Looking to buy a intake what are you guys running on your 2.2l and how do you like it.

 

K+N short ram. Made the car much more noisey but I wanted that anyway. I like it a lot even though it was probably way more than I need.

 

where did you get it from was it the typhoon

 

When I had a 2.2 I first bought an Injen intake because I liked that you could switch between short ram and cold air. But I bought it used and it never worked right. I think there was a leak around the MAF. So I ended up buying the K&N and it was awesome. Loved that thing. Now I have a K&N on my LNF.

And yes it would be the Typhoon, they only make that one or an OEM replacement drop in filter for our cars.

 

K&N 69-4515TS
Robot Check

Or GMPP Intake

just order the kn short ram. il post how i like i after i get it and install it.

 

Yep that's what I have and I loved it from the first time I floored it. Now that I've calibrated the MAF and tuned it I love it even more.

 

how did you go about calibrating it

 

HP Tuners + wideband. Dialed in very good now.

 

are you NA

 

Yes. NA, with that K&N, 2.4 TB and IM, Badmab header, ZZP 2.5" catted DP and a custom made 2.5" exhaust with mufflers I bought, not the muffler shop.

Roughly 150whp automatic. (Not to be taken too seriously.)

 

Make sure your car doesn't have SAI because that will limit you to just the K&N intake if you do have it.

 

Or just delete it entirely.

 

having a brain fart right now SAI???

 

Secondary air injection. Emissions bullshit. On 06-08 it is part of the exhaust manifold. If thre are two hoses on your intake you probably have it. Or just google image search

 

It was only on certain cars. My 06 did not have it

 

il check tomorrow on my 08 i was on zzp an didn't see many options for exhaust on the 2.2 L61

 

The stuff either I used or would use if I could do it again:

Header: (out of stock at the moment.) ZZPerformance - Ecotec Shorty Header #ZZ-ECTSHDR
Downpipe: (catted because emissions is a thing in TX if I ever move there) ZZPerformance - 2.5 inch Stainless Cobalt/Ion Downpipe #ZZ-E25DP
Intake Manifold: 2006-2007 2.4L probably from a G6 or 2.4 Cobalt.
Throttle Body: 2008 or newer 2.4L 6-pin http://www.ebay.com/itm/08-09-10-11-CHEVROLET-SATURN-PONTIAC-BUICK-GMC-TERRAIN-Throttle-Body-2-4-2-4L-/230949818468?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3AEquinox&hash=item35c5ae9064&vxp=mtrIntake: K&N does good.

Resonator: http://shop.zzperformance.com/store/...Resonator.aspx My magnaflow has gotten tons louder and raspier after almost 3 years.

Muffler: Meh whatever. I would probably buy the twin loop muffler I have now again strictly for the looks I get from people. http://www.ebay.com/itm/TWIN-LOOP-ROUND-TIP-4-OUTLET-STAINLESS-STEEL-TYPE-M-MUFFLER-EXHAUST-WELD-ON-/380967699895?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item58b371c5b7&vxp=mtr Here's a shitty vid from before I was tuned:

 

Oh and just fyi, if you think you want to go for big power gains, the 2.2L with full bolt ons and tune is still slow.

It takes a supercharger or turbo to get over 200whp.

So to go fully bolted you would be spending about the same as a full supercharger setup.

If I did it again I would have saved for the super.

 

If you don't get good deals on the 2.2 parts yes. I got my DP for less than half price new because Black Friday sales.

If you want nothing but power, by all means supercharge it and don't go over 250-300hp. But if you want a peppy gas saver by all means mod your 2.2! I optimized my DFCO a bit with HP Tuners and holy crap the difference it makes in mpg. I can romp around and still get 35-40mpg. Gonna try modding the TCC lockup at closed throttle next.

 

i have a holset turbo I'm planning on putting on it with the turbo manifold and down pipe from zzp

 

Great then don't waste your money on intake side because it will be useless later on

 

i have to buy other parts to make a kit so il put the intake on there and then sell it when i complete the kit
