If you can point out what im missing, or name anything in the pic that would be awesome haha. First Balt build ever.

Thanks peeps!

 

intake manifold, throttle body, intake, map sensors i think?

 

Yea i have that forgot to list it haha, i finally got the picture to work.

 

Are you running that on stock internals?

 

If you plan on running anything under a 3.0 I would highly suggest dual pass, option b and a phenolic intake manifold spacer

 

yes i will absolutely run a 2.8 on a stock motor, if i blow it up oh well What will this put me at, around 14psi?

 

Well a 2.9 with supporting mods will net around the upper 250hp range. 2.8 should net around mid 260s. As far as psi on that pulley, I'm on a 3.1 and running right around 10psi.

 

I have a question are the 2.2l in cavys stronger? I have a friend thats turbo on 20lbs stock motor for 3 years and is fine its a 3076 are these motors really this weak

 

I don't know about cavy ecos being any stronger or not. I do know that our factory rods are only rated at like 256hp. But a lot of people run 2.9s with minimal problems so take that for what it's worth.

 

Well i guess ill be the guinea pig haha

 

I'm on a 2.8 and I see between 14 and 15 psi right now in summer weather. I'm sure it will go up when it gets cooler like in fall and winter. Either way I wouldn't run it on stock internals. I ran a 3.0 on stock internals so you might be ok, you might not. You should definitely get all the cooling mods that noor suggested at very least.

 

Yea ill pick up the option B/Dual Pass. I probably stick with the 2.8 pulley though.

 

?! im on a 2.7 (LSJ) methanol etc and putting down 265. I dont think a 2.2 will see numbers that high

 

went to log this morning and I was seeing 12 psi then would spike to 15 psi >.< I'm supposed to be at 8 lol 3.1 pulley. think my cat clogged or something

 

I just bought a Tsudo Catback, ZZP 2.5 catted Downpipe and a Ebay Header. When i get paid again ill pick up the extra coolant tank, LSJ Washer tank, Option B, and Dual Pass, stage 2 belt, LSJ Cai. With these parts and what I have in my top post, am I good to go?

 

Ok so I will probably be fine then, Ill just make sure i get it tuned extremely well. There is actually a dyno about 5 mins from me.

 

def a dyno tune.

 

Yea, I was aiming for 250whp myself but would be fine with around 240. I just didnt think a 3.0 pulley would get me there. The guy a Easy Street Rides N Rods, the dyno, is supposedly really good. I just called them and he told me he had expierence with cobalts. Hopefully this all goes well

 

I've first hand seen a IRL on a 2.9 with header back exhaust, 42s, and a tune make 258 at the wheels. It's doable.

 

This was a 2.2L?

 

IRL = Ion Redline

And there are plenty of guys hitting 250/260whp with bolt ons and a 2.9/2.8. Check the dyno thread...

 

Haha my bad i didnt know thats what IRL meant. Yea ive been browsing through the threads checking out peoples builds. I really thought IRL meant In real life lmao!

 

IRL is a 2.0 LSJ motor. It's pretty close to a 2.2 in the block but that's where the similarities end.

But for you in a 2.2 with a 2.8 pulley, all the cooling mods, supporting performance mods, and a good supporting dyno tune, you should be in the upper 250 mark.

 

That would be fine with me! Its a DD, so i dont need it to get me in trouble haha, i have my weekend car for that. I just tired of it having zero ass to it. 145 BHP gets boring extremely fast. Sometimes i feel unsafe trying to merge on the highway haha!

 

-
I see around 11psi with the 3.06 pulley and I believe 8psi was with the stock pulley acoording to ZZP. Btw if thats the case I think its time to but that kitten out and either free flow or install a high flow cat.
