[pureitaliano17]

Hello, I wanted to know what is the best turbo charger for a 2001 Grand am with a 2.4L twin cam, and roughly how much it goes for.

I dont think there is one.

If i had to guess on price to build one and tune your car your likely lookin at $3K+.

With the 2.4L Twin Cam your lucky because you can most likely get a J-Body kit to fit with few modifications.

there is no kit. a lot of time and effort has to go into it. a few people have done it, but most people in your situation would do the GM supercharger instead of going turbo. The GM charger IS a kit for 99+ and is relatively inexpensive.

by the way...... FYI you don't have a V4.

hahaha V4, nice catch, didnt even notice it.

I dont think he is ready for boost if he thinks he has a V4 :lol:

Every one has always told me my car had a v4, so instead of making fun of me do you mind doing me a favor and letting me know what it is classified as.

Go look under the hood of your car and look what it is. Its fairly easy to tell what is a I4 or V4.

BTW if you do a turbo itll be a ton of custom fab work and around 3-4k.

Look at your exhaust manifold. It will be on one side if it is an I4 if you had a V4 (which you definately do not) you would have two exhaust manifolds just like a V6 motor.

Are you looking for just a turbo? or a whole set-up?

The consensus on other boards is that a T3 Super 60 is a good sized turbo with fast spool up and still big enough to make most people happy.

You could always go with a GT30R or something in that range if your looking for more power, the BB turbos spool quickly and put out big numbers.

You can get a pretty nice log manifold on ebay for under $200. If you want big numbers, anything over 300+HP, Id look into getting a custom header style manifold made.

Charge pipes will probly run you around the $200 ballpark, just buy 2 of the universal kits off Ebay and youll have more then enough.

Intercooler will cost you anywhere from $100-$500, depending on size and if you want a brand name or not.

BOV - $30-$150, again dependant on if you want brand name stuff

Fuel and tuning can be had for as little as around $300. Thats if you can get some used 310cc injectors and the 2 bar map from the GM S/C kit. Then just go to the dealership for a reflash. Or you can go all out and get some bigger injectors from RC or Accel or someone like that and tune with HP tuners. The latter option will cost considerably more.

You also might want to look into a higher capacity fuel pump, or inline fuel pump, a wastegate if you choose to go external. I'm sure theres somthing else I may have overlooked.

All together, it can be done for under 2 grand if you buy carefully. This is of course under the assumption that you're looking for an extra little kick in the seat and not looking to dethrone Spy or anything, if thats what your plan is, you're looking at a hell of alot more.
