Some LNF #'s w/ upgrades
 

Via the solstice forums:

stock LNF 239whp
Hahn BSR tuner only 258whp
BSR tuner w/ upgraded intercooler 268whp.

All on stock intake and stock exhaust.

ok the fact they had smoothing at 5 and did a run w/ shifts is just retarded.

NTM does anybody even know what ECU the 'balt will have? if it's the same then the "bsr tuner" may be compatible (barring dif OSs), if it's dif then this whole thread is (likely) moot.

Either way, with the Cobey being turbo, I believe that there will be some pretty decent potential involved, ESPECIALLY if GM made adjustments to the drivetrain to correct some issues that were had such as the tapered axles.

I think this is good news, the turbo Cobalt part of it that is. lol

The Solstice auto will not stay in gear, it'll auto shift up once you reach a certain point. It makes it very hard to do dyno runs on autos.

It's the same ECU as the Solstice GXP;

lmao that is not going to be good. atleast what im getting from all the info i have read that if you turn the boost up your going to screw your turbo in the long run because it is too small. if you want to push higher PSI you need to swap turbos.

True, but at least the LNF cobalt guys won't have to be the guinea pigs like the LSJ guys are. They can look and see what works and doesn't work from the RL and GXP owners.

those numbers are okjay...we got some ss/sc pushing 280-290whp

ding ding!

yes that'd be you

im just one of a handfull actually

lets revisit this once the LNF cobalt has been out for 3 YEARS!!

Go back and look at the ss/sc # from 2005, early 2006 we weren't in the 280-290 range.

I believe that the spring rates were changed probably to reduce wheel hop..axles may be the same

Im going to quote from another thread:

Show me an LSJ running almost 260whp from a tune alone. The guys running those numbers with the LSJ's are running delicate tunes w/ full bolt-ons and meth injection. Not to mention the Cobalt with the LNF will see higher numbers due to less drivetrain loss.

thats why you swap to a twinscrew..

Yeah lets go spend 3k on what 30whp?

No doubt . For us , its a bit more involved than playing with the computer .....I think that was the point .

does this thing come with a front mount. I ouldnt tell in the picture all that well. If it does that seals the deal, tommorow at work ill talk to the sales manager.

yeah ive NEVER seen the axel's crack. i HAVE granaded a driver side axel at the inner CV (the one that slide's into the hub) i hope they redisgned everything. espically the trans housing.. cause some poeple were cracking tranny housing's BEFORE snapping an axel. and ending up with a voided warrenty for racing.

yes it does

Yeah, I thought I broke an axel at the track but it ended up being the housing on my 06. They threw the V word at me and I talked them into fixing it under warranty. But yes. New and improved (hopefully) axles will be good. Hopefully the new motor mounts wont be oil filled either.

thank god my eyes werent decieving me, A nice frount mount is all really wanted. I wonder what month exxactly these will be hitting the lots. Since I do all the PDI's at work, as soon as we get some Ill get a video and post that up. Better get my finances in order. Tradeing in my 05 2.2L for this would sure be nice.

^^ Think April'ish . 2nd quarter is april/may/june . They should have a more specific date by the autoshow season .

OMG .... a sporty car thats being released in the dead of winter ( solstice , 05 vette ect )

i put down over 260 with a stage 2 pulley, intake and a cat back, and a race gas tune

hell i put down over 260 with a 2.8, stock tune, and an intake.

how is the drivetrain loss in the lnf cars less than the lsj?
