[QUOTE="Snake Eyes, post: 2516205, member: 3410"] What's up man. I am just going what I have been told by Kenne Bell (ask them if you wish), and what common since tells me. Yes it has been done just not by at least one person (not on the boards) according to KB... Further more the twin screw blower seals very well and doesn't lose boost easily (especially at low boost pressures). If it is ok to use a 2.2L on a stock 2V GT motor why wouldn't our motor be able to handle it (at the proper boost levels). The 2.2 is only 30% larger and 1.7 is about maxed out at 9psi (that is a lot of air cause our heads flow very well) so you would not be spinning the 2.2 that slow. Believe me I talked to Ken and Victor about this at length because I was going to do it until I heard how many problems you guys had with your kits. I was even thinking of doing the 2.2L non-intercooler then upgrading later on. They both assured me the 2.2 would be perfectly fine as long as I stayed under 9psi (8 - 8.5 actually because I cant easily get better than 91 octane in the Midwest). Not trying to start an argument here just telling you guys what I was told by KB. [/QUOTE]
