so i'm working like a bajillion hours a week, and i've decided that im gonna save up to do WORK on my balt. i have the 2.2 (obv why i posted in this section :P) its an LS and i want it to be fast =)


soooo give me some ideas considering im new to the cobalt scene and don't know much about the engine mods yet

Do you want to stay naturally aspirated or do you want to go forced induction? What's your budget? Any plans on racing?

Since you are working a bajillion hours a week you should be able to afford a SS

budget? also, what do you consider to be "fast"

cobalt123

supercharged build easy to put on but pita to find the parts

whyyoumadson?

most efficient? nitrous /thread

silver06cobalt

I wouldnt call nitrous efficient, maybe the most effective.. but definitely a huge risk when you use it...

budget by spring ill have a decent amount of money + $ from my tax returns so any amount really, well reasonably low like not more then 5 g's lol.

and i may want to race, but i want it to stay my DD too. its probably alot to ask but remember im a naive lil girl :P

whyyoumadson?

nitrous is the most efficient power adder. you cant even argue that. whent tuned properly, nitrous is the biggest bang for the buck

Ryan88924

supercharge or turbo if your talking a couple g's. what do you do for work?

But nitrous is a short term fix.

"I'd race you but i need to stop and fill up my nitrous tank first"

i work at an old ppls home in the office and a bank fulltime, it doesnt sound like much but by spring if i save up most of my money ill have a decent amount

whyyoumadson?

thats why you always keep it full i ran 25+ bottles through my DD within a year

06C0BALT

lol i have access to a kit...

Only a risk if you don't set it up properly.

I would look into a nice turbo setup.

daythecountrydied21

is your car paid off yet

06C0BALT

thought about the turbo just wasnt sure exactly what could be done to a 2.2 lol

turbo it and be done, nitrous is good **** but it runs out quick and there's too much fluctuation in power delivery.

Cobalt Racer

Some basic HP adders:
-cold air intake
-header
-highflow cat
-downpipe
-axle-back pipes
-exhaust
-throttle body and manni swap from a 2.4 for ur 2.2
-tune
-forced induction (turbo/supercharger) around $2k to buy


Tha list can be endless, but those are some to think about. Alot of ppl just throw a CAI and exhaust and call it a day.

Oh...and stickers....they add like 50hp+ per.


Yes - NOS is a quick HP adder, however it's also throw'n money down tha drain everytime u need to refill, and that could costs an infinite amount of green if ur on a set budget.

06C0BALT

lmao.
and yeah i could just add the CAI and a exhaust and call it a day but i wanna kinda do stuff that not many other people have done, which i know would be kinda hard lol

CptTheAlex

Jesus christ, how much did that cost you?

ecotecturbo

Turbo or a supercharger kit and exhaust of course.

06C0BALT

thats what im thinkin =)

1niceLS

Turbo with bolt ons and mounts call it a day

whyyoumadson?

i had a hook up to fill the bottle for $17. so $425 for 25 bottles worth
