my car gets about 22 mpg city now. and i drive very slow. i never even go 1/2 throttle cause the car is slow. and why waste gas to not move much faster?
i dont believe boosting my car would give me better fuel economy. i think id get worse, because it would need more fuel, and then id be giving it more throttle all of the time for fun.
I just want to thank everybody for their contributions to this thread. I was thinking about a rebuild, and even though it took about fourteen pages to get my answer, I got it. so thanks for the info.

Yes it is Aasryanth's Sunfire, and I sold the turbo kit, ported head, Quaife, etc... off of my 2200. I am still trying to sell the forged pistons and rods from the 2200.
275hp & 306tq - 1999 2.2 ohv
13.2 @ 108 mph
-1996 2.4 liter + Turbo + Built motor + Torco + More boost = Lots o' Power
-2000 Mustang GT + 2004 Cobra motor, Whipple 2.3 supercharger,
built rear-end,Dodge Viper spec T56 6 speed, bolt-ons = wheelies at the track!!!!!
you selling used rods and pistons? and for how much?
Smokey wrote:Hey Adler, is that Aasrnth's old SunFire? Did you part out yours?
I don't think it's his! Isn't it FF22's old car you're reffering to?
N2O + Bolt-ons
= 220Hp/
250Tq
Coming Soon:HpTunersPro, EagleConnectingRods, WiescoPistons, 13sec2200
eric i had first dibs on the forged internals
and adler how much do ya want for them
I did a rought estimate a few months back for how much i had spent, and i think it was around 9K total, but maybe like 5K in the motor. The rest would be suspension and audio, and interior
sk843143 and Eric A, check your PMs.....
Oh yea, they are 9:1 Venolia forged pistons with overzied full floating wrist pins, pin oilers, spiral locks & Eagle rods machined to fit the oversized wrist pins.

so maby i missed something but has anyone reached or exeded 200 hp all motor?
so does ne one know
cause thats what im hopeing for just wana know if its reasionable
According to Desktop Dyno, you can exceed 200 hp N/A. As for a street car, it would need some serious gearing, but doable, if you don't mind crusing at 3000+ rpm at 60 mph. This would be on premium gasoline with the compression needed.
what would the gearing have to do with the motors potential for all motor power?
he was talking about streetability the powerband would b so high that you would need a lot af gear to make it streatable

When you build a high horsepower engine, especially a small displacement, naturally aspirated motor, you need to turn higher rpms. Remember that horsepower is torque developed over time or mathematically: HP=TQ * RPM / 5252. For example: 150lbs/ft of torque X 6500rpm / 5252 = 185.6 HP. To get the higher rpms, the motor needs to built to move enough air to make that HP(an engine is an air pump, the more air you move the more power you make). When you build the motor to move that much air, you lose air velocity, which builds torque. Torque is what moves you off the line or off the corner, it makes you accelerate. The motor now has to turn higher rpms to get the air velocity up to produce the torque you once had in the lower rpms. You need lower gears(numerically higher) to get into the torque band to make the car move.
You can actually go slower in the 1/4 mile, if you build your motor with allot of horsepower and don't match the gearing to the torque band.
Horsepower is how fast you can go, torque is what makes the car move, so you newed to match the gearing to the torque of the motor to get the car going.
I don't have anything to contribute to this post, I wish I did. I don't think i've even posted on this forum yet. But I wanted to thank everyone that posts their builds and such. I've got a 97 2.2l notec with a few boltons that I like quite a bit. And I'm still not sure what I want to or plan to do with it, but it's great to see there's so much knowledge out there ready for my grabs if I want it.
I guess what I mean is.
Kudos, to all of you who have posted in this thread. Pat yerselves on the back, everyone deserves it now and then, yeh?
so its poss to reach 200hp on a 2.2 but noone has done it .......
thats kinda discouraging mad jack is thare a way that i can get ahold of that desktop dyno

It's just so much easier (cheaper) to break 200hp with a turbo, there's not a ton of motivation to do it NA.
I bought my dyno2000 on ebay for like $30 a couple years ago.

hell yeah, permission to use it? 
sticker time, ecotec's can't have all the fun.
lol, I'm going to get some stickers made up some day for my car. Just like the Honda's stock "DOHC vtec", but with my twist
Like this one:

Damn tootin'. Them stickers sound sweet to me.
