Intake, 2.4 Manifold, 2.4 TB, Stage 2 Cams, Underdrive Pulley, Header, Downpipe, Exhaust, Tune....whats the whp lookin? O yeah and after seeing nawes cobalt...what other mods can you do performance wise to increase the hp....besides turbo,sc,n20....flamers not welcomed!

 

bout 190 prolly

 

I say 175whp.

 

so were gonna say like 190 throw a 35 sniper shot on which would bring you to 225 walkin stock ss's? btw anybody viewin if u can point me into direction to a member who custom turboed their car much appreciated!

 

port the head

 

do some block work...larger displacement and then some head work to accompany that.

 

that would bring you to 225 crank. probably 200-210 whp

 

so in all reality slappin a turbo would be alot more cost effective?

 

yeah man

 

very much so

as far as hp youll probly be sitting at about 175whp

for more power, fhave head, port polish, custom intake mani, port/polish tb, increased valve size, adjustable cam gears, built valve train, 5 angle valve job, bore out cyl, higher compression

after that and a lil more im hoping for high high 200's whp, and it will happen

im about to do the whole head, intake mani, and tb, should be about 22-240whp when tuned and done
stg 2 ss/sc here i come

 

my eventual plan is to get a zzp turbo kit, and then replace the rods when i decide it's time to up the boost.

from the point i'm at, it's either spend over a g for what 10-20 more hp, or spend 2g's for 60-100 more hp.

 

but stomping ss/sc stg 2's all motor is cooler

 

what do you mean by custom turbo'd? i may be able to answer questions if you have any

 

okay well my dad always drove v8's even my first car was a 305 and i did a few things... so this 4cyl turbo thing is new to me. I dont know how to piece together a turbo. isnt the saab turbo totally swappable considerin its gm on a ecotech?

 

thats one i have no clue, ive never touched a saab, researched a saab, never done anything that has to do with a saab lol.

 

yes the saab turbo mani works on our car, don't see why you couldn't at least use the turbo from a saab and the mani. although, i'd suggest going 16g turbo. will give ya great low-mid rpm's.

 

idk man iam trying to see where the turbo thing goes but it seems so confusing i feel like every parts is gonna have to be rigged ti fix. I like the whole bolt on concept cause i kow its gonna fit

 

you have to modify the intake mani from what i hear...

 

modify the intake manifold if you custom turbocharge?

 

i heard it has to be modified to work on our cars at all

 

someone lied to you buddy. i didnt even have to touch my intake manifold except to attach the pipe and coupler to it

 

hmmm...

 

who told you that you had to?

 

nwae if i may ask how much money have you put into your engine, and whats the whp? and btw isnt nitrous safer then turbo since turbo is boosting the engine all the time and nitrous is only strain when used? just throwing it out there )

 

lemme take a look..
Total spent: $5,144.00

Engine mods: $1,940.00
Suspension mods: $525.00
Outside: $914.00
Interior: $1,415.00
Stereo: $350.00


but i have gotten GREAT deals on my stuff...and im about to drop 2k more into it

and i was at 180whp with a really bad afr - so now fixed we estimate 190-200
