well i was using my nitrous on the hwy and about 5 miles later my check engine light started flashing. motor started cluttering and the engine idled really low. the exhaust sounded like the boxer mod. so i got it home and tearing some crap apart and found that cylinder 4 spark plug is shattered from the bottom. im getting a compression tester kit to see whats wrong with it. sofar i noticed with the plug out its not blowing the rag that i covered it with. its creating a vacuum and trying to pull it in. ill be back later with updates

 

Sounds like it's fried, SUCKS!!!

 

2.2, 2.4, 2.0?

NM 2.2, damn man, those 2.2's are suppose to handle nitrous pretty dang well, what shot you run?

 

N2O>Ecotecs lol Another kill for the juice! Good luck, hope you don't have to do a rebuild.

 

i was on 75, im still waiting for the compression test, btw whats it suppost to be at 160ish?

 

i believe its like 160 or 190...one of the 2

 

update:

compression test

cylinder 4 came in at 120psi
cylinder 3 came in at 0 psi lmao
cylinder 2 came in at 160psi

didnt even **** with cylinder 1

 

Womp womp womppppppp. Harsh man, how much is that gonna run ya to take care of ya think?

 

insurance good man lol, im going to try and claim it on insurance because i want them to total it lol

 

Now me and the mad scientist have to rip apart the block and replace those piston rings youve fried.

 

sad but pretty much true...

 

So did little green washers randomly shoot around in the passenger area and you dropped a dimond plated floorboard?

 

shoulda used a 100 shot bro

 

ouch... dont order diamond pistons... that company is crap, i had to wait 6 weeks for my pistons, all the while having them tell me they were on the shelf... then the 6th week they said "oops they are backordered, they have been for 2 months"...

RavenSS had it even worse... JUST DONT DO IT!!!

 

If they did total it you'd just take the money and keep the car?

 

i want the money and they can have the damn car

 

You should rip out anything you can sell before they get it too so you can make more profit.

 

I didnt know that insurance would total a car because the engine "just up and blew".

 

Last time I did a compression test I got 191psi across the board, no more, no less.

I'm gonna be checking it again in a couple days

 

lol i dont think they will total it or even cover it for that matter.. thats kinda a user error when the motor goes.

 

I feel your pain

 

well think of it this way. the car is worth 7 thousand in perfect condition, and the motor cost about 1500-3000 depends on where they get it. labor is around 4-8 hours for the motor, and then im going to get them to add a line for the transmission saying that when the motor stalled out on the hwy i was in 5th gear and pulled over and smelt the clutch badly. thats another 3-5 hours in labor for a tear down. plus they will not know i have had nitrous on there. all proof is gone, so if warranty is denied for the purpose of abuse. ill pay my insurance deductable and they will see that the claim will be around 4-5 grand + the cost of the rental car and i will claim that my windshield is cracked also so i can get the car in perfect condition again. so if they are smart they will total it and use the car for parts for another cobalt

 

i want parts, can i have some parts lol

 

well the car is at the dealership right now, they said they would give me a call later on today to tell me what they find out. i have a feeling that friendly chevrolet is dumb and will warranty it

 

If they total it... you should buy my SS/SC.
