Hey i have a 09 ls 2.2 xfe model.
I'm planing on turboing it by may or june. I have found zz stage kit , atp gt30r kit any others out there. I tryed hahn but they have no answers. I also looking in to vulcan intake manifold and rd fab one. i want some info on peoples ideas. i not playing around I have 2-3 months tell show sason and about $10,000 to spend i already have stage 2 kw coilovers and rksport frt bumper . I'm also looking at either 17 or 18 rotas or koing rims.
ok guys spell ur guts on the good , the bad and ugly. Im making one nasty cobalt help find the goodys

 

U gonna build ur engine?

 

if its a show car..get the stuff and bolt it on..doesnt need to run to look pretty..but if your planning on actually driving the hell out of it put the money into the bottom end..that would also make your engine build list more impressive to spectators seeing the time put into the whole car not just the looks

imho if a show car doesnt run as well as it looks...its just as impressive as winning bronze in the special olympics

 

Im not sure i understand. If you found the parts you want, then buy them.


Whos building your motor?

 

if you have 10k to blow... why the hell did you buy a 2.2?? and dont use rota wheels.... they suck

 

bwahaha, rotas suck? whatever. theyre a perfectley fine wheel.


but i agree on the " why the **** did you but a 2.2 xfe?" part

 

Rota has come a long way and is actually a decent name now.

 

you mean rotas dont shatter when you hit a bump or pothole now? in that case ok

 

no lol. theyre a great wheel

 

haha ok, i will insert my foot in mouth now... last i heard about them they were breaking (why i didnt buy any)

 

nope. they had a few issues. but every company does. theyre a legit wheel, that look awesome. dont hesitate to buy them at all if you see a nice set! Ill be rocking some on the civic soon.

 

ok guys i picked the 2.2xfe because i blew the motor up in my 05 sti last summer. I need wheels and i got it new for $11,000. I got the sti back up running and now my friends dad shop is going to use it as a time attack car. I dont feel like buying another car so im going to play with my balt.

I want do some bolt ons and other goodys this summer so i can go to shows with it. NOT SHOW CAR just one to take to have fun with. In the fall I'm going to have a 2.2 motor built and put at least a gt30r on it. I want ideas and what compaies you guys like using.

As for the wheels I said rota and konig because one of my sponsors for the sti can give a set for free for the cobalt .
