Well as some of you may know i found out earlier this month that i have a crack in my block. I was about to just say **** it and part out and sell everything but thanks to some close friends from this community i decided to change my mind and go in a different direction.

My current mods are:
ZZP/Hahn Turbo swap kit with s252et
ZZP 3" exhaust
Hahn Catless Downpipe
89# injectors
Ingals TD
A guy named ryan tuned

What i have that will be going in this month:
ZZP Forged 2.1 LSJ GEN 3 Short Block
ZZP neutral balance shafts
ATI SFI turbo balancer
ZZP 4340 rods
JE 9.5:1 pistons
ARP Head Studs

What i will be getting while the cars under the knife:
Ky Stage 3 clutch
BYT Tuned (after everythings together with the new clutch)


Future Plans:
Ported Head
Stage 2 turbo cams
S259et
78lb valve springs


I will be posting pics as i go and get things more put together but all i have now is a shot from a friend of mine with the top end not in.

 

89# injectors? And I wasnt aware BYT still tuned. Either way good luck!

 

Good luck with things man. Looks like a good list.

What are you goals with the new build?

 

right now just to get the thing up and running and well. Then i want 500whp thats my goal.

And yea byt is back. i just dont know how much hes gonna be doing

 

Let us know how he is.

 

ive been tuned before when i was supercharged but not yet for the turbo

 

Sounds like a solid plan man! Consider the S256 et as well. It can hit 500 with a little bit better spool.

Good luck man, I look forward to seeing the developments.

 

thanks man your one of the reasons i still keep going with this car. Your an inspiration to most cobalt owners.

I just hope i can get everything up and running. My hardest thing right now is finding a tuner if BYT cant

 

You seriously don't know how much this means to me. I'm truly honored that I could inspire others to work with this 'disliked' platform, but hell man, great cars like yours are what keep ME going. Your car is prominent and looks and (ran) great man. Keep up your great work. You'll reach your goals with ease! Just take your time!

 

you 2 gonna swap some spit too

 

GL with the build! Hope you'll have it all ready for Carlisle.

 

yea so do i plus some more

 

I almost dumped my car when it blew up too, I know how you feel

 

go zzp kit is better quality lol and the 252et is a amazing turbo i used to have it!

 

My kits been good so far besides the block taking a ****

 

do you have the 252et or the hahn kit?

 

Hahn intake mani and half zzp piping half custom witb the s252

 

thats not a bad set up man how much boost are you on the 252et?

 

before the crack i was just at 16lbs cause i didnt have better spark plugs

 

Good luck with the build

 

Thanks man

 

 

YEA BUDDY! i just have to ask though mike, did you look into the 2.1 build at all before i said to look into it? i told brian you should look into that when he told me about your block a couple days before i told you

 

Nah I didn't until bian said something
