i have a 2006 2.2 Cobalt LT 5 speed standerd 2 door. back in the fall i bought a SS 2.0 supercharged motor all wiring harnesses included ect.. for 1000 bucks from a gm sponcerd racing team, cant go wrong AND which now they use turbo engines so they sold them next to nothing... well today i was driving to work and my 2.2 stock motor decided enough is enough and choked and died.... so i need to kno WHAT i need exactly and WHAT to do to make this swap possible... you can go in full detail about this cause these mechanics ive called dont kno **** all about swaps and how to figure out whats compatible or not... one guy said that the SS model has complete diffrent wire harnesses and that im pretty much fucked trying to get the computer to work... another said the tranny wont fit, then another said it would... so i think i will leave this to you guys, the experts. thanks alot

 

Ummm good luck....????

 

To make wiring simple(easier its never simple) just get a standalone EMU.

That should be the one that should click automatically in your head. To be easier on you its easier just to get the whole powertrain and put it in the engine bay and check fitment, etc.

You will most likely have to change mount locations, etc.

IE: Be easier to sell that motor and just build your 2.2.

 

air tools
time
engine lift


also I hope you got the ECU and transmission with the engine as well.

 

get a ls motor for like 500 bucks lol

 

don't get a standalone, i don't know why people are all over it's nuts. Who even makes one for us??! don't throw info out there man because it sounds badass. You can use your information cluster, but an SS one would be better. This is going to take some serious work, it's not a honda...

A standalone can't control enough of the motor to even make it run, unless you're getting the one Area is developing. You are going to need EVERY single component from the SS engine bay, down to the windsheild washer bottle to make it seamless. You already had a manual transmission right?

you could technically use the same axles and hubs, but it would be better to swap to the SS. I am selling my axles, knuckles and hubs, complete with brakes in a few months, you may want to pick them up.

There is a lot more, i suggest you start compiling and add to the first post a list of what you have, and what you think you will need.

 

Damnit i kinda kno i gotta resort to gettin another engine for it but seeing that supercharged engine in y garage gives me a boner everytime... ok.. so if i get another 2.2 can i swap the charger over .. i kno its not easy but can it be done

 

the swap can be done man. Relatively easily if you have a manual already. You will need the brake booster and fluid reservoir as well...

 

mine is a manual

 

stupendous. Now, are you really really serous about this?

Maven is the man to talk to, but you will have to do some of your own research. And you'll need someone with HPT to look through the computer just in case.

 

BTW anyone kno of anyone who Has done this and maybe the complications in detail of the project, and maybe duration lol

 

I have a bad feeling this will end in a massive part out. Sorry, its a time and money consuming project that will be filled with problems.

 

Look thru the l61 section I foget who did it but I know someone did

heres a link

unless your planning to put extra money into this to make it work, i would suggest this: sell the 2.0 motor, use the money to buy s/c kit (piece together), supporting mods and build/fix the 2.2l motor. you'll be happier.

 

good luck...massive build threads are what cobalt ss net is built on...and yes the supercharger install on your 2.2 will be much easier and simpler than trying to install the 2.0

 

no offense but if youre asking those kinda questions maybe its not the best idea for you to take on this project.. just a thought

 

if he's good with his hands and isnt a retard then i say go for it, everyone has to learn sometime and you only learn by trying, a little help is always a good thing to prevent any major accidents but he's asking the right people...your concern is cute tho,,lol

 

im gonna go to the bank and get a loan ... i dont care about money at this point... thing is this engine is a stage three and came from a stock legue racing team they had ten engines for sale because they were goin with the turbos.. buddy said it had 320 hp roughly... i just wanna know what i need...

 

wat.

 

theese guys ^ are right. itll be about 100 times faster and more successful 2 just trade urs 4 a ss/sc car.

 

im not doing this project.. maybe i will take the old one out but i will get my buddy to,, but befor he gets ito it he wants to kno whats compatible or not and what i need... he doesn't want my car at his shop for two months

and is it true i wont have power steering after or is there a adapter harnest or some kinda trick to make that **** work again

 

gurnee hu h

 

i cant trade my car cause its finance thru the bank so i dont even own it unless theres ways around that... but i still owe 8 thousand on it and with the market i probably wouldn't get **** all for it

 

it bolts right up basicly. jsut need ECU trans and know what your doing with wires and misc parts.

 

So no one is curious as to how this guy managed to blow up a 2.2??????

That's what I'm curious to know.......
