i've read online that the 07 2.2L ions are rated at 145hp and 150 lbs torque, both up 5 respectively from the 03-06 versions. now what i'm wondering is does anyone on here know what causes the increase in power? cause i'm wondering if it might just be a simple programming change which i might be able to get in a reflash.

I'm guessing a better flowing exhaust system, a tuned VVT, different injectors, and possibly a compression change. But these are just GUESSES. -
nope, no vvt, no compression change, no injector change, possibly a different exhaust but doubt it seeing as the 06's don't
it's just being rated different.-Vinny

vinny, so you're saying that there's probably no power difference between the 2?
just figured i'd post this up and find out about it. also, anyone know what's up with the 2.2L cobalts always being rated at 5 hp above the ions?94 SC2, manual, the whore that won't die

The method for doing the ratings tests has been changed. The change in rated HP reflects the new method, not a change in the vehicle. I'm pretty sure there are no mechanical changes to the Ion - especially when they're just getting ready to axe it in a year or so.SaturnSeries.net Owner

thanks, figured it might just be something stupid like that, but figured it didn't hurt to ask.
now could we get a lock on this before something stupid happens?94 SC2, manual, the whore that won't die
