why would it be locked?

 

again,.... becauase its a 2.2..

 

dude... read the thread... he is not saying the car is slow compared to the 2.4 or 2.0's he is saying its slow compared to other 2.2's.

basically it would be like you going onto a chevy forum and wondering why your car is so slow compared to other 2.4's and having a corvette guy chime in and saying "cuz its a 4 cylinder" you're not helping.

 

dude, hes right, ive got mine on the bottle and its still slow lol

 

its ok, i bet yours is just as slow too =P its only a 2.4

 

hahahha yea sw4y.... you whoopin on some SS' with that turbo?

 

Why do you guys think i have a 2.4.. i have a 2.2???

see???

 

I have the best looking and fastest 2.2 in this thread.

I also look better than all of you.

/thread

 

well idk maybe its the rims or even the weather but i bought my cobalt a 2005 not even a lt the lowest grade package u can get if uwanna say that on the back of my car it just says cobalt no lt nothing ( but id rather have it liek that) .. automatic .. bought it with 37 k on it already has 52 now still runs so strong .. i only put a air intake on it nothing else and my friend has a pontiac grand am 6 cylinder 3.1 liter and i can take him off the line and in the long run and i can beat pretty much all of my friends cars 4cylinders and even v6's the 3.1 liters at least everythign except there caddilacs lol but i mean even though there the same car u know not evey car will perform exactly the same but .. try getting the rims off and take it in the fall to the track and if ur still getting those times then somethings not right .. or can be the way your driving it who knows could be a few things have u been performign the regular maitence also i mean some people drive there cars and just dont know or just dont care

 

ill tell u one thing man K&N sucks. i got an injen CAI on a buddies car and his runs 16.45 or so. he also recently got a thing for his trans that makes it **** faster.

 

16.45 =\ i cant wait to go to the track i got a suprize for everyone

 

mad mark my manual cobalt runs 15.5 with just a injen CAI and custom made duel exhaust (still useing stock cat back, just hacked off muffler)

 

funny cause the other day i put the intake on my car its a 05 sedan 2.2 .. im on the parkway and this black honda comes up pretty quick so i hit it hes gets up to me then i pull away from him were going i hit about 115 i dont think it was at 120 but idk if its cause the car shifted into o/d at that point but once i hit that last gear it felt like the car just stopped like that was it it was going ne more .. and i dont have rims or ne thing its all stock just the intake , same factory wheels i thinks 15" .. i still blew away the little ex honda but still i got up to 100 pretty quick .. and it looked like it wa still going at a nice pace and then it shifted again and that was it

 

i thought this thread was deleted

 

2.5 60ft....uhhhhhhhhh

 

WHY on earth is this thread still open lmao

 

I have a K&N intake, headers back exhaust, ps headers, and powertech resister chip and I ran a 15.7 with my 2.2l Auto so my only suggestion is to add a few mods

 

Take the chip out. Your car will love you for it.

 

please shoot yourself now.....

 

 

lol your on crack. an intake gives you like 8 hp at the wheels and exhaust gives you like 12. your looking at like 20 max. to the wheels.

 

yeah i know what ur talking about... i tried it again and the torque converter locks in at 106 and doesnt go any faster

 

my car does over 106 in the 1/4

 

lol

On the 2.2 an intake will give more like 5whp and a cat-back more like 8-10 whp. I have a full exhaust and CAI, and I put down 140whp which is about 165 to the crank. Thats 20hp over the factory flywheel rating. I'd highly doubt someone can squeeze 30hp/whp? with just an intake and exhaust.

Thanks again for that, lsj. Its great to see you support us 2.2 guys.
