so i jus got my 06 cobalt ls. im looking to break 400whp eventually after i turbo. but im not sure wat mods i should do 2 my engine to push at much. im planning on running 15+ on boost. any ideas on wat i should do 2 get my engine ready for turboing!!!

 

new motor, different car...

 

different car

 

lower compression pistons for one maybe 8.0:1...

 

fixed

 

lmao

 

so wat ur saying is that i cant do it wit a 2.2? could i even break 350?

 

dude, in all honesty, im not trying to sound like an ass but if you don't even know what is needed to put F/I on a car you shouldn't be doing it. Do a little research. There are TONS of thread with info as to what you need.

No one is saying it can't be done; its just going to take ALOT of $$ and labor.

you not only talking motor work here. So do a little research and in the end you'll feel better knowing what your talking about and what you want/will do.

 

You will need a full engine build to support that power.

 

well tat was my plan from the start...like start with jus a few bolt on and become more familiar with it. lol i didnt jus plan 2 wake up and jump rite into it. i jus wanted to know what i would hav to when i get to tat point

 

Dont forget the money in traction mods as well. Axles, CABS, new mount. And im not sure what the tranny is rated at but if thats not enough then more $$$ to be spent.

 

i figured id hav to do a complet engine build. jus didnt know wat parts i was goin to need to put into the biuld

ive been lookin into the tranny and ive seen ppl saying its good from between 400 and 500whp...but not positive

 

complete mod list for 2.2 400whp:

trade in for evo8
ams stage 3 kit
ams turboback exhaust
clutch
standalone ems
boost controller (good elec. controller)


not the 2.2 tranny lol

 

well i couldnt go evo even if i wanted 2..and i like the cobalt better the evo and ther arent many cobalts wit tat kinda hp.

 

i make 401whp (shooting to break 500 during winter)

long island paul makes 411

the zzp twin charged makes 440



just to name a few


its gonna cost u alot of $$ dude

 

well i gota lern alot more b4 ima even try to go all out. so i got time 2 save =)

wat kinda times ur running?

 

start with a fully built motor, and work from there

 

ite well i gota a list of parts for my motor put 2gether jus gota come up wit the $$

 

you will need:

pistons, rods, bearings, head work, tuning, better clutch and transmission, axles etc...

hell the build i work to do, puts me paying out 6000-7000 dollars just in motor building before the turbo kit

 

how much hp cant the stock transmission handle?

 

its not the hp it's the turque, the trans in our cars are shity, u may want to look into a cavy trans

 

lol....
try hitting 300 first man
the stock block can only handle around 250 hp, so your going to need to rebuild the whole thing, rods, springs, ext...
tranny, i dont know how much hp it can hold, but your going to deff need a Very strong clutch, and of course a crazy tranny rebuild, and it will be stronger if its an auto IMO
deff going to need axles
and prob juice

or just go get a faster stock car...

 

im goin 4 a stage 2 or 3 clutch...and im stuck wit this car...

o and its a 5spd

 

i say just go buy a 2.4block and start building that up from scratch, and still drive your car

 

Go Here....it will tell you everything you need....it is going to cost you a lot of money...be prepared to spend and spend and spend some more....
