i'm not pissed.. just not the right spot for this dicussion and i will delete my posts..

 

No need to do that..this is an open forum.

 

I had heard that ZZP was at some point working on a transmission deal too irrc this car has it... but the package was never (or maybe just not yet) released...
4.45:1 fdr??
(iirc SS/SC = 4.05:1 FDR / SS?TC = 3.84:1 FDR)

 

Cobalt & Ion ---> ZZ Performance

 

Why do you say that? I can assure you brake boosting can have a big impact in acceleration on the stock turbo. The trick is that you don't want to be spooling the crap out of the thing when you're doing it. 5-8lbs is plenty, just as long as you have positive manifold pressure.

For what's breaking these transmissions....wheels spinning, hard acceleration/spinning wheels over uneven/broken/jointed surfaces, power shifting (I really hate the NLS term/acronym), wheel hop. Driveline bits don't like to be heavily loaded and unloaded quickly and repetitively.

 

The NLS term/acronym is to help distinguish it from powershifting, because NLS isn't powershifting.

Sure, the motion is the same, but when done correctly, you aren't shifting under full power due to software spark cut, and therefore aren't power..shifting.

People can mess up an NLS and end up with a powershift or a mis-shift, which can in turn damage the transmission, sure, but that's a driver mod issue there. I agree with your assessment on the other tranny issues though.

 

Back on to the topic of the new EFR turbo setup from ZZP...

 

yup

Still wondering if I could buy the adapted flange standalone.

 

Still wondering the ETA on this beast

 

Since when?????

 

Since March the 28th @ ~1:22PM Central. lol

 

This would be so siiick but it would also prevent the sale of an entire kit and it would loose a lot of room for profits ..



I highly doubt that you will be able to buy the stand alone unless someone else makes one .,

then it's pretty much end game

 

I had to go back a page. Howd I miss that post?! lol

 

Bump for an update on the release/availability timeline and price range.

Any info would be great, some of us have to save for and pre-plan for purchases like this.


Thanks,

+ 1 sir

 

I just want to add my 2cent on the stock tranny issue, I pull 517WTQ on my stock tranny with a ZZP Stage 4+ clutch, Fidanza aluminum flywheel and new throwout bearing.. I don't beat on her on the street, just on the track.

My tranny got warranty service work twice in the 60k miles i've owned her:

1st for the snapped shift control cable (in a digg at 4k)

2nd in 2010' labor day weekend, for "cooking the tranny oil", smelt tranny oil a day later, (possible from back to back track runs in the afternoon heat), the service manager pulled apart the tranny and found no metal, cracks or worn gears, also no cracks/leaks on the tranny case, but tested the tranny oil, it was "over heated". The dealer put in 75w95 weight, but later flushed & changed it to Royal Purple Max Gear Synthetic Gear Oil 75W90 (GM Master service tech made that call) and haven't had any problems in the last 8 months since then. She shifts smoooth as butter.

Also, if anyone can correct me - I believe Ryan@ZZP pulling over 500 on his LSJ tranny? LSJ & LNF have similar trannys.

 

sub'd

 

Same tranny, different final drive IIRC.

 

Can we get and update ZZP? I'm gettin antsy for this turbo!!
