From what I've heard, there is a LOT of moddability to be had in the Ecotec series of motors. In case you missed the other thread, I plan on boosting the car, and I was wondering:
- This motor is higher compression then anything I've worked with, so I notice you have to run a lot lower boost then I'm used to. What are the "tried and true" limitations of the 2.4L motor in terms of boost/whp? With my old car I had a good idea of how much the average car could take in terms of boost and WHP before having to worry about internals...so I was wondering the same. This is a relatively new motor it seems, so finding facts on what it can take seem difficult when there are only a few people playing with them right now.
- What is the weak point of the Sky's driveline? When should I expect to need a clutch, and when does the diff/transmission tend to give out if ever? Who supplies a good clutch for higher HP applications? Anyone selling motor internals yet?
Thanks!
