Does anyone else feel like the 2.2L, but LAP's in particular, are being left out? What i mean is you dont really see a lot of parts for 2.2l. yea they are mostly interchangeable but i fee like there are more parts being labeled towards the 2.4 and the 2.0s which is understandable seeing those are all considered super sport. Just something that popped into my mind when looking around at parts and seeing if anyone has built up a LAP. Any reason to why we're being "left out". Maybe im looking in the wrong places for parts? Thoughts?

 

the ls lt and xfe are meant for fuel economy. the ss is a tuner type, not bashing you or anything but there just isnt as much aftermarket for the 2.2L

 

idk what you expect?

Bolt ons, tunes, turbo and S/C kits, and nitrous are available.

The only thing would be cams that arent available.

 

i wants cams for the LAP.

 

yea i guess i see where everyone is coming from. maybe if some of our lovely vendors see this they get some inspiration! haha

 

You have to dig around for the N/A Eco's performance information - Ecotec forum and such. Some of the 2.4 stuff will bolt up; if you're starting with the base stuff, sometimes you have to get real creative!

What exactly about the cams that won't bolt up with the 2.4? I'm not that familiar with the LAP - are they that radical that the cams can't be finagled?

 

somebody tried it and blew the motor. Cam probably didnt cause trouble, more like timing or something

 

i just want some more power till i get the money for the supra

 

i think le5 cams work cause the head is the same i was thinking the zzp le5 cams would work
it would be sick if sumone did individual throttle bodies

 

true dat

 

Comp Cams makes a stage one and two for the 2.2....... theres a dude on youtube that has the set up i think his name is tom? just check it out..... my thing is if your gonna spend enough to buy cams get them installed ( because they are a bitch to do yourself) and then play with some of your internals to make it work why not slap on a super or turbo charged kit and get yourself some forced induction just my two cents but to each their own i geuss

 

yea my next motor mod is rods and pistons. then i have to worry about the transmission tho right?

 

Comp cam will work for the 2.2l, but u need to press the cam sensor into the new cam.

 

If u don't push a lot of psi's then your Tranny will hold up. Are u auto or manual

 

manual

 

Oh u should be good I heard those trannys are good

 

yea thats a good idea before you think of a cam start that and your heads and start crankin out some more psi and throw the cam in for some added fun lol

 

ill probably just increase boost a few psi then add cams, cams and forced induction will some good power

 

i just sc'd my LAP shes a beast now lol

 

i hope the vendors start makeing more lap parts

cammed 2.2 cobalt 1/4 mile 5-14-11 - YouTube

 

bump

 

plenty of options to make good power

 

hate when people make a pass driving like they're thuggin down main street listenin to lil wayne

 

actually they do have cams for the 2.2 stage 1 2 3 turbo or blower setups i have found

 

Not for the LAP. VVT = no cams available.

MIGHT be possible to use ZZP LE5 cams on the LAP since the heads (and maybe cams) are identical.
