Ok Im not even sure if they have a turbo kit for the 2.2 but on my way home from my womans I see a 4 door balt which looked like a 2.2 4 door. The guy revs his engine at the light and it sounded a little sexy actually. I couldnt tell if it was turboed or not. Anyway do they make kits? Could he have been turbo'd? What kind of power do they make if so? I had to turn and didnt catch up to ask.

 

yes they do make turbo kits, and if it was just a kit..it should run on par with a ss/sc but wit hthe rite driver beat a stock ss/sc

did u race him? what was the outcome?

 

shoulda raced him

i hope it wasnt turbo'd, that would defeat mulkryz purpose on being the first turbo'd sedan

 

No he was behind me at a light, then I had to pass another car because the two lanes became one, he eventually got around and flew by me where It sounded pretty good. My girlfriend has a stock 2.2 cavy and it doesnt sound anywhere near that, maybe he had just an intake but it sounded a little like a turbo kit.

The way he reved his engine at the light and caught up made me think he wanted a little run. To bad I had to turn!

 

you know what i think it was...was a sri intake, no joke mine sounds like a v6 ( i dont care what people think) i get GT mustangs asking how many cylinders i have, and out of the 9 ss/sc's in town in our cobalt crew they say i have the nicest sound..

 

thats where you dont turn and go out an race him to see how you did againt a turbo'd 2.2 lmao

 

haha off topic but i went like 10 mins out of my route home so i could race a pack of bikes on the way home from work..they slaughterd me but it was still cool !

 

I know my friends jetta sounds a hell of alot better with an AEM intake, so I think it may have been just an intake, but it had that exhaust sound that made it almost seem like it was a turbo.

On a side note saw a SPEC-V with a intercooler for its turbo at Uncle bears which was pretty sweet looking actually.

Yeah I would race but on val vista (the road I was on) it is littered with cops every night.

 

my car is so quiet after the turbo, i hope i could hang with an ss/sc

 

there is probly one of the sickest spec-v's thati have ever seen around here.. its mostly a show carbut has a fully built engine/ transmisson and has a bigg ass turbo lol.. the front bumper hood fenders sideskirts trunk and rear bumper are carbon fiber with a dark dark yellow blackish tint.. and the headlights are almost the same way.. its ****** badd ass... lol /thread jack

 

I real tuner/racer doesn't turn!

My g/f waited for me at Applebee's for 20 minutes once... she had a window booth... and knew just as soon as I flew past the place side by side with a Mustang Mach 1, that I was gonna be a while.

 

HAHAHA thats the best story ive ever heard..was she cool with it? + rep for that heroic decision bro!

 

Yeah... she was a little upset... but she knows how I roll. I don't pass up a GOOD race unless my 6th sense is acting up (5 or 6 times... saved my ass every time!).

Also, something as rare as a Turbo Cobalt Sedan... you don't turn off! That's like if I were to be cruising town and see a MKIV Supra or a Skyline... I'm not turning off unless a cops lights are flashing behind me! That ****'s RARE!

 

+ rep on that, thats some funny **** right there!!

 

I still think a Stage 2 Balt would be a turbo 2.2 - assuming he was running the Garrett turbo kit. Which puts the power levels around par with a stockish SS/SC...maybe right in between a Stage 2 and stocker.

 

If it was me waiting I would have been cheering you on from the booth. If I see a 'stang I'm off and running with it.

 

there is a 2.2 turbo kit, and if it really was turboed he would be putting out some big numbers... I believe last tests were 260whp for those little beauties...

 

I dont think a 2.2 turbo 4 door would keep up with a stock ss sc. Maybe a 2.2 turbo 2 door. Isnt there a guy with a 2.4 turbo 2 door that only ran a 14.1? stage 1 ss sc can run faster then that.

 

^^ no it cant..

 

Maybe not your ss sc but i have seen stage 1 ss sc run 14.1. I hit 14.2 when i was just a stage 1.

 

an otherwise stock 2.2 with a turbo kit puts down pretty much the same #s as a stock ss/sc. On stock internals it's not reccomended to go above 250whp. Basically you would need the turbo kit and some extra form of tuning just to get to a stock stage 2 level. Beyond that you would need better pistons/rods.

Not to mention things like a better clutch, better tires, etc. to make the car handle smooth and run reliably.

Although I don't doubt that a stock 2.2 with a turbo could beat a stock ss/sc.

 

there are stock cobalts running 14.0....what makes you think a S1 cant run 14.1?

 

I think he was talking about a turbo 4 door 2.2 keeping up with a stock ss/sc

 

Maybe a 2 door and thats a maybe. But i dont think a 4 door would due to that extra weight.

 

its like 200 extra lbs.... just dont speak about 4 doors you dont know anything about them!
