new people to forum with lnf should really research this car before they give advice on what upgrades people should buy, iv seen a few that suggest upgrades that people dont even need, cause they figure the stock part isnt good enough when in reality some of our stock parts like injectors, fuel pump, internals, are good for a heck of alot more than alot of cars out there. Please do ur research before u make people spend money they dont have to instead of spending money on something they actually should be. alot of suggestions people dont need unless they are going 400+whp some even more.

 

?! Links of this said bad advise?

Someone say to make 300wph they needed to buy a new block?

 

Anyone who says you need charge pipes is lying. I've had no issues with mine in 3.5 years. You might WANT them, but you don't NEED them.

 

no im not gonna point people out, but there have been, new injectors (didnt do research obviously cause u cant get any) fuel pump, iv seen pistons and rods at hp levels that dont need them. just goto the threads that talk about what mods someone should do, ull find them in there.

 

I bought new charge piping because I don't like the plastic lol. Plastic and high psi just don't below in the same sentence.

 

and its not so much advice, its more like, hey i did this with my last car, so ill tell them to do it with this car, without realizing its direct injected and alot different than port injected, and also is built alot better than most older l4 cars.

 

I seen that thread about the injectors and I was like WTF?

 

^^haha.. he was shot down pretty quickly by a few of us though..

Easy mistake to make with these cars though. Especially when an unsuspecting modder sees a manufacturer making a claim that it will fit our engine.

 

yes he was. lol and im sure he never even checked to see if he needed or could even find new ones. lol question, what do our injectors flow compaired to normal injectors? like what cc would they be? if u can even compare

 

SO, I just picked up an LNF......what SHOULD my first mods be then?

 

A set of retros from Maven.

 

Hello friend.

Your first mod you should get is a intercooler so you can advance that timing beyond factory safety levels. Your next mod should be the K&N intake so your engine bay can look exactly like everybody elses engine bay. You should also get the ZZP upper charge pipe because it will help make it impossible to differentiate your engine bay from anyone elses and also because the upper charge pipe has a recall that should have already been taken care of :/.

You should also get a high catted DP and it doesnt matter from where because they all look the same. Leave the factory exhaust alone so your car will sound exactly like every other cobalt SS out there because we all have the same setup.

I feel that all the threads in here are the building plans for my car I should have never said the K&N intake works great without a tune

 

OP i feel ya. its harder to find new LNF development cause everyones reinventing the wheel.

 

I hear ya, But dont it make you feel good that you were one of the first and you Helped out sooo many LNF owners? Try to look at it from another angle

 

Speaking of, did anyone see the mythbusters episode lastweek about the square wheels?? lol OK back to our regularly scheduled discussion

robk

 

So what if they all look the same, if we left the car stock we'd all look the same anyway. Not like we are all riding around in the same place at the same time with our hoods open. Lol just tell the guy what works the best on the car since alot of use have tried a few different things and call it a day. Not everyone cares about being unique, LNfs are few and far between enough that we hardly ever seen another one anyway

 

Wiseco Pistons, Carillo Rods, Supertech Valve Springs, ZZP Cams w/ fuel lobe, ZZP 5th injector, E85, full Pedders Coilover suspension, Custom Stainless Steel tubular manifold and a PTE 5857 w/ MBC set to 33Psi.

 

Lol

 

OK awesome I alredy had planned on getting the K&N and charge pipe. Dont worry though, Ive got Hahn catback and Ill be catless, and my accesories will be different color than yours

Does anyone really believe that Im a newb?

 

Nah, sell it quickly and buy a Z06.

 

It's so awesome to finally know the person responsible for all of the Cobalts sporting K&N SRIs. You are such an innovator, trend setter and inspiration.

Forget the fact that K&N designed, tested, created, packaged, marketed and sold the item. Of course people wouldn't have bought the K&N without you introducing it to the market. I'm sure that the sound had nothing to do with it. Even with K&N including a card for any dealership to call K&N if the SRI is blamed for any breakdowns, people would not have bought it until you said it works without a tune. K&N owes you money.

Also, you invented the most common mod path? Holy CRAP! Did you just invent the intake/downpipe mod path or are you also responsible for intercoolers and charge piping? What other products does the world have to thank you for?

Did you invent the internet?

Guess what. Those new mint M&Ms are good. Just bought some at 7-11. If they turn out to be a success.... it's due to me. I'm the one who said they were safe to eat and tasted good. Remember that. I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SUCCESS OF MINT M&Ms (If they are successful that is).

 

hello sarcasm, meet sarcasm. how are you?

 

Yeah, I figured you weren't serious after typing all that but.... I just spent so much time putting it together that I damn sure wasn't gonna delete it.

I am STILL responsible for the success of mint M&Ms.

 

^^^ this! Lol
