this is my DD, and due to our new family addition, im just gonna keep mine N/A

if you want to build it for boost, see if you can get those LSJ valves, i know the exhaust ones are sodium filled, or at least get some inconel exh valves, to handle the temps.

the guy at bates said these stainless valves are adequate for S/C but not a turbo, but i dont want to push them to their melting point, so N/A DD for me.

******* header is taking forever coming from canada

 

Ya I'm gonna do a N/A DD first.Then WAY down the road,boost will come from a procharger.I love the way they sound and perform.I dont wanna do anything too crazy seeing this is my only car but like i said well see

 

I got a chance to hear the car in person today and it sounds awesome! But then again it was loud as hell because it was coming right off the header. He needs that tune but it's going to be very nice once it's drivable.

 

thanks dan

i drove it down my street and back today and it was ******* ridiculously loud at around 3000 rpms, didnt get above that.

insane. cant wait for that header...................

 

vids of you going down the street!!!!!

 

Hey Brian, how about tomorrow I bring over my video camera and we can do some short videos of it? Obviously they're interested in seeing and hearing it.

 

perfect, call me up tomorrow around 12 and we'll shoot some vids

 

Sorry Brian and to everyone else, I got pretty sick as was in bed most of the day.

 

sorry to hear, give me a call tomorrow after 4.

 

Quick Question… I have an 07 2.2.…..where is the cam sensor located??? If I open the hood where should I look to find it?

 

the actual sensor is in the front drivers side of the head, held on by one bolt. the ring inside is on the intake cam. the ring inside works with the sensor outside.

 

wow i am so glad i found this thread.

has anybody else done this with their cam?

 

i have 07 comp stage 2 cams with sensor pressed onto it...it was done by bates engineering...i will take pics and post them

 

vince told me the other day that if you got a tune and tuned that sensor out, you dont need it and could in theory use ANY cam for the 2.2

 

I'm going to go ahead and bump an extremely old thread because I never saw this before...I just always assumed the 07+ with CPS were **** out of luck.

Has anyone else done this besides OP and jbenso04? If this is something that can be done for a decent cost, I will have to look into this. Because I'm thinking about rebuilding the top end of my engine anyway...so why not add some more performance while I'm at it. I don't have any plans for SC or TC...but some extra power would be nice. Not to mention the sound of a cam.

Thanks for any help.

 

2x

 

x3 i have cams ready to go

 

Anyone have any info on getting ahold of Ray Bates? I cant find anything online.

 

I'm looking to contact ray bates to. I want some cams in my 07. I was talking to SMG Motoring about a head and port job they told me they would look into the sensor beingpressed on the cam we will see what they say

 

post on here and let us know cause I cant seem to find any number or anything on bates

 

We might be able to get a deal if we all get it done

 

id be down keep me posted and send me a pm if we can. i already have the new cam from comp and have a stock cam with cam sensor ready to ship

 

I'm out... I fucked up the engine. I'm buying a new car instead. I may keep the Cobalt and tear it apart or replace the engine next summer to either sell it or turn it into racecar with FI.

 

any info found im dying everything is done just waiting on this ****

 

Guessing this thread is a bust now
