What would you consider full bolt ons for the 2.2L.
Talking specifically the 2.2 LAP.

(Did use the search button has to many old threads and rather not dig up and old one.)

I also had the question since i don't see it any where would upgrading the injectors gave any kind of hp/trq difference and if so which ones and what other things should be upgraded to accompany them.

Thanks for looking.

Hmm downpipe,header,catback, possibly the 2.4 tb, intake, and a tune.
You don't need bigger injectors unless yours are maxed which they aren't.

I'm thinking about running e85 after getting some head work done.

There really isn't any point running E85 without boost. I think I'm going SC this summer

chevygirl2006

Then ya you could upgrade injectors.

But I don't think I've seen any na cars run e85 without boost

intake + exhaust

I really wanna see the difference between running E85 on a na car with some head work done and the poping some bigger injectors and then saving for the pistons and so on and so forth.

Everyone says it won't give much of a difference but yet i've seen no proof of just a little difference or a big difference.

I was wondering the same things you are. But I'm just gonna turbo next year lol

Dark Cobaltz

Yeh, going boosted is like the only thing people say to do now, fk it I wanna have fun with NA for a while.

Yea I tried that but im still too slow so boost is where im leaning towards Lol

chevygirl2006

Ya I tried NA too in my 2.4 and its still slow.

the only way you can truly have fun with an N/A car is getting a good suspension and doing autox or something with turns. n/a is slow in a straight line, but at least turns are fun

Idk why anyone would want to mess around with na lol. My TVS on 2.9 that was around 300whp was slow

09CobaltSport

^ this. i don't exactly have thousands of dollars and the time to install a turbo kit, plus i'm afraid i'd **** it up. so i've accepted the fact that i'll be slow in a straight line and have put my resources into making it go around turns fast. i think that's a whole lot more fun anyway.

LOL just buy a car with boost and stop all the bitching XD

Full bolt ons on a 2.2 are a header, exhaust, 2.4 intake manifold, 2.4/lsj throttle body, lightweight pullies, should yield you around the 170whp range.

chevygirl2006

I wouldn't mess with lightweight pullies. Nothing but bad reviews. 170whp is 2.4 power, not 2.2. Some guy on the sight dynod his fully bolted and tuned 2.2 and only got about 150-155whp

I saw a youtube vid of a guy in a 2.2 na with stage 2 cams and full bolt ons do 14.6 1/4 mile. Id say thats some what fat for na.

Its not bad for being NA.

Bolt on MANUAL 2.2/2.4 will do high 14s

chevygirl2006

There's nothing good about 14s lol
