Turbochargers

does anyone know where i can get one for my 99 alero

Try This

thanx just bought one

^ Wanna pick one up for me, too? It's almost my birthday.

I wonder if they'll give me one for reffering them?

Hey,
Can you get a turbo for a 2.4L 4cyl. alero?? Would that be a good thing to get?? I don't want to buy a whole new engine to get some hp in the thing. I want a v6 or the power of a v6. I just don't want to spend the money on a new v6 engine or a new alero. I love the car I have!! Thanks for the replies. And my car is stock so where could I get a good ground effects kit?? Thanks.

I don't know about turbo's for the 2.4 because I have the 3400, but I think you can find one. A good place to start for some power is CAI, exhaust, and headers.

The razzi kit is the only ground effect kit right now. You can find it on www.razzi.com or www.pfyc.com(banner at the top of the screen). But there are a few body kits out, check www.andysautosport.com and click on body kits then oldsmobile, there is another body kit I can't mention but email me and I will tell you, and an OSV kit is in the works. I may have forgot one but I don't remember right now.

Best place to look for the 2.4 is in the 2.4 section, read through all of the info in there and you'll find all the answers you need.

Thanks alot!!!! I appreciate the help. I don't know if I should keep this car or not though. It has 60,000 miles on it and the trade in value on the car is 10,000. It is a 4cyl and I want a v6 and a lot more power!! I want a Tiburon. The alero is a great car and fun to drive but I think I want something a little more sporty. I am just going to have to compare them and find out what is best I guess. Let me know what yall think. Thanks

not to spoil your fun, but the trade-in value on an alero with 60k is not going to be 10,000... espcially the 2.4L. Might want to check into that before you plan on trading it in for a tib.

However, we have an entire section of info on the 2.4L twin cam... check it out. There are quite a few things for that engine.

but the trade-in value on an alero with 60k is not going to be 10,000

amen to that. Wont be close to that! When I traded my other alero in a year ago it had about 54k on it and was a 99. I got 8k for it and that was making them stretch.

I thought about trading mine in too, but I would lose to much money, I'm keeping it until it is paid off and dies.

I would keep it if I were you. Like Naich said you will not get $10,000 for a trade in on that. There is alot you can do to aleros, more than I knew when I bought mine.

Thanks for the help. I guess I'll keep it!!! I could do modifications on the body cause the body is in great shape. I guess when the motor goes out I can put a new one in instead of getting a Tiburon. How much do you think it would cost to put in a v6 engine?? And I looked into the turbochargers for 2.4L and they are $2000!!! I am 18 and about to go to college so my mom thought I would get tired of this car soon and want something different. I really like the body style and the handling though. Thanks for all the help. I don't know where I found the trade-in-value at but i'm sure you are right...That is pretty high!!!

[r53silver91s]

You can find your trade in value at www.kbb.com and just click on trade in value.

And if you don't have enough for a $2000 turbo, you probably willn't have enough to change engines to the 3400 cause there is alot more involved then just swapping out motors.

Good luck man, and check out www.aleroupgrades.com and you'll find everything you need to get started. The site isn't working right now, but it will be shortly.

wow a company with proven results! Better than http://www.itsturbo.net/products/productsd...+AM&qvendor=ITS

I would like to see the intercooler, and that wastegate is in a godawful spot, but they back up their kits with dynos. Thanks for the link Insane75

or for less money, you could make your own from used parts

I want to hear more about this kit once you install it, pm me or something. Does this kit, bolt directly onto our cars. I know its made for the grand am and our parts are interchangable, but its a complete bolt on? Also, does anyone know if its an adjustable alki kit? and do you need new internals for this kit? I wouldn't mess with the boost but, just for the stock settings would you need them? thanks.

ITS turbo is a joke. their shop is/was about 5 minutes from my house, but i know they were having a lot of financial trouble, and pissed off a lot of people. they have a really bad reputation locally, as well as on the net.

I got an email back from their rep. and heres what he said

"The car made 220 horsepower and 255 torque at the wheels @ 5 lbs boost on the dyno; the guy who owns this car plans to take it to about 10 lbs. as soon as he gets his tranny re-done. The price is good through the end of this month or as soon as the existing stock of kits is sold. The alcohol injection is programmable, and the chip will also be available very soon at a price of $400."

Has any alero owner actually put this on their cars yet?

Tricked alero claimed to have boughten one for his alero... any word on if that's true, and if so how it runs?
