Besides the obvious lack of tuning what problems would i run into with a garret turbo on my auto? prolly not gonna happen just curious.

 

The search button has all the answers! Many many threads about this already dude. Good luck!

 

haha thanks. guees i was jus too lazy to search! lol

 

Turbo's on Auto's are good. Auto's are good for Drag racing... and when your car shifts... you aren't going to dump boost like a manual car. The only thing you would need to worry about, is how strong your tranny is. More than likely, you won't have to worry about that until HIGH hp.

 

if you could get the transmission tuning you would be set. we dont have that, but all that aside. Our transmissions would hold. they are rated to about 240hp so you would be close with a turbo, but you should be ok.

 

so as of now there's no way to tune the auto's tranny for a turbo?

 

nope

 

not the 2.2's

 

people sayin that there might be a turbocharged cobalt coming out next year, IF that was true, would that mean that we could use that turbo?

 

You mean the turbo engine?
The one coming out next year, according to one of the back of my ecotec shirts haha, is a turbo 2.0 Inline 4, LS/LT's are naturally aspirated 2.2's...you still wouldn't have tuning for the motor unless you did a full engine/tranny/ecu swap, which would be very costly..you'd be better off just buying the ss/TC.

 

It will still be an ecotec platform. The turbo/manifold should just swap right over. Tuning the LNF motor itself will be pretty hard for a little while as there's next to nothing going for it electronically. I know alot of the solstice/sky guys are havning a hard time tuning it.

I'm looking into scrapping my s/c setup on my 2.2 and waiting to get my hands on an LNF turbo setup. I would much rather be turbo than s/c and if I can find a good setup in a junkyard or something for cheap I'll deff go that route.
