oh god this thread... super 20g .. pauls dyno....

i came

well it's 1245 now.. paul should be rolling..

 

Yeah I know, but if you knew what I have at my finger tips, you would see why my patience level is on the verge! It's not like I'm going to be back in the states for another 2 months or so anyhow!

 

Nothing so far, other than our 3" SS Exhaust. We specifically wanted a virgin car for this purpose. He'll be doing a clutch soon, and prob axles later, as well as PortFueler, for it's his intention to run some stout numbers at the track (he wants to match the performance of of our SRT-4, which ran 11.80's on street tires)...but so far, the stock clutch has held.

 

PM me a price on the tuner kit I asked for Please Bill Please!

I can't wait to see the results of his kit. It sounds awesome!

 

Amazing. PURELY amazing...

IRS needs to hurry up with my moneys...

 

Tick Tock Tick Tock

 

um, I will post later tonight what happened. Lets just say today was not a good day for cobalts
(my car still lives though)

 

:'( uh oh .. at least it's still alive though

 

I demand a report, what happened?

 

things just didnt go well today.
One cobalt caught on fire... Don't ask me how, but it wasn't good.
My car, is missing some power, and We can't quite figure out what's wrong right now. Still driving fine though

 

Yikes! Cobalt on fire = bad. Hopefully your car finds it's lost ponies though! I'll have to check back in the morning for me. Time to go to bed now!

 

Damn dude, hope you find out whats going on!

 

tell me thats not mike (trix)

 

Losing power sounds like your losing compression.

 

I dunno though, car pulled so much harder than that, Either the dyno was off, which I think it was, or my car has some unhappy internals, but still runs and drives pretty much fine

 

car on fire? thats never good....

 

well figured out what the issue was..... Mike's car is 100% dialed in now, and wiring has been fixed.
Note to everyone, check the power wire to the starter for chafing, seriously.
'll be working on my car tomorrow, will update condition/

 

airflow differences i bet...

static VS dynamic.

let me know if you need any thing/help paul.

good luck.

 

thanks man, but I finally got it figured out.... gonna be messing with my car tomorrow and see what is wrong.... and it was mike's car (trix) that caught on fire, damn power lead to the starter got cut somehow (we never went near this during turbo install) **** just went up in flames.... was pretty scary lol.

 

how bad is the damage

 

wasn't bad at all actually. It looked a lot worse when it was flaming up and smoking... some hose, electrical tape. and it was all good. Car is running like a champ now.
My car on the other hand is yet to be known, taking it to work with me to test out a new tune on it and will spend the rest of the day going over everything. I dunno it seems to be fine, but the power drop was rediculous.... like 70whp rediculous. hopefully I'll have the vids up tomorrow

 

maybe its a boost leak?

 

That's what i'm thinking/hoping...Paul, you still didn't run out of maf yet?

 

nope that's actully all good now, well at least on trix's car it's all dialed in, no more IDC spike, smoothed evrything out, perfect afr in all gears, my car's turn tomorrow.
Need to check for boost leaks tomorrow, but I was reading 21psi at the MAP sensor

 

Does the car actually pull like it lost 70whp? I would think that you would notice 70whp missing by the seat of your pants though. Other than the dyno being off, I think there should be no reason unless your rings or something is starting to go finally. Hope you figure it out Paul.
