Ok so let me get this straight for my worrisome ass.

My plan is to skip stage II and go for just equivalent mods + dyno tune.

As far as I'm aware, I'll be needing...

Pulley (2.85 sound good?) http://www.smoothflowpulleys.com/Stage2.html
Injectors (Thinking 60's) http://www.zzperformance.com/cobalt_...=578&catid=143
Shorter belt (Hoping I can find that seperatly somewhere) http://www.crateenginedepot.com/stor...3-P1592C0.aspx
Spark Plugs (Can't remember the name, the ones everyone says to get) http://www.zzperformance.com/cobalt_...=490&catid=143

***** I'VE MISSED SO FAR*
Injector Harness http://www.zzperformance.com/cobalt_...ts1.php?id=516
Hub for the smaller pulley (included with nates pulley)
Cooling (didn't really forget it, but yeah)
Puller https://www.zzperformance.com/cobalt...=199&catid=142

And a custom dyno tune from my local tuner shop.

I KNOW I am missing something. So let me have it :E


And yes, I know, "search, *******!"

But hey, I never get to make a new thread

EDIT: Got all the pieces of the puzzle together, I believe. I'll do the cooling a wee bit later.

 

You can buy the stage 2 belt seperately at a dealership in parts thats what I did

 

Excellent, thank you.

 

bkr7e is the ngk number
stock number
6097

 

Outstanding, the ever helpful Area47

 

wil it be cheaper then the stg 2 kit?

 

Where is a good price range for a tune?

 

Make sure you get the correct injector harness for the type of injector your going with

 

Irrevalent, considering every GM dealer within 60 miles of me either says "We don't do that" or "What is a stage II..."

Besides, word on the 'street' is you get more power, safer, cheaper, going about it this way.

 

You will also need a pulley puller if your doing it yourself and a hub/pulley setup, not just the pulley

 

Arr, that rings a bell. That I'll search for.

I can do the pulley myself, but I might just have the tuner shop do it, dunno. Do you know offhand if Nate does the hub/pulley assembly or just the pulley? And if not, where the **** do I get a hub D:

 

if u really wanted some extra cooling go with a cobra H/E butother then that i think everyone else has everything u need covered! good luck

 

I'll be getting cooling mods sooner or later, I just want to get the basic upgrades first. IIRC 2.85 shouldn't need cooling... I think.

 

Cooling is always a good thing. Plan on investing in a cobra h/e.

Also you will need a hub/pulley combo, ZZP has them for $100 and im not sur how much nates are, check the supporting vendors section.

 

Look in the forsale section for some cheap new/used parts.

 

buy a pulley from nate, strongly suggested, i got mine (2.9) shipped to my door (canada) all for $60 and its quality work...

 

Gotcha.

And I'll peek in our classifieds as well.

I was planning on going with Nates already

edit: I dont know him

 

Here is your shopping list:

Injectors

Injector Harness

Use "Step TWO" of THIS howto, for the injector install

GM Stage 2 belt

Modular Pulley System

ZZP Pulley Puller

You can follow THIS howto for the pulley change.

And the plugs that Area stated that can be picked up at a local Napa store

Edit:

Cobra H/E

Cobra H/E Brackets

You will also need hose and misc fitting's, read THIS howto for the fitting and install

 

Pretty much what I edited into my OP, except I'll be going with Nates hub/pulley assy. Lemme see who's cheaper as far as that belt goes between CED and ZZP.

Thanks for the effort that took though, I do appreciate it ;o

 

are those the one step colder or two steps? I want to get the two step colder iridiums.

 

My complete pulley systems (stainless steel hub, billet aluminum pulley, stainless hardware, and an allen wrench) are 90.00 for machined finish or 95.00 for polished. I also offer a pulley puller/install tool to purchase for 90.00 or rent for 42.00 including pre-paid return postage.

You should be seeing an order within the next week or so Nate. I plan on purchasing the 2.85 pulley/hub combo.
