Hey Im bored and i was think when ill get my cobalt ss 2.4Lthis summer they comes stock at 171hp

lets say i change intake downpipe cat back header and maybe cams would i be hitting the 230hp ?

just a guess cause i want to get the most out of it n/a and im not planning of putting 10k in it there reasable daily driver with some nice feedback

no SC no TC n/a FTW

tell me what you guys think

WHP? No.... 2.4's make like 155 whp stock so... yeah. SS/SC's nearly make 230 whp stock and stage 2 will get you over that, so why the hating on FI?

CinciSS07

not even close buddy. 171 is at the crank, not wheel, understand that. the only way i know of to reach 230 hp on a 2.4 is to turbo it, but i know you dont want to go f/i. i dont really know much about building the motor, but still, 230 is a stretch

CobaltTuner1223

when they say 171 its a the wheel well im a noob haha well from 171 with intake dp headers and maybe cams with a tune what you think i would be at

CinciSS07

sorry edited that haha. im tired. anyway, im not sure what you would be looking at, but i dont think anywhere near 230, but i could be wrong

CobaltTuner1223

no hating on FI there really fun to drive but i want to know if 2.4 where good just motor just basic would it b a gain i will really notice or its gonna be like meh.
I just want a fun little fast car lol cause can tell money wise not so much for me lol

CinciSS07

wherever that quote went from acey, dude where are you getting your facts from, the ss/sc comes stock with 205 to the CRANK, where the hell did you get 230 stock wheel? anyway that is irrelevant, good luck finding your answer, im not sure. just go turbo

Well I dunno you sound pretty young so a manual 2.4 with just exhaust/intake is going to be pretty quick, look good, and you'll get noticed... it'll be a fun car.

From people on this forum who have dynoed their SS/SC's at 210-220 whp STOCK. And yeah my post didn't make much sense I meant that SS/SC + stg2 would put you over 230... but I think I said "nearly" 230 stock, didn't I?

No they don't

They make about 210-215whp

Well ill get the car i was think getting the konig strut with eibach sportlines then maybe find a nice carbon fiber hood i said maybe lol get somme 17 with low profile then get full bolts on. Im so bored i cant wait to have it and start but **** on cause it gonna be my first car tuning so thats why i dont wanna go big with the IF right now.


first car i had was a suzuki sidekick lol i was doing 136km/h maxium

so i got a 2.2 cavalier... i hate it

so im selling the cav and getting a cobalt

I meant "nearly" in the sense that he wants to be making 200+ an SS/SC is the way to go, and yes "nearly" was a poor word to imply +/- 20 hp... muh bad.

this is why i love V8's a cam Nad heads and your looking at 150 + HP. i love my 2.4 but youd think cams and full exhaust would get youmore than 50 HP+

Two things: stop lol'ing, and 2.4's come stock with 17's so blah unless you don't like the stockers I wouldn't buy another set of 17"

Also if your Cav is an Ecotec you could S/C that and save a lot of money and make decent numbers... I would do the same but I don't really trust my LD9 to not blow up.

CobaltTuner1223

sorry habit of doing lol in my setence and well the stocker are not what im looking for in the look maybe keep them and paint them like black or something i dont know

by the way my cav is 1997 2.2 its not even DOHC

Acey

iTrader: (3)

Kay yeah the 2200 is hopeless don't bother with it, and yeah the SS wheels painted black look pretty hot.

CobaltTuner1223

The thing that is pissing me off the most is i look at my friends and they all have they nice cars... and im stuck with a piece of **** and i was think of getting a cobalt 2.4 maybe i could keep up with them more then the cav thats for sure


by the way they have

99 eclipse gst 14b turbo i wont be close to that i know

other friend has a 2002 si civic hatch

has rsx types

nother has a civic with b20vtec supercharge

intregra b18 turboed

eagle talon awd t25

3000gt non turbo

infinity g35

thats the cars i see at school everyday =( i want to have a nice car to but i dont think a cobalt 2.4 can keep up with any of does cars right?

3000gt non turbo is not a nice car

CobaltTuner1223

hehe yeah some guy at my school has the z24 and his like a some headers on it who wants ro race for 200$ im like in my head wow that really bad he thinks his all that with is header. think he can beat that civic supercharge. it funny cause everybody laugh at him

Acey

I don't like Civics nor RSX's so I wouldn't consider that stuff special. And yeah not many high school kids drive Infiniti G35's. That's more of a muture car if ya know what I mean.

That Z24 guy is worthless.... picking a race with a 100 whp guy. I actually don't mind my motor though... and the 95-99 Z24's aren't bad looking cars IMO. Satisfactory till I can get into a Balt.

REIGN SS

*slams head into desk*

CobaltTuner1223

yeah i know what you mean but mommy and daddy bought that car for the kid it was that or a 350z like wtf who has that for there first car

You should see at my school there honda is like a ferrarie for them if it has a k20 or h22 or a b16 b18 whatever it is there freak out then there like v-tec this v-tec that... its horrible

Two of my friends at school have red Preludes and they're both nice guys with solid cars. "Ferrarie" sounds like Barbie's sister.

to get that hp out of the 2.4 n/a it would cost you more than turboing it.

Dunkinuts

you can to get those number at the wheels you will need a lot of work a short off the top of head list is as follows


JBP Stage 2 heads
JBP Cams
SLP header/downpipe combo
SLP cat back
K&N short ram
RK sport ram air hood
HPTuner ecu tune (best option) or vector custom or Jet stage 2 "canned" tune if you get the Jet ecu module then get there MAF sensor as well


and then maybe you could come close to make those numbers. maybe crank hp easy with that but wheel hp is a maybe. this is along the lines of what i am planning on doing in the next couple years as money allows
