What engine do I have?
Hey guys!
I just bought my new (to me) 2011 cobalt SS with 132,000 miles, now, I can't find any info on it online at all!
The dealer promised me this was the SS version, and it had a "boosted" motor (whatever that means, it did sound good!) so I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction, thx.

I am not a troll! I am taking pictures of the car tomorrow (it rained all day today) and I'll post it, it looks completely clean and like new!
Seriously, I want to know so I can mod the car properly and not blow it up, there's a guy with a speed3 that always made fun of my last car, I want to show him who's boss!

Nope, 2.3T that'll eat up your slowbalt all day any day from a roll or a dig, P.S: We don't ask for 60 rolls 
you're a chevy girl? Does that booty get recalled every week too?
There's a thread where you guys are telling some dude NOT to get an Evo with 36k miles for $20k because you'd rather keep the cobalt... sigh...

Ugh trolls, I don't know why you do this, most here can respect your car especially if it's built. No need to come over and just try to **** of people. Now I'd like to see a link to your build thread now that you've mentioned it.
FYI his is powerful but mainly a track car with a quick spool.

LNF[edit]
Ecotec LNF in a Pontiac Solstice
A turbocharged direct injected (redubbed Spark Ignition Direct Injection) Ecotec was introduced in the 2007 Pontiac Solstice GXP and Saturn Sky Red Line. In these applications, the engine is mounted longitudinally. Displacement is 2.0 L—1,998 cc (121.9 cu in)—with a square 86 millimetres (3.4 in) bore and stroke. Compression is 9.2:1 and maximum boost is 1.4 bar (20.0 psi), delivering 260 hp (190 kW) at 5300 rpm and 260 lb·ft (350 N·m) of torque from 2500 to 5250 rpm. Engine redline is at 6300 rpm and premium fuel is recommended. The sodium filled exhaust valves were based on technology developed for the Corvette V8 powertrains. The sodium fuses and becomes a liquid at idle, which improves conductivity and draws heat away from the valve face and valve guide towards the stem to be cooled by the engine oil circulating in this area. The camshaft-driven direct injection systems pressurizes the fuel to 31 bar (450 psi) at idle, and up to 155 bar (2,250 psi) at wide-open throttle. The "Gen II" block is similar to the 2.4 L and also features VVT technology. The Gen II block was developed using data from racing programs and computer simulations. The bore walls and bulkheads were strengthened with a weight increase of 1 kg (2.5 pounds). The coolant jackets were expanded to improve heat transfer, resulting in a coolant capacity increase of 0.5 liters.
In December 2008, GM released a Turbo Upgrade Kit for the LNF engine which increases horsepower to 290 hp (220 kW) and torque to up to 340 lb·ft (460 N·m), depending on the model. The kit retails for $650 and includes remapped engine calibration and upgraded MAP sensors. The kit is covered by the cars' existing GM warranties.[10]
Unique LNF features[11] include:
a twin-scroll turbocharger
cam-driven high-pressure gasoline direct injection fuel system
dual camshaft continuously variable valve timing
sodium-filled stainless steel Inconel exhaust valves
low-friction cast aluminum pistons with oil squirters
forged steel crankshaft
forged steel connecting rods
cast stainless steel exhaust manifold

I wish you could see my build thread over at MSF, I think you'd tuck that tongue right back in.
