Get a hold of the GM Ecotec build books. Both the 2.2 and 2.0 versions. That will help. They have complete parts lists in them of the stock engines, which you can use to then kit bash them together.

 

ok thanks where do i find them

 

http://tunersource.gmblogs.com/

Under the Racer Tech tab.

 

so if im getting this right, the 08 cobalt's computer cannot be cracked for the 2.2l? and there is or is not a turbo(i have an auto) that will work for my car? i thought i was a smart guy, but im not finding anywhere that has a tc/sc for my car. please someone point me in the right direction here.

 

^ the '08 was cracked recently by trifecta. any kit that fits the other 2.2l will bolt to yours

 

unless i misread the site or if they are fake, andysautosport.com has turbos that fit cobalts. apparently all models. idk. but if someone wants to go there and check it out its a easy site to navigate.

 

Everybody has "turbos" that fit all Cobalts. The question is, do they have a complete system in a box. No they don't.

 

i noticed you mentioned to get a build book??

gm manuals have all the parts listed that are nessary to supercharge my 2.2??

hoses and all that nonsense..??? or is it pretty much the same parts as a 2.0 SS??

 

The build book does in fact have a complete parts list, but as I said, it's for the J-body cars. You will have to make a few small changes, specifically with the throttle. Yes, it's pretty much the same as the SS. Just go download them (they are free) and read them. There are separate books for the 2.0 and 2.2, but get them both and do some reading.

 

i had a question for everyone. i have a 08 cobalt ls. im turboing it. i just ran into a few little snags. i have universal intercooler piping and nowhere to put the maf sensor. was wondering if anyone on here has turboed a ls yet. and could share some knowledge with me. how you did it all the specs. even pics or something. anything would help alot. thanks

I see this forum is older but I need info on turboingba cobalt ls idk how to hook up my mass air flow sensor on the piping

 

are there any other companys that can tune an 08 l61 other then trifecta? im not a big fan of through the mail tuning, or if not are there any stand alone engine controlers out there that can be tuned?

 

The AEM F/IC works. However, it will work better if you first have Trifecta tune the car to play nicely with it.

 

i have an lsj supercharger and planning to put it on my 2007 2.2 cobalt ls but the supercharger has a short spout and in pictures of other s/c ls cobalt the s/c has a long spout and another issue is is that my s/c looks nothing like the lsj s/c i bought off of a donar car so could someone maybe clear this up for me?

 

Sounds like you don't have an LSJ M62 Eaton.

 

i posted pictures of it in my gallery uploads on my profile so if could do me a kind favor and look at them please so i know if i should sell it or not lol... i was told it was a stage 2 gmhp s/c when i bought it

 

that is not the lsj charger you got cobra

 

so sell it? haha

 

I don't know if this was mentioned earlier but if I get a turbo kit should i get some forged pistons and if so what compression rate and bore?

 

Stock bore is fine but you want a lower compression for a turbo setup so go with 8.9:1 Wiesco pistons are good.

 

Can anyone write up a list on parts i need to build a tc kit?

 

-Turbo of choice
-Turbo manifold w/ correct flange to fit turbo
-External wastegate if ur turbo is not internally wastegated
-Fabricated downpipe (needs to be custom)
-2.5" or bigger exhaust
-All intercooler piping (custom fitted to your desires)
-All intercooler cuplers (may need dif sizes)
-Hose clamps or t-bolt clamps for the piping
-Vaccum lines and all vaccum fittings
-Intercooler
-Custom brakets & bolts to bolt it to front frame support
-Injectors of choice
-New Injector wiring harness
-Intake
-MAF pipe
-BOV
-Oil lines for turbo with fittings of choice that meet the needs of your turbo
-Coolant lines (if your turbo is coolant cooled also)
-Coolant fittings if ^ applys to you
-Oil Drain line with fittings to tap into oil boss or oil pan
-Wideband
-Boost gauge
-Other gagues if you wish (but not needed)
-1 step colder spark plugs are recommended
-2.4L intake manifold is recommended but not necessary
-can also get metal intake mani
-RTV silicone to seal back up the oilpan
-New motor oil
-May need coolant
-All necessary tools
-91 or higher octane
-TUNE

-OR buy a complete kit if u do not know what you are doing or may need help

that is a rough list of things I can think of off the top of my head. Hope this helps man

 

Does anybody know wether or not the ss supercharger with intake manifold fit onto an l61 engine???

 

you're joking right?





yes it will

 

alright i know many poeple have asked this but ive been searching online and im just trying to find that best turbo kit that would work for my car i have a 2008 ls auto coupe. i found ones that are for 2.2 but it says for manual trans only. if someone could help me out it would be greatly appreciated

 

i got a 2007 cobalt 2.2l ls and i got the Garrett Turbo GT Alpha Turbo Kit and the hahns 3in exhaust from the turbo back and also a exedy stage 2 clutch. I read that the ecm changed from 2006 to 2007 and my dumba** already bought it all. now the turbo kit i got came with the SCT flash. So the question is with will work if i use it and can my engine hold up to that turbo
