Alright my fellow enthusiast!
I am in need of some information, everything is outdated and I’ve been going through days of forums.
I have a l61 2.2 (1st gen)
right now everything is stock for the internals, of course (it can’t be tuned)
that being said I plan on attempting multiple different methods to allow a tune for the 06.
the last gen Cavalier( 03-05)used a l61 2.2 (86mm bore heads) I can’t remember the other specs but they are the same for my 06.
I’m currently looking into a complete rewire from the cobalt wiring to a cavalier, I don’t know if this is possible but it is just an idea rn.
my plan is a full standalone ATM.
my goal for the car is push as much hp until it blows(I don’t want it to blow, but you gotta set the bar somewhere😂
I need updated links for pistons, rods, injectors, and so much more for the l61.
Ive been looking into cavalier turbo builds and I have seen that 2.2 cavalier can push A LOT more than most think, I’m wanting to use the cavs upgrades for the cobalt.
im looking for real advice, many people said the manual swap wasn’t worth it, but i would do it 10x over.
help me get this 06 (not tunable) cobalt to 400 hp🤙
but fr, I’m prepared to blow it and rebuild it.
Hopefully there are some cobalt, cavalier nerds out here, I’m trying😂 This is what she looks like rn. She’s bone stock motor, I plan on posting as I build.
Was planning on similar with my 04 Ion soon. But lost the car (along with 2 others) to a building fire this week.
Ions arent tunable either, but was going to try to see how far I could push it without a standalone, afpr and swapping to a return style fuel system. I had a small advantage though with having an IAT sensor vs the maf sensor
