Well the project is finally started and I am car less. I will keep people up to date on the progress of the build. There will be a total pictorial record of all the work being done, even a video made of JBP doing the work. JBP has also gotten Performance Auto & Sound involved for this build and they will be writing about the project. I am pretty stoked as you can all imagine. Here are just a few ot the "start the waiting for Christmas pics".

 

Good Deal man. Do you have an idea of what kind of HP you are going to get out of it?

 

I predict about 350 whp

 

when u shippin that out, i gota go there sometime next week proabbly and pick up my motor mount and some other random things, im gonna steal yer engine na na na no no, just kidding, awesome dude, yer car is gonna fly

 

We are building the engine to hold 550whp. I am not the guessing type so the numbers will speak for themselves when the build is done. I am working on getting the twin charge setup sooner than later, time will tell.

 

It's in transit as we speak and I will tell them to watch out for any and all nefarious characters driving a Cobalt with friends driving trucks

 

nice man sweet deal... cantw iat top see the finished product

 

lol!
on a serious note though, its awesome what yer doin man, hope everything works out and see what this engine can do when a lil elbow grease is applied

 

Ahhh the sleepless nights begin....I remember them well. Hopefully it goes according to plan and there aren't any minor setbacks

Just think how happy you will be once it is all over

 

You are always the bastion of encouragement aren't you

 

Just be the first with twin screw....Forget the twincharge.

 

Simply awesome. Congrats on the initiation of the project there Victory! Can't wait to see how she unfolds through out the coming months.

I agree with Articzap...you should fab up a twin-screw!

 

I am just givin' you the gears...since you don't have any to row right now.

We'll see about the timeline.... Ya never know it may be on schedule

 

wow....i never knew the engine has so many tubes! ....make sure they're all connected when you put it back on!

man, in july you'll leave me in the dust a lot quicker lol

 

so heres what you do Mason. Buy a second engine and have it built up then have them swapped in a weekend, tell yor Dad your going camping and then he will never know the small thing you did to your engine.

 

lol im gonna gradually make it louder and he'll never notice it

just got a filter drop in....but that pretty much did nothing. and im gonna put on the ss muffler that mike gave me

 

I think "jealous" is the magic word. I can't wait to see your numbers on that. Are you going to spray too?

 

How do you think computer will react to the increased compression ratio?

 

very exciting!

 

wats goin on with the tranny?
will it hold or are you modding that too?

 

simply awesome.

 

Hey Victory, if you are going through car withdrawls while it is gone, i can drop mine off for you while I work evenings so you can have a little fun.

 

This is an option that I will consider after I have exhausted all the other performance mods.

We will be tuning the engine as soon as it is re-installed so no problems are anticipated.

TTR says the tranny will hold fine but not the diffrenetial so we are going with the Quaife LSD which will hold up fine.


Thanks and I left a message today for your "adopted" son and I hope to talk to him on Monday

I really hope your serious Mike. I am also waiting for Matt to put his Mustang on the road. I don't think he will let me drive it though and he said I should buy some Depends for the ride

I am really looking forward to it and I did warn JBP to be on the lookout for you Toronto fellas especially right after it's done

 

Matt really said that, that is hilarious, on a side note my bud beat me in my car last night I was drivin his gli, he was very surprised by our cars, his group of gli guys really like all the goodies on our cars,but they do not like hondas very much, I guess I should have said this in another thread

 

that blue GLI? lol that car is sick man....but im sure ur old vibe could beat it
