Does the 2.2l S10 and the 2.2l Cobalt have the same engine? I was listening to some exhaust clips of the cobalt and was wondering if my s10 2.2l would sound the same?

 

S10s have a slightly different version of the 2.2 used in the older Cavaliers, among other cars. The Cobalt is a completely different engine.

 

so would the sound be similiar?

 

not even the same internals. those motors are so different. welcome btw.

 

no, one will sound different .

 

So true, so true.

 

yup yup, completely differant engines.

 

i know this isnt an s10 forum...but the other s10 forums around arent really into the import sound. I have a 2.2l and im looking into putting an import exhaust like a skunk2 or suttin. Does anyone know of were i can get some sound clips of exhausts on 98+ S10s?

 

umm i belive they have to older cavi engines you could go check out j-body.org they may have some sound clips

 

yea j-body.or would be a good resource, my friend has a 2.2 s10 with ricer exhaust, sounds terrible lol

 

The S10 uses the LN2 motor, it's a 2.2 Overhead Valve Motor.

You have a 2.2 Dual Overhead Cam Motor.

If you don't know much about OHV motors, I'll explain the differences...

The LN2 OHV motor has 1 camshaft that is located in the block --- Your DOHC motor has 2 camshafts over the cylinder head.

The LN2 OHV motor has only 8 valves --- Your DOHC motor has 16 valves

Also, there were 2 variations of the LN2 motor that was in the J-Body (3rd Generation). From 95-97, they used a 2.2 OHV motor that had one big characteristic difference of having side feed injectors. In 98, they redesigned it and dubbed it the "2200 OHV" which changed over to top feed injectors on top of other differences.

2002 was the last year it was offered in a J-Body. They were only available in the Base Models and came with a 5 speed manual (95-99 had Isuzu Trannies, 2000-2002 had Getrag Trannies), 4-speed automatic (4T40E) and 3 speed automatic (3T40).

Hope this helps.

 

its the 2200 version in the 98 and up s10
