Bill suggested I make a separate post about this so here it is. I'm about a week away from finishing my super20G conversion for the LSJ in an Ariel Atom. A bunch of former Brammo Ariel Atom engineers at Unique Fabricating in Oregon are finishing my build. They race cobalts too so I'd recommend them to you guys.

Originally it was a 300hp supercharged LSJ but unfortunately due to poor supercharger cooling it would heat soak pretty quickly on the track and loose a ton of power. So being half crazy already I decided to turbocharge it. Then decided to go a little crazy and turbocharge with with high compression, race gas and methanol injection. Then somewhere down the line I lost all concept of reality and did quite a bit more upgrades than planned but oh well

Thanks to Bill Hahn for helping me out and putting together a custom kit pretty quickly for me. He's a good guy!

Here are the list of most of the upgrades (I think):

Engine:
* Crower rods
* Arias custom pistons 10:1
* upgraded valves and ferrea valve springs
* cometic gasket
* ARP head studs
* balance shaft elimination kit

Turbo
* Hahn intake manifold.
* Hahn Racecraft turbo kit super 20G with custom exhaust manifold
* TTS intercooler build just for the Atom
* heat dispersant coating added to intercooler

Methanol injection
* Perrin Performance wi kit. plan to run 49%51% meth/ water
* custom stainless 2 gallon tank

Clutch
* Exedy hyper single kit.

ECU
* I have a stock cobalt ECU working with HP tuners.

Fuel System
* Walbro GSS342 high pressure fuel pump
* return flow system with aeromotive fuel regulator and filter
* 71 lbs injectors

Paddle shifter
* www.mastershift.com (works with the cobalt transmission)

Exhaust
* 3" custom with edelbrock repackable muffler

so when you break the speed of light let me know what the future is like...

 

damn... that is gonna be one fast car!

 

looks sweet, that paddle shift looks bad ass.

 

Hey! Those rods look familiar!

Dude, if you built the motor, why didn't you go with the GT35R kit? That would be stupidly insane. 600 whp @ 1300 lbs!?!? OMFG IT DEFYS PHYSICS!!!!

Are you using the stock cams?

 

WOW, i have a new dream car haha

 

Yes Yes Yes.

 

Wanted to minimize turbo tag on such a light car. It is hard enough to handle as it is. Plus I should get pretty close to 800hp/ton. that should be enough

Stock cams

 

Thats Bad Ass

 

how much did you pay for the paddle shifter setup?

 

How much gear you got in that thing? Cuz I think your going to run out before your done accelerating.

 

they start around $2K I believe, got mine free from my builder though as a sponsor

 

damn i need a sponsorship!

 

holy sickness!

 

We must have video when completed.
I have looked at getting one of those but the wife hasnt approved yet lol.
That is going to be really sick man.
