can someone just do somthing crazy to their car, this thread is starting to get lame...I look at the 2.0 performance section they actually have interesting stuff going on...I guess we just need more aftermarket stuff...talking about window tint and exhaust sound clips is kinda lame...we have not had a good new thread in awhile...that top speed thread was kinda molested...just my thoughts

 

most of us bought the 2.2 mainly for A to B and for its fuel economy......so its likely that many of us arent going to drop money under the hood

 

well right now im lacking in the funds to do any major mods to my car since christmas is over im down to 12 hours a week at my extra money job so i have to save pennies to buy stuff

 

how bout u post some pics of that turbo set up that ur running on your car. im sure that would spark up some nice convos. later man

Tax times coming up. So we will see what our Rich uncle sam can help us out with!

Keep in mind its right after the holidays still, so people arent so inclined to spend $$$ on their cars. But keep the faith. it should get interesting again in the not too distant future.

I'd actually like to hear about where Halfcent is on his project! Havent heard anything on that in quite some time!

 

wait till this summer when i go turbo as long as someone gets us some fuel and engine management by then

 

I really should get a digital camera

 

im trying im trying

 

Same here.

 

YOu could help out by posting something crazy that you're doing to your car

If not, then just be patient. When you buy new relitivley new cars it takes a while for the aftermarket to catch up to it.
Yeah, the 2.2L ecotec is not a new engine, but placing it in the Cobalt and fabricating kits for it is going to take a while. Luckily, the engine has been tested before so the limits are known which wll take the guess work out of the process.
After this summer (or sooner), I expect a lot more interesting things to happen for the our engine but you just gotta be a little more patient.

Before you know it, you'll have more options for FI than you could wish for. Just a though... just a thought,...

 

ill take some post some pics of the dc sport catback exhaust installed and injen intake and stuff.

 

interesting like modify it with a semi-truck or something? cause that would be messy

 

You might want to consider the fact that we had any money we would'd bought an SS.


Bob

 

actually SS wernt available when i bought my car. but im glad and not glad that i didnt get an SS. Once i get my car T/c then ill feel alot better.

 

I'm getting there, I got horribly delayed when my first engine failed. Anyway, I'm about a week and a half away from getting it back from the shop, again. After that, it goes to Hahn for the kit.

Presently, the trans is done. The engine is getting a new Ferrea valve train to replace the Bates Engineering parts that failed in the first engine. I promise, I'll get it together really soon.

Preliminary numbers from Hahn on the kit are 325 HP on 93 octane pump gas, 475 using 110 race gas.

I want to keep it street legal and not break anything, so I won't be running the high octane stuff. I will probably upgrade my cams a little later which should help that 325 number grow a bit. The only other possible upgrades I could do would be 10:1 pistons, which I don't think I want to do, or a CNC p&p head.

 

^^^ Awesome man! Cant wait to see a finished product! Your car is going to be off the hook!

 

thats w/ ur car tho w/ the engine rebuild right? how bout if were just using our stock internals then what numbers should we be looking at w/ the hanh/ garret?

ryan

 

Then you would basically be building the JIN tuner transformation car. It made 240 HP with a stock motor.

 

i like very very much.

halfcent, u may havementioned it before but what r u gonna do for fuel management. is hahn providing u with their portfueler system???

 

Yes. The Port Fueler for the Ecotec is a complete replacement of the stock intake manifold. It will be the side entry style manifold with welded runner tubes. The system is managed by the Greddy Profec B.
