sell it and do a small zfr.

 

if only money grew on trees... lol. if I sell it it'll be because I decided to keep the KO4 on there.

 

Take his advise.

Sell it and start saving for the 6758 zfr. You can get $500 for it easy and you're a quarter of the way to a 6758zfr, after driving a few zfr cars you want a zfr. Even if you don't want all out power the turbo just keeps on pulling, the + and R both drop off (now things can be done to hold boost better, but compared to the zfr they drop).

 

I just have to find the time to put mine on....

 

im not spending 2k on a turbo for this car. The Cobalt is fast enough for a commuter car.
if I spend any money I don't NEED to on cars, itll be to build my G4CS block for my Talon and throw on the HX52 I have. Or spend it on the rest of the bits I need for the twin turbo kit I have for my Trans Am.

 

Then keep the stock turbo and sell the R for Talon or Trans Am parts.

 

Yeah, that's what im leaning towards.

 

ms4 cam, 225 heads, fast intake, 102 tb, 60 lb injectors. 500whp on stock short block in the t/1 if it's a 6 spd.

 

I was running 20 psi on the ZFR and made 360 whp, 320 wtq. it was just a nice DD. it held that to redline no problem.

 

it is. I have no idea what route ill go. its been years since ive even driven the car let alone look up what people are using for builds these days. maybe ill get a k-member and control arms, 60lb injectors, 255 pump, ls9 grind cam, clutch... and just keep it turned down low while I build a l33 or lm4 or LQ4/9, fast intake, Frankenstein 6 speed, get the rear end done... who knows.

 

don't put an ls9 in it. it's a waste of time. if you're going through the trouble, do it right the first time.

 

shows how long I've been away from the LS scene. everybody was saying the ls6 and the ls9 cam worked will with boosted engines last time I was researching. I have a couple payments on the Cobalt left, then i'll start saving and hopefully next year I can piece together my build.

 

BTR makes a hell of cam for the ls engines. very smooth, easy to tune as well.

 

K04R coming off soon. To be replaced with a WR-3

​​​​​Good thing I have a spare transmission...

 

I hope you didn't pay full price for the wr-3 because buying a 6758 from ZZP is a few hundred cheaper for basically the same turbo. Make sure you boost ramp it.

 

Nope, I paid the same amount as a brand new ZFR but the WR3 I picked up is powder coated SRTC. Something about the exhaust side being slightly different than the ZFR (ported exhaust housing and slightly larger).

I'm excited but definitely looking to keep the tune as conservative as my R tune. Hoping to pick up some nice power and carry it even better than the R does.

 

Good choice!

 

make sure you get the correct BW authorized installation kit with that turbo.

 

Oh yeah? That's awesome. Any other goodies I'm unaware of?

Could you elaborate please? Any way to verify this?

 

I don't think so. Your comment about the Werks ex. housing being different/bigger internally is the first I've heard of that actually. But I do believe the oil feed is longer than the ZZP kit which is a huge plus because Adrian just blew up his built LNF with ZFR due to oil starvation caused by the oil feed not being long enough and was too close to exhaust housing which caused it to crumble inside the braided insulator and he lost a bunch of oil during an autoX session. Not sure if you seen his thread but he couldn't confirm the line was broken until he cut it out of the braided insulation. So keep that in mind when routing that line.

Edit: I'm an idiot. After talking with omiotek, he said Werks housing is not stainless. I'm not sure why I thought it was. My bad

 

I was thinking they actually got their housings from ZZP and Dave just Hines them a bit.

 

Ran a 4.349 60-100 last night while racing an FBO, pump gas 2014 WRX. Dude says "wow man, that car is a rocket". LOL

I'm gonna miss this R!

 

i have seen numerous "wr" turbo's not come with the correct hardware and fubar the installation.

 

It has arrived

 

I'm glad Royce finally sold it.
