In the end I specifically told him I didn't want it tuned very aggressive to begin with because I wanted to see how the clutch would hold up at first. It's my daily driver and I was in the process of looking for a beater car as a daily driver so I can take bigger risks with the cobalt. Started adding up parts for a mild build. get a clutch. and hopefully start to do all this over the winter months that way by next spring/summer I can push the turbo to it's potential.

 

I do understand what you're saying, but it still just seems like a bit of a waste with that size of a turbo. It should definitely be a fun little setup once you can start pushing things a bit more.

I wish that video he made actually showed him getting to 100mph though. It stops just short of 100 for whatever silly reason. Even with that, he's around a 3.6 second 60-95 (roughly). Which is no doubt a good time, but it's right on par with my 3.69 60-100 I did with my EFR6758.

 

i'm not 100% sure what his tune was in this video. I almost feel as if it was spinning most of that video but at times it seems like it wasn't spinning. anyways i'll be putting a new set of nittos on next week. as well as ordering the gms1 sensors. he'll be up sometime in September for our annual fall meet and then i'll install the gms1 sensors and have him crank it up and make it a lot more aggressive than it is. for as little as I get on it I might as well let it live a little. then i'll buy a clutch and let it sit in my room for a few days til the stock one starts to go. put that in and start gathering for a mild build. hoping just pistons. fuel lobe cam and valve springs will do.

 

Depending on how hard you want to push things, you may not need to upgrade to a cam with a larger fuel pump lobe. I'm currently making 421/407 on e35 at 25.5psi with no issues at all with my stock fueling setup. It just really all depends on how the tune is setup and how mechanically sound everything is on the car.

 

i'd really like to get benefits of full E85 someday. hopefully these new injectors they're teasing will become something. I ran full e in my lsj for a long time and it was excellent. can't imagine what it would be like with this turbo.

 

I thought I was just seeing things or just being picky. I'm glad someone else caught it. Could definitely be the problem why your dyno numbers where so low. You have a huge turbo and you're not taking advantage of it. You're barely spooling it and then its cutting off in the next gear. You really aren't even getting to the peak of it with the way you have it now.

I need to get my **** running...

 

Yea I saw your posts on facebook. sorry man :\

 

I have a smaller turbine wheel than nick does and im limited to wastegate (8.7psi) at the moment but it spools a lot faster than i thought it would. I finally got my new ball and spring for my mbc today. Time to go install and crank the boost up

 

Crack that bitch up lets see some vids!

 

im curious what a similar fueled and bolted s20g lnf would do against you. too bad we will never know....lol

 

Well there does happen to be a local fella with an hhr ss that has a 20g strapped to it that I tuned earlier this year who might be willing to participate it a few runs. Problem is, he's on 93 and I'm unfortunately not very eager to give up my e85 that I have to travel over an hour and to another state in order to transport back to my house.. lol

I'm sure he'd still be willing to play a little though regardless.

 

just ordered 3 bar maps and zzp big turbo intake. hoping to get an electronic cutout soon. then get retuned with much more aggression.

 

Bout damn time you get the 3 bars.

Great success.

 

haha I know right. I just didn't feel a rush to get them cause I can't do anything with them until I can meet up with james to get a revision. he's been in California for a month so I've just been taking my time. that and we're extremely busy at work so I've been exhausted every night when I get home.

 

Thats not really a fair comparison with an extra 4-500 lbs tho

 

True, but it was already slightly unfair with me running e35 and him on 93. It's the best I got for a 20g lnf vs a 6758 lnf though dammit! lol

 

Its all good. If you dont rape him with 400lbs less weight and better fuel, then we know whats up...did he dyno? Is he auto?

 

Nope, no dyno numbers for him just yet and he has a manual trans. His car does rip pretty good though. I sort of changed my mind about the 20g after tuning his setup..

 

What are your thoughts on it after tunning a car running one?

 

NOW this should be the real word on it, so what do ya say on the s20g 09cobaltSS1???

 

Waiting on this review LOL

 

exactly...lol

 

So I ran my cousins 03 cobra last night. Intake exhaust pullied and tuned. Dynod 460/450. 60-140 pulled 2 cars. Was pretty stoked.
