Sup guys, sorry fi this is a dumb question but 2.2 is going to have stage kits right? anyone know how much? thanks :P

 

no...

 

iv never heard of stage kits for the 2.2 but i may be wrong

 

If no one is making one then maybe somebody needs too!
>>ATTENTION VENDORS<< We need a stage 1 kit for our 2.2l's

 

im sure if there is alot of demand for them then they will get a post or group buy going for one and see if anyone will take it!

 

Once the GM SC kit come out wont the stage kits fit that

 

damn... o well

 

possibly, but doubt it-SS=GM performance model, 2.2L=sell to car rental places =(

 

the 2.2 is used all over the world tho. It would make sense ( $$$ ) for some 1 to make some kits! tuners all over the world with the 2.2 would be all over it!

 

yea but i dont think GM is going to bother with the kits, hopefully a vendor will

 

ya know, if i had the resources, id make the ECOtec one of the most highly modded motors EVER!! Make cams and comp stuff!!! ggrrrrrr gettin heated at work, not cool for all these ppl on the phone!

 

how many vebdors on here ya guys think with the capabilities to do "REAL" upgrades or "Kits" for these ECOtec's.... I'd love nothing more then to just search yahoo/googel for ecotec parts, and find 2,000 pages of ecotec upgrades!! Like honda <---gggrrrr PLEASE _ O _ PLEASE U VENDORS OUT THEREE!!! STEP UP YOUR GAME!!!

 

I only care about stage kits with turbos

 

im only down for turbos as well

 

I am guessing that the main reason they wouldnt do this is cause of the internals in the 2.2L vs the 2.0 SC. the 2.0L SC has better internal components that can handle more.

 

yeh but regardless you can get internals replaced as well. i thought ive seen cams pistons rods and a head for a 2.2 posted by someone on here yesterday. forgot his name though. they better make a kit for the 2.2 or im gonna explode!

 

Unless something drastic happens, chevy will never be on a contending level in the 4-cyl department with honda. There are just too many honda fanatics out there. The ss/sc will get plenty of mods, because it was built with performance in mind. The amount of people modding the base models is slim at best. A company making full-scale performance mods and kits for the cobalt base models and such would probably go bankrupt.

It's easy enough to get cams and such made. Call comp and they'll make you a set of cams for whatever application and it only costs like 20 bucks more for a custom grind. Pistons and rods can all be found through companies like eagle and je that have internals for EVERYTHING. Even turbo kits are pretty easy to peice togeather as long as you can find a manifold.

Getting power mods for the motor is easy enough, what needs to be made is better suspension and handling upgrades. From what I've seen from looking around all we really get is the basic set of lowering springs and some strut bars...

 

what the hell are you talking about, there are like 4 vendors making turbos for the ls right now.

 

yeh exactly. i believe that once the turbo's start coming out more mods will follow close behind. yeh the LS isnt an SC but i see alot more LS's around here in El Paso (a huge city with 600,000 people) then the SS's or SS/SC's. i think its pretty equal as far as popularity.

 

you are not gonna want the sc gm kit for the 2.2 cause it is not aftercooled like the SS is, so you will only be able to get 250 hp out of it max, ever, thats it, that is the cap, no more, nada, doesn't matter how much you do, waste of 1500 dollars, so what you should do insted, is get a turbo kit or get a custom turbo setup made then you will be happy and after you do some internal replacement and such you will be rolling around with a 350 hp sleeper that can eat srt-4's for a snack!!!

 

you tell em

 

dont forget srt4's also have stage kits...I know someone with a srt4 stage 3 kit that pushes 400 Hp

 

once the first turbo comes out for our 2.2's more mods will follow to push harder like their srt4s. just wait and see im sure of it.
