Question Turbo questions

2.2L Chevy Cobalt Stage 1 Turbo Kit!

Maximum Boost has finished their new Stage 1 turbo kit for the 2.2L Ecotec Chevy Cobalt. The turbo kit makes approximately 4-5 psi of boost and makes approximately 50 horsepower over stock. It includes a 2 year warranty on the turbo and a 1 year warranty on the turbo manifold. The only item this kit does not include is the down pipe. A flance can be included in the kit for an additional cost which any exhaust shop can weld a pipe onto after the kit is installed.




Components:
- Garrett T3 Turbocharger
-Tial External Wastegate
-Manifold with wastegate welds
-Greddy Type S Blow Off Valve
-Charge Pipes (w/custom welds for blow off valve)
-Oil Feed Kit
-Oil Return Kit
-Vacuum Lines
-Manifold Gasket
-T3 Gasket
-Silicon Boots & Clamps
-Bolts, Nuts, Washers, & Necessary Hardware

The compressor wheel is a T3 60 trim and the compressor housing is a 42ar. The turbine side is a 48ar with a standard T3 flance.

Pricing: $2299.99 + Shipping > $2340 shipped
Pricing (w/ downpipe flange): $2349.99 > $2390 shipped.

This kit will *NOT* throw any codes, check engine lights, or anything of the sort. The piping will include a slot to adapt the air intake sensor.

Once your order is placed, please allow up to 3-4 weeks for delivery because of manufacturing time. We do NOT manufacture these until an order is placed and paid for in full.







Now does anybody think that this setup will bolt up to a 2.4L???

And if not why???

o my freaking god... i hope this is a joke... do NOT get that kit, it's a scam, it's a generic "kit" that is not fitted on a cobalt, and will NOT work... please use the search button and you will see that maximum boost is banned from this site for that reason... frank is a 19 year old kid that "works" out of his basement, and buys the parts off of ebay...

It won't fit any Cobalt. The moron that runs that "company" buys generic pieces off eBay and resells them at a higher price to you. Nothing is custom made, nothing will fit, and everything is made in China, and you're paying a brand name price. Stay away from Maximum Boost.

Nobody that I know of has a prebuilt kit. Your best bet at this time would be to fab one up yourself. Hahn Racecraft will probably be the next "kit" you'll see on the market.

There are no bolt on forced induction kits for the 2.4 as of now. You could piece together parts from an LSJ or GM jbody supercharger upgrade, if you get everything mechanically fabbed to fit, you still would have to tune it yourself.

yeah, ignore the trolls. Anyways, if you're looking to piece together a turbo, theres an ecotec turbo faq on this site and ecotecforums.com with excellent information. A blower would be more work imo but still do-able. Pieces from a spare LSJ or the GM j-body upgrade kit would still be your best route.

Wow, don't read it if you're offended. Not hard.

Searching the terms "2.4L" and "supercharger" on this site tends to bring up quite a number of useless posts.

We gotta local guy here building a custom 2.4L turbo and using an LSJ intake manifold to make it easier to plumb a cooling system. HP tuners is your best bet as far as tuning, and exhaust wise, just about any exhaust manifold should work for ya, unless you have an EGR port on your stocker.

look into a downpipe, catback, and a tune... i wouldn't get an intake or header if you're looking to go forced induction, because they will need to be replaced when you go that route... if you're serious about going that route, i would start preparing... look up celicabolt, i think that's how you spell his name...

lol that's actually really smart. evil, but smart. ^^^^ d4 is right tho. a properly setup turbo kit actually takes far more research and design than you could imagine. sure you could just slap together a turbo that works with the flow characteristics of your engine, but many companies really REALLY know what they are doing and will design a far better product than you could yourself. maximum boost is NOT one of them. Many companies will go through months even years of research and design time before they release their final kit. that is one of the reasons certain companies that are on top cost ALOT more than just building your own kit. it is obviously for profit, and because they can, but they also have to pay for all of their r&d. i beleive there is a garrett kit out for your car isn't there? now, if you could get tuning done (i thought there wasn't anything out for the 2.2's tuning wise, but i may be missing something) that would probably be what you want to go with as garrett makes very high quality stuff. Now if you really want to save money, a few of us could advise you on what kind of turbo to go with, along with other components, and you could get the piping done by a reputable shop and that would probably work out very nicely, but again you will not be able to match the research that companies such as garrett have put in unless you are VERY experienced in the area. PM me if you want some advise on piecing together your own kit, and njhk is also a good guy to talk to.


OHHHHH and for all of you thinking about going turbo. DO NOT i repeat DO NOT go sts. yes, remote mount turbo systems are all right on high displacement motors, but no matter what sts tells you they will lag more than a properly setup conventional system, and will NOT be as efficient. It also puts your turbo at risk along with pretty much every part of your kit. there is too much that can go wrong, if you get rearended, your turbo is toast, and the water problem- although it would be fine to run on a car you seldem even drive in the rain, most of you guys are keeping these cars as a daily driver, and if you accidentally drive through a deep puddle and splash a bunch of water up under you bumper, say BYE BYE turbo. beleive me on this, i did a ton of research on this subject because i was considering it for my car. don't go that way.
