my apologies if i come off as being a smartass but i really think this is what he wanted to hear..or im really lost

 

People asked:

Would we need LSJ injectors if we can get tuned?

Complicated answer is:

No.

Oh ****! That isn't complicated!

Seriously...you'd need cams or something along those lines...something where higher demand for fuel because you are taking in more air...which is what cams, F/I, n2o do...

 

A larger throttle body will not suck it in any faster.. only way to even thing about boring it out is if your going turbo or supercharged so that you can fit more compressed air in..


the bigger the whole running on N/A the slower the velocity is..

 

ooo i see now..thanks sorry for the headache

 

i announce this thread officially jacked

 

Tom tell them to read my posts!

It wouldn't have been jacked if they read!

Holy sweet ******* $#^%!#%&$%&@%^@%$^@!$%^@!$%^!@$%

 

yea back on topic....i cant wait to get my tune

mad props for whoever started this though...us 2.2s really needed a tune and im glad to see you guys are actually going through with it and you first ones tuned are helping out the community

 

You quoted him

 

oh...thank you sir, you will be getting my buisness whenever it is ready

 

yah this stuff is exciting cant wait for the results.

 

GIMME GIMME GIMME!!!!! Looks like i might wait for the tuning sounds like its going to be alot cheaper than gettin the smt6.....hmmm $750 for box and wiring and tune or just tune for around $300....wait i shall......march is just around the corner i cant wait.....

 

haha, thank you lol. I cant take any credit for the tuning itself as Vince is the man who did all the actual tuning...but as for getting the ball rolling...ya lol. I had a talk with him one day about cracking into it and it started rolling. We are doing alot of work to get this out and I really hope that this will bring the 2.2 closer to on par with the higher models. I cant take all the credit by any means, but I will def share the fame for now

 

well, heres my plans. within this next week or two, I'm installing my AEM FIC. However, i will ideally still use this tune to remove PE delay, my SAI CEL, speed governor, and add 3 or 4 degrees of ignition advance, since the FIC can remove any that i don't need up high/under boost, but wont be able to give me any advance down low or under vacuum since i will be running 91 instead of 87 now.

removing PE delay should allow me to just add more fuel via MAP vs RPM, and not have to worry about tricking the O2 sensor or anything like that. Unless im imagining this completely wrong.

 

Heres a question for yah.

Can the 2.2s be tuned for a higher octane fuel?

For instance using 93 instead of 87. If so would it be worth it? A noticeable gain?

(I will understand the first post, no thread hi-jacking here)

 

awsome im just gonna hold out for a month or so to get a tune if it works out fine .. cause im not gonna waste my time messing with the aem fic cutting and sodering wires together ... this is gonna be nice for all the 2.2 cobalts finally be able to tune .......


BY THE WAY ANY1 WANNA BUY A BRAND NEW AEM FIC

 

Yes, thats what hes been saying all along. When they say they have advanced the timing a few degrees that means its tuned more for a higher octane fuel. You must always run 91+ if your going to do that though.

EDIT: Well not always, but if you advance timing, you start seeing knock, so running higher octane will help that to a point. So they are able to run 91 octane and advance the timing a couple more degrees to get some more power.

 

What kind of HP gains can be seen from a few degrees being added?

 

Hard to tell honestly. But i'd say its enough to be worth it. We will see dyno info soon.

 

very interested in this.

 

Ya, I run 92 octance shell vpower ALWAYS in my car...im pretty religious about what goes in there. so we tuned for that

 

when do u plan on runnin her on the dyno? I wanna see some numbers man ive been waiting for this for Years lol

 

trying to sched time at the dyno shop - should be early morning one day next week. will keep you all updated

 

excellent thx dude!

 

I would be curious to see what kind of difference there would be between having just the Comp stage 1 cams and having the cams with tuning. I bet there would be 15-20whp right there.

 

I am wondering about stage 3's... If they claim to be 19-23hp(realistically 15-19) it may jump another 10 hp or so...
