Hey guys, I was just curious to see what turbos some of y'all are running other than stock, I plan on upgrading mine soon, trying to figure out which route to go.

 

https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/08-1...thread-287399/

that's a good place to start..

 

What do you want from the car?

 

the easiest upgrade with awesome gains. zzp zfr. efr 6758 bb turbo.

 

6758 is the ZFR

 

I heard that was a good turbo, saw a bunch on here, and on YouTube.

 

Ok but it could be totally wrong for you what are you looking for??

 

Looking for something good for the track and the street. Basically for a daily driver.

 

ZFR, just have a trans ready.

 

See my sig lol

 

true story, he could go with a 252et instead of the zfr and maybe he wouldn't need the trans

 

Or boost ramp the zfr. My torque comes in smoother on zfr with boost ramp than on k04. And drive it right. Zfr is so loud lol just sounds like a gigantic sucking vortex of death

 

That's one thing I'm looking forward too is the sound lol I've seen a few cobalts with 6 speeds, that sounds fun lol

 

Most of us are biased lol, I am happy with my ZFR. Tuned myself for 25psi, E47, on an LSJ 4.05 tranny ($800) and a ky stage 3 clutch. Daily driven, and as far as i would be willing to push a stock motor and as far as I'm willing to push this platform. Over 400whp is plenty for FWD.

 

if you want to save some money, just wait a bit longer, as soon as zzp releases the 7163 people will be selling ZFR's. I know i will be selling mine. But i would imagine - late fall next spring unless ZZP totally surprises us all.

 

I tuned gunney07 on a S-256 and 93 and I think his trans is still ok. There is a lot left in the turbo though only at 85% wg duty cycle.

 

What trans would you guys recommend with the zfr if I happen to need it?

 

Depends on your budget

 

I'm sure the 252et would be plenty of power for most people, even the zfr on 20-22lbs is more than plenty for most.

 

I'm still here and ok for now! I have a spare LSD trans and 4.45 gears to send to Powell when I have the cash. I actually just put some drag radials on so I have some damn traction.

 

How do you like the 256? I'm thinking of going that route later down the road.

 

I like it, it has a non stop top end. I just wish I had the money for they parts to rev it out to 8k.

 

That would be awesome. S1 cams with big fuel lobe and E-47 would be great as well. Have you brought it to the track with the S-256 yet? If so what did it trap on 93?

 

No track time yet, but I will soon on DR, then ill swap to the lsj brakes and slicks.
Their is no Ethanol anywhere close to me =( ,but, 55 gal of 110 might be doable someday.

 

I am curious what it will trap on 93. I know the 4.45 gear set will make it even faster as it made Wert's car a lot faster on his 60-100 times.
