Boost

tell you one thing, HHR pulls like crazy until it noticed eh something is wrong and goes into power reduce mode...
stay tuned.
thanks for all the compliments, cant wait to show you what we can do to this HHR

Thanks for the input. Let us know what you have in store for the 2.4L. I don't believe anyone who says it can not be s/c ed. All you need to do is lower the C/R to 8.5 or lower. no more then 4 to 6 psi boost and look out !!!
Instant Go.
Thanks again.

I'm sure there will be a work around regarding the C/R. I belong to a Ford Focus forum and know lots of people who own them. They had a similar issue with the SVT Focus because of it's VVT on the intake cam as well as 10:1 (or so) C/R. But Jackson Racing came to the rescue with their S/C kit and now several of our members are driving around in SC'd SVT Focuses. So it can be sone. I too am waiting for someone to release a SC kit for the 2.4.

hey everyone just an update the last month we have been waiting for GM to rebuild and get me a new VCI which is a vehicle calibration file.
there is nothing for the vehicle to change the settings in the computer. the kit was off the cavy and sunfire eco and they use a different style computer.
we have engineers working on this file, the vehicle pulls like crazy until it sees boost for more then 5 sec then goes into limp mode (engine power reduced)
but other then that the kit is on and you can drive it nicely just cant be hammering on it yet
shortly hopefully the new VCI will be ready and i can program the computer and get this thing fully boosting...
thanks again
