I mean just because the turbo is nearly maxed out doesn't mean that you can't make it more efficient. That's the other thing, mopar really is providing a great aftermarket, and I'm not saying that GM can't do the same, but Mopar already has a 2-3 year head start.Īlso, w/ turbo cars, you can really increase power a lot with simple mods. SRT-4's are running 12s w/ stock turbos and other mods to increase flow. Lastly, isn't the turbo nearly maxed on the SRT4 meaning adding more than a few pound of boost would require internal engine modification?Ī 70 dollar smaller pulley for the supercharger on that ION would make the car very interesting. how do you know that it isn't that at the wheels, how do you know that it's not the same deal as the SRT4? You assume that this car really is 200HP at the crank. Just wishfull thinking.Īsk yourself the following 3 questions of you will. mount the engine with the crank pulley facing the radiator like it should be, and drop it in say a. They could use the SC 3800 heads and the N/A intake and put a turbo on it. if they were smart they'd bring back the name GNX and make a RWD Buick with a 3800 and a big Turbo on it. engines with superchargers and turbos are fairly easy to modify and get real results from modification, and it's easy to "de-modify" if needed. but I am a fan of power adders so I'd go for the 215HP SC engine. I'd rather have the Colbalt then over the Saturn. I can't comfortably afford the new GTO as badly as I want it. Fun fun fun, but you'll have to wait one more year of course.Īs far my opinion on the General going Compact Tuner, hate to say this but if insurance costs keep going up on the V-8's like they are a kids only option unless he or she has a wallet stuffed with serious cash, is a hopped up 4banger. The better of the motors to me is the 2.4 that already makes a good 170hp without any power adders, new headers, intake and exhaust would jump it to 200hp then slap a s/cer on there for at least 250hp. followed later on by a 215+hp s/ced motor. From what I hear, the base motor will remain to be the 140hp 2.2, then a 2.4 170hp Eco. You might want to wait till the Colbalt comes out, since alot of people don't like the center gauge idea. I think GM came a little late on delivering this product, but its good news for Ecotec owners with the supercharger. I really do not think it will deter young drivers from the import market and I am not overly impressed with all the instrument gauging in the center of the car. Also they went with more of a import tuner look, which is popular, but is not GM's image. The Dodge SRT-4 is in the same ball park money wise and carries an extra 30HP and carries the same horsepower of the bit more money but naturally aspirated Acura RSX Type S. It's a step in the right direction for GM, but when the competition continuously comes out with something more powerful in the same price range, they cannot compete. You can get a new one from Saturn/Chevy for about $30.Engine : 4 cylinder, supercharged DOHC, front engine FWDĦ0-0 braking distance : 125 ft(estimated) ![]() Short answer: your ignition switch is bad. Refer to Programming Theft Deterrent System Components in SI. Important: The 30-Minute Learn Procedure must be performed after the ignition switch has been replaced. Refer to Ignition and Start Switch Replacement in SI. An inconsistent contact inside the ignition switch between the printed circuit board and the contact finger may cause a no start condition. When the key is rotated from the RUN to the START position there is a voltage signal sent to the BCM that goes through the PASSLOCK™ resistor in the ignition switch. Diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) B2960 and/or B3033 may be set in history in the body control module (BCM).
