I finally bit the bullet and bought a TVS.

80's, #82 valve springs and neutral balance shafts from ZZP. New timing kit from ZZP.

Guess the cobalt will be a whole lot more fun here in a month or so.

 

Nice. Whos tuning you?

 

Be careful with the nbs from zzp, I hear mixed reviews on them. Also welcome to the tvs club!

 

Sub'd keep it updated!

 

Sunburst_SS is taking care of the tuning, he is local to me.

 

Nice are you going to be making payments on it?

 

Nope. Paid in full.

 

Bought the ZZP stage 3 kit in April or so of last year. Have always wanted to run a TVS though, and here I am.

 

Ahhh nice

 

Cool man, in for pics of the build.

 

go for a 2.6 pulley and e

 

Mr. B I would if I could. It just isn't reliably available in my area. Any other time I would take your words to be solid. Want to put a pumping station in the back yard for me? I'll swap over in that case.

 

TVS was one of best mods I ever did. Car would just pull forever. you will love it

 

X2 on the NBS. I bought a used set and the bearing s were super marred. For what it's worth save urself 200 bucks, make more power and delete the shafts.

 

Yea the TVS is..incredibly fun... You won't make turbo numbers but the throttle response in a winding road is one of the things I look forward to everyday coming home.

If you haven't already, grab a set of rotated mounts from powell or ottp. It's night and day difference on what those things do, I honestly wish I had got those as my first mod.

 

Just a more solid feeling? Increased handling? Just curious.......

 

It's hard to describe..... I went TVS sometime in may and at first it didn't really...do anything for me. I bought the stage 3 ottp kit that came with the rotated mounts and the upper trans mount on black friday then I installed them. The car definitely felt more solid, didn't get anywhere near the torque steer I was used to getting previously. They complement the car extremely well.
