How much horsepower can a 2.2 handle, Like trans, clutch, axles, what is the max i can do?

 

the drive line is very similar to the older 2.2 cavys.... with the GMPP supercharger, they pt down like 200whp.

so.... about that much

 

what would i need to do to stregthen it up?

 

good luck i killed my trans bone stock 145hp shot the diff out the case..

 

Unless you go f/i, you shouldn't have to worry about it.

 

400 whp at the Steering Column. with the Flux Capacitor

 

can get as much power as you have money for

 

Well, you can as YellowLT said, get a flux capacitor, buy an SS/SC, or don't live in kentcuky, and you should be good to go!

lol, j/k, just get that tranny beefed up, or switch it out if you want serious HP. But there are cheaper ways of getting a faster car, make it lighter!

 

I wouldnt push the stock rods past 230 to be safe. Block is good till like 800, crank is 400 if i remember correctly.

All this is in the build book

I plan on doing a lot of upgrades, im going with a turbo, and im gonna do all the internal component mods, cam shaft and stuff like that. Im looking to get like 300+ horsepower. And i dont wanna trade for an SS SC, because id rather have the Fastest street ls than a mediocre SS SC. But thats just me.

 

well i have you beat so far...lol 06 2.2 LS SC lol do lots and lots of reserch ok plan and right it down.... you will spend less money if it planed and wrote down step by step....

there is a pro and con for every mod.. but if you need any info we will be glad to help..

 

If you're looking for an engine to purchase that already has all the forged internals...I'm selling my engine...

 

Nah, i plan on doing all the work myself, what kinda power did ur cobalt pump out?

What kind of horsepower will i gain from a camshaft? Can i put a camshaft now, and see noticable gains?

 

Mine with the 75 shot was probably right around 200hp probably. With camshaft only, you're looking at 10-15hp with only stage 1. You cannot do any stage higher without some sort of tuning. You're reallying shooting yourself in the foot if you don't have your head ported and polished for that will give you more cfms and more hp.

If you for some reason change your mind, it's still there....

I'm still waiting for someone to beat the 14.6...

 

do none of you know what the build book for the L61 is!!

^ going to be obsolete in about 2 months...

Wait, I take that back, you can still use the info that's in there now, but a new build book is coming very soon.

 

Where can i get my head ported and polished? and how much does that cost? Im new to the whole fixing up car thing. i used to have piece of crap cars.

 

Most if not all machine shops would be able to do it but it's going to cost you a pretty penny. The best thing you could possibly do is buy the Patriot stage 2 head that's fully built for you and ported and polished. Here's a link:

hah...ive asked you so many questions that you havent helped with!! for starters a parts list like Beck has for the 2.4, only i need one for the 2.2 (i know most will carryover, but i need to know what wont)

im doing what you did (only im tuning) and you havent helped at all

 

my bad man ill get one for ya.......

 

hahaha why thankee sir. i spose ive got all the expensive stuff at this point anyway...
well then, quick question....what did you do about the belt? what pulley size are you running? StgII belt work? oi, i have so many questions

 

don't get the patriot head, theres no point right now.

stock cams (and redline) and patriot head do not mix.

 

i thing it a stock belt with the stage 2 pully ill have to check my parts

 

kk get back to me when you do

 

yea in order to use the m62 and not have belt binding or spiping issues you must use the stock belt with the stage 2 pully becouse the stage 2 belt is smaller it binds the dampener..
