How many 2.2 guys on here have had their's tuned by Vince at Trifecta?? Im going to be jumping on this as soon as he has the 07 tune available. So far I just have the K&N SRI and the magnaflow muffler, prob getting full catback before the tune. Also its a 5 spd...what kind of gains have you guys seen, or what can I expect from the tune?

 

i'd say compare nwae's cobalt and mine. intake and full exhaust should yield about 20hp more.

and 07 tune may be available as soon as today.

 

nice man thanks. I was also looking at swapping out the 2.4 Manifold before getting the tune as well but im not quite sure about that yet. I asked a parts guy at the stealership about whether or not the SS/SC exhaust would bolt directly up and he said it wouldn't. Is that true? If it does bolt up I might just go that route with my exhaust

 

all model cobalt exhausts can be swapped. the ss will fit.


but check out the tsudo exhaust on neverenoughauto.com. its cheap, stainless 304 steel, and sounds amazing: look it up on youtube

 

tuning for the 2.4 manifold on the 07 hasn't been tested yet..but will be soon..but with that, CAI, and exhaust expect to see something like 20+ hp/tq gains with the tune....

 

someone correct me please. This is the site?

also if that is it y does it not say the cobalt or am i missing it.

Wonder when the 08 tunning comes out. Is it worth it if im almost stock? Just a CAI has been done. Looking to gain a few more ponies and mileage.

is this something that can be done by yourself or should someone do it for you like Vince

 

so is this kinda a tune like hpt. I just thought we 2.2's only had piggy back systems. if it is could it be used to dail in a 2.2 with a m62? if so i might look into getting one, never wanted to before just cuz it could never be tuned right.

 

yes it can...but right now it's not been tested...hopefully i will be the first to test that tune in addition to testing the tune with only the 2.4 manifold installed...

and it doesn't list the cobalts on the trifecta site because they haven't added it yet...but i assure you that they have tunes for the cobalts...the 07 2.2 tune was tested on sunday and was a complete success. i posted the dyno sheet in this thread

https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/2-2l-l61-performance-tech-45/07-tuners-116695/

Page 2...and i gave some info about the pull and run and what was done during the tune...warren tested it..but i posted the info that Vince gave me....have fun!

 

anymore succesful tunes with this system or any new set ups. if i wanted to get a tune, how would one go about it?

 

the '08 can be tuned as well?

 

Love my tune. Hopefully I can get back on the dyno soon. I dynoed 140hp before the tune and catback on a mustang dyno. I'm hoping for 150-155hp but it does seem like it may be more. (crosses fingers)

 

Would like to get a tune once I go ahead and modify the car...

Just dynoed Saturday...124whp and 134wtq.

28k Miles, probably could use new plugs, as it looks like the coils have never been off the engine, thus the plugs would be stock...but I'd have to pull them off to check 'em.

 

Won't hurt to check the gap but the plugs are good for 100k miles or so.

 

Ahh, probably the benefit to Iridium...

 

well i got my 07 2.2l tuned with a 2.4 intake manifold, k&n intake, 2.5 "cat back exsaughts, and with the tune i could tell a lil diff, all my friends can tell but i rely cant lol, maybe becasue i was expecting more lol, fuel went up it says i get 42 instead of 38 so thats sick.but any way vince is bad ass good customer service he was helping me out until midnight awsome guy, tell him scott from wyoming say whats up lol.

 

Yeah, Vince has been tuning 07's for a while now.

 

Serously worth it for the automatic.
Still havent had it dyno'd but i defentally noticed a BIG difference afterwards.

 

Can he lock the gears out so when I put it in second it stays there?

It caused problems when dynoing, because, despite being in second (it's an auto), it would downshift at too low RPM when I nailed it, and upshift at high RPMs...

 

once i get my 2.4l mani and an exhaust im gonna do this

 

If you need to dyno an auto you put it in 3rd(not second) and to keep it in third you either disconnect the 20way connector at front of trans or pull the 10a ECM/TRANS fuse in the underhood fuse block.

 

What does the tune run price wise and how do you have it done?
