Put that black bezel on that A/F gauge so they match. Sorry I'm very picky.

holy crap UPS must have thrown that box across the street in order to break the mani that way, good luck fixing it

taerae86

I knowwww! Lol I'm getting there hah I've been polishing and doing some other stuff lol

taerae86

Day two of polishing, really only have about 3 hours into polishing so far lol

So are you gonna be quicker than Jeff's car?

06_cobalt

Since he's turbocharged I highly doubt it lmao.

The supercharger's looking great. Have you painted your valve cover or are you planning too?

Personally, I would blame the broken I/M on the SHIPPER... not UPS. In this day and age, they should have known to package and ship it A LOT better than that. That's a half-ass shipping job. Thin cardboard and minimal packing material is just asking for something to get broken.

Good luck on the build though. Not a hard swap to do. Certainly a learning experience if you've never done anything like this before.

I doubt it ...I wish, but I doubt it lol we'll see though

taerae86

Thanks! My valve cover is powder coated black

Same general stuff, really. Unbolt some stuff... bolt on some stuff. Start it up, have >9000 problems, haha. The nice thing about a S/C swap on a Cobalt, opposed to a turbo swap, is that working on the front side of the engine is A LOT easier than working on the back side.

this is true!

what spark plugs did you get all i see is lsj plugs on zzp

taerae86

like i said couldnt find them on zzp but owell i got them from ottp instead with the ic pump lol when does ur build start i now have all my parts ordered finally just waiting for them to come in. well i still have bolt ons but those can wait alil

taerae86

yeah, i know you can get them from jegs, too...but if you got them from ottp thats good lol

uhm, prob like March 2nd-ish, somewhere around there...i dont usually get my car out til like the middle of April, so it's just gonna sit anyway lol you?

i have most everything, just looking for an oil pressure gauge pretty much and polishing the supercharger which is prob gonna take a while lol ...stupid autometer oil pressure gauges are like $200

heathkidder

iTrader: (20)

yeah i need my gauges still as well and just bc you dont get ur car out till april doesnt mean you cant start the build now lol

taerae86

you getting autometer? hah thats true...idk, we'll see. Thats when i'm shooting to have the supercharger polished by though cause with class and work, i'll most likely only be working on it on the weekends...

and i still have to see whats up with that IM, actually. It got welded yesterday, i'm getting it back tomorrow most likely, so we'll see how that came out lol hopefully it's good

i think im getting my gauges from glowshift. yeah i work alot of overtime so i wanted to start asap just so if i do have any issues i have time to get it fixed bc ill only be working on it on weekends as well

taerae86

i like how the glowshift gauges are like black when they're off lol i looked at the oil pressure gauge from them, but i want it to match the boost gauge...yeah, thats true. you going with trifecta or HPT?
