ok im new to the us let alone cobalts ! i was heavily into tuning my vauxhall (distant relative of cobalt) i would like some one to give me a run down on cobalts cuz i know nothing about them at all ! ie what are they fwd / rwd i know a bit about gm motors we have the 2.2 in the uk we also have the 2.0 but we dont have the 2.4 we have 2.5 and 3.2 v6's insted sorry to seem dumb but like i said ive just mooved to the us from england and really want to get into cobalts.

thanks.

 

The Cobalt is FWD and comes with 3 different engines. The 2.2, the 2.4, and the supercharged 2.0 litre engine. The 2.4 has VVT.

Anything else cause thats kind of a broad question.

 

yeah...just look around the site for questions you might have...just about every topic about the car has a thread.

 

thanks for the help i guess you guys dont get the gm 2.0 turbo then ?

 

we got the 2,0 supercharged

 

ok so whats the max horse power you guys get from the super charged ?

 

stock GM rates it at 205HP 200TQ

 

ok but whats the max you can get from one ?

 

Max? its all dependant on money. It stock sits arround 210 WHP, but is rated @ 205. I am probably sitting arround 270 WHP, but I know others on stock supercharger, are in the 300+ WHP range. max just like any car or setup, is all dependant on how much money you have.

Theres even a twin charge kit for the cobalt, that allows you to have a TURBO and SUPERCHARGER at the same time

 

twin charging is for you want low end power and top end KICK ASS!!! lol

 

thats a broad question too..

how much money do you want to spend?

how much do you want to keep your GM warranty?

a lot of modded SS/SC's on the site see 240-260whp
with mods like GM stage 2, intake, exhaust, downpipe, header, and smaller pulley

when go further with mods like 60lb injectors, 2.5 in pulley ect. some see around 300whp

 

well when it comes to my car money is no object if it needs it it gets it ! in england the 2.2 is really untunable and unreliable we dont get the 2.4 so i have no idea what thats like the 2.0 is a turbo so would behave differently to the supercharged i think im going to have fun picking an engine here lol

has anyone done a v6 transplant or is it not possible ?

 

the v-6's gm offers are slower then the 2.0 supercharged

 

I don't think a V-6 would fit. Then you have the extra weight and not much more performace gain. As for the 2.4 tunes are starting to come out and with simple bolt ons 200 whp is possible and still stay N/A with no spray. I'm looking to get my 2.4 SS sedan in the 14's when I'm all finished with her this summer.

 

they don't offer the 2.4 where he is though..

only 2.0T and 2.2

what is wrong with the 2.0T btw? a lot of ppl wish there cars had turbos

 

They offer the 2.4 in Michigan just not in Europe. Michigan is in the USofA!

I couldn't help it man! LMAO!! Hes here now!

 

lmao WHOOPS!

 

ok thanks for the help so far guys. its looking like it will be a 2.0 supercharged for me im just going to have to get used to things being different lol where i come from the v6 rules lol i hope i can get to gripps with the cobalt here as i was hevily involved in alot of the tunning parts development for the vauxhall vectra in england and who knows hopefully i can use some of my knowledge to unleash some cobalt horses once i get to gripps with them lol

 

V-6's rule? yeah things are waaaay different here! Big Block V-8's my friend are the king of the street and strip here! There are twin turboed twin intercooled big blocks running on pump gas hitting almost 2000 hp on the street here!

 

i know im getting used to things slowly alot is different like the fuel octane for a start in england the norm is 99 octane i will get the hang of things here i learn pretty qwick i just hope i can be of use to the cobalt tunning comunity once ive got my head round the changes.

 

its pretty easy to understand

just by reading up on things you will see

what you like in the car
what mods you can afford and are willing to upgrade
what stupid US road legal standards...IE type of headlights, cats, car to loud, car to low, all that bs

have fun with it!

 

well from what i can tell so far your legalities are no where near as strict as the ones in england lol

 

Now thats true! I've heard their are so many restrictions on modding cars its almost not worth it to try! Your gonna love it here in the states!

 

ohh its worth trying lol nothing more satisfying than getting pulled over and having your car roadside inspected by the ministery of transport and them not finding one thing illigal on it as you pull off under max excelleration (only up to the speed limit of course) waiving goodbye to them and laughing

 

cops are asshats no matter what country you are from. I know in certain states cops can search your car for modded parts, I think its CA, cause they have emissions laws, but most states could care less, and will only pull over your modified civic if the coffee can on the back you use as a muffler is louder then the average jet plane.
