thats purty. good luck with it, hope everything goes smoothly

 

I thought you had already sent that off to Jotech last I heard.

What's the progress on this?

 

thanks. ya im actually thinking of selling the neutral balance shafts and eagle rods and getting the balance shaft delete kit and crower rods

weve been working on getting the head done. i had to find a spare motor and i just did like earlier this week. thing about it is my brother has to go get the motor in tennessee for me but its getting there

had to order bronze valve guides and gm performance seals and supertech valve keepers too. but jotech is charging me 1450 for a stage 3 port job. and theyre even going to tell the company to put on the cam sensor for me too

 

wow dude if you actually get all of this **** installed you are going to have a beast!

what are your power goals?

 

Nice!!!!

 

I'm guessing 500+ with the looks of that forged crankshaft.

The real question is what are you going to do about a transmission?

 

if this is done in the next couple months, you have to take me for a ride when I'm in Dallas for the summer

 

By far one of the cleanest builds I've seen.

Looks like pure sex.

 

nice setup. i just did basically all that but all motor with spray. still tryin to find out why knock sensor is going off, balance shafts is what im thinking cuz i checked timing once (checking again tomorrow) but we will see soon

 

power wise im looking at around 600-650.
tranny wise im going to go with like a stage 4 clutch and possibly get it cryoed.
realistically i think itll be done around xmas. i wish i could get it done sooner. lol
im going to be running a stand alone engine managment. the Fast XFI system that gm uses on their drag set ups.

 

Do u have a total so far on parts u have?

I bet this is one costly build

 

well the turbo was like $1300, manifold $1200 (but i got it cheaper from the guy who had it made), wastegate $600, intercooler was $500ish, B.o.v. $250,valve train $750, intake manifold $800
those are just a few numbers so far off the top of my head

 

damn, i paid like 600 for eagle crank & rods, 400+100 for 5 pistons lol 300+350+400+200 for valves, spring/retainer kit, cams, more valves, 1000 for ported head w/ 5 angle valve job and that yet again for 2nd time around ported head, 100 for arp head studs, 300 for all new seals and bolts for bottom end, 295+435 for fly n clutch, 190 for udp, 450 for 2.4 im/tb and injen, 400 for jbp vortex, 225 for dp and catback (stainless steel) and i think thats all ive spent so far, not nothing compared to you lol but i do got a 450 nitrous kit with 150 shot jets :-)

 

That is one sexy turbo setup, BTW very sexy black HKS SSQ!

 

ya i paid 300 for the eagle crank from a guy on j-body. brand new so that was a hell of a deal.
the rods and pistons i got for 500.so id say ive spent about 8-9000 in a yr on this. i still have a ways to go for what im doing.but the head is whats getting completely redone at the moment.


i had seen that b.o.v. one day and got lucky because it was the last one on the shelf so i had to ****** it up. i saw a few others eye balling it lol

 

wow if this works uh what do you plan on doin with this car haha...i would seriously think about traction with all that horsepower how hell that is probably the coolest thing i have seen with a cobalt just DIRTY

 

i hate you haha, in an envious way...

 

lol. ya ive thought about the traction issues with it being a fwd car, but as far as maybe driving it around without racing ill run some 17's on nitto neogen tires, but im looking into maybe some slicks for the track days.
and from what ive heard the traction bars that bwoody makes isnt upto to par but thats just word of mouth from a few people on here so idk.
and all this on a home depot part time salary too lol

 

haha nice! where in dallas you at? I got a bunch of friends up at UNT

 

Your gonna put a lsd in that trans right?

 

im close to mesquite. border line there and pleasant grove

i want to put an lsd in it but right now its not on my top priorities. maybe once i get done engine wise i can get a company to sponsor and take care of that

 

Any idea of what is the weight of the flywheel ?

EDIT : actually if you got a pic of the other side of the flywheel, I'll be interested too, looks like a good one for my next N/A build

 

i think it weighs some where between 9-12lbs. its been a minute since it was weighed. its the exedy flywheel. ya ill take another pic for ya

 

Yep, I saw "10.5 lbs" in the exedy catalog, but well.... between the advertised weight and the real one...
