What about cams/valvetrain?

We got the power without cams. Also, we are not increasing the rev limit and found no need to upgrade the valvetrain for this amount of power.

What I meant was, do you guys offer upgraded cams?

MidniteBlues · 08-15-2007, 06:45 PM

Will it work on an automatic?

twirp · 08-15-2007, 06:53 PM

I see you do not talk about a header for this car, Have you tried anything with a header, or had a Sky/Sol on your dyno with a header. I am very curious about the gain. I tried asking about them them but the discussion seemed to fade away. I think Clear Image had some issues & I never got a reply back from Saturn Motorsports about selling a header and not the header/ engine cover package. I would also like to see a cooler thermostat for this car as well do you see any of this in RPI's future?

Not at this time. We have tried some on other cars that gave no improvement at all. The cams got to match how the motor is set up. I will keep you guys posted if something becomes available that is beneficial.

The intake, exhaust and tune will work on the automatic but hp results may vary.

We got this power without headers. There have been a few cars that came in with headers. All had their CELs on. Maybe after some testing, its something we can include on another package, but for our stage 2, we don't want any CELs...and we don't want to disable any CEL functions.

CELs were on because of the headers or a high flow cat?
I can't see why a header would cause any problems as long as the O2 sensors are reinstalled.

It could be a combination of the two. This package was put together to give you guys the best bang for the buck in terms of real performance, real gains, service and support.

Your car will be dyno tuned while you watch (thats if you don't get bored), hood closed, no ice on the pipes, etc. We never run the cars on the dyno while engine is not at normal operating temperatures. Your gained hp run wont be done at 100F coolant temps, etc.

Waiting for the RL package.

So, if you are in the area, let me know.

Bored? You talking about me... Lol. I was keeping tabs, just didnt want to get too much in the way.

This package is what we've done to my car. I wanted a specific sporty feel, but didn't want to get too aggressive with the tune and hardware swaps. It's a balancing act full of tradeoffs, but I wanted to keep the mods safe and reliable. As that's consistent with Eloy's thinking as well, we're both happy and comfortable with this present combination. It can be pushed more, but at this level my car finally feels pretty good to me.

When do you want me down there? I'm absolutely frickin serious. I have plenty of leave time and I would love to have the first RL tune from RPI!

We use only the OEM rear fascia. For now, it is included in the price.

Give me a call.

Calling you now!

What do you have for folks who are out of the state and need to do it themselves?

People usually ship their cars to us. We have a few from the east coast. You can install the exhaust yourself, but thats about it. Everything else is done in house here.

**RickyD** · 08-30-2007, 11:11 PM

Eloy on one of your other posts you had said that usually you see about
125HP it the wheels on the stock 2.4's. Did this car have anything else done to it?
I mean it looks like the dyno says about 145 on this car?

twirp · 08-31-2007, 12:15 PM

New Dyno #s. Stock 2.4 vs. RPi goodies + Dyno Tune

Hers the link showing 125. Thats a heck of a difference. I also would like to know why the difference. I believe they use the same Dyno machine in a somewhat climate controlled environment. Maybe it's fuel quality related? I would also like to see if there is a difference between the automatic & standard transmissions.
