Say goodbye to your DD..

 

will the zzp 2.2 cat-con downpipe bolt-n to the vibrant header?

i need to know this quick !

 

not to thread jack lets just say he went full boltons and a stage 2 cam then slapped a 75 shot on, what could you see hp wise

 

ummm prolly a blown motor

 

mayyyybe..and i wouldnt

but mid 200's
and yes...stg 3 cams are not happy for dd lol
stg 2 cams are bad enough

 

the answer is just about no.

 

hey bro... ive got an 08 LT too. u can go full bolt on parts i.e. headers, downpipe, intake, cat back, intake manifold, throttle body from a 2.4L, spark plugs, and a good tune. that would prolly get u 220hp but not 200whp. thats pretty much how ive built my car. its not bad but im gonna supercharge mine evenually...

 

I would say port and polish the head, get a full 3in header back exhaust with no cats. Youll need a nice cold air intake and fairly large cams but it should be doable. Im into hondas and its fairly easy to get 220-230 from a 1.6L so I dont see why its so hard for a 2.2.

 

I'd like to ask all of the guys that went for the 200whp N/A if they would do it over the same way.

I went as far as i could without getting crazy and I'm kinda mad I went that direction. Waste of time money and pain.

 

yes...unique, fun, can do over time (unlike boost which you pretty much have to do almost all at once), etc

i may have done a bit more research first so i didnt do somethings more then once, but all in all its been great

no way it will get you 220hp, not happening EVER with those mods
you MIGHT see 180-185 crank hp and then compensate for whp from that

 

go n/a originallity is always best! lol (puts flame suit on)

 

I guess you have a reading issue:
Damn it you beat me too it.

 

Dude, all I said was stage 3 comp cams would be very iffy on a DD.. Some people with only stage 2 comp cams say DD is a bitch.

What are you trying to prove? ****.

 

ok you two, stop arguing

 

Dont be bitter....reconsider

 

good luck

 

i honestly dont see why you cant get 200whp or more, i know a few guys here witht he H22A (JDM H22) making 225-255whp.
the H22 is still a 2.2 and what most of them have done is this
11:1 compression P5P pistons, OEM type S
Head milled 0.030", yielding roughly 11.7-11.8:1
Skunk2 Pro1 cams
Head ported and polished, 5 angle valve job, port work by Dave Lind
Skunk2 modified intake manifold, ported and reworked, S2000 ported throttle body
10 lb chromoly flywheel, unorthodox crank pulley
4-2-1 JDM Feels header, full 2.5" exhaust, no cat
Tuned with CromePro, made 220whp and 158wtq

the ones who changed their cranks made a bit more power

 

Something that you can look up for more N/A power is ITB's. Idk if anyone has done them to a cobalt yet so that would be sweet.

 

For me N/A is so much fun but there are so many much faster cars in my area that make me want more, and i'm already on a built motor and alot of nitrous not to mention if you do it right later on down the road you could add a supercharger without a problem.

 

i like my N/A balt cuz its still half way fuel efficient!! i do agree thats its a pain tho

 

no one has because of the issues with merging the cable actuated itbs with the fly by wire system in place as well as injector setups and such

i have done a lil research but its goign to be abotu 2-3k just for the itb setup...not worth it until everything else is already done



and i love my n/a, fun to drive, get funny looks cause its a 4 banger with a lope :P


just is fun

 

i did 400km for 20liter. its 5L/100km. its good for a cam stg 2 setup

but when i race it a ohter story.

i m now on 87 octane and it fine

 

i regularly get 40+ freeway mpg and 30 if im not on it hard elsewhere...
when i really put my foot into it though im looking at like 7mpg... 0_o

 

But it would not be efficient to build a high compression n/a motor, and then decide to drop a turbo on it.
