hopefully have everything done soon, warm weather is coming, which = lots of work for me which in turn = money. WOOT!!. I have every damn part imaginable sitting in my house, just need to get some extra cash together to put it all together lol. Buying a house next year so 80% of all my income from my full time job goes to that, whatever I make on the side tuning, and working on cobalts is how I pay for my car lol. It's getting there though, soon, before the summer at least, everything should be done.

 

Paul you has PM-ski

 

Yes the motor was sent out to a local shop. They put the new bottom end together. The only things that were changed were the pistons and headstuds. Everything else is still JBP stuff.

 

why did you have to re-do the motor?

 

is jpb worth it ? as far as the head and valve tran

 

look what showed up today

 

How much did you pay for that?

 

enough lol

 

no portfueler option............ quiter lol

 

Can you please post a picture with the water cooling of the turbo hooked up. I am interested in the routing of the lines for my own project.

dont try and look for it or anything.....

tap one of the heater hose's, and the coolant bottle return. done.

 

Cracked the block and sleeve of the 4th cylinder.... Then wanted/needed way lower compression pistons for the high boost Im going to run!

No they are not. Have it done at a local machinist/engine builder and buy the valvetrain components needed and have them do it all!

 

Wonder if the will sell those fittings and hard lines to make that work?

 

i talked to ATP because there one of the larger garrett distributors and they said no dice.

if you go to any good fitting place you'll be able to make one.

a hydraulic supply store will do fine, or if you can find a place that specializes in AN fittings you can make one there as well.

you'll need one "T" thats 3/4, 3/4, 5/8

thats the hard one to find that "feeds" the turbo, the return is easy to find.

 

^^ He isn't lying we drove EVERY WERE trying to find that fitting.

 

Yeah... GM said the sleeves were only good for 400-450hp... so I figured that would be something that you would run into. Looks damn good though!

 

i knew it would have been a waste, thanks for the second opinion.

 

any pics of the portfueler actually hooked up, in all those theres just a blank fuel rail there

 

Cracked the block....... DAMN!

 

Do you want someone who has the most experience working on your Ecotec head??
If you said yes then, YES JBP is worth it.
Joe and I won't agree on this but I won't go into the reasons for that here.

 

once I get my unit there will be lol.
I was thinking of ditching the stock fuel system all together and just running those as my promary injectors til the port fueler computer is ready, how you guys think that will work out?

 

Yeah I want to see that portfueler. And i'm still confused as to how you tune the extra injectors? They say they give you a controller/module to tune the injectors with...but how do you actually use that controller/module? Paul, one of these days i'm going to have to take a ride back to LI and see your setup

 

from what I can decipher, looks like it's a seperate computer that is basically a speed density stand alone fuel computer... I think it just runs off MAP and RPM based readings and you set the fueling probably via a laptop based software and cable and your wideband of course.
definitely gotta head out here again man, haven't seen ya in a long long time lol. We still have our usualy friday night meets, so feel free to join man, I'm always out there with my car. Hopefully this weekend I'll actually have some free time to work on my own car for once and finally get some much needed maintence work done.

 

Here is my present i got in the mail yesterday thanks to UPS enjoy guys......

 

WOW...speachless
