Every time i go to install something i run into problems, heres a few problems ive had with my car

-Interceptor (Not turning on)
-2.6" ZZP Pulley (Inside Rubs the snout of s/c)
-Fog Light bulbs (One of them doesnt work half the time)

and just simply the car just sucks, it likes to turn itself off

anyone have any other trouble, and im afraid to even take apart the car to install the cobra h/e and dual pass

 

its life man not everything is perfect, except for my car its a anomially

 

i deff think mine was built on a monday, it hates me!!!

 

check the wiring on the interceptor, machine your snout, not sure if its a wiring issue on the headlight tho

 

well the wiring on the interceptor imma go through one day, the snout im still unsure how to machine it, i was thinking DA sander a little on the sides its rubbing on, and the fog light idk wat the hell is wrong with it

 

you have no clue, your doing just fine. My buddy, owns a black 06 ss/sc, he blew number 4, then blew his motor, then went back to stock motor and dropped his trans. That is what i call a lemon

if you have acess to the tools to grind it down do it, if you can't zzp makes a tool but it cost like $100, so if you can try to get the tools together

 

trust me with my luck ill break a bolt or something taking that intake manifold off, or the lines will leak when i do that dual pass

yeah man i work for my uncles body shop and got everything possible you think 80 grit sand paper on that DA will take it down?

 

i have the same problem man

 

yeah that sounds good. word of advice when your doing the cobra h/e and dual pass, make sure all of your gaskets are sealed properly, my car bleed boost until i replaced mine it sucked.

it comes with modifying the car, if it was meant to be that easy they probably would have made it that way.

 

which gasket are we talking about?

 

s/c gasket primarily. I replaced everyone though lol, my bro works for gm so i had everything warrantied for the gaskets. You know the laminova core gaskets are $200 a piece

 

dude, i have some of the same problems... my interceptor wouldnt turn on somtiems then it wouldnt turn off somtiems.... but i got it firgured out, try different fuses, and if u didnt already, use a make-a-fuse.

with the pulley, are you sure its not the bolts that are rubbing? when i put my 2.9 pulley on the bolts were rubbing so what i did was put washers on so they were about 1mm farther out and no more rubbing on le snout.

 

that big green rubber band looking thing i got one of those, and i got the gaskter for the bypass valve too, should i put new s/c and intake mani gaskets?

no trust me it was the pulley, i tried to crank the car on and it didnt wanna and i heard squealing haha

 

nope it should be fine, i don't no what was wrong with mine i think it got damaged well it was off the car so just be careful. The big green one is for the dual pass not the laminova core itself.

 

oo ok, i wanna do this one day but dont have time to do it

 

1. new interceptors are known for problems.
2. The ZZP 2.6 does not fit on the stock snout without at least A LITTLE bit of rubbing. Happend to me, and happened to others.

You are modding a car, what do you expect?

as for your car turning off, well it is a cobalt after all. NOt much better advice to give. and i dont know if simply sanding the snout down will help you may need the tool

 

its a DA sander these things are monsters with some 80 or 40 grit on em, so it should take off a little bit to have it fit over with some room around it

 

possibly? im not sure, you said you work in a body shop, shouldnt you know lol?

 

yeah haha, those things can do it, does anyone know the exact size of the Allen Key to get that blower off?

 

intense sent me a tool with my pulley an hub when i got it

 

u think it would work on mine?

 

mine was a star pattern almost so i don't know becuase i use a intense pulley and hub not zzp, i don't think so though

 

alrighty, im going to try that DA sander and see if that works, if not GRINDER!! haha jk, ill have my uncle figure something out, but besides that wats the allen key size for the bolts on the s/c?

 

go get your pulley and some wrenches and find out lol

 

haha will do, and maybe do that dual pass option B, and h/e, i really need to, to install that 2.6, even tho i got my car tuned to turn the fans on at 190 coolant temps
