More info points to LNF Turbo sizing issue.

In race tune, the Solstice GXP is going to make 330 horses, yet 425 pound/feet. This screams of the turbo being sized for optimum throttle response and little else.

So, who all makes oversized dual-scroll turbos for this thing...?.(with ceramic ball bearings) :)

good find shab...

Nice find, that power/torque is amazing.

425tq? That would be rediculous in a FWD DD car

But for shredding tires in a Solstice, it'd be perfect.

damn, gotta love tq

That's on the stock turbo??

supposedly....go to the site above...all its says is there's a tune, catless dp, and 3" exhaust.....

Hopefully they put some good injectors in the dam thing this time so you can boost it up and not run out of injectors. I defiantly want to drive one soon.

injector swap's arent possible on the direct injection system that bosch uses..

Naw man you guys were right. The Caliber SRT-4 is gonna whomp on the new LNF :rolleyes:

what transmission are they using?

if you look at the car that has been travelling the country. there is dick for room for turbo upgrades.

"We made a couple changes in the engine calibration, removed the catalytic converter, and installed a free-flowing 3-inch exhaust. While we may not pass government emissions testing, or meet the longevity requirements for the GM Powertrain warranty, we were able to get 330 horsepower and 425 ft-lbs of torque (those ECOtecs are torque-monsters!) from the production engine. "

WOW!

it absolutely is :lol: no stage kits for the cobalt, maxed out tranny, a complete bitch to tune. it will be great in stock form, and that's about it.

f35 tranny in the new cobalt. rated for a max torque of 258, comes with 260 from the factory. i have a serious feeling this car is not going to be upgraded without some serious work first.

you're in for a huge suprise.

:lol:

thats some great torque ha ha its nice to see the engine makes some power

It dont have no wheel hop stock but with that much tq gunna break axles :lol:

i hope i am. as of now everything i'm finding doesn't look to promising, but i hope i'm looking in the wrong places and am totally proven wrong. this car looks like a HUGE step forward for gm's sport compact car, as long as it's upgradeable. but all the things i'm finding are seeming to prove otherwise at this point.

i'm being serious now, what do you think will be possible with this car, and tell me where i'm wrong. maxed out tranny from the factory, yea it's probably conservative #'s, but still what do you do about that to hold more power? the direct injection seems like it's an asbolute bitch to tune, and many guys are still having problems tuning the lnf. shitloads of gm reps, and gm higher ups are saying that not stage kits will be released. granted, they've been known to be wrong before, and i'm sure eventually aftermarket companies will step up.

i really hope this car will live up to the hype, i think it would kick ass if it did. i'm just not hearing anything promising as far as upgrading at this point.

330hp? Wow.. SRT4 has already been there and did that. Wake me up when your godly LNF shows up Alpha.

Did you overlook the 425 pound/feet? AGAIN, I say to you, if an engine is capable of 330 horses and 425 pound/feet on a turbo, the turbo is SIZED WRONG.

Im going to wait to test drive it myself, and have a good chance to look at it before I say anything about it....

Did they post a dyno to prove this? Also was this on C16?

You have no idea what your talking about.

Wake me up when you stop talking our your ass.
