It's good to see this working out for everyone. I can't wait to see some 2.4s putting down strong numbers and passes. Keep up the good work guys and good luck with the tuning...

The 2.0L injectors are not directly swapable into the the 2.2L or the 2.4L cobalts. Only when you get the specific harness will the 2.0L directly swap.

Why do you need 44# injectors? The SS/Na has no reason for ones that large! No doubt whoever you are talking to about installing those injectors is under the impression that you have a supercharged SS. Even with the 2.4L running like a Rabid ape on the 34# injectors we are still only seein 76% IDC at WOT in 3rd gear. You do not want 44# injectors, because then your IDC would be around 50%, totally unneccissary.

The idea behind this mod is that it can be done cheaply and the parts are readily available. We all have injectors sitting around, and the harness is cheap, and tuning can be done for cheap on these cars too. It's not intended to be a mod that you take to a professional shop to get butt plunged on $100/hr labor charges and poor advice on injector sizes. It is best as a do-it-yourself project. Save the shop labor for a turbo or something.

Yeah, last I heard, celicacobalt was going turbo. I'd like to, but its a bitch to source everything.

Yo psykostevo, pm me about the tuning again, I should have some injectors by next week.

Now that makes more sense for the 44# injectors. And to get that size you will need bosch style, so splice away!

The Turbo is not as hard as you guys make it out to be. Some of it will have to be custom, but I think the biggest deterant is the high price tag, but then again that type of performance gain is not going to come any cheaper. You could always blow that much on a set of rims and tires.
