I plan on the build being sometime in mid-late October. I am getting dyno'd October 2nd to see what I am putting down right now and will be dyno'd afterwards as well. It will be on a dynojet dyno.

 

Another S/C G5 comes to life.....

 

the first G5 GT though

 

Oh snap I hadn't considered that! First in Houston or at all?

 

wait is that seriously all you need to s/c a 2.4? doesnt look like a lot...

 

Good luck wit build

 

The list excludes misc. nuts and bolts, connectors + wiring, brackets, etc. but thats it in a nutshell.

 

I was wondering if you were gonna start a thread here or not. Sweet!

 

There are probably at least a dozen s/c G5's out there.

 

Are there any other G5 GT S/C though? Auto or manual? Too bad nobody is really keeping track.

 

ya as far as i know there are no sc'd GTs there are more then a few just 2.2 G5s. but with my 2.4 as far as i know there are none that are SC'd. there's a couple that are turbo'd.

 

is it safe for me to run the 2.9 or the 2.8 on my 2.4 and not worry about me having higher compression and blowing my **** up?

 

has anyone put a thicker head gasket on their 2.4 to lower the compression for boost? it sounds like a good idea to me.

 

i dont think so but i will for sure look into this while doing mine.

 

figured id throw my 2 cents in there. let me know if you do this. it could save alot of 2.4 engines from blowin

 

i dont know of any 2.4's that have blown their engines really. other then one guy on g5club

 

i thought g5 gt's were 2.2?

 

Xander don't lower your compression. 93 octane will handle it just fine.

 

they are like the cobalt ss/na
09 they have a 2.2

even if i were to take it to the track and what not?

 

its gona handle low boost with the stock 10:1 compression but high boost is gona snap a rod because that supercharger is going to pack way to much fuel and air in the cylinder and snap goes your rod.

the ss/sc has like 8.8:1 compression so they can handle more boost.

 

It will be fine and won't snap a rod. I've honestly never seen a rod snap in an ecotec. Every engine failure I have encountered has been piston or sleeve related.

Xander you will not have an issue. I won't go into detials now but if you want more just shoot me a text and I'll explain. Its all in the allowed timing advance and knock threshold.

 

thats kinda what i figured, it all has to do with tuning. if i get a good tune then ill be fine but a bad tune would cause serious problems

 

there is one guy here in ontario that is a g5 gt surpercharged

 

advancing the timing would be a plus so it doesnt ignite as early in the stroke. it would let the piston almost hit TDC before it ignites then combustion lag allows the piston to pass TDC before it completely ignites the whole cylinder.
I wasnt forsure if a tune could advance the timing is why i was worried
