Hey, i am curious about some info on the 2005 2.2 LS, Im in the Air Force, my Suite Mate (i live in the dorms) drives a 2005 2.2LS Cobalt and he has like no mods done to it as far as engine and such, i drive a 300ZX and he is looking at trying to get somewhere close to me as far a HP and Torque. what would the options be for upping the HP/Torque. I was thinking along the lines of this, Turbo, New Injectors, chipped, plugs, new plug wires, fuel pump maybe a inter-cooler. intake, exusast and maybe a better clutch say stage II. would we need a stronger tranny or no? I have drove his car a couple times and it has some pull to it, but nothing like my Z does(but its a V-6 so) i know the SS is supercharged, but i dont think he can afford a swap out. lol and we plan to swap in maybe a LS1 or LS6 into my Z when i get back from being deployed so... so anyways what and who makes the parts for his car and where would a good place to get it be. we want to make his car into a nice lil sleeper, so any help i could get would be nice, cause we both dont know alot about his car. many thanks

Chris

 

how is this a how to???

 

move it to 2.2 Techno Info

 

ok, thanks

 

There are lots of threads on this forum that address your questions. It would be kindda repetative to share them all once. If you have a more specific question after you read a few of the other threads, I would happy to help.

 

I'm guessing you are non turbo 300ZX?

no are no turbo kits out yet specifically for this car...

for him to be in the 15 second range all he'd have to do is stick to bolt ons, intake, header, exhaust...not many people have done much to 2.2L Cobalts so far but just read around and see what everyone else is doing.

 

As of now it is, when i get home its getting swapped out with a turbo.

 

custom turbo or gm supercharger, not much else you can do for boost. Nitrous oxide is a somewhat cheap mod. all bolt ons: intake-injen or weapon r, exhaust-pacesetter/monza or custom, pacesetter ceramic header.
you could probably do all that for less than $2000, the car's stock engine can handle a 75 shot of nitrous, its the best way to go IMO because you can keep the fuel economy of not having the forced induction, yet have the power at the flip of a switch.
