I have only gotten on the car once to get a WOT scan

I broke my forward tranny mount its gone, i was going to install my poly ones today

errrrr

also car is leaking oil pretty decent and 2 bolts have dam near completly come out of the tranny and they were torqued to spec
oh well at least they are easy fixes

just have to wiat for the car to cool down

You must be cranking out some numbers.

Where is the oil leaking from?

i think its from a bolt that fell out

i dont see why everything is coming out damit, i used locktight and a torque wrench

and 2 bolts have dam near completly come out of the tranny and they were torqued to spec
Really? Are you sure? Maybe ask what they torqued them to...
I gotta question the skills of whomever you've got working on your engine, I've never seen the bellhousing bolts come loose OR cam gears break OR had the threads pull on the oil sprayer without plain old "user error"
I'd FIRE em!
Wop

PS> Most any GM dealer has a Time-sert thread repair for ANY thread on the ECOTEC engine

does the car feel stronger?

I did all the work so i know its right

some parts on this car are pure junk

and yes it feels alot stronger beside the tranny i think its going to be on its last leg

LoL
Ok

I was gonna say something negitive but now I'm like forget it. It's alright to read about your motor rebuild adventure your going through but the more days i read the more i shake my head. Atleast i hope you saved money doing it all your self, or something.......

haha wop is talking shit, that is funny

so umm....i think you need to make a little video now....

^^^i think so too.. and some dyno sheets

haha wop is talking shit, that is funnyTalkin Shit? Funny? How and in what way?

i would consider WOP qualified to throw some banter your way
its all in good taste, we all want to see your car running strong

also oil wont leak from bolts coming loose. seals improperly installed,

^^^i think so too.. and some dyno sheets
Every ones really hyping themselves up on this install but take it for what it is, a cool adventure for one of our members Maybe to end with a good write up and sticky. Don't think he's gonna hit the street running high or even mid 12's with the greatest of ease and putting down some crazy ass numbers. Your just setting yourselves up for disappointment. It's a beefed up cobalt if that and video won't show anything differnt from what any other modded cobalt looks like.

damn dark one....
well at least mine should go smoother....
but yeah I feel that's the truth and if the motor lasts more than a month (and thats continuous running) I'd be surprised.
now I'm not tryin to be negative here, but some things that were done were def not right, so lets just see.

oil leaks have been fixed only problem i have now is hptuners not working and no 5th gear

i have driven it for a week daily so far so problems

i have driven it for a week daily so far so problems
hahaha I know everytime you think about going WOT back of your head your like "Hope nothing breaks". I was like that. Do what im doing Daily drive that shit like it was made outta Balsa wood. Not having a warrenty makes pockets hurt when shit breaks.

Update.

you can safely assume its still not running right

Yeah I havent heard anything in a while... and in my exploits with cobalts... no news = bad news

Yeah I havent heard anything in a while... and in my exploits with cobalts... no news = bad news

oops... stupid work computer... sorry dbl post

I always thought it was no news=good news... guess not in cobalt-land :D

to bad i was going to follow in his footsteps... i'll just redirect myself now. sounds like his car is going to be a bad ass machine just takes some work, inculding for his first time. my buddys DSM didnt run right for like a month or two, but once he got it running right, and all the kinks worked out that thing put down some nice numbers.

wheres our update we want to see you 300-350 hp whats the news ?

I want to know about this engine build too. Did this stuff ever get fixed?

Yes it got done, but due to actual life i havent even driven the car in two weeks, I got a new job out of my home basicly my dream job and have been working 20 hour days :)

anything you want to know pm me i still check the forums

oh yea only problem is i did take it out tonight, im getting some fucked up throttle issues but like while driving i can put it in neutral and the rpms will go up as if im on the gas to 3k and stay there

my hp tuners box is broke so umm yea its a lost cause till then and I might be selling it, for funding for my second business

Gotta do what you gotta do, if anyone wants to buy it ill make u a hell of a deal

selling the car ??
throttle cable or intake vacumm leak with the idle surge
