am I insane?
so my friend blew his L61 the other night at the track and is putting in a new L61 from the junkyard in soon , he's got a zex wet kit and **** he's a bottle baby ( Shakes head) anyways , we were joking around with my DSM buddy and he was like man I really wanna want to put a 2.0 4g63T in one of those.... (the cobalt) I thought it would be a great idea but I am not sure what all would be needed as far as modifications... if any.....? what do you guys think ? a cobalt turbo DSM?> hmmm.... and what kinda modifications would I need to make?

Yeah okay from that stand point okay but only cause you put it so incredibly well lol...... naw I mean it would be rather silly its just he wants an engine that can take a beating...... I told him to just cryo his **** and get better internals.... I mean we both realize the internals on an L61 are WEAK . but he doesnt wanna pour money into l61 internals just to have it blow again and waste all his cash he wants an engine that comes good for 400-500 hp, he's not pushin that yet but those are his plans.

no the lsj can take a beating, any motor can take a beating, the lsj is on the most reliable engines list. its all in the tuning and putting the rights mods in. half ass WOT tunes. horribly lean up top. these motors cant be can tuned.

well to do the swap you'll need a new engine, a new tranny, probably have to customize all the mounting brackets, completely 100% redo all the computers and wiring, be willing to sacrifice losing things like power windows and power steering, abs, etc.
basically, it's possible, but not worth it for a dd, especially once you realize how many thousands and thousands of dollars it would cost.
this is not a movie where you take any engine, put it in your car, and go out and drive it a few hours later.

lmao , you are one of my fav members ! you have alot of good advice and allways are cool about your **** , your never a jerk . kudos! anywhoo ! I figured it would be something like that , and cost way too much. he knows more about building engines and whatnot than I do , I just read alot and work at a dealership so I know what I hear or read. I told him LSJ may not be TOO bad , at least that can be really tuned. L61 cant besides a canned tune.

sorry for not really answering before but the fact is that this is the wrong car for a project like that.

go grab a civic.
DUHHHHHH!

There are PLENTY of 2.2s that are on the bottle un-tuned.
Just gotta not be stupid when you use it and have a window switch and everything
i actually heard it can be a bad thing if you retard the motor for nitrous. Seeing as your using it what 15 seeconds a week.
well i disagree.
