99 c70 LPT C70 1999

posted by  someone claiming to be c70HPT on  Sat May 22 12:51 CST 2004 [RELATED]

I am considering buying a 99 silver c70 with only 52000 miles. It was a lease car and it is immaculate. The only problem I have is that it is the 2.4L LPT and I am kind of hesitant. I need to know if getting a boost gauge and an electronic boost controller (such as a blitz SBCid, etc) to push the boost to around 9 psi, if this would be detrimental to the 2.4L LPT motor. I know there are several differences in components between the 2 motors, and that the 2.3L has thicker cylinder walls, and better injectors, this may be the problem I run into. I don't want 300 horses or anything, just a little more zip out of the 190 horse stock LPT motor setup. Let me know whats up, and if anyone knows exactly what the differences between the two motors are please shed the light. THanks.
