performance for 2200 sfi
Monday, August 01, 2011 9:39 PM
ok i understand that the this motor is a small one everyone is going to tell me y spend my time on it but i like the little motor its very reliable. so i was looking to see if anyone could give me some tips in how to make some more power out of it such as bolt on or a turbo. so far i have an intake, headers, and 2 1/4 exhaust with magnaflow cat and obx muffler. i was wondering if there is any pulleys for it or if throttles i have read that the 2.3 throttle fits it if im not mistaking. well thanx hope to hear some feedback.

turbo it, or spray it.

anything else is basically a waste of time.

how much psi will i be able to run on it without doing the internals

Short Answer: None.
Long Answer: Possibly 4-5 psi at the maximum unless you'd like to have NONE of your internals left. Even then, upgrade something in there.

If nitrous is readily accessable by you--and decently priced--that's the route I would go. I ran a 60-shot on my 2200 for years and it never blinked. When I finally tore the motor down to be built, it was still extremely clean; pistons looked great.

Right answer: 8psi seems to be the cap on stock internals. Tuning and fuel delivery is where it counts, boost is less of a shock to a bottom end compared to nitrous. I believe Ryan ran 400-ish hp on a stock bottom end for a few years.

nick beeler: how much did you end up spending on your set up, you have been running it on stock internals

Yes,it has been on stock internals.I bought the turbo and manifold together from exploited racing.I think they are out of business.but here is a link to a site that has a nice manifold for our engines.http://www.rsaperformance.com/obx-turbo-manifold-header-cavalier-sunfire-22l-2200.html.I have probably spent a couple thousand.the turbo itself new will run you around 600-700.I have the t-3 super 60.my personal opinion is do not go cheap on your set-up.it will cost you in the end.do it right an dyou will get alot of enjoyment out of it.

Check classifieds. I have a partial turbo kit for sale. $200 for a t3 turbo, manifold, bov, downpipe, dipstick, and some piping

Quit getting caught up in boost numbers. One turbo on 5 PSI could make more than another on 15 PSI. The stock 2200 internals are good to about 260 wheel horsepower - and if you are a good driver with good tires that would get you in the low 13s.

Yes... Remember: Boost is nothing without airflow!


Go beyond the "bolt-on".

I think im going to max out my 16G really quick. 20-22 psi!!!!!
Might need to get a 20G over winter, or a Forced Performance Green.

Need a bigger turbo, with the same DSM housings, that way I dont need to make a new downpipe and chargepipe.
