Ill be more worried bout the shitty clutch. Don't do hard launches on it it should last a lil while haha

 

hes an auto, so he doesnt need to worry about a clutch

 

Who sells clutches for the 2.2? it seems like everywhere I look I only see the ss ones...

 

try the following

th motorsports
turbo tech racing
zzp

they might not list them all but most likely can get them

 

I thought u were auto

 

glowshift.

 

I have glowshift as well.

 

Do u have full exhaust? Seems a little low

 

No it's where the limit of the 2.2/2.4l boost can go on stock internals. I'm running the same boost. I spike at 14 but it'll settle around 12psi.

 

yep. zzp midlength header/dp combo w/ CAT to megan racing cat back.

only on the gm stg 2 pulley currently.

 

I just pieced my own kit together for $2700 canadian and this includes all shipping and border fees aswell

Included in the price is a tune, option b, dual pass, griffin heat exchanger, and all new stainless steel hardware for installation, aem digital wideband gauge and aem digital boost gauge.

There kit is $2200 right? no boost guage, no wideband, smaller heat exchanger, no option b or dual pass endplate.

If you look hard enough the deals can be found.

Would work out alot cheaper for you guys in the states because of cheaper shipping and no border fees

 

See Dave, this is why I plan on driving out to ZZP and letting them install it when I purchase the kit...that way hopefully if there are any issues with parts, they will take care of that for me. Hopefully they tune it well...otherwise I'll have it re-tuned by Vince since I have Trifecta currently.

 

nope! my transmission matches my windows and door locks..... MANUAL! haha

 

I like the no headache idea mike!

 

You wanted to see how we stand right now Dave? I think you'll beat me due to being manual...I might have more work done, but I know I'm not making that much power and down low I really don't have anything. It's more top-end...which makes me wonder how much more top-end I could get with the 2.4 IM and TB I have sitting in storage that I bought from Hoffa.

My car might be just a tad bit quicker than a STOCK 2.2 manual. When I was stock I dyno'ed the car and it had about 112hp and tq...now I think I might be in the low 130's. I'd be happy if I were higher, but I don't really know.

 

Since I did the intakr mani I kinda lost the low end. But yeah I would like to see how our cars compare.

 

What all do you have done now? As you can see in my sig...that is everything I've done.

 

Just the 2.4 intake mani, injen cai (using it as short ram), and tsudo cat-back. Then I have the sportlines I got from you on fe5 shocks and struts with moog endlinks for suspension.... so not much! haha

 

Oh, I guess I forgot the FE5 control arms and Moog endlinks in my sig...that's all that I have for now then.

I will re-do my entire exhaust once I'm SC'ed...I like the sound of my exhaust except that the catless DP makes it raspy under regular acceleration.

I wish I could find a cat-back that was under $400 that sounded nice besides the stock SS cat-back...not sure what to get though. I kind of like the sound of the Vibrant...need to look into the Magnaflow and Borla a little more...might wind up with the GMPP Touring though...last resort is Corsa because of price...I love Corsa and on any V8, it would be my first choice, but not on my Cobalt. Also going to re-do the header/DP later too, but I have a 2.0 Pacesetter header I can use to start with until I can afford a new setup for that.

First things first...save for my SC.

 

Ahhh...hmmm, wonder if my boost will drop 2psi after I get rid of this LSJ manifold/downpipe

 

Your tuner, he is not very skilled. Should have added timing advance in the lower RPMs.

 

touche'.... its the stock tune! haha Im waiting to tune since I have decided im going supercharged.

 

Oh god, I cant imagine how lean you're going on he high end. On the J-bodies we actually max out our 24lb stock injectors with the 2.4 mani.

 

haha im hoping it wont be that way for long..... my car is gonna whine!

 

When do you think you'll have your car done Dave? Like I said, it will probably be about this time next summer when I am able to do this...maybe a little sooner. Would be great if I could get my car COMPLETELY done (all my plans which really aren't that many) by CED next year...and be able to go to CED next year.

My goal is an all around decent car...handle well, decent power, and decent to good gas mileage. Not too much to ask for considering what I've done and plan to do. I know for sure the next car I buy (sports car since this or my Grand Am will be my daily driver still) will have a much better base...RWD or AWD and either V8 or FI...really depends on what I can afford when the time comes...Sky RL, Speed6 or something comparable, S4, Camaro SS or Mustang GT are probably the main cars I'd look at. And of course nothing too new...probably at least 2-3 years old if not more so I can actually afford it.
