A while ago we were gonna come out with a turbo system for the 2.2L & 2.4L. We had a REAL rough mock up system, and it was ok. The turbo we make responds very well for 2.2-2.4L engines like the Cobalt with a short redline. We did not think the demand, at the time, was not there....so we scrapped it. Well, low and behold, anyone looking for this turbo to use as a GREAT power making foundation, we have 5 on the shelf. It is all Turbonetics parts, but custom selected and assembled by us.

In response to the whole bunch of PMs I got, we do not have a kit. The price of $799 is just for the special turbo we built.

PM me if anyone wants the custom blend.

 

I think you guys should keep the Turbos and make kits for our cars. You would be making the Cobalt Community soo much happier.

 

how much is it what kind of boost is it capable of when does it start to spool when does it top out

 

This turbo is good for 300-350HP.

It is not so good in 1st. 2nd gear you will see boost in the high RPMS (2-3 PSI), 3rd boost at 3000 RPMS, 4th 2300 RPMS, 5th 1800 RPMS. This turbo responds very well to the 2.2-2.4Ls and spools up great and packs a lethal punch in the midrange and top end.

The turbo is pretty efficient until about 22 PSI.

Cost will be $799.00

Any more Q's, lemme know.

 

what are you using to tune the setup? what other mods would be needed. is this just the basic system, will i need to get all the plumbing separately?

 

There is no system. We just are selling turbos we spec'd specifically for these cars.

 

there is a high demand for turbo kits on the 2.2, you should keep the turbos and make a kit id buy a complete kit and so would a bunch of other .net users

 

I'm suprise no one asked this question...

What are the specs on the Turbo? Is it T3 flanged?

 

i cant believe they think there is no demand lol these kits would sell like hot cakes if they would finish producing them

 

Damn Striaght they would.

I think they are just lazy...

 

my next question....

 

I also want to know the specs of the turbo. Seems ike it might be a little big if your only getting 2-3 psi in the high RPMs of first gear.

 

Not at all. It's T3 footed. Turbos are load dependent and 1st never has that much load. 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th are your $$ gears.

The turbo is a T3/T4B with our custom blend wheels on it.

 

you should still make the kit...

 

**sneaks in quietly** MAKE THE KIT. lol!

I think you should, since I for one would want to turbo my 2.2 someday, and if you were to make a kit, I may have to bust out the bigger credit card, LOL!!

 

Well if we had a pre-order for the kits, a small down deposit (non-refundable) and a 2.2L or 2.4L in the GA area, we can do it.

 

so how much would a kit cost, how much would the deposit be, and how would you tackle the computer issues

 

there are alot of people that i know that would love to have a kit made for the 2.2 i know i would be very interested

 

i want a kit for the 2.4 yesterday...someone from GA needs to step up

 

how do you have this information if you say you don't have a kit for the car? if you tested it, you must have fabricated something up to run this turbo on the ecotec motor. the main concern for a turbo setup is the problem of dealing with the ecu. if that problem can be solved (and it looks like HPTuners is on their way toward this), then turbo kits will be flying around like intakes.

 

just a thought:
the GM race cobalt was turbocharged and had some ridiculous power. if someone can find out what kind of engine management they used, the information would be extremely helpful to many members here.

 

I believe all of them use Haltech Full Standalone unit. Haltech is an Australian based company.

 

So why has no one contacted them...

 

Cause it's a full standalone unit...

You're talking about taking out the OEM computer and wiring everything back up to the Haltech Unit. Also, full standalone units offer full control over every aspect but usually cost in the range of thousands of dollars. This is why HP Tuners is so useful, you can change whatever you want without taking anything out.

 

Well I guess if the individual was that determined to get blown, then they would find out how much and where to get it...
