Just ordered the new OTT heat exchanger, its massive, way bigger than my old Cobalt addiction one that I sold to Snakes709. Should help keep the IAT's down over the summer I also ordered a new SS/TC upper grill kit, it looks so much better than the 05-07 SS/SC grill. The only other appearance mod is a ARK shorty antenna that I will order soon.

Pretty much have most appearance mods done:

Debadged
Painted Supercharger
Painted Valve Cover
Painted Injector cover and Spark plug cover
Tinted windows
SSC Lowering Springs
Tinted tail lights
Cross drilled and slotted rotors
Painted calipers
2 Gauge pod
Painted headlights
Painted bowtie
Phillips Crystal vision bulbs
Repainted Rims
Supercharged Door sills
Aeroforce Scan Gauge
Front Licence plate removed, holes filled

Waiting to Install:

SS/TC upper Grill
Ark Shorty Antenna

Here is a pic of what the new Heat Exchanger will look like, once I get it on the car



Here is the old in comparision......this is way thicker, and much taller, and longer than the CA one in this pic

 

Nice dude.

 

your car's gonna be running top notch this summer Ryan, but I thought you were going back to stock so you could sell it / trade it in??

 

How did you get those circly things painted where there front plate was ???
I painted mine with the same color paint as my car (the stuff from the dealer) and it peels right off!!!

 

looking good ryan. ill be getting in touch with you later on about doing some tuning.

 

yeah ... you had thread up befor xmas selling stuff ... decide to keep the balt?!

 

Geese now snow up there lol
unless that photo was from summer?

 

I was looking at the yellow balt and I was like "I thought he owned a silver one" scroll down a little bit more and I finally clued in

 

Won't be driving it much this summer, going to be on a course for the military for a few months. I decided to hold off on selling it, i figure I will never get the money out of it that I have put in, plus I am a car guy and modding is my hobby

But ya I will be happy with it in terms of looks after these parts are installed, tryed to keep the car tastefull with no cheesy mods or stickers, etc...I think I have accomplished my goal

Ya I am constantly touching them up with touch up paint that I keep in my dash, i usually touch it up everytime i wash my car, which is like 2-3 times a week, its a pain, but worth it over having the ugly licence plate holder

For sure, keep me posted

Yep that was from last spring

 

hey ryan!! are u good with hptuners?? and can u install the OTT kits? cause if u can give me better numbers then i can get tuned down here i'll prob make the roadtrip to get u to tune me!!

 

Yep you should get the whole OTT Stage kit, that includes the pcm reflash, i can flash that in for ya, as opposed to sended your pcm to them. then we can datalog their tune and make any fine adjustments from there. I have made tons of headway in the tuning side from where I was last year in terms of knowledge and understanding our pcms, so there should be no issues with that. I am gone for a military course from may til august so get a hold of me in Early april and we can get you set up.

Is this the kit you are looking at? If so its a good deal, just make sure you add the stage 2 belt for the extra $35 so you dont get belt slip with the 2.8" pulley.

gone from may to august? ouf I might have to make an appointment with you too :P

 

ah cant wait to order my OTT stuff.. that heat exchanger looks great

 

yeah i plan on purchasing the OTT Stage 1 kit after i get my income tax return back!! i'm still waiting for my last t4 suppose to be sent out last week of feb!! then i can file then how-ever long it takes to get it back to me!! plan on getting the stage 2 belt 60's and the 2.8..and u recommend the tuned pcm too?... i was gonna go that way anyway incase i had ever had to go back to stock

 

Me too !! I have a 2.9" pulley and a heat exchanger i need you to help me install and tune me alittle for safety also !!!!

Pm sent ............

 

ok we defently have to get a huge cobalt cruise sometime in May before i leave for edmonton. I cant wait to see everyones cars...lol

 

Are you driving to Edmonton?

 

how did u cover the holes for the front licence plate

 

ya they(OTT) send you a tune file for those mods as part of the package, i just need to flash that into your ecu with HP tuners and your set, we can than datalog to see if any small changes need to be made.

I have installed 60lb injectors on like 4 cars plus my own, i can help, its not hard, plus Zekdemos has a pulley puller you could borrow for the pulley install

Yup...not 100% sure but i plan on leaving June 1st. Going to stop and see the sights on the way also.

 

wow that would be a long ass drive lol... I did from here to Niagara Falls with the cobalt and I thought that was a long drive.... hah

 

I went to a hardware store and bought interior automobile panel fasteners, then I went to walmart and got gm silver metalic touchup paint for like $10 and painted them, pushed them in the holes where the licence plate holder was. you have to touch them up like once a week becuase they are plastic , and they peel off easy

 

well maybe i would because my car black lol

 

well i have to be there June 9th so 9 days to get up there and im going to take my time...army is paying for everything so i might as well take advantage of it...lol

 

nice lol
