2.2L trade for LNF!!?? help?

Hi everyone,

I need some honest opinions, I bought a 2.2L 2007 chevy cobalt with 100k miles with the intentions of supercharging it, I have throttle body, dual pass, and m62. I still would need to by the ZZP KIT and the option B for the dual pass. The guy I bought the throttle body and m62 from also offered a trade for a 130k LNF, I use my car as a daily driver for over 2 hours both ways, I wanted to see what everyone’s thoughts were about the trade. Gas is not an issue, but its more of the idea that I know my car only had 1 previous owner and its automatic, no problem at all 4 lug, 2.5 catback exhaust, masspeed coilover I already know what you are thinking and some brand new sparco wheels with new year round tires, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with it.

I have always been interested in a manual and this seems like it could be something im interested in but I wanted to hear honest opinions from everyone first, im supposed to meet up with him again to buy a subwhoofer, front, rear bumpers, and side skirts, a high rise wing. He also offered to help install everything for the 2.2 conversion. He seems like a guy who wouldnt pull the wool over my eyes, but at the same time im not as versed in all of this. My intention are to turn my 2.2l ls into an ss without buying an ss, but if a trade is worth it im interested In everyones thoughts.

With that said I actually got the car with 97k miles june 15th as of yesterday august 9th Its at 101k I just did an oil change. So span of a month ill be putting 3-5k miles, so in my eyes the difference of 10 months is going from 100k-140k, compared to 130k-170k. Thanks!

2.2L to supercharge HELP

Hi everyone, I am looking into supercharging my 2007 LS, I am looking into the ZZP bolt on kit and have someone looking to sell their manifold, supercharger, and throttle body. My question to everyone is what else do I need, I know I need to get a tune, but what should I be checking as far as buying the supercharger after market, does the Kit come with everything to make sure no over heating? Where and what kind of fuel injection? I plan on doing all of the work myself, ive already derusted painted and worked on the rear and front ends, at this point im looking to make the car more fun, it runs and drives fine, its a 4 lug. I reachout to ZZP directly and do not intend on turbocharging it due to my lack of knowledge and having an automatic transmission. Please let me know what I should know before starting the process, and what kind of small niches everyone has seen during their conversion process. *They told me they are releasing a new turbo kit for base models soon!

My dad and I have rebuilt an old jeep XJ, but adding on performance is a bit concerning on my end. Thanks

Body kit? Best place to find SS trim?

Hear me out, I’m in the process of buying some 16x7.5 4 lug 38 - 40 offset Wheels and tires probably going to do a 205, its a daily driver on coil overs, I know the height isn’t even as of right now. Waiting to get the tires and wheels before I align everything. Got the tints don’t for really cheap which means they are not the best, Interior mods would love to hear suggestions if any. Its a 2007 automatic 2.2 96k miles, no problem or leaks what so ever. Only thing is I don’t want is to throw on some new wheels and have it be a floating boat due to the space from the lack of side skirts and stock bumpers.

My question is where could I find some SS bumpers and skirts and would they be able to fit?, I am willing to buy them and paint them, Cant seem to find any OEM, only after market which seems a bit corny. Im not huge into the turbo/supercharge conversion since I drive an hour both ways so my 34 mpg works with me, just looking to build something that looks clean, also if theres any recommendations for used rims/wheels websites please let me know, Id prefer to not have the universal 4x100 4x114, the 8 holes just seems a bit off to me. I got to much student debt to be dropping 2000k on rims alone not including tires. Any advice much appreciated. And yes it does have a rusty 20 year old exhaust.

Also if you are in the market for wheels/rims I cant seem to understand why every wheel comes in 56.1 mm while the LS comes with a 57.1mm just unfortunate. Best of luck to you. Tons of civics with nice wheels, was just thinking of buying a drillbit and boring the 1 MM. thank you in advance for the help!
