Will there Ever be a 2.4 GM S/C?
plz keep this post in general
Will GM ever release a S/C for the 2.4 that wont void warranty?
i've really been thinkin about it lately and i'm starting to regret going with the 2.4.... i know that if i decide to put and aftermarket turbo/S/C on it, it'll get a hefty hp/tq gain... but i dont want to void a 7 year warranty in my first year of owning the car. and i know my parents most definatly wont let me **** it up either. so SS/SC is starting to sound real nice especially w/ stage kits. but i dont know if i can convince them to trade in for a SS/SC even if i made the extra payments i still dont think they would i just dont know what to do... any ideas, thoughts, advice or input would be appreciated

I cannot wait for them to come out with this. I like my car a lot and it is quick, but an SS should be fast. If GM does not release the supercharger for the 2.4 by this time next year I will probrably just get rid of mine and go with something with more power. I honestly thought that going with the 2.4 was a good idea because if we could add f/i to this engine it will be badass.

A supercharged 2.4 wouldn't take long to eat the stock tranny. They should have given us the beefier tranny that the S/C has. Maybe the S/C tranny will bolt up???

Haha a tranny is yet another reason I switched, I would need mine to last longer than 100K miles, if the 2.4 w/ F/I would even last that long. But that was the 5spd. I don't know how strong the auto is on these 2.4s.

The 2.4 VVT has an extra 21hp and 8lbs-ft compared to the TC. Not to mention the VVT allows for a flatter torque curve than the TC. And that's impressive because the TC had 155lbs-ft from 2400-4400rpm.

I don't see GM doing one. The 2.4 has too high of a compression ratio to be reliable while pumping 10-15 lbs of boost.
10.4:1 on the 2.4L is somewhat higher compared to the 9.5:1 on the 2.0L.
