If he does release it, it's gonna be setup exactly like my car, external wastegate with dump, blow through maf setup. As for turbo options, I don't think he's going to order an upgrade, as getting this one to fit properly was a big enough pain in the ass. but I will talk to him next friday and see what he says

 

I was just going to do a custom setup with a GT28 but, after looking at Rebel's Group Buy price, it actually isn't that bad of a deal. Especially if their new custom exhaust manifold works out, that thing looks very nice.

But if CA can get a better price with a close setup, I would be there.

 

I'll be hitting the dyno in 2 weeks so we shall see what kinda numbers this setup makes

 

do you have any vids at wot yet?

 

not yet. Vid camera is still acting up. Hopefully next week sometime. Don't really have any time lately

 

I don't know about the pistons, but the rods are no problem. You could probably talk to Diamond and have them make you a set of LSJ pistons with the 21mm wrist pin. Since they already make the LSJ pistons, I don't see why they couldn't make one with the smaller wrist pin without too much, if any extra charges.

 

good idea man. I'll see about that, But wouldn't the 2.2 pistons be the same bore and whatnot? cause if they do work, I"ll probably be buying those in a week or two and getting my motor finally assembled

 

They should be the same bore according to the GM Spec sheets. Talk to Diamond, they make pistons for both. They would know best.

 

will do

 

i've decided i'm going with the rebel kit as well, bear in mind the group buy prices are over now.

 

what was there prices at? and what are they at now? im hoping kenny releases this kit just cause i'd really like to see a well put together turbo kit at a reasonable price

 

the old prices are in this thread:https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/2-0l-lsj-performance-tech-47/rebel-auto-worxs-turbo-kit-group-buy-72861/

he hasn't pm'd me back with the new ones yet, based on the thread i'd imagine 500 more on each stage.

 

personally i've meet kenny and a few of the guys from CA. i'd much rather deal with them. well have to wait and see.

 

Can't wait to see what happens with the new engine. It's going to be a beast.

 

So i was searching through the thread, but couldnt find it, what exactly was wrong with the maf sensor?

 

the piping is too small (2.5") need it to be 3", increased velocity is pegging the sensor out almost immediatly

 

ah, ok i gotcha, and and ur running a t3/t4 tubo?

 

apparently

 

and how is the lag?

 

not too bad, full spool by @4000 rpm, making @7-10 psi at 3k and so on. but once that thing hits it's all over. (on 14 psi and low timing it was already faster than my s/c setup on 21psi)

 

Turbo Boost > Supercharger Boost

Dans car @ 15lbs was definitely quicker than mine now.

Quick question, what did you do to the SCIP Sensor that is usually on top of the blower? Just ignore it?

 

I just disconneted it and shut off the cel code.
I'm gonna try planing with PE today to see if thats why the car is dumping fuel. Just realized I still have it set to come in a 2500 rpm from the s/c tune. That might be a factor since I'm only at like 3 psi vs 15-17 with the s/c. I'll delay to 3500 or 4000 or so and see what happens. hopefully it works cause I want to dyno on the 21st, and may run it this sunday at e-town if I can get it running right.

 

I was planning on using the same turbo t3/t4 57 trim, because i can get one through a friend for hella cheap new. I'm only looking to run 15-16lbs of boost. How much do you think the stock internals can handle?

 

well I've been running 18psi with no issues cept for to much fuel. I'm gonna try running around 21-23 psi with meth and see what happens

 

cool, what do you think about having the turbo mouned off the downpipe instead of a turbo manifold?
