rods are rated at 250bhp. They snapped at 283bhp under nitrous. Ive seen as high as 300whp on stock rods/pistons under boost. The question goes to you...how much of a safety margin do you want to leave?

you'll have to buy the LSJ reservoir. theyre the exact same shape, but mirror images of each other. theres no way to mount the stock one on the other side.

 

Well, considering this in my DD, a decent amount - but I still want power. I'd say maybe 200 whp? So about 225 hp at the fly?

Thought so.

 

dang yet another person who is going supercharged. lol i will doing mine next weekend. might be postin up my build also.

 

its whatever you want. I personally am around 260bhp, so 220whpish? but it all depends how hard you wanna push your car. Like i said, no one can make that choice for you

 

Well, how much boost are you running?

 

bout 13psi

 

hunter, did you or does anyone have a build guide/how to for their 2.2 supercharged build?

 

woah woah.... 2.8 pulley!!??

 

i made a how-to..?

to cole: almost...2.9"

 

another pound is a huge difference

 

there are alot of how to's for supercharging a 2.2 just search it. hunterkiller made one that is good to go by. and beck made one for the 2.4

here is a thread

and another one

meh
it felt noticeable...but the interceptor says i went from high 24Xhp peak 250hp up to high 25Xhp peak 265hp. a good 10-15 horses

 

i searched, but only saw the 2.4 build? hmm, must not have used right key word phrase? no idea. thanks for the link!

 

What will the Stage 2 pulley make as far as boost goes? What about the 2.8? 2.7?

 

3.0" made 11.5psi, 2.9" makes 13psi, so take a stab at 2.8" and 2.7"
stg 2 pulley is 3.05" fyi

 

still need a boost gauge? i got a Faze for $20

 

u dont need that boost controller thingy, leave it out, just leave the bottom nipple open venting to atmosphere....the sensor ontop of the blower, u can leaveit there, but it wont plug into anything, the sensor on the intake manfold, take it out, and put ur MAP sensor in there, yo dont need the sensor you just took out, you need **** loads of 3/4" hose and 1/2" hose, you need a another coolant tank, ameks ure your TB harness has the same amount of pins as that throttle body, and than u still need to repin for that TB to fit...or else you might be stuck using your stock one, lemme see what else, you need 3 longer bolts for the alternator, you need to longer bolts for the intake manifold, you need of course a h/e, a intake manifold gasket for the head...thats it, there is other things, but im too lazy to really try and remember what all we ended up needed, i mentioned all theones that would of screwed u over if you didnt have the rest is self explanitory

 

very good post. Im not sure what you used 1/2" hose for tho...all mine is 3/4". The bolts you need for the alternator are M8 1.25 threading and i think either 120mm or 130mm long. (measure the stock ones and add 20-25mm)

 

LOL we didn't use it good point, we bought it, just never used it :p

 

my 2.8 makes around 15-16 or so

 

boost levels should be different for 2.2's due to the extra displacement...tho those numbers sound ike theycould be 2.2 numbers too..lol

 

Numbers shouldn't differ since boost is measured before the engine .

Looks like I should stick with a Stage 2 pulley to be safe?

 

lmao your off big time buddy its a long hair Chihuahua its my mothers dog

 

Wow, I was off.

 

do not hack up your wiring harness get one off a cavalier/sunfire with a 2.2 eco
