i would imagine its a little larger than what you're looking at. and it comes with about 80% of the parts needed.

 

how fast would i be if i did lnf setup with bov? i meen thatd be fast enough till i get internals then get a better setup right?

 

i'm sure you wouldn't have trouble hitting 300?? i'm not too familiar with the strength of the l61 though.

 

try searching around in here though

2.2L L61 Performance Tech - Cobalt SS Network

 

I will man. The l61 is good for 250hp

 

then Jay's lnf setup will more than get you there

 

Alright ill look into it thanks man

 

no problem

 

Talking to a friend .. and .. what if I just got an ebay turbo for time being .. I plan on rebuilding my engine towards end of summer with a way better turbo .. will this work for now

 

any turbo will work. by why spend the money on one you aren't happy with.

 

I just want boost for now that's reliable .. I'm still in high school so cost is a big thing

 

then just wait. cause you won't get out of it what you put into it

 

I'm boosting it one way or another right.now I just need to determine a turbo

 

so you've got everything torn apart and ready to set up??

 

No but I have stared collecting parts

 

then just wait till you find a turbo you'll be happy with.

 

pretty sure im just gonna get the one i had posted pics. it should be plenty enough boost for now.

 

The one that you posted pics will give you a "feelable" gain on the 2.2. Just make sure it's in good condition.

I think you've been talking to my bf BlkWdoSS about the turbo kit we have.

It was on my 2.2 Ion. I noticed a good gain with it and only boosted 5psi.

Personally though if he is asking $300 for that turbo I'd get a different one and you probably would spend less.

Here's one on Ebay for less -- SAAB TD04HL-19T Upgrade 9-3 2.3L 9-5 2.3T Aero B235R B235L B205R Turbo charger | eBay

Then you could get the kit that we are selling and wouldn't take but a day to install it. That's all it took to install it on my car.

 

its a friend im buying off of so i dont mind. so set at 7-10 psi ill notice a big gain on the 2.2 with parts from your turbo kit? it only took you a day? i was planning a whole weekend in may or april

 

that one off ebay looks like a much better buy.

 

ehh.. yea.. but my friend has been saving this for me

 

don't buy something just cause its from a friend lol. especially with car stuff. buy whats right, not whats easy.

 

The only reason I say that you might want to look into other turbos is because that one does not look to be in the best condition, and I wouldn't boost anymore than 7 psi on the 2.2.

The turbo is what will make it to where you notice gains. The kit I have will just make it easy to install.

Personally I'd get a new turbo if I were you. The kit of I have has the exhaust manifold, coolant lines and hoses, intercooler, bov, and piping.

If you know how to set up a turbo kit then it's pretty easy. And yeah the kit that was on my car only took us a day to set up.

You can continue to use your stock intake manifold and run your piping to your throttle body, that's what I did. Others may tell you that you should get a custom intake manifold but for the amount that I was boosting I didn't need it. Once you upgrade your internals and plan on boosting more then you will need a custom intake manifold from rd fabs or etc

connect turbo to exhaust mani
connect exhaust mani to engine
connect turbo to DP (my zzp hi flow dp connected with no modification)
run coolant lines to radiator hoses (which I have in the kit)
run oil line
mount intercooler
run piping

You'll want to get some 42lb injectors as well, and a tune and you're done.

 

i got told 60 ib injectors for what i plan on doing. this is a dd so i want it to be reliable at the same time as boosting up to 10 psi on stock internals. would there be a better way to tell if the turbo is in good condition?

 

klutch boosting not as easy as you thot huh? haha


but i would just collect ALL the parts then do it at once. why rip your car about twice? just save up cash and buy all the internals you want and all the turbo parts you need. then do it once.

OR

just buy that suspension of mine





and maybe by the time you collect all your parts ill know how to tune by then
