What type of rotors are you putting on your car? Stock?

A good set of rotors and pads shouldn't do that. I have not heard of Mini rotors on a cobalt. We have plenty of products out there that should be higher performance. You may have to spend some money though.

Do you have 4 or 5 lug wheels?

Pretty sure only the base base models came with 4 lug wheels.

Yeah I'm 4x100 4 lug, same as the Mini Cooper. It seems like a decent upgrade for pretty cheap. I can get drilled and slotted rotors for a Mini for the same price I can get drilled and slotted rotors for a 4 lug cobalt from Rockauto.com and my cost on NAPA SS/SC front calipers is $56. I'm more curious about the size difference between the LSJ caliper and base model caliper. I might order one and just look at it compared to my factory calipers.

And I just keep throwing NAPA rotors on this car and cutting them down all the time lol. Cut them two or three times then just order some new ones.

I have a little over a year on them as dailies and autocross in the summer.

I actually have a set of front LSJ calipers I was thinking about putting on in the future so if you need some dimensions pulled I can probably help you out with that.

Will a non supercharged block and internals work in a SC car? Like can I take a 2.0 out of an LS or LT and bolt my SC up and go?

Can you install an lsd on getrag f35 5 speed?

08_Slowbalt

the LS and LT have a 2.2 but the rods and pistons are weaker. I'd suggest just sticking to a LSJ bottom end if you already have a supercharged car.

08_Slowbalt

the F35 came in the SS cobalts and some of them came with a LSD so I'm sure its absolutely possible to install a LSD. Base model cars came with the F23 and there are a few LSD options there as well.

Can a 07 cobalt LT FIT 07 cobalt ss supercharger???

lnf pistons in a L61?

Yes you will need a lot of parts to make it work, but not a real difficult project. There should be multiple threads on here about it.

Yes but it doesn't just bolt on. There are a lot of supporting parts required to make it work. Lots and lots of info online about it. The youtube video below should give you a pretty good idea of what it takes.

08_Slowbalt

so I know LSJ Pistons will work in a L61 but has anyone ever ventured to put say, some cheap LSJ pistons from Rockauto.com in their motor? They have Enginetech pistons for $22 a piece. I know you get what you pay for but its not like I'm trying to do some kind of crazy build.

I know LSJ pistons have the same bore diameter but was under the impression they are different because of compression and stroke

08_Slowbalt

Maybe I should have specified I was building a motor for a turbo. So the 9.5 ratio wouldnt be that bad. I'm pretty sure the GMPP ecotec build book lists LSJ rods and pistons as a upgrade for the L61 motor. I guess I need to go verify that.

Yeah as long as the pistons aren't configured differently for the different stroke lengths. I was under the impression that they are. If not I would have definitely considered LSJ pistons because there are more options for them vs. L61. I have some lightly used 2.2 10:1 forged Wiseco pistons I would sell you though I don't think as cheap as what you are looking for.

the different stroke length between the 2.0l and 2.2l would require a shorter connecting rod to run the lsj piston. there is something in the build book about doing this, but it wasnt as straightforward as dumping lsj parts into the l61

08_Slowbalt

I was under the impression that you could just use the LSJ pistons and rods in the L61 as an upgrade. I have a spare block laying around and I am trying to do a real light build on it as cheaply as possible.

Cobalt×sc

what about interior wiring? I know the bcm wouldn't work .. but I have one I just need wiring.. so would I be able to use my interior wiring off my 2.4 ss on my lsj build? Not the engine wiring.

Polly0420

Will the front subframes for an SS interchangeable with the LS

Rockwell

Couple questions might be completely dumb but I'll ask anyway. I have an 07 with the 2.2, and I have a line on a 2.4 direct injection. I would like to put in its place. What would I need for flywheel/clutch to mate them together, and will I be able to take the equinox computer and harness to run the engine, or would I need to adapt the harness and find someone to tune the ecm for the muttchild. 2nd option is take the 2.2 head and put it on the 2.4 will it run with the factory 2.2 tune? Both engines need overhauled I just like the idea of the piston oilers and seems to be the cheapest route to have them. I would like the direct injection as well but don't care for the vvt stuff( could I just put 2.2 cam sprockets on the 2.4 cams.) Ultimately I would like to use the complete 2.4 direct injected engine and eliminate the vvt. Physically it should work. Electronicall??? I don't know
