ok so i have a base model balt and im not sure where to start on mods perferably engine mods... any suggestions any1

 

Not being an ass..but get a ss/tc, or atleast a ss/sc. Then start there

 

i was gunna just build this one up so i get the knowledge

 

How much power do you want to make / how fast do you wanna go? You can make a base model fast but the question is, should you?

 

well i got the injen cold air and i wanna do a sc but everyone tells me a tc is better but i know a sc is healthier... im not lookin to have the fastest car but not the slowest im thinkin like 250whp-350whp......i got the 2.2l

 

Getting to 350 will be a lot more than getting to 250. Not sure 350 on your motor is "healthy"...i may be wrong here but youd prob need some internals if you're going that high on a base model.

 

oh yea for sure my plan is to buy a junk motor get it 30 over and rebuild it completely ...but after tht im not sure what to do

 

Since it is a base model I would start with appearance mods overall they will be cheaper. It is going to take a pretty good amount of money to get it to that power level. Get some SS bumpers (please no badges though lol) and maybe some retro headlights, tint, debadge, rims and lower. It will look pretty sweet then. I have a similar discussion with my fiancee who has a v6 05 mustang. She keeps wanting to do power mods but like I tell her she wont see a big enough benefit with just 2-300 every now and then but she could see a huge benefit out of that money in appearance.

 

yea top swap for a sc, ppl selling them all day on here, u need a few things but its not that bad

 

the only badges i have are my bow ties....im not one of them dicks that dont have respect for the ss guys i just need some more engine know how and im a chevy guy so i picked a cobalt...plus i just had a z26 berretta

 

Well if your goal is 300+ hp the only real way to go if a full internal build + turbo. It's very difficult to pull 300 hp on a m62 2.2. Turbo would probably be a safer build plus you could always turn up the boost to make even more power in the future

 

boost then looks

 

a boost kit will run me around what $2000?

 

+internals and youre looking probably closer to double that I would think

 

sounds like a tax return job to me haha lol

 

rods and pistons and zzp turbo kit
