^ that. Plus turbo setup is like 5x more than i wanna spend.

 

this!

its probably looking moar complicated than it is because i'm trying to answer the same q's he is so it can get confusing haha.

also, if you want the LSJ power handbook just shoot me a pm and i can sell it to you. ike i said, it has the full 9 yards on how to do the stage 2 with pics. made it super easy to understand.

 

How long would this usually take, my manager is gm certafied but never did anything like this but is willing to help. Plus what kind of special tools am i gonna need?

 

A must have for all LSJ owners.

I have used that book more times than I can count.

He should be able to help you out then.

The hardest part is removing the stock pulley & pressing on the new hub.

From start to finish it will take you a few hours if you install a whole kit from scratch.

 

get 60s and a 2.8. possibly header and downpipe. drive down to indiana on feb 11th. have us help you install it. (the 60s and 2.8 put the header and downpipe on before hand) chevycobaltss3 will tune you for $150 bucks since it's a meet. make decent power for cheap drive back home happy after our winter get together. :

 

how much for book and what other info is in it?

Sounds great except i work consistantly 4 days a week 3rd shift

 

Thanks alot for your help, i cant remember the last time ive been on a helpful forum for my past cars (had 8 in the last 2 years) so its nice to finally have some nice help.

 

I should have done that

 

feb 11th is a saturday and u should just ask off lol. tbh it wouldn't be worth the drive though cause it's only gonna be a few hour event lol.

 

best site ever! i would be lost like a motherf' if it wasnt for this site sometimes

 

i work every saturday and sunday lol plus they expect you to ask off a month in advance. Sounds like alot of fun though!

 

plus were did you get the turbo grill from?

 

No problem.

I'm always glad to help out a new member who shows interest.

Please feel free to PM if you have any further questions as you progress with your Stage kit upgrade.

 

no problem will do

 

Oh look at the new moderator getting around and spreading the cobalt love.

 

Love is what makes the world go around

 

what intake setup do you have, i need one that dont set off cel

 

Stock Donaldson intake w/ modified airbox & K&N E-0777 filter.




I've tested many intakes in my day.

I never had any CEL issues with any of them (although some do).

 

when you installed all your other intakes, what had the best fitment? Im looking for a nice intake that gives me that whiney sound but i cant afford to have a cel go off.

 

The best fitment intakes I tested were the AEM intake & Injen intake hands down.

Injen:


AEM:


The older versions of the Injen intakes sucked, but their updated one fits great when properly installed.

The AEM intake only replaces the stock airbox and retains the upper portion of the stock piping. It porduces the same gains as all the other intakes.

The worst fitting intake I tested was the R.A.W. 3" stainless steel intake.

You should be safe from CEL's with any of the name brand intakes fyi.

 

Hey man just seen you are gonna mod, that's awesome!! Like stated earlier going with a kit is ur best bet if your new too everything. Personally I decided to go with the ZZP kit. I got 2.8, dual pass and 60's. Got a ported and polished blower and a custome CCSS3 tune. You will be happy when you are done. If I were you I would go ahead and do intake and exhaust to really get the use out of your kit and tune. If you need any help feel free to ask and welcome to the forum!!

 

thanks i was thinkin injen mainly because its the most popular on the site, so thats gotta be for good reason. And what about hydrolocking those look pretty close to the ground plus the tires gotta be spittin water at it?

 

I always ran a hydroshield on my filters.

The photos I posted were before I added the shield.

 

Yea im gonna stick with intake and appearence mods for now until i know more about stage setups and my warranty lol. But thanks for the advice!

what size did you use?

 

Injen & K&N sell filters that directly fit their filters.

Just look up the filter part number on either site & order the shield for it.
