.. a g5 (idk what year 07 i think) and glen) both possibly contributing to gms short stint of non forged rods in the le5 (supposedly) the g5 popped doing top speed runs and a not custom tune

my car is boosted.. i did use it as my dd.. then my belt snapped/ tensioner broke (not a problem for a turbo car) and just about that time I got a second car so that is now my dd.. so i can build up my ion but i dd'ed it for 6 months or so and beat the **** out of it. i dd'ed it for a month again but now i'm doing some more work to it ..

 

I have a early model 06 2.4... Been boosted for about a year and a couple of months already. I'm at 14psi since october, before then was 8psi.

 

Which brings me to a another question hows the 2.2's holding up?

 

Push rods? lolwut?

When did he swap to an ls1?

 

Hey dragonsfire, how can you tell if yours is an "early"06 model or not?

 

Build date on sticker on driver's door.

 

There is no real limits. It's all in the tune and the quality of the parts you use. I'm sure if someone was daring you could push this motor to 500 whp with no real issues. People don't realize there's also a lot of maintenance and parts inspecting that needs to be done so you can see an issue before it happens.

 

ZZP blew there trans o n their 2.4 turbo kit

 

oops my bad

 

figure it is, cuz I got mine the first week the 2.4 was at the dealership.

 

early 06s have the smaller antenna threading. late models have the same threading as the newer balts. mine is a late model.
