alright i have a 05 sunfire auto and a 99 z auto. i think i am going to sell the z and get boost for the fire. GM is making a super for the 2.2 eco and i was wondering how much boost will it create. Will it make boost like the ss cobalt or is is going to be like the gm ld9 charger. I am thinking turbo because it has more potential. So i am looking for a reliable kit that has proven performance I just dont want to damage the engine so I should probably stick with a stage 1 for now.
no telling but here are some specs in case they help out.

sens you have a 2.2L you'll deff have over 200 hp, thats for damn sure!

The Eco is one of those motors that just soars in higher RPM's, where a turbo does the best. Personally I'd go turbo. They are a little more complicated and of course more tuning involved, but as far as I have always seen, turbo setups have more potential. I'd go turbo with it.

I recommend turbo, Hahn Racecraft owns a street driven 2003 Sunfire that runs 11's on a built motor, stage 2 Hahn Racecraft turbo kit, a PortFueler (8 injector setup) and a bit of weight reduction performed by a 16 year old.

yeah i really like what i hear about hahn if i go turbo i think i would go with them what all does there kit include. I want to run stock internals for a while then upgrade that later when i want more power but besides that does hahn give me everything i need?

i wanted the hahn kit for my 03 auto cavi, but was told that they don't make a hahn kit for the auto. i hear if you redo some of the piping it will work. but i emailed hahn and they told me that i shouldn't considering it may be too much power for the tranny. i'm not completely sure about that so i hope someone straightens it out for me.
Blown.

the only problem with hahn's kit and automatic transmissions is some of the intercooler piping doesn't clear. no big deal, any exhaust shop can bend you a new piece, it just won't be as purdy and shiny. as far as power goes... you would be just fine with up to about 10 psi on your automatic transmission.

if i eventually start running over 10 what will i need to do too the auto tranny?

I'm not really sure at this point what can be done to the auto transmissions. The only auto transmission I know that can be beefed up heavily is the 3spd auto, which Event had done. Do a search in the transmission forum.

how much is that portfueler setup?
I called hahn and their ecotec turbo kit and its for manuals only. i went and checked jtuners website they dont have a eco kit. What other choices do i have???
well you can be the first to put a hahn kit on an auto....or just make your own. im still waiting for someone to let me put a hahn kit on their auto so we can get the new pipes made and see what the autos can do and take

ive seen a boosted cavy on here and its a auto so can i get the kit and put it on and just not hold them responsible and what will my tranny need to withstand the power?
I was just at cavalier connection's website not jtuners.com cavalierconnection.com and it says they have a 2.2 eco kit that works for the auto tranny so i will give them a call tommorow and find out.

Um... Cavalier Connection = Jtuners now. They must not have shut down their old site yet.
