im just gonna start saving now to get rid of it next spring i dont see them releasing any thing any time soon ntm i heard they might support the 07's bt not he 06 and 05 i belive its a diff ecu if i get wind of something by next spring ill probally keep it other wise awd here i come

 

it doesnt matter how many were sold but how many want to tune it most cobalts ended up as rentals ori see alot of old people driving them unfotunatly with 2 performance models above us most of the tuning types bought those not hte 2.2

 

u guys shouldnt give up to easily

 

i agree. its taking them a long time yes, but look at it from there prospective. The have 3 models to tune and the 2.2 isn't exactly an SS lol so their going to tackle the ones that will generate more income first then move on. They'll Tune us soon guys, just keep drivin hard and make sure the engine is worked in real good for when it does lol

 

yeah i'm not gonna sell my car just cuz they dont have a tune any time soon. i didnt buy my car just so i could use the tuney thing in it, i bought it to have a nice brand new car.

 

im gonna give my car back up at the end of the lease and idont even think the tune will be out..maybe...2009?

 

lol you havea lease and you're modding your car?

 

yall should be thankful some company is even bothering trying to get a tuner together for the 2.2L. there's no guarentee that ANY aftermarket will come out for a car. it's not like there's a rule that states Z company must make a tuner for Y car in X ammount of months. crying about it won't speed up the process.

 

I agree 100%

 

well see what happens. all the mods im really doing are bolt on so i can just take em off. no big deal. my dealer doesnt care. i could even return it with the mods on....yeah awesome dealer...but ill take em off..would take to long to take out.

 

not to rain on anyones parade...yes we all want the tuning to be done but at the same time how many of us are going to put a turbo on our car right off the bat bc of the amount of money its going to cost??also wouldnt this void warranty on the car?? and if we do have the money for the turbo maybe you would of been better off just starting out with an ss/sc...dont get me wrong I want the tuning to be available too bc I have a 2.2 and would love to do engine work but...in the future... but it will be a good while before a turbo goes onto my car especially if it voids warranty and for the money its going to cost....know what I mean lol

 

my gf actually drives a cobalt. i was planning on buying her that blower kit from GM. obviously i have to wait for tuning to become available. it's not like she NEEDS it or anything. so i'll just sit back and wait.

 

I just wanted to qoute this. Me specifically. Those that know me, know why.

Anyway, the Tune Time Performance work on the E16 ECM seems to be quite limited. They are advertising a single flash program designed to work with your stock engine. I have emailed them asking about a forced induction application and have not recieved any reply.

 

im for sure getting one...im gonna have this car for 5 more years...and i need those years to be fun
its gonna be around 4k....i plan on spending 6k throughout my 5 years...my car is the only thing i spend any money on...have nothing else to spend on....i have a job (next week) and no monthly payments on anything...

 

i plan keeping this car til it breaks down b/c i freaking LOVE these cars. i almost have an orgasm every time i see the rear end of my car. (now debadged so looks better)

so if they dont come out with tuning, yeah i'm gonna be pissed, because i will be limited to what i can do...but i dont plan on running 13 second 1/4 miles..yeah i like tuning but fast to me would be running like 9.5 in the 1/8 mile, thats my goal. this car is faster than any car i've owned(92 dodge stealth es - 222 hp...still not as fast, 05 cobalt ls ATX,93 honda civic ex, ford focus zx3)

 

im going to order the tune time performance pcm b4 the end of the year...im just looking for a tune for intake,exhaust,header and my ported tb....and ive talked to them and they said on a basic engine it will be 12-14fwhp....other mods will just increase it some...so n/a is the way im going to till by then im sure hahn will have their turbo kits out for the 2.2 and im going to get one along with fuel upgrades and forged internals

 

I've heard from HPTuners....spring time. -claps hands- I lost 15mpg due to being untune. I can handle 8 with being fully bolted, but 15.

COME ON HPTUNERS! We know you can do it!

edit- Heard if from a guy I know with a Camaro who talked to the guy in the above post.

 

Megasquirt and Spark them things!

AEM EMS universal standalone
Haltech
There are a bunch of standalone ems systems. Someone needs to get brave

 

where the hell u been ERic lol

 

I did my part with the SAFC-II. Be awhile until I am the first for something again.

And I've been busy.

 

15?
i run 20mpg as is....if i got 15 les...hell 5mpg..a H1...even a military issue Humvee would get better mileage than me

 

You don't understand. Several race cars have already built engines with stand alone systems that work great. The problem is they are not street friendly. Yes, a stand alone can successfully run the engine on a street car. However, our ECM our tightly integrated with other vehicle systems besides just fuel and ingnition. If you by-pass the ECM for a stand alone, the power steering, cruise control, and instrument panel become inoperative. And if you have an automatic, your trans stops working too.

 

I lost a total of 15. I got around 40...I/E went to 35...H it jumped to 25. Untuned sucks!

All the same driving. But I'm finally above 30 shifting early and not going above 55.

 

eric i got intake/exhaust and im still getting 35-40mpg on high and like 27-30 in the city lol

 

Wait until you go with a race header.
