Im going to be eventually building up my 2.2 sc to be able to handle the power to add a TVS blower and go with the smallest pulley possible. now my question is what should, or would you guys recommend me doing to my engine before, and what would you guys recommend to get to put out as much power as i possibly can? thanks for the help

 

need new rods/pistons. build your head. buy a turbo instead

 

but i dont really want a turbo tho, i love the whine to my blower and dont want to give that up, its not often around here you hear superchargers, its always cars sneezing, i want different lol

also banker i like how u rhymed lol

 

lol no rhyme intended. i liked the sound of the blower too but i got bored of the power of the m62. i planned to do a tvs but wanted the gas mileage of the turbo when i'm not in boost. you're gonna want new axles too.

 

Port head, valve springs, rods, pistons, neutral or delete balance shafts, get meth or run E85.

 

cant do E85, no where here sells it

 

Yeah definitely will need internals. I'd do a fresh motor. It's not that pricey. But you will need axles. And meth is a good idea. I would just go with rods/pistons crank will be fine. I can help you with the balance shaft delete if you need. I deleted mine for 50cents. F those expensive kits.

 

you can get plenty of gas mileage out of a sc car when not in boost

Pistons, rods, valve springs, head studs, clutch, meth

Done.

 

You need only worry about the balance shaft if you are going to be revving the engine up there for long periods. The stock ecu only maps ups to 8125 rpm but the nbs or balance shaft delete would be something to think about if you're going to be doing 7500+ rpm for long periods or frequently.
Valve springs go without saying at that point if spinning that fast anyway.
It is said the stock ones float at 7.1/7.2k rpm

 

Some guy on here was selling a BUILT 2.2 he had a tvs 2.6 on... maybe you should buy that

 

Put a stock pulley on the TVS and you can get away with no engine work right away.

 

this was what i was thinking exactly, but id add in a better h/e, what im kinda worried about is spark plugs, what would i need? and i was assuming i should run 80# injectors as well... but thanks guys a lot for ur input, any more is more then welcome to

 

Personally I would also add LSD to the list if I was gonna spend the money on fwd.

 

oh yeah I forgot about those lol. Since you are on meth I would go 80s.

For plugs run NGK LTR6IX-11

 

Not sure that you would need 80s.

Easier part number for that plug is 6509. Its a big gap too .044

 

yeah, im running those for plugs right now, but i have them gapped at .032, i thought with more boost the tighter the gap needs to be?

 

Correct.

 

YAY! Im not completely rtarded lol

ah crap yes i am

 

just buy my motor bro. its proven to make power and will come with flywheel and clutch and valve cover and sensors. willing to take 3500 now plus shippng cuz i will use a crating service.

80s are needed for man size pulley


Besides they'll give some breathing room if he changes setups later on (i.e. turbo)

 

Depends on pulley...he never said what size.

 

id want to go with either a 2.5" or a 2.6" and as for the built motor.... shipping and customs will butt rape me lol

 

For sure 80s then.
