Engine work due to turbo?

[noshun]

the 16g is said to be a good snail. i was referring to the compression ration merely to point out the need for proper tuning as the risk of detonation will rise. beside the stock rods in your motor would most liekly be of better quality than a ecotec, the 2.2 ecotec wasn't really built for performance hence the motor that goes in the ss s/c and the soltice gxps and the saab 9-3 turbo's etc etc etc is a destroked 2.2 with forged internals. people always ask why wouldn't gm boost the 2.2 without realising why essentially the same motor with the same bore has 200cc less. i would definitely build an ecotec for boost, even my motor with only 40,000 miles on it

wait wait wait! i know you guy are fighting weather its safe or not, but all threds ive looked at and everyone ive talked to have said that a kit on a stock 2.2 is safe.( the kit is a hahn racecraft) im not pushing this kit for crazy perfomance untill i get the bottom end up to speed and mostly forged so. from what im seeing recently im buy and installing the kit. (i talked to the guys at hahn and they say ill be fine) and im working on the engine after so i see none of my rods going any where.

yeah you may be fine.

as mentioned i know a guy who had the hahn stage 2 and he sold the car on it's 3rd motor. too many issues despite hahn's excellent service

So is hahn the best turbo kit for a j-Body? How much is it and how much horsepower will you get?

[PsychoJJ]

Yes...alot....and alot.

Can you type out some numbers?

with a hahn stage 2 for a 2.2l(2200) will get about an added 70 whp gain for the eco u might get a 100 whp gain at the 8psi range, but like schister66 said u relly cant base a psi ratio to a car hes right about that u have to with the trim size to determine a safe boost for a stock car or any car for that matter ya just dont wanna go and jump into things to quickle do a little reserch on your car and boosting before hand. Better safe than sorry
