hey guys im new to ur boards i have owned my 06 2.2 ls 5 sp for about 3 months and just purchased the greddy alpha kit waiting for it to come in. First off I previousy owned a 2004 rsx base turbo that ran high 12s i need a turbo i love it. n e way im haveing problems finding a good clutch for the 2.2 can anyone link me any sites with one i can buy cuz obviously after my tune im gona smoke the clutch so n e suggestions i promise to post dynod power and vids of my ride. I am really just looking for a pressure plate but kits r cool to. and also any suggestions on a safe psi to run at.

thanks alot
MIKE

 

why did you get rid of the RSX? Just wondering, cuz the 2.2 cobalt isnt gonna get to the 12's as easily IMO. The stock setting on the turbo in the GARRETT kit is 8-9 psi so thats what you should run at. From what I know its just a bolt on solution for you.

 

I loved the rsx but due to ******** driving i got owned cruzing the speed limit and got t boned do you know anything about my clutch problem and what r u boosting on ur 2.4

 

thats too bad about the rsx,its more car than the 2.2,nevertheless check our vendor section,just about all of them carry clutches for us.

 

does anyone know if there is a clutch that is better than the exedy stage 1 for the 2.2 cuz with the turbo on the way im gonna be putting out more that 170 trq and thats all that clutch can take. desperate for a new clutch already got new tranny turbo kit cams, valves, springs, and rods and pistons and will be getting it tuned when i cant run my car as soon as i get my clutch any sggestions please

 

look through the supporting vendors section and you will find clutches. also look through the classifieds... someone was selling a stage 3 a week ago or so. As for tuning... there is no tuning for the 2.2 so I don't know why you keep talking about tuning.

 

I have had my car dyno tuned already so I dont know what you mean

 

Im putting down 210wtq on my 2.2 with n2o and Ive had ZERO slipping with my Exedy stage 1.

 

nice how long have u had the clutch and just curious what shot u running my drag car is a 99 camaro ss and just got my no2 set up installed last night my vids r on utube but without no2 those vids come soon

 

Not saying I don't believe you, but if you had your car tuned then share how they did it and what they did because they're are about 100 guys on this site that want their 2.2 tuned but can't cuz our computers haven't been cracked.

If you know a way let us know....


Are you running a piggyback?

 

well im in arizona i went down to a shop called gearhead garage and basically said how much do u charge for dyno tuning he asked me what car i had i said a 2.2 ls cobalt and then he said 300 i said ok when he said ok now i said here are my keys and he tuned it and dynod at 154 hp and 161 trq then i drove home and smoked the tires

I can call him up and ask what software that they used

well whats the reason that you cant tune our cars

 

Yea, sounds like he dynoed it. did he give you a before and after? plus why tune a stock car? I would find out what they did man, cuz tuning aint out there for us yet. The best we have is piggy backing.

 

dude what ever any stock balt wants to race and tell me its not tuned im down. ill find out what software and stuff they used cuz it is without a doubt tuned and itll be tuned again by the same guy when i get my turbo

 

only had the clutch for about a month but Ive put almost 3000 miles on it and Ive gone threw 3 bottles on a 75 shot.

 

nice im gonna run a 125 shot on the camaro i dont think im gonna use no2 on the balt

 

Hey,I hope it is tuned, but you would be the first.

 

so then how r there turbod 2.2s

 

piggybacks

 

ok well i will get my kit sometime this week or early next week when i get my clutch i will drive to the place get it dyno TUNED and will get all the info on what soft their using and what numbers im putting out. sorry for the confusion but i am guarenteeing u i got tuned no piggyback. I will help all you guys out i promise when i no answers ull no thnx for the info on the clutch i ordered one tonight

 

i'm very curious as well and I'm in AZ so if its legit I can vouch for you.

but unless this shop knows that SCT can tune for us that would be the only way possible for you to get a tune unless they are running some unknown software and haven't let the world know.

 

Stock settings aren't always optimal for performance.

 

SCT is supposed to have cracked the E16a ECM. The problem is no one has bought it, and we cannot get any information from SCT about buying the tuning software. So hearing that someone has tuned your car is kinda odd. My car ran great with the turbo but i was run off a piggyback unit. Im hoping before my build is done SCT will release their software with the E16a support.

 

well im a supercharged 2.2 and im still not tuned and have been that way for 4-5 mo. and 8000 miles later at 12psi. but i need tuning very bad too its nice but its allso a slug compaired to what it could be if t wouldent flip out and dump fuel. becouse i want to here more about this tunning you got.

 

Hmm, so what exactly is happening to your vehicle because it is supercharged and not electronically tuned?

 

it dumps fuel when the boost starts to get over 6psi so at 12 its running so rich that im losing power.
