If you are looking for the 2.4 DP, I have my Stock one in the garage. Everything included downpipe back (except the exhaust tip because I put that back on my custom exhaust)

 

Nitrous or weight reduction. Take out all seats but yours, the carpet, everything in the trunk, spare tire, lose some weight yourself if it's there to lose, everything in your glove box, your glove box, the rear view mirror, the antenna, take off the wing if you got one, cut some holes if your rear bumper like Honda owners do, the radio, airbags, headliner, door panels, light bulbs it's ok put them back in at night, empty out the windshield washer fluid, take out the ac, and only drive around with a couple gallons of gas. Ok your faster now for little to no monies........happy? Ok now pay to play.

 

how much for that dp and its 2.5?

 

how much you wanna sell it for

 

Just slam it and ride low and slow and save up for a ss turbocharged...

The mechanic isnt going to check if you tuned you vehicle.

 

And the 2.2l LAPs have the same intake mani as the 2.4's FYI.....basically a waste of money. Unless you have the L61

 

You sure about that?

 

Yes, I looked into it before

 

stay auto and if u really want power just boost it. be original lol
im auto and goin boost soon but thats just what i would do

 

Thats for sure. Looking into boostin myself. Just looking for the right one. WHo are you going with?

 

^^u talkin to me?

 

Yea

 

o ok my bad
well im goin with whoever sells a used kit off here for cheaper lol
im in college so i cant afford a new kit at the moment

 

AHH. i SEE. iM GOING NEW. i DONT REALLY TRUST USED STUFF LIKE THAT.

 

yea i hear ya to each their own

 

True that. Just slam it make it your cool daily driver till it's paid off and then shoot for the moon. You'll already have thus car paid off to drive around and your 2nd car to play with.

 

What exactly are you looking at doing with your car, and when you say 'cheap' what do you mean? What is your budget? I know that there are some people that would argue with me about this, but Just buy an upper motor mount. Will take you 20 minutes to install and while it won't 'gain' you any horsepower, a little more of the horsepower you do have will make it to your wheels. You will definitely feel a difference.
Then start building up your suspension. You can do your suspension one thing at a time. and you will feel a big improvement in handling With every upgrade.

Let us know what you are actually, realistically, looking at doing. Tranny swap? I am pretty sure it's been done to a cobalt before but you are going to be in a world of hurt. Money and labor wise it will not be worth it. But to each his own! I'll stop talking about that now!

As for turbo or supercharging? It's been proven many many times that this is a surefire way to get huge gains for relatively little money. The builds are relatively simple and you can get over 200 horse for less than 2000 dollars.

So long story short, my first suggestion would be Motor mount. Do it.

 

rotated trans mounts are better than motor mount

 

And cheaper too, good point. Little more time consuming to install, but not difficult at all...
