Thread: Filling the pocket on a gen 5 SC

It won't make any difference. The air is not flowing through that area, just dead-ending there. For the most part under boost, the air that's in there stays there....it's not being exchanged with fresh air.

Two things: quit typing short hand. Form a damn sentence.

So annoying.

Secondly; no. It makes no improvement and is a waste of time if you're not intercooled. The only reason people open it up is for the H-Bar.

The M90 is also a fat turd. Highly inefficient anyways. Turbo the thing.

1. you own a grand prix and aren't an English teacher......(he did it again)lol
2. this site kills me. we got Honda civics running around with 2 less cylinders making more power than our cars. Even with a turbo and your gp is turbo they making more!! All yall say on here is this wont work more than those kids do. The first response out theyre mouths is "try it dude". And now you see in about the same length of time that these cars have been made,what there culture is compared to ours!!! This mindset yall have of not trying things or its a waste of money, is the reason a ford focus is on need for speed and grand prixs aren't man ....like forreal man. like yall have passion but most of yall don't have that deep burning type passion that makes a GP elevate into greatness. WHERE ARE ALL THE CAR CRAZED GP LOVERS??? . the pple that make Eaton see dollar signs and decide to make new supercharger parts! Or the pple that inspire any other performance company other zzp, to invest in this following. And do this Because we are serious bout dis!! Even zzp starting to find new things to do why because GP owners don't push the bar. They understand gp pple are just going to cheap out or....buy a turbo and be content. Its sad bruh. LIKE YALL BEEN LOVING THIS CAR FOR YEARS AND THEY JUST NOW MAKING SILCONE radiator hoses


examples of how post go on here:
10 inch wide tires that stupid ..car still finds no traction?
cartuning deep trans pan ....that's stupid ....even I have broken a zzp build trans ..have tep now still seeing 200 even with cooler?
body kits ...that's stupid it doesnt fit the car ...all yall cars look the same? shrugs
power steering cooler ..thats stupid ....pples rack and pinions still failing /police impala as it?
no will to solve. no bar push.
but goto car meets with pple who have done all these things like its standard!!

turbo it turbo it turbo it. NO boring! F*** power numbers! I wanna hear this baby scream! not whistle and sound like an lG dishwasher when I let off the gas!
2017 corvette supercharged
2017 mustang supercharged
2017 charger supercharged
2017 Camaro supercharged
you look under their blowers... there is no pocket. So why is it hard to see that there might be a gain here filling ours. Small or big!
sheesh think I might be the only one young and spirited on da forum.


bunch of easy way out pple ....snail snail snail

I know two things that are factual.

1) I don't own any Pontiac product anymore, and for good reason.
2) My grammar is much better than yours seems to be.

Couple that with the fact that they are cheap and jdm company's have been making parts for them for decades and it starts making since why some are so fast. 3 your English is God awful. 4 the m90 and the 1900 and 2300 tvs on LSA's, LS9's, and LT4's are radically different.

Yea you make great points there. I still feel like we can catch them somehow, just gotta find the right formula. Forgive my English. I'm from the hood out here in Maryland. 15 mins from southeast d.c . We all type how we talk.

And like you just said. Those superchargers are different and are far "better" than a M90 .Thats the point i was getting at by mentioning them. If these superchargers are built "better" and have updated configurations, obviously you can try to implement some of their new features on something old. Like not have a pocket in the configuration of an intercooled sc build. quicksteel it. weld a plate over it.Make A little less journey for air to take on its way to the cylinders.

When a built transmission costs more than the car is worth, nothing is worth doing anymore on these cars lol.

Besides the grand prix's crowd hit it's peak around 2008-2011, now it's just another everyday car that anyone can buy and increasing hard to find a decent example that isn't crashed or rusted completely away.

a civic isn't as well tho bro? You can buy one for like 500 bucks on craiglists right now and double that amount with three bolt ons . Then I have to watch them and not us on 1320video all the time. sucks!!! I'm just saying money aint stopping them and we all got bills . Trust me, I was hurting when I had to buy that TEP trans 4k. The Only reason I bought it was because I had hope that one day my fat butt 4 door will go faster

This platform is dead. It's been dead for 5 years. You aren't brining it back. These cars are too cheap and any broke teenager can afford them. But they have no money for mods.

Filling that pocket in will only slow you down with the extra weight. It has no effect on engine performance.

I still have an account because I still mess with these cars. But what I do has nothing to do with the rest of the world.

You are wasting your time and money trying to block that pocket. If you want to work on something worthwhile, figure out an outside stator support or heavier 3rd sprag for the trans. That's why this platform has died.

Yet I'm on here reading what I need to spend my time on doing from u a person who says the platform is dead but still messes with them?...I'm sounding like an ass but forreal u just got me confused. Pick a side . ....you just proving my point about what I stated above . every lil bit counts. Even if one mod out weights the other

MackSauce - If you want to try something on your Grand Prix, go for it! You don't need approval from anyone on this site. With that said, there are a lot of very knowledgeable people on here every day, including some of the people you are currently bashing. They are simply trying to save you time and headache, that is all. They aren't picking a fight with you, they are just giving you their experience, take it or leave it. If you want to put a block plate or whatever it is you're wanting to do, then do it. Who gives a sh!t if this platform is dead, or if it's not. Who gives a sh!t what other people think, just worry about yourself and quit b!tching at people for not agreeing with you.

Please keep this in mind, if you f&ck something up and need help, or when something fails, these people will more than likely be the ones helping you. I haven't found a better group than this one....Food for thought.

I'm not on here to bash everyone I can promise you'll that! I just can sense quitters or naysayers even from states away! A person can be highly knowledgeable through bad experiences. And when you receive knowledgeable information from that type of person they also gives you their experience with that information whether it's good or bad. And depending on how you take it this type of information Exchange can affect how your experience goes. So when my man said the platform is dead it made some C4 go off inside me. I know we don't have Corvettes or some other popular platform but I love the little quick things all the same despite what they aren't or can't do! And that's why you just get something the can do what you dream of a long side a Grand Prix. I'm planning to get a 68 Prix love the body style perfect 4 an LS engine with some snails!!!.....Gtppower I know that you meant you wish they would find an answer for the trans and that's what killed this platform for you and I acknowledge that that is a bigger problem then my little plate pocket idea. That's just where I'm at though. But I totally get what you're saying. Thank you for your help and I hope I didn't offend you too bad.

Blueguy I shall work on my typing grammar in the future post. I apologize if I have offended you and thank you for your help.

And I hope you both find the love for 3800 y'all once had before they prove to suck in some way and kind of do suck in some ways still !!

PS stop messing with my city before I tell Kirk cousin to run the score up on y'all team !!!!!!!lol jk
