Don't replace the crank. No need to as nobody has ever reported issues with it. You could get yours balanced but no need for an aftermarket one. Stick with a gm head gasket as some people have had issues with cometic. Gm rod bearings are fine, no need to spend the extra money on the clevites. I'd consider ZZP springs because they require no modification to the head. Since you are 05 getting sleeves might be worth it since you have a gen 1 block which isn't as strong as the gen 2 in the 07+'s. And unfortunately trifecta is the only option for tuning for you.

BankerBalt

he can get efi tuning...

BankerBalt

oh and agreed on the eagle crank being a waste

bluebalt07

True but not many people I've seen tune with efi lol

Yah gess the egalitarian crank is going to be a no but I need to get the head done any way so don't thing the suppertec valves are going to be an problem has any one used the zzp guirdled block

Taxi91

What are the GM barings rated to

Taxi91

I just found a full supercharge kit on cregslist so getting it tommorw got a grate deal on it

BankerBalt

bearings - as long as you're well oiled and allow your car to warm up before you do your beating, you'll be fine with any. gm bearings are what i'm running.

Taxi91

Ok thanks for that
Has any one done the hardend oil pump gear upgrade in the 2.2

Im in the processing of finishing up my s/c install, literally waiting on a tune to drive it. Trifecta is taking forever... wish i would have went with someone else.

Taxi91

That sucks cuzz Of te down time but I'm not in a rush still need to get all the right parts together
Any ideas what the best compresen u recommend for the build

BankerBalt

i put zzp's neutral balance shafts in when i built mine. there's no driveability issues. just make sure you locktite the bolt that holds the sprocket on the shaft

you could go to a 9.5:1 ratio for a bit more boost. would just lose lower end. i put 10:1's in mine and i have power all the way through like it's cool

Taxi91

Ok thanks but isent 10:1 high if u whant to go turbo in fucher

BankerBalt

Meh, it just means I won't run as much boost and ill still have low end power too.

Taxi91

True true

There's a few people who have the girdled block. If you are asking if it's a good piece, absolutely, but not really necessary unless you plan on huge power and I mean over 600 whp by that. Darton sleeves will do fine if you aren't looking for something crazy. I believe stenguyen did the oil pump gears and the balance shafts are up to you. They'll free up some power but the main purpose for them is to let you rev past 7.5k more safely. I also went with 10:1 compression which as bankerbalt said you keep your low end power and just run less boost. With lower compression you would have to run more boost to make the same power as on 10:1. Lower compression is safer but if you're careful and don't try to have a really aggressive tune the higher compression will be fine even with a turbo

Taxi91

Thanks for the input gess I have to decide wher I whant to go still have some time but definitely need to chose soon

Taxi91

Dose any one know wher I cood get 9:5:1 compresen pistons and rods for a 2.2 crank

bluebalt07

iTrader: (8)

Nobody makes them. Your option is 8.9:1 wisecos or having a custom set made

BankerBalt

false. you can contact wiseco and have them build a 9.5:1 compression if you'd like.

and actually, you can get forged pistons for lsj, which are 9.5:1 compression. they are the same bore

also, just realized you said "custom set made" ><

bluebalt07

iTrader: (8)

LSJ's have a different wrist pin size so you can't use them with L61 rods and yeah I meant custom made by like someone like wiseco lol

Taxi91

Ok thanks for the info got to see what they whould go for

Taxi91

I hot the supercharger last week off of cregslist just got pics now and hot mu suppertech valves and springs yesterday and my timing kit
