When are you going to get your car back

Darksun

not really it depends on what your mods are. Think of it this way the only power adders in the kit are the pulley. The injectors and map clamp won't really add any power unless you lean everything out to all hell. It more there to make sure everything is safe. so if you have a 3.0 pulley and intake you'd be very close to the intense kit. but the thing is he can run a better safer air fuel than you and tune the hp curve better. You'd just be at the mercy of the stock injectors. Intense kit is still the better route right now if you want to beable to keep modding and still have some tuning options. Like me I've hit a wall and can't get any exhaust or intakes or a header casue im at 243whp but my air fuel is a 13.4 which is not cool by anymeans. If i had the intense kit i could be running richer thus leaving me the option to put on my exhaust and header and go more twards 260whp.

my car is stock, i used to run a 55 shot but took it off for the winter, and he thought i sprayed on him but when we got back to the parking lot i popped my trunk and showed him it wasn't there, he was really dissappointed and so was i because i was about to buy the kit too. he said it needs to be tuned.

Darksun

By tune he means just lean it out to all hell. The cars used to running a 10.3-11.6 a/f up till 5000 rpms than the stock injectors just max out. imean im not saying the kit is bad cause i might actually pick it up but the injectors and maf translator don't bring a lot to the table. Its the pully with full header back exhaust and a nice 12.1 a/f that has people at 260 wheel hp. Honestly though i can see 260 wheel being easy enough to get to but once you try going to 270 and higher i don't see it happening with out some more timming or sumthing. Basically what the gm stage 1 flash will give you. I'm on a 3.0 pully and i can see myself getting to 260 wheel easy but even if i drop to a 2.8 pully all that will happen is that my TQ will come up but hp will probly stay around the same for the most part.

whats the boost bypass mod???

carbombss

that was me i came to find out later that when i went to gut my cat it was all clogged

Ljavy17

badmunky, yes I did take the supercharger off and the hardest part of the install for us was to take off the belt.
Memphis i dont think ive detected any slip yet. I mean How do YOu detect slip when it does happen.what does it do
I do plan on getting a a belt tensioner from zzperformance.

campo165

hence the name carbombss? haha, that sucks.

1stbluSS

if you start to hear squeking and it doesnt go away after your car is warmed up check for belt slip.

around the 19+ mark is the 2.7

you'll be able to hear it when your doing a pull (aka, the normal whine then it sounds like it dies out)...plus youll see your boost go to 17 (whatever you max out at) and it'll go back down to like 15 or less without you ever letting off the gas...

Hey Ljavy17, glad to see you like you kit. I'm thinking about getting one myself. Does your clutch slip at all? I've got Intake and Exhaust and mine doesn't slip yet with 12000kms on it. Don't wanna change out the clutch yet.

Ljavy17

blacksssc I got over 10k miles in my cobalt. As long as you dont launch your car ur good to go. all i do is punch it in second gear +. and the clutch wil last till i get my stg 2.

Ljavy17, please compare the power to other cars that you have driven. What would you say the pull is on par with now? Maybe an LS1 Camaro, GTO, Stage 2 SRT-4, etc? Also please give us your best guess on what your 1/4 mile might be. Do you think the intense kit is enough to cut a full second off for a time around 13.6? I know these are just guesses but I'd like to hear your thoughts. Anyone else with the intense kit please chime in too!

BlackSS/SC

Ljavy17 Are you getting Satge 2 or Stage 2+?

Ljavy17

my friend in the rsx type s with headers intake and exhaust ran a 14.1 at the track, yesterday I raced him from a 40mph and I pulled over 4 to 5 cars on him to 120. So This car is deff capable of hitting high 12s or low 13s with this setup with DRs and motor mounts. I mean the car pulls sooo strong on 1st and 2nd gear that if you get traction in both, itll rip 12s.

Gramps

videos now!

Ljavy17

i uploaded the videos to cobaltss.net from you send it.com and nothing showed up, I think im gona try another way when i get home.,

RedBaseBolt

Evilfrog

Do you have a guage to monitor your air/fuel?

I get my car back at the end of march I belive. Maybe even sooner. I already have my 2.8 supercharger pulley so as soon as I get my car back, i'm going to order the kit, put the supercharger pulley on it and then put the kit on it. That's all i'm going to be doing to the car. Well after probably a cluttch but i'm not going to be beating on the clutch that much.

BullDog71ss

13.4-13.5 at best, even with traction.

korax123

you will need more then 250hp to hit 12's.

memphisr24

I agree. More like 300whp and above with dr's
