An in-house performance division, like Ford's SVT or BMW's M, Red Line started with the Vue sport-ute and now is trying its hand with the Ion. The new Red Line high-performance Saturns seemingly spell the end of the line for the Reds who were running down Saturn. 20 Best Cheap Performance Cars, Trucks, and SUVsīut there is hope.Best Sports Sedans for $15K: Window Shop with C/D.The Cobalt uses the better FE5 suspension, but that is a direct swap into the redline.
#ION REDLINE PLUS#
Plus redlines can be found cheaper than the Cobalt SS even though they are mostly the same. Having 2 suicide doors is really a nice feature I wish more care would have. For less than $500, I fixed all of those issues.
#ION REDLINE CRACKED#
It had a cracked front bumper and side skirt, dead IC pump, vacuum leak loud exhaust, too dark of tint, and a bad thermostat.
#ION REDLINE MODS#
These mods are required as supporting mods for many other mods to be effective. For example, cooling mods, adding option B, another heat exchanger and dual pass can post some decent gains without touching the rest of the engine. Being a supercharged car, it opens of different areas of mods that NA cars don't have, making the potential for more power. I welded up a very quiet exhaust for the redline and could tell a big difference.
#ION REDLINE FULL#
I put a full exhaust on a toyota a few years back (header back), and could barely tell the difference. Mods of any kind seem to make a big difference, more so than other cars I've owned. I kind of like it, the fake side vents are a little ricey. I had to use a normal Ion front bumper on my redline as I couldn't find a redline one. The doors, hood, trunk and front and rear fenders are shared with the standard Ion. It uses the speakers wires on the wiring harness for audio inputs. To use the AAS amp, I had to run a line level converter to knock the signal down for the AAS amp. I used 4ohm standard ones and it sounds fine, just a little quieter. My car has AAS, I was able to easily put an aftermarket system in. AAS adds door mounted tweeters and a seperate amp in the trunk. The upper level sound system is called AAS (advanced audio system). Like the S series, it uses a double din spot for the stereo, with 4 6 1/2" speakers. From what I read, drivetrain loss seems to be quite low, around 8%.Ĭheck out the LCAs. Mine is stock besides I/H/E and its really fast! My last car was around the same weight with 20HP more, but the redline is considerably faster.
They do seem to be faster than the listed HP. This decreased pump life and performance. Some Redlines came with the pump wired backwards from the factory. Its an electric pump that circulates coolant through the intake manifold to cool the charged air.
The intercooler pumps go out quite commonly. Plus it leaves the area in front of the wheel open for more gauges! The whole dash is really a blank slate when it come to adding gauges, HUD, backup cam, etc. It looks a little odd, but its nice not to have the wheel block the gauges. Little by little, It's getting back to good. Being a turbo, an aftermarket adjustable blowoff valve might improve boost response between shifts, bit no lift shift might make this unnecessary, idk. This is achievable with just a tune, so the potential with an intake, exhaust, ect. A competent person with hp tuners should e able to achieve similar numbers. Trifecta, when they were around, we're able to get 375hp out of these engines. The css tc has a high tech engine with direct injection, a well engineered in block turbo system with vvt and a second generation engine block. The suspension from the cobalt can be added to a redline. To get this power requires option b, dual pass end plate, injectors, a tvs supercharger I believe, a pulley, and a tune. The lsj never changed, it's a fairly simple engine, and is good for relatively reliable power up to around 350hp, afaik.
#ION REDLINE DRIVERS#
Moving to the cobalt ss tc you get bluetooth (new radio), new suspension to better handle the power, no lift shift, launch control, toe pressure monitoring system, advanced drivers information center, and possibly more. Afaik, the only things to change in the Redlines are:Ģ005: new firewall and windshields for quieter ride, and new interior for increased leg room.Ģ007: leather seats from non Redlines for passenger airbag sensor. 04 coupes with automatic transmissions are unreliable.
