Searched couldnt find anything. Basically asking how much HP can the stock 2.2 internals/tranny handle before you need to upgrade them. Im thinking of Turbo'ing my 2008 2.2L and would like to know if its even worth it. Just looking to reach about 200WHP. Prlly only run 8-10 lbs of boost.

Thanks in Advance.

 

In the vicinity of 250 hp if I remember correctly. Having said that, if you are looking at reaching only 200 whp, supercharging might be a better option.

 

Sounds good. I been looking at the Garrett Turbo kit, Anyone have any suggestions? I know its gonna cost me about 3k.

 

200whp could easily be achieve with a supercharger. Its much cheaper and easier to instal. Also its instant power no turbo lag. I would not waste 3k on the garret turbo kit unless you want to go big and make that 2.2L really quick. If your going to turbo I would suggest ZZP's kit. Its probally alot less money.

 

ZZp is the way to go....

 

2, 3, maybe 5 if ur lucky

 

if you just look for 200 hp than supercharge it and the garrett kit is discontinued.

 

zzp's turbo kit

 

Buy a supercharger kit used for like 1000 and be hitting 220 fairly easy. Or zzp turbo get stage 2 upgrade internals and do it big

 

yea the 2.2's internal go at about 250 hp so i wouldent go over like 6lbs you can probably get a 5lb spring for the wastegate.

 

sell it and get an ss/sc or ss/tc, for all the money and time you spend, you could pick up a used ss/sc for a little more.

 

Pm El Mariachi.

 

if youre going to do it, do it right.

Build the engine, and make it 300 whp

 

Why waste his time with 300, if he builds it, needs to push it to atleast 400

 

im lookin for a good 200-220. So skip the turbo and get a supercharger? i havnt looked at any supercharger kits at all...anyone know of any good cheap ones i guess that work?

 

zzp stage 1

 

I dont see the ZZP Stage 1 supercharger kit anywhere on ZZP's website

 

they dont make a kit you gotta buy a m62 and piece it together

 

i see another one of those helpfull threads with a lot of info brewing.

turbo will be about $2500. supercharger $1500. I would think they both take the same time to install. People are installing pieced together supercharger kits in a FULL weekend, i turbo kit would have instructions and everything so i can't imagine it could take much longer

 

ive been debating this too, not sure if i should go supercharger or turbo, but im leaning towards turbo

 

Used turbo kits are 1400-1100 same with used supercharger kits and people that have little experience have installed them in 1 day by themselves. All you need is eveything planned out. The right tools and some patience.

 

maybe, but most turbo kits i see are new. Does anyone sell a new sc kit??

 

There were a few selling a month ago havent seen any since. Im also looking to go forced induction.

 

for the power you want, zzp stage 1 TURBO kit is great, look it up 2k

 

gertrag trannys will not hold more than 250 iv tried went threw 2 already the diff's grenade and i dont even have wheel hop quafe lsd's need to be put in to a gertrag if ur building a motor or ur wasting ur time just the diff if over a g good luck been ther broke that
