Turbo or Supercharger for 2.2 Liter Cobalt LS

Hey guys i just bought a 2005 chevy cobalt and its pretty awesome, but i was wondering if anybody knew if there was anything i could do to make it go faster besides getting a cold air intake which i already have, but i was wondering if anybody knew if somebody makes a supercharger or turbo kit, for the cobalt LS 2.2 Liter

I've heard the 2.2L is a shitty motor that you cant build on it too much. id like to put a 350 in a cobalt that would be the shit

lol can you say dumb ass! Turbonetics!

sorry, but that is a pretty dumb ass thing to say. you do realize what the 350 means in 350 right? even if you could install an engine that big into a little tin can like that, it would rip it to pieces. but about the turbos and sc's. there was a site but it was said that the place went out of business, and depending on the stage for sc's you can find some entry levels on andysautosport.com

yo man i think you are going in the right direction man just stick with American muscle not no pussy ricer shit. I have a cobalt and i have an 2003 cobra you pick one 400HP or 145HP cobalt with turbo 170HP maybe cobra with supercharger upgrade and new pulleys 520HP. remember there is no replacement for displacement you bunch of ricer loving pussies.

oh yea and do u know what a 350 is no you don't so such your mouth!

Actually a 350 in a Cobalt isn't such a dumb ass idea, We had a 1997 Geo Metro...YES GEO METRO with a 600 HP GM Small block that was completely streetable!!!! I have a friend who puts 350's in little BMW's ALL THE TIME!!! So dont rule that idea out!!! I think I'd be AWESOME, In Fact I think I'll try it out just to show you what a DumbAss will look like with a Cobalt 350 ripping down the street!!!

Careful who ya pick you race with...My GM boys are running over 1300 HP out of that Ecotec motor!!! YES 1300 DYNO'd HP...so much for displacement... You can BOLT ON HP to that cobalt fairly easily..I was in one that had 285 HP with the basic kit...and weighs a bit less that the Cobras...AND I know there is a package that will run over 400HP..All under warranty!!!

wow my cobalts got 360hp so u can all just be quite

well t-bag, i am a chevy man and its just preference i guess. i have a 98 trans am with a custom turbo so i know what you mean about crazy power but for an every day driver i prefer the cobalt and when i would want to kick your ass on the street, i would pull out my big toy. but for now my babys the cobalt.

lol, i actually saw someone do that once with a metro, if you lived in la i would have thought it was you but yeah they dropped a v-8 in the little thing but it was a death trap pretty much. sounded killer too

hey the one that said you have 285hp from your cobalt. is that the ls or ss model. i have the ls ive got low budget bolt ons.(cold air intake, headers, cat back exhaust) how did you get yours to push that many hp. Turbo kit? and if so where can i get one around 2 grand that has a decent size turbo. the garret turbo kit is like 3200 for the tuner package and i want a bigger turbo than what they offer. im sure its not too big. any suggestions please email me theoneandonlybs@yahoo.com

www.alpine-developments.us has turbo charger kits that wheel put your cobalt at 212hp at the ground

www.alpine developments.us has turbo kits that will put 212hp at the wheels and it is specially made for the cobalt and it is pre programmed

i want it to sound alot better then it already does and i wnat to beat the guys who says chevy sucks....

Just wanted to say that yes there are upgrades for 2.2L depanding on the year of the engine.. i recently got Stage 2 Supercharger 05 Sunfire it run's like a champ. And also nothing wrong with ricers especailly when it comes to performace light weight, aro din., come in handy also do alot more. i love my muscle cars but never under estimate when a ricer pulls beside you.....

Well some might say that the 2.2l ecotech motor is weak, but I have news for you!
If you talk or search for the GM performance build book for the ecotec, it wil answer all of your questions! It has a detailed parts list to get your 2.2l up to 1400 HP!!!!!!!!!!
The drag cobalt just beat the record with a 7.92 1/4 mile time, pushig a 1250 HP motor with around 800 ftlbs of torque!

There are also turbo kits out. Right now garrett has one out, and soon hahn racecraft will to!
