I like this...thank for adding another thing to my todo list..lol

I also am goin to be building a totaly different suspension for my cobalt after my car becomes the weekend racer again.lol

 

I wouldn't say that

 

Now its a party. Lol

 

I am shocked.

 

Can't we all agree to disagree on the NBS subject?

 

not tryin to argue, just pointing out the build book and what i have expirienced.

not trying to start an arguement or trash up the OPs thread

 

you can not sustain rpms above 7500 on stock shafts. over time after repeated runs {drag racing} to 8k rpms it will elongate the bearings and you will run into issues later on down the road.

 

What issues did you have with them?

 

nice build and great read! only read the OP so far

 

Thanks man, you need to check out my FS thread btw

 

bull **** your shocked lol

were not arguing were discussing

2 things you need to have for the engine to live at high rpm ops is a better balancer and nbs

when the bearing elongates you will run into a loss of oil pressure which will lead to a seizure of the balance shaft or shafts or main or rod bearing carnage and possibly block destruction

he had a zzp nbs seize up in the block

 

wish there was an electric water pump option that bolted in place of the stock WP cavity

 

Why does the ATI have to be so damn expensive.

 

Look at it this way....

A popped motor would be more expensive

 

that's the one thing I wish i had as well. Definitely will have one in the future.

 

lmao

 

I'm one of the last people you need to tell that to lol. It's on the list. Until then, lower revs.

 

must have

 

Just like NBS or delete

 

full circle...

 

Lol well really. How many people have spun their motors with stock balance shafts? Lots. How many people have spun their motors with the stock damper? Lots. You say an ATI is a must have but NBS or delete isn't because of a technicality in the build book, yet GM sells them for a reason. Comes down to the chances you take and if you're willing to take it.

 

whats the part number on those keystones?

 

30KEYs4me

 

Well lets say one seized and caused the chain to snap..
I dont think zzp took into consideration that the oem ones r hardened and ground and there's is just steel..the expansion and contraction rates r totaly different between the 2..i think it expanded and locked up against the bearing. I couldn't get it out to see exactly wat happened.

 

Huh that's interesting. Did you ask them about it?
