You can't tune the 2.2 yet for that application, unfortunately.

and why is it ignorant?? because you are going to put so much money on a car like this when at the end you realize that you are not going to have a reliable car, is going to be a headache
and that between the price of the car and the money you spent is more than a ss/sc?? plus having the piece of mind of a warranty and a car that was made for a supercharger am i being ignorant or u just are an EXTREME idiot???

not all people can get a cobalt ss/sc, so stop trolling, go back to the 2.0 section...

well sorry i didnt want to hurt your butt hole about your financial struggle, all im saying is if you are going to supercharge the 2.2 and spend the same amount of money of an use ss/sc wouldn't u rather buy a ss/sc? and btw i got nothing against people on the 2.2 cobys im just giving my opinion, if you like it good, if u dont oh well...

it's going to cost me around 1200 for everything I need for a supercharger swap. Using the aem fi/c to tune. It might cost more or less depending on what kind of prices you can get on parts and if you're going to do all the work/tuning yourself or have someone else do it.

that's a completely ignorant statement considering you don't even know how much boost I'm going to run...

I've got about a 250whp limit with the stock internals. I plan on being at about 220-230.

From your statements I'm going to go ahead and say you took the right path in buying a car already built for you.

on your stock 2.2 engine its not about how much boost youre going to run, is "for how long your car is gonna run" oh and how are u planning to get 220-230hp? putting a cold air intake with the supercharger

well the aftermarket turbo kits for our cars do it pretty well...

why do you think I couldn't get 220-230whp out of my car by adding the m62? Also note I'm not using the stock pulley.

do you know about compression ratio?? and BOOSSSSSST how much do you think youre going to boost after dropping the m62 on your 2.2l with wayyy more compression ratio than the 2.0sc, and weaker internals??? and you THINK u can even change the pulleys and your car just gain 100+hp more ? just like magic pls explain me how??

actually the added compression makes it possible to run less boost to make the same power levels as the lsj. Last I checked the l61 had something like a 9.3:1 compression ratio. It's not like that's WAAAAY higher than the lsj's 8 something ratio. The fact is I still have plenty of room for boost. Like I said before, it's not like the turbo kits for our cars have a hard time doing it.
