im going to build n turbo soon. im looking to get around 300-350hp. im wondering what all should i do to build it? pistons rods studs head gasket? what compression ratio should i get? is this kit good?

Wiseco Pistons Eagle Rods Ecotec 2.2L 8.9:1 86mm | eBay

also what stage clutch should i run? will stage II+ be fine? or should i run stage 3? any recommendations of brands?

 

that kit is for a 2.2L, but yes pistons and rods and you should easily be able to support up to 400 hp. i would also buy valve springs and retainers to up the redline a bit and make more power. you are also going to need at least 60s for injectors.

 

mine is a 2.2l. as for piston rods valve springs and retainers what brands do you recomend?

 

as for a clutch, this should hold that power level Cobalt & Ion ---> ZZ Performance

why does ur sig say you have a 2009 g5 gt?

 

for valvesprings and retainers go zzp, pistons, either wiseco or JE and for rods eagle are fine

 

i do have a 2009 g5 gt. in 2009 chevy put the 2.2l LAP motor in all the cobalt g5s beside the cobalt SS LNF

 

oh ok gotcha. same parts apply. look on zzperformance website, they also make rods

 

yeah. sometimes id rather just buy a LNF

 

yeah haha thats what i did. sold my 2.2 last december and never looked back

 

haha i just cant find a buyer for mine. i want a sedan too so bad

 

the biggest problem with those 2.2's is the crank..... cast cranks dont hold all that much.... but for the power you are looking for, you might be ok

 

build book says stock can hold 400 i believe. many on here have done that power level with the steel so u should be fine

 

8:9:1 compression, rods, pistons, headstuds, head gasket, rod bearings crank bearings, all new seals, a clutch that can hold more than 350tq preferably 400

 

any body have any internals for sale? im ready to start tearing it apart got my new DD

 

lol u know nothing..out of the 2.2 and u say the crank is weak spot ..thats the strongest part of a 2.2


and ill sell ya a head gasket for 90 bucks and ill meet u somewhere

 

its brand new right kx?

 

Nothing on zz's springs, but I would go Supertech valvesprings.

Super Tech Chevrolet Cavalier - Cobalt Ecotec 75lb Valve Spring/Retainer Kit - Engine Internals - Turbo Tech Racing, LLC

or

Cobalt & Ion ---> ZZ Performance

 

why?

 

what the hell are you talking about. Ive never heard of anyone having an issue with the crank. Sometimes people shouldnt talk out of their ass.

 

Even Ryan@zzp uses Supertech springs in his cobalt, IIRC.. lol

 

anybody selling any internals for the 2.2?

 

bump looking to buy now

 

and one selling any internals

 

my hero^^^

 

Dont listen to this guy... Take it from someone who has a 2.2 in your power goal already...
