Useless trivia, the Solstice/Sky was originally supposed to get a V8, but Chevrolet didn’t want any “in house” competition with their Corvette, so they forced Pontiac/Saturn to install the ECOtec four cylinder
Oh, so GM didnt allow one of their performance cars to thrive so nothing could get close to the vette... yup.

Unsprung weight is everything (tires, wheels, axle, lower control arms, trailing links, etc.) between the ground and the springs. The reason it is important is because the lighter the unsprung weight, the better the contact between road and tire on uneven or rippled pavement (due to less upward inertia for the suspension to deal with when you hit a bump). An easier way to bleed air out of the cooling system is to apply a vacuum to the bleeder port. If you don't have a self-bleeder kit for bleeding brakes, you can use a glass jar (like an empty pickle jar), hook up a vacuum line on one side of the lid and a line to the bleeder port on the other. The light vacuum at idle will suck the air out much faster and when you start to get a steady stream of antifreeze, you know you are done. As an added bonus, you capture the antifreeze instead of having it spurt out on the engine, so it doesn't make the car smell until it burns off and you can put the captured antifreeze back in the overflow tank.
Yeah those foam cast blocks suck. So many had to be replaced for leaking oil through the block. Mine just sent a couple rods through the block a month ago just cruising down the highway cruise control set on 70....
they use a CTS-V Gen one Rear End. its the Same trans as a R154 2J/7mgte Trans. Newer version, they also use them in the Chevy Colorado. that turbo is a Stock Turbo off the Turbo Version of the Solstice. Same Turbo as a Cobalt SS.
honestly words cant put together how much adams videos helped me learn when i was riding my bike in gr8 and now im in gr12 with an auto mechanic apprenticeship because of what adam has taught me, thank you so much for everything and maybe one day i will do my own drift build and drive down to florida and do some tandems with you, thank you for everything adam and even though you only make videos about cars you have changed my life because of them
No lies, my mother had a 1JZ 180sx she bought off a bank manager from Mauritius, apparently the car was imported from another country. Trust me, most these stories are quite true.
This has been the greatest moment of the Year of Flex for LZ he actually made a dirty joke and cuss'd at the same time. Real gold would be if he left it!! im sure our boy was off that starbucks right here xDDD
I have the solstice 2.4 L and I don’t think it’s that slow. The gearing is nice and fifth gear is actually an overdrive. I roll through the gears and I move just fine. A track car it is not, but does feels nice on public roads. The handling is absolutely incredible!!
That RTV on the exhaust manifold gasket is not required, and will burn away anyway. I mean it won't HURT (since it's sensor-safe Ultra Grey), but those little channels in the gasket are stamped like that because they deform when it's tightened to make the seal. ps- Invest in an Air-Lift II tool for coolant filling, it's like $100 but saves your BUTT in filling/bleeding cooling systems. It just uses shop air over a venturi valve to pull a vacuum in the system, then let the coolant flow in to replace the sucked-out air. Especially after a water pump change where you don't want a bubble to cause it to cavitate, it's a life saver, even it's just to "be SURE" there are no air-bubbles causing your probs!
@adamlz i think thats the same ko4 turbo my cobalt ss uses wich uses the LNF ecotec 2.0l engine, those little turbos can run 22 psi and make 300 wheel atleast on the LNF motor in the cobalt ss and the SKY..
The key to living with a Solstice is to use the opposite hand for everything. Left hand to grab things in the cupholder (still inconvenient, but that's why the included the inevitably-broken on on the passenger side of the transmission tunnel), right hand to open the door and hit the window switches. :) Fun video. Thanks!
This car in europe is the Opel GT 2.0T 260+ hp and it comes with a K04 turbo as stock. K04 turbos are good for 400+ hp. I liked that you did it yourself and see the pontiac's version, hope your mom liked it!

Tool/parts cart right behind them as they lay tools and parts all over the vehicle. Get it into one sock guys. Your shop looks so clean and professional.
The engine block looks like styrofoam because the alloy is cast in styrofoam molds and the surface finish is transfered from the mold to the hardened alloy.
Sometimes it's necessary to raise the front end of the car as high as it'll go in order to bleed the air from the water jackets and lines. What a cool lil project!
41:16 I had the same wheels for my Accord Wagon SiR in Japan and then transplanted them to my 2014 Civic Si. I love the look and the weight saving over stock. Even though they are made in Japan, Tire Rack beat local prices by over $100.

Should have swapped in the SAAB B234 engine. Same GM bolt pattern, but the last of the genuine Saab fully forged engines. 500bhp with no physical engine mods at all. Just add big turbos, injectors and suitable mapping. Mines at 410bhp on 220,000 miles. 130k of that at the high power output. Never failed. Immensely strong engine.
The kinda guy to say KA24DE is better then sr. Stroked 2.4 have higher stroke then bore and cause it to have good mid-range and no high rpm. That's bad for going turbo.

Same type turbo as the 5 cylinder 90's volvos. That diverter valve would have torn/ripped even if it wasn't damaged in shipping. They're notorious for that any time you run over stock boost even when they're OEM replacements.
I’m sure this vid is old. I’m sure a shit ton of people have said this already but here we go. Understanding the difference between sprung and unsprung weight is VERY simple. And you got it wrong. Spring weight is weight the suspension holds.... the cars suspension does not hold the freaking wheels... it uses them as contact with the ground to transfer spring weight. Basically... anything at the wheel end is unsprung because the spring ARE NOT supporting it, but rather using it as support. Reducing UNSPRUNG weight has significant effects on handling etc, so at least in the end you did benefit the build.

When I've turbo'd cars I've found that at normal cruising speed the MPG has actually improved. Drive it at WOT everywhere and yeah, its going to plummet.
@@JonLawes79 - You are totally right. I owned a golf turbodiesel 1.9 that had a 5mpg better range compared to the sdi without turbo version. That's a 10% increase in efficiency with twice the torque and power not to mention the fun that comes with it. My mother is not exactly a car guy. 😎
Back when it was new, this car was better than most. I remember when this came out. I’ve always wanted one but about time I get one, it’ll be super rare. And also you know this car came with a v6 right? That v6 was pretty fast for back then.
The Solstice GXP sounds soooooo good on a straight pipe with a cat and muffler delete. My next upgrade on my 2007 will certainly be a stage 3 kit when I get the time and money saved up :)
Exactly what Alberto said. It needs more acceleration enrichment. That stomp the gas sputter is AE needing to be tuned finer. If you have a car that sputters when u press the gas too fast, that's very bad. Bad for drivability, bad for the engine over time. Try to see if you can get that fixed !! Awesome video. Liked the change in content, was good to see you do this too. Nice valentines day mother's gift! Super stoked on your GT3 rs purchase. Excited to see you gripdrive more rip consecutive laptimes back to back on her and go for your own personal gold So that I can then beat them in my Miata :)
Fantastic team, nice work, massively entertaining video - never seen one of these Solsti-vehicles before but I think these improvements have been done very professionally. Good reverse on the air-con interchange and a lovely thing to do for your mum! Nice tech tips from Alberto

15:45 I have never heard Adam make that sound before
John C that Taylor’s face😂😂
Gas mileage gonna drop, I can see her hate that
Lol, it makes sense, haha. I guess that's how my mother would react and she'd probably want me to remove all that stuff to save fuel.
When I've turbo'd cars I've found that at normal cruising speed the MPG has actually improved. Drive it at WOT everywhere and yeah, its going to plummet.
If you don't drive like a twat turbo's improve mpg.
@@JonLawes79 - You are totally right. I owned a golf turbodiesel 1.9 that had a 5mpg better range compared to the sdi without turbo version. That's a 10% increase in efficiency with twice the torque and power not to mention the fun that comes with it. My mother is not exactly a car guy. 😎
Shouldn't you fix the cup holder situation and put in an android or Apple touch stereo display?
Those power grunts taking off the exhaust got my dogs freaking out thinking there was something dying on the couch
the first Adam LZ video i ever watched was the one of him Scaring his mom in her own car. time flies!
Dont worry jazz needs the power so he can fight megatron lmfao sick vid brother P.S. hawaii doesn’t need cats either lol
I have a 2007 Saturn Sky Redline 2.0 Turbo in onyx black
How can a car own a different car?
@@Sheehy223 I'm not really a car
I bursted out in laughter at 15:40 XDD
Back when it was new, this car was better than most. I remember when this came out. I’ve always wanted one but about time I get one, it’ll be super rare. And also you know this car came with a v6 right? That v6 was pretty fast for back then.
What you should have done for the water feed is grabbed the water pipe off a 2.0 lnf ecotec turbo, it has a water feed port on it.
Marco walked in for a pipe bender and you all ignored him 😂😂
Owain what time?

They make a tool specifically to take exhausts off the rubber hanger. Life changing honestly.
19:43 a lyric from Eminem’s song Brain Damage off of the Slim Shady LP
thought I was the only one
Kpmixez 316 tell me why I read the whole text normally but once I read “brain damage” I read it with Eminem’s voice
Alan Martinez i heard it in the voice then when he said reference i was like “oh shit”
The Solstice GXP sounds soooooo good on a straight pipe with a cat and muffler delete. My next upgrade on my 2007 will certainly be a stage 3 kit when I get the time and money saved up :)
Exactly what Alberto said. It needs more acceleration enrichment. That stomp the gas sputter is AE needing to be tuned finer. If you have a car that sputters when u press the gas too fast, that's very bad. Bad for drivability, bad for the engine over time. Try to see if you can get that fixed !! Awesome video. Liked the change in content, was good to see you do this too. Nice valentines day mother's gift!
Super stoked on your GT3 rs purchase. Excited to see you gripdrive more rip consecutive laptimes back to back on her and go for your own personal gold So that I can then beat them in my Miata :)
16:18 and 33:16 had me literally dying and idk why
Lmao imagine putting a turbo in your moms car she be thinking after a week.. whaaat
Irvine860 😂😂
Irvine860 yeah totally fucked it up... I had something in my head and this came out but you know some people kind of understand

Fantastic team, nice work, massively entertaining video - never seen one of these Solsti-vehicles before but I think these improvements have been done very professionally. Good reverse on the air-con interchange and a lovely thing to do for your mum! Nice tech tips from Alberto
They spent the entire video roasting the cat 😂😂😂 right up until they finished the turb
