2010 Chevy Malibu turbo

Friends turbo each other's cars!

[@SmallHandsBigBite]

Not my cup of tea, but major props for doing this.

[@Black1994ImpalaSS]

What was the final result? Do you drive it daily? Did you tune it? All kinds of questions!!!

[@Str8Ace43]

I swear officer it’s an eco tec. Bone stock.

[@jrmartinez5879]

This is sick man how did you do the oil return line

[@SKILLvsPILLS]

Just plumed it into the oil by pan with a brass fitting.

What turbo did you use

[@jaybrown9088]

How did you get the car to not throw a check engine light soon as I put a call or ram intake on I get a check engine light

[@abelrodriguez6100]

Jay Brown you gotta tune it..with a programmer. Or laptop which means find a tuner that can hook up to ur cars computer other wise you will have that check engine light on all the time

[@lt1ripper822]

Who did your tuning

[@EJ-yy6tl]

Where did you get the turbo from? I’m looking to do the same on mine

[@SKILLvsPILLS]

eBay

[@hollycain9130]

How much to do this to my 2012?

[@michaelmiller1411]

how did you tune it? and how much boost you running on an ECO motor?? is that a 4cyl??

[@ras4782]

Michael Miller .its a 4

[@Ohiobackwoodsguy]

How the hell did you turbo a natural aspiration engine??!? I have a 2012 2.4 Malibu ls and I’m trying to figure this out or just drop the 3.6l v6 in from a ltz

[@SKILLvsPILLS]

Took some fab work, was fun doing but a 6 banger would smash on it. I could turbo anything, did this for a old friend.

[@Ohiobackwoodsguy]

So when you are you coming to the land the 216 CLEVELAND area 🤣 if you have a chance look up project 216 here on KZbin

[@reco2186]

Do you have a parts list? I want this on mine.

[@SKILLvsPILLS]

ok quick list. 1st. I removed the first cat. cut off the flange and made it fit a t3t4 flange. gonna need a turbo. oil feed and return lines. too hook up the oil supply line you have to make a "t" off of the oil pressure sensor. once you have that done find tubing and elbows to make a custom intake from the turbo to the intake. if you do your turbo flanges right your exhaust will hook right back up. again, I removed the cat and put the turbo in it's place. The oil return line was plumbed into the oil pan above the fill level. (at the highest spot) add a boost controller and keep it turned down. a obd2 CAN 2 scanner is good to have to reset any codes they run for $15.

[@reco2186]

@@SKILLvsPILLS Thank you!!!

[@SKILLvsPILLS]

@anonymous this one had no intercooler but I'm sure one would fit behind the bumper if you mod it right. Plumbing is how creative you can be.

Needs bigger injectors. Unplug the o2 and it will run rich.

[@jrmartinez5879]

How did you run the oil drain line?

[@jrmartinez5879]

SKILLvsPILL

[@SKILLvsPILLS]

drilled a return line into the crank case and screwed in a brass hose fitting. Make sure you change the oil before you restart the car.

[@brokeboidanielalmonte394]

All u had to do to it is tune it and you’ll be good 👍🏻🔥

[@velxcity07]

How do u tune it

[@Vasquezz28]

who said it couldn't be done? these motors get turned and supercharged on v cobalts and solstices

[@SKILLvsPILLS]

This isn't the cobalt motor nor is it configured the same way. This motor is turbo charged which is completely different than any supercharger set up. To this day, I've still haven't seen a turbo 2.4 Malibu in this model.

[@alexisgriffith1954]

The le5 lsj and luf motors or the 2.0 2.2 and 2.4 share a lot of interchangeable parts I have a lsj intake manifold on my le5 2.4 with forged wisco custom pistons and rods 80 pound injectors eton m62 supercharger with a 1.8 pulley and stage 3 comp cams ported and polished head coil over suspension and brimbo brakes all of those parts where designed for a Pontiac g6 but you can make them work with a bit of know how but most bolt on

[@MrPeadonk]

[@t_tubby_6883]

Can I pay you to do this to my Malibu?

[@landog1588]

yo bro u gotta do this to my malibu got the 2.5

[@josephmurillo886]

is that a V6?? I have a 2012 malibu lt has 4 cylinder i was looking to give it some boost ?

[@SKILLvsPILLS]

It's the 2.4 four banger. I haven't seen a kit made for it yet. I built the turbo exhaust manifold and down pipe on this car in a few hours. You just need a t3/t4 turbo flange, a welder, sawzaw, and grinder a long with other stuff.

[@ryuutheancient796]

SKILLvsPILLS Wouldn't this work? zzperformance.com/ecotec/2-2-2-4l-turbo-kit.html

[@SKILLvsPILLS]

that looks to be right. notice the turbo has the right flanges to replace the cat and mount in it's location. 2k isn't bad but I did it for almost free because I had the turbo and welder.

[@gabytovar2387]

joseph murillo I think most LTZ malibus have a V6 because mine is a 2008 LTZ and I have a V6

[@rodneys9805]

im confused...is it suposed to sound like that from factory

[@SKILLvsPILLS]

we cut off the muffler before the back wheel. Side exit exhaust.

[@warstrategyx1390]

Just wondering how much did this cost, Im looking to do this to my dads malibu, but he's hesitant because it's seems like it'll cost more than the cars worth.

[@SKILLvsPILLS]

It's very cheap if you can get a turbo kit, welder, and grinder.

[@nafaalsaegh2686]

SKILLvsPILLS what turbo kit did the guy use ?

[@godlikeaim2449]

You should definitely help me turbo mine🤷‍♂️

[@SKILLvsPILLS]

I live in Alaska but I hope this comment section answers any questions.

[@91057617]

Sounds sick any check engine lights and was it difficult

[@SKILLvsPILLS]

no check engine lights. just took fitting to large turbo in and welding. we deleted the cat and welded a adapted the flange to fit.

[@91057617]

SKILLvsPILLS where did you connect the oil line to?

[@SKILLvsPILLS]

91057617 I made a T that adapts the oil pressure sensor and oil feed Line. they cost about 30 bucks on eBay but I made one from the local hydraulic line stores. 5 finger discount lol

[@aussiedisco]

Sounds awesome! how much horse power?

[@SKILLvsPILLS]

Rafael Ernesto Valdez we felt a small gain. its only set at 4psi on the wasted gate spring. needed a tune to turn it up. it put down 147lbs stock and 167hp after I forgot the make torque count.

[@danielcraft1679]

@@SKILLvsPILLS isn't that a slight horsepower decrease tho? The base 2.4 makes 169 stock.

[@SKILLvsPILLS]

@@danielcraft1679 you know stock power is rated at the crank. It was fun while it lasted.

He turned it off at that moment. The car ran great.

[@brycewakefield6565]

SKILLvsPILLS ok

[@7rrs]

I’m trying to do this to my 2012 Chevy Malibu, what turbo did you use and what’s all the things you need to install the turbo.

[@SKILLvsPILLS]

you basically remove the first cat, cut off the flanges, weld on the turbo flanges and install the turbo. Takes a little fabbing and shopping around for the oil lines but it's easy. A T40 turbo would fit better than the t50 but it fit. I picked out a radiator hose that had the right bends to make the intake tube but that was just to get it going. it's better to pipe it up and use the rubber bends for the elbows. The oil feed line has to be tee'd into the oil pressure sender sensor.

[@7rrs]

Okay thank you I’m definitely gonna do this soon and is there a email I that I can contact you at if I have anymore questions?

[@Yeyphat]

Wtf lol you are the second person I seen to turbocharged a 2.4

[@SKILLvsPILLS]

really easy. just deleted the first cat and welder on a t3/t4 flange at the right angle.

[@Yeyphat]

SKILLvsPILLS the other person that I know that did it said not to go over 7psi cuz it can mess up the pistons

[@Yeyphat]

You got any videos? Like in IG I can see?
