I have my eye on a few cars i need to beat
boosted honda s2000 = 400hp +
srt-4 stg 3= 350 +
Evo 8 = Who knows.
350z = IDK

i have the mod bug. and Big shows coming up!

Mods Coming:
CIA Charge Piping / HKS BOV
CIA Exhaust & DP
CIA Intake
CIA Tri-Tune

Hopefully i can play with the big dogs!

And i got some unique visual mods!

Anyone have any ideas!? or Engine ideas?

 

In what context are you talking about "beating" these cars? Drag strip? Roll on the street?

 

Both.... Prob more on the track though.

Being Safe FTW :p

 

Turbo swap, you wont be anywhere close to the S2K without one. The SRT you may be able to hang with for a bit but those stage 3 srts are no joke. And if he puts race gas in it then you won't stand a chance. With the mods you listed you will be just over 300whp probably about 320 or so.

The Evo and 350Z depends on if they are modded and to what extent.

 

im interested in the "unique" visual mods

 

Me too what would be unique? Just curious.

Oh and just more info on the SRT. A friend has a mopar stage 3 srt with some other mods. On the street he can't catch traction untill 70mph and 1st and 2nd gear are useless. So if you do race him tell him to go from a dig. On the track he's probably going to have slics anyway so you better have some too.

 

buy a Z06

 

yeah you need a turbo swap to hang with those boys if you are talking about whp. If you are talking about crank horsepower than you might give that srt-4 a run for it's money. Oh BTW dude I am downloading my Trifecta tune as we speak. I am so excited

if thats an evo 8 then you will get him from a roll and also be damn close in the quarter mile

 

all my parts from CIA I will hopefully be doing a special color scheme to it. I am going to have red powedercoating. And I was thinking about some really nice rims. Or doing a custom powercoat on my stock rims!

Unique meaning trying to get the A4 light scheme.

Some new seats. Idk what kind yet.

Prosport guages.
Compition audio.

Either black out scheme or Black and red!

My car is black. So help me out?

 

Turbo S2Ks are no joke for sure. I had a buddy that had a stage 3 srt4 at work and that thing was a beast. Get the mods and race them for fun and see what happens and let us know!!

And if you're trying to be quick i wouldn't suggest an audio system (if you're talking about subs) since it is useless weight. But then again you can pull a box out no problem

 

visual mod i posted not to long ago looks really nice, painted valve cover
https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/appearance-48/ss-tc-painted-intake-valve-cover-150434/

 

why are you putting a BOV...the air gets circulated back into the engine with the LNF or is there something im missing?

 

fail! buy a ZR1 lol

 

sweet! Done!

Let me just pull that $100,000 right out of my ass

 

lol yea.... please excuse yourself out of here if you dont wanna help :/

I want to paint my valve cover and mani. I wonder how much it would cost. i dont want to fool around with that

 

Boosted 2000>cobalt
Stg SRT>/=cobalt (more than likely SRT>cobalt
Evo 8 =/<cobalt
350Z<Cobalt

But like eville said, the evo8 and 350z depend on mods...the 350Z stock for stock on a LNF can and should lose, LNF should be a few ticks faster. Also what year on the 350? Remember the first 2 years the numbers were lower. The SRT would have to have a horrible jump, or blow traction out the water to lose. And the 2000, although I hate hondas...its got ***** without the turbo, with it being boosted and modded, **** its got a ******* moose knuckle.

And also what about intercooler? And lose the BOV...sure it sounds cool, but a waste in performance, upgrade ur spring, or washer it on the stock BPV, to handle the boost.

 

so no BOV??

I might can get an intercolor...and piping i guess!

any other ideas

 

You can get a BOV, it wont hurt ur performance, but it wont really help it either. IMO its a waste, but watch and see, one day I'll put one on my car, just to hear the whoosh. haha. If you tune it, its best to get the spring upgrade, since its possible you may leak boost. And as a side note, if the car is pushing over 315 ft/lb of torque, the clutch may slip. And seeing all those bolt ons and the tune you will definately be way over that number.

Might want to invest in a clutch too, and a lightened flywheel. Dont listen to me though, I dont know a whole lot about these type of things

 

With these bolt ons and a tune you will be around 325 whp give or take a few hp. And yes you will eventually need a clutch. I have all these mods and tune and stock clutch. I have money for a new clutch but am waiting until this one gives out to upgrade. Might as well get my money worth out of the stock clutch since its winter and I won't be drag racing anytime soon. too cold

 

If these HP readings are WHP...and the drivers of these cars are decent drivers I dont see you beating the srt and definatley not the S2k.

 

well a stage 3 srt-4 runs mid 12's so you better be a good driver haha

 

True! I guess I am gonna have to get a new clutch cause I know I can get hp350-tq400 outta this car.

I wanna be running low 12's!

 

If you want 350hp then you better plan on upgrading the compressor wheel on the factory turbo or do a turbo swap

 

I was thinking about upgrading....

 

Don't forget about tires and suspension!
