As many know I am trying to get everything together for the 300+hp build. I got a response today that is both good and bad, sort of. Here is the response.


Hi, Rod.
Thanks for your e-mail. It sounds like you are looking for a specific parts list for the 300hp build, is that correct? I don't have anything already made-up that I can shoot over to you, but will forward your request on and see what we can do. Note that we are working on a build book for the ECOtec Supercharged motor that will have all kinds of information. Look for that late this year. I do know that the 300hp cal is not currently available, but we are working on an 'off-road box' that we will make for sale. We are a little ways off from being ready with that.

You might want to take a look at our new Stage Two kit (P/N 17803229). It includes higher-flow fuel injectors, a smaller supercharger pulley and drive belt, and an ECU calibration. The result of this kit is 241 hp and 218 lb.-ft. of torque across a broad engine speed range. Plus, you can keep your warranty.

Hello

I hope that you can help. I own a 2005 Cobalt SS\SC and I am interested In building up my engine. I have read the 300+hp build articles on the GM Performance Division website. I have also read up on the Time Attack Cobalt's. I am interested in following the 300+hp build but while some specifications were give they are not complete enough to get all the right parts. There is also a dyno chart at the end of part 4 of the article that shows a 7850rpm redline.
Is there anyway to get the specs sheet on this build so the performance shop I am going to can follow an already done GM build? As well is it possible to buy a copy of the already existing tune for the 300+hp build in the article at http://www.gmperformancedivision.com.../23/ecotec.pdf having it sent to my dealer in which I bought my car so they can install it after all the other parts are installed.
To be clear I am not expecting to build my engine up with my warranty intact. I am attempting to simply follow a GM engineer's blueprint on how to get more performance out of my GM Performance car.
Your help esponse is immensely appreciated. Thank you in advance.

hotness, i see he didn't say anything about the 7850 redline. unless he was refering to the 300 hp cal.

 

That is what he is referring to. But I am not giving up and I just sent him another email

 

Why would a GM email address go to AOL? That doesn't make any sense.

 

What do I care if it makes sense. Why don't you just say I'm lying? Try the email and see if it's valid. This address was pulled right of a GM site.


PS go to page 154 of the ecotec build book

 

I must have came off wrong, I wasn't trying to say you were lying. I was just wondering why GM would be using AOL.

 

I'd vouch for Vic, believe me he knows his sh*t...also i work for a truck-freight brokerage firm and all our emails end in @telus.net, which is our service provider so the AOL address doesn't mean sh*t

 

Man, I can't wait to get my hands on that build book! Keep us posted on the happenings of greatness!

 

That book has been out on PDF for quite sometime now, and holy **** this thread was revived from the dead!

 

Sorry to wake up another dead post but GM did come out with the 2.0 LSJ Power Book. The part number for the book is 88958686. It IS different from the Sport Compact Build Book part number 88958728.

 

Waking a dead thread without a link to the afore mentioned book (for future member's builds) is a big

 

Plus, Rod is a little past that by now.

 

^ hahhaa, i was like wait, they already have that book out. but i had to look at the post date

 

Just a tiny bit, still I modded my previous post

 

who the hell bumped this old ass thread.

Totally threw me off tho... I thought "damn, did he give up on his project"

 

lol threw me off a bit too... 300hp? maybe per cylinder lol

 

 

stop bringing back dead threads people.
