i'm kinda new to the tuner scene and am looking for advice on doing a turbo for my 99 sunfire gt with the 2.4l... i hear its a waist of time but would like to kno wat you guyz think..and wat alls involved with the comp and injectors.. like wat all really needs to be done.
Dave you should check out the sticky information at the top of the boost section. It has a lot of useful information about forced induction and where to begin. In my opinion, if done properly, ie you spend the time and money to get quality parts it is not a huge waste of time. When turboing a vehicle you will definitely need to upgrade to larger injectors and retune your ECU. Before going out and buying parts I suggest doing a lot of research because it is not a simple process. Best of luck man
Boosting a 2.4 is fine just, beware of the knocking.
Lower comp ratio pistons are needed if you want to run alot of boost, anything over 13-15 and you better do it.
You can run 6-10 with supporting mods on a stock block just as long as you have built the turbo kit right.
As for the injectors thats really the way you want to do it with your fuel mods, some people run stock inj. and up the pressure.
Some keep stock pressure and use bigger injectors. Depends on what you want to do tell us more about what you are wanting out
of the kit (HP# Torque#)
T25 for up to 170-190
T28 for up to 225-250
T3/T4 for up to 400
anything over that you will be blowing more cash then you are boost.
Read the stickies at the top of the fourm for the basics

well lets see, i just bought a 99 sunfire and got a turbo to go along with it, i kno wat it will take to install and run all the oil lines blow off valve waist gate etc.. and i kno there will be issues with the comp and fuel cause its set up for stock. i just wanted to kno if there was anything i should really look out for and where in winnipeg mb you can get the comp flashed.
I would check your local forums and see if anyone around you has hp tuners that would be your best bet.
