TNT has not (TMK) but the creator, Alpine Developments (http://alpine-developments.us)[link (http://alpine-developments.us)], has. Reps from SpeedMafia (http://www.speedmafia.com)[link (http://www.speedmafia.com)] were also present throughout the process and have experience w/ the kit.
how hard was it tuning this bad boy?
tuning is done via the Perfect Power SMT6 (http://www.perfectpower.com/products/smt6.asp)[link (http://www.perfectpower.com/products/smt6.asp)] connected to a laptop. The original fit on the 2.2 cobalt, IIRC from my convos w/ reps at the companies, took ~4hrs on the dyno to custom tune. however, it is my understanding that alpine will ship this unit for tuned @ 8psi for your altitude, which i'm guessing you'd need to (or want to) specify when ordering else they'd probably key it off your zip code.

This is the kit that sw4y has on his ride and was talking about after he got it done.

TCarter
02-12-2007, 01:29 PM
Correct, We ordered some, and will be putting them on my fiance's vehicle to give you all our "Review" of it.

And yes. Price is $3500 USD + $100 shipping due to weight.

ehhh, don't be so sure yet. depending on the turbo it could spool pretty damn fast, and make some mean torque depending on the setup. won't smoke an ss/sc, but could be a bit faster. wait to see some dyno's.

its not going to be the HP that wins the race for the LS it'll be the TQ. too many LSJ guys are caught up on HP. 224wtq vs 180-190wtq from an SS/SC...thats a big diff.

Stock SS/SC's will be no problem...its the stage 2 + bolt ons & up SS/SC's that you'll have to worry about.

The power adder aint the issue at that point though its the bottom end.

TCarter
02-12-2007, 11:13 PM
Turbo's are easily capable of getting the power you want. Upgraded engine internals, boost controller, and turn it up...if needed, throw on a bigger turbo, change the injectors and such.

if your only reason as to not get this kit because you have some sort of aftermarket intake, i suggest you rethink it.

It would be easier to sell your intake, and get this. Far too much power.

SAI wont affect a turbo set-up
a turbo set-up would give you new headers and a new intake, replacing the SAI on your stock headers and intake

knopdm
02-13-2007, 02:09 AM
no no. Secondary air injection(SAI) is an emissions control device that gm put on mid to late year 06 cobalts. its an air pump that is tied into our intakes and exhaust manifolds. If i were to install the alpine turbo kit i would have to take the secondary air injection system off. Then i would have a ton of check engine light issues. Untiil a company is able to reflash our computers to delete the SAI, us mid to late year 06's are SOL.

if you have 3 grand saved you have enough already, but dont think you are not gonna have to buy other stuff on top of the kit if you want to do it rght

Speed Mafia
02-13-2007, 11:40 AM
This kit I have personally seen and drove and all I can say is wow...!

My opinion on this kit is it should of came from the factory this way, I saw someone say it looked crappy? the turbo is good up to 300hp, all piping is mandrel bent, and Chromed, all Silicone fittings are the same and high quality, manifold is casted specific for the 2.2L/2.4L engine w/heat shield (sits farther on the drivers side for heat reasons, not like other kits in the middle)heat shield blanket on fire wall to insure heat protection, air hat is designed to swirl around air so when the 5th injector ads fuel there is no puddling and a proper mix of air/fuel is mixed together, Tuning via SMT-6 you have control of your air/fuel, pull timing (timing control) and data logging, down pipe designed specific to the Cobalt, Cold Air Intake designed w/fatty K&N Air Filter up front by bumper fitted with MAF Sensor, Piping designed for front mount intercooler... all in all the kit was designed for longevity and constancy and continuous power...with room to grow!

Therefore, for the people that want to go internals and more boost it is a 1-time investment!

In addition, this kit strapped on to a Cobalt LS did run a Cobalt SS/SC and the winner was the Cobalt LS! so this kit has already beat a stock SS/SC, and rumors are it runs with EVO's and modded SS/SC and vids soon to come to prove this "Rumor"...

Therefore, for 3500 you are getting a hell of a Turbo kit! Alpine designs these kits so it looks like it came from the dealer but out performs modified cars like the SS/SC stock for stock.
Again, I am truly impressed with this kit and you will not believe it until you drive it!
In addition, someone said they would do a FMU…? On a return less fuel line setup, you would need to go with a DFMU to control fuel and in fact, I know someone is selling one at a great price! So yes, FMU digital will work as well but for the price and control SMT-6 FTW!
Thanks Kevin

BLKLS
02-13-2007, 09:23 PM
so when the 5th injector ads fuel there is no puddling and a proper mix of air/fuel is mixed together,


so this kit uses a extra injector to add fuel only under boost conditions is that correct? if that is so then the computer still hasn't been cracked correct?

TCarter
02-13-2007, 10:08 PM
Yes, the piggyback is why that 5th injector adds fuel, and it changes the A/F ration automaticly..

And yes, it is only under boost. it comes with a built in 2.5Bar MAP sensor.

celicacobalt
02-13-2007, 10:25 PM
as far as i know the 2.2 can still tune the transmission but youd have to find a shop that uses hp tuners to give it a shot. on just getting the pieces andnot the whole kit i know you can buy the smt6 alone and tune it yourself but the mainfold from alpine i think he is refusing to sell alone, he wants you to buy the whole kit but thats just what i heard.

that would be from a roll of course. while they run much quicker 1/4 mile times their trap speeds aren't anything that we can't accomplish.

This is great. Unfortunately I am one of those"lucky" cobalt owners with the SAI. Has Alpine discussed a way to solve this problem yet? If their is a way to get around it so I dont have CEL's it would be sick. Well it would be sick to have a 2.2 base with a turbo... for $4,000...

if your handy with wrenches, the kit is pretty easy to do it yourself.


back in the day not knowing a damn thing about cars, but liking them...i installed a turbo kit.


its pretty self explanatory, an average kit will take you 20ish hours for your 1st time, so plan a weekend.

however, if you start in the am, you can finish at about 8pm, just intime to go cruise and smoke the doors off of some cars.
