OK big question guys and gals..I am building a lil project cobalt and need to know from someone that has a 2.6 pulley if i need to change the head gasket and head studs...I have cooling mods and water meth kit...So please let me know because if so i am prolly gonna stick with a 2.7...

 

Stick with the 2.7 and get yourself a really nice tune.

 

you won't need a head gasket or studs.

I have a 2.6 installed. I didnt have to change anything. Except for my 60lb injectors, cooling mods, and a good tune. The oe head hasket is doing GREAT!

 

sweet guys that what i needed to here and once i get a couple more good replys i am gonna go with the 2.6....What kinda boost should i be looking at with the 2.6

 

19~20 psi

 

Nice that works for me...

 

I still have to put mine on. I need to also install my cooling mods asap.

 

Well, you know my recommendation for the build. I'm sticking to it.

 

headstuds and gasket arent that expensive of a mod that would proably help out with your build.

approx $95 for the Cosmetic 2.0L head gasket

approx $140 for ARP Headstuds

 

What style system is it? If you need, I would be happy to make the 2.6 for you.

Nate

 

Sure is, that is why I recommended it!

You can get teh Cometic gasket for $90 shipped and Golden Eagle headstuds which are better than the ARP ones for $120 shipped.

 

Im getting 20 pounds of boost with my 2.8 lol
