GenV swap working with zzp S2 IC?
- Thread starter The Broken Regal
- Start date
The Gen V outlet ends about an inch closer to the belts than the Gen 3, so if you kept the gen 3 s2 IC, you are making a tough path for the flow....... I'd say that it is probably easier to sell the S2 IC and go buy a new Gen V IC then to start swapping cores and plates...........
You might be able to separate the plates and modify them to fit the Gen V, If the core goes far enough, you could just cut back the plate

? I thought the GenV outflows any gen3 no matter how well its ported or not?
Hell, a few people i know have gained 20+whp by switching AND pullying up...
It technically will bolt up. You will have a 1 inch lip over the outlet however. People have still done it and have gained HP. Probably would gain more if a gen V core was used though.
If you are sticking with rockers, skip the gen v. If you don't already have one...get an anti-slip system instead. The smallest pulley you can get away with is a 2.8 to 3.0 pulley anyway. At that level the gen 3 is still on the edge of it's efficency range.
even if you sell your blower for 300, get 400 for the core, you still need to spend 500 on a blower, 100 on a tb adapater (ASSuming you already have a 75mm tb), and 500 for a gen v ic core.....
that extra 400 bucks would be better spent on a set of 3.29 gears if you dont already have them.....car will be quicker, and the 7/8 chain is a nice supporting mod.
like ron said, if you are sticking with 1.9's, since you already have the ic, and ported blower, it's not THAT benefical to swap to the gen v
build all the hp you want, but that's not really the right approach to be fast.
What I mean by that is the whole car is a system. Not only do you have the opportunity to make the car fast by raw HP. You have weight, traction, gearing, Tq converter...yada yada. The best builds match things well.
It wouldn't be much of a band if the guitar was turned up so high you couldn't hear the other instruments would it?

car already has 3.69s
im not going to gut the car, i think soon mike will give it a fresh tune
before going cam, i'd rather go turbo, and its looking like a better and better move right now.
if im already maxxed out for mods unless i go cam/turbo, this is the next thing to do, and i like the fact that it should give gains even after going up a pulley size...
dammit, why dont i just go turbo

You are going to peak power just under 6K as it sits, if you went cam then it would be a good idea to go Gen V to give you a little more headroom. The other alternative is to retard the cam 2 degrees with the rockers and add a gen V....with your gearing the car would scoot. It would raise the rpm range about 500 rpm; I would make sure you had 105's on the motor.
I couldnt agree more Ron. So many people just add more and more power but never bother with anything else beyond maybe a tire. Things need to be thought out if you want good results. How many people have cars that "should" run x time on paper?
there we go!
car has 105#s... the tune for when ryan got it to 13.5 @ 105 or whatever was the one from the previous owner, and it was shifting at 6k... now its higher timing but the engine only whinds to 5800ish
either way, i was just wondering and planning, gotta get a tune, or go back to the old one and adjust from there
car loves to rev high with the trans... LSD in it too fwiw
