So I'm in the process of collecting parts for my LNF build for my solstice and I know this is a colbalt forum. I'm shooting for around 450. I'm currently running meth and also on going with the 7163. I have on order the Werks 5th injector kit which I'm having powdercoated black so it blends in.















Zzp balance shafts


More parts here we go

Stage 2 Cams






ATI Damper




New Machined Cover

 

I'm following your build on solsticeforum, I might as well follow it here too . Should be a good build.

 

Thanks appreciate it. I figured I would post it on here as well.

 

Seems like you have alot of goodies im in to follow the build

 

I just have to save up for the turbo and I'm going to go with the DDM clutch since I'm not a fan of the spec clutches

 

Wow man that is a nice collection of parts - plus you'll be the first I've heard of with the stage 2 cams + 7163. Can't wait to see what kind of power this makes.

 

Yup it should come out with tons of power

 

Subd ! Excited to see what kind of power the 7163 can make

 

Are you planning on keeping it really safe (450 whp with those mods)

Or are you just being conservative with your power goals?

 

I have all the bolt ons as well so I'm going to keep it safe for now but building it so if I want to turn it up later on it can handle it

 

I think 450 should be very doable. Although I never took I to account rwd losses. I still think with those mods it shouldn't be a problem!

 

I was thinking with the meth I should be close

 

What are you going to do about the 7163 hitting the strut tower I've read that it's an issue with the solstice/sky.

 

My builder has already made a manifold that will fix this

 

I don't remember if you said in your other thread or not, but are you having a twin scroll mani being built so that you can run the twin scroll 7163?

 

That's correct Dave at DDM will be building the manifold

 

450? How do you expect to keep up with me with only 450? Time to sell it and get a granny car!

 

That makes me a sad panda

 

That makes for two sad pandas

 

Yes running a custom manifold and ith a twin scroll manifold not the zfr version

 

So I alreay know the answer to this but I just wnt to make sure. With the ATI dampner I assume I would lose my powersteering is this correct. If so Im not sure I want to go down that route lol.

 

Why would u loose power steering? It's electrical , why would damper take it away?

 

I thought I read somewhere about the pulley not being able to be installed but I might have read it wrong

 

I didn't think the Solstice had electric power steering :/

 

Not like you really need it with that light of a car
