if the pistons were broken, yes. if the pistons are scored and have damaged the walls, no. it would just increase oil consumption, possibly reduce compression/boost, and certainly lower how long the motor is strong for. same thing with the bearings. wear/damage could have & likely did happen to...

i saw a ct5 in that color few months back and this is an extremely accurate statement

the reason the 4 had such great results is that it essentially tricks the ecu into making the turbos build more boost. that same trick won't work on the supercharged 5. if you read the hagerty article mirza states that they told the engineer that designed the current intake that it was...

Got the car back today. Dealer wasn’t even going to do an oil change even though the instrument cluster stated it needed one due to the oil overheating. Got them to do that as well as finish installing the parking sensor module. They put it in last time, but neglected to do the programming to...

They already did it with the xt4 so porting over that already done software rewrite would not be much

for my friend (who didn't buy a blackwing) to go through the program the cost was $3,845. That got him a CT5 BW manual to drive plus the room, insurance, food, etc.

the headers not throwing codes is def the one that is very surprising

if you've read other threads you shouldn't be surprised by the poor paint quality some cars are seeing out of the lansing plant where 100k+ cars are also rolling out with 26k camaros

jb4s are for turbo cars. they are boost controllers that trick the ecu into thinking there is lower boost vs what is actually there, which changes the wastegate operation. you change the pulley on a supercharged vehicle to change the boost.

update: they replaced a coil pack this time and everything was running great. even set personal best lap times. then today the car threw the belt and coolant and oil temps instantly jumped to about 280 degrees before I could get things shut down. stuff was boiling well over 10 minutes later...

that's why you should order the replica from here Blackwing. its what i did

A few weeks away from orders being open & we still don’t know what the refresh looks like…

Here’s pics showing how done they are when the sensor alerts you in the dash

The bronze weigh more. Keep in mind if you start changing unsprung weight the magride won’t be as optimized. The programming is difference for instance if you have CCB vs steel

this is how much fuel it uses during a 20 minute track session. Mpg is around 3

there's a pad sensor that wears through and alerts you in the dash when they are done. as soon as it says they are done they are DONE. don't wait any longer. i'm on my second set of rear pads and third set of fronts at 5k, but that is in a 5 with a lot of track use.

The brakes shouldn’t feel different as they are brake by wire. All feel is simulated through a solenoid. There’s no direct connection except in an emergency if the electric fails. Get with Terrence Sig. in the mods forum he’s producing an exact OEM copy of the rear spoiler at a fraction of the...

I retract my previous post. CEL is back. Exact same location as where I triggered it the first time. Haven’t been able to get it to pop up in other places/conditions. I’m not sure if a car could get more lemony when it comes to lemon laws. This is getting beyond frustrating. Maybe GM needs to...

Took car to track yesterday. Could only run it all out late in the afternoon as the track was too wet from overnight rain most of the day. Seems to be holding up so far. I did notice that they didn’t tighten one of the exhaust manifold shield bolts, left off 2 under body panel fasteners, &...
