when will you make up your mind and stop teasing us!!!!

 

how much money in total did u waste?

it must have been over 2 grand on turbos and stupid ****.


dude. just make up ur mind.

i honestly cant take u seriously anymore lol

 

Why use a thread to store info that you will have to search pages and pages to find something when you could just neatly store it on your computer?

 

lol i know i know, i cant make up my damn mind

lol this is it, this is truly it im going thru with this, i havent wasted much, my first build after i sold evetyhing only lost aboue 150bucks from it, this last one, i lost nothing as it all sold for the same cost i bought it for, and i was planning water/air intercooling so most of the expensive stuff im still using

bc im never on the same computer twice, there is no point, i dont have a laptop anymore, gf is using now since her computer fried, and only use of internet is at work, and on iphone :p so this is the best way to store it all in one plcae until i can get it all one my notes on my phone, plus build thread lol, and like i said above, this is it, no more changing my mind

 

If I was you I'd just stick with the turbo. N yes you should of thought it through before you bought all that stuff.

 

Didn't you help your friend supercharge that granite blue metallic 2.2? Now your gonna be just like him. I say stick to turbo.

 

yes i helped him sc his, so i know how to do this in a weekend, and me and him will nt be running the same set ups, i will be using a 3" pulley not a stock one, i will be running a diffrent h/e, mines going to look less put together :p he used a stock resevoir for his intercooler tanks, im using OTTPs, my engine bay will be more more show orientated than his

 

make sure your on ottp's ass about your orders, joe has had really bad luck

 

yeah, im sending them PM's and no response yet >: ( at this rate, idk, i may just drop them off my sig and dispute the order with paypal, i want my wideband, the discount they gave me is not worth a long as wait

 

build your block a little and put a smaller pulley on it

 

boo what do you think your gonna make on the sc?
i wouldnt touch it, might as well get on that TVS to make any decent power.

 

on stock engine, a TVS is not the way to go, maybe later on next year, hopefully looking for 230hp on 3" pulley

 

yeah the build is pretty easy, im hoping to do it soon once i get rims and other misc stuff

 

welli got the tracking on my wideband per their website, should arrive on friday 3/05/09 same date as the blower, now im debating on powdercoating the blower, rattle canning it like joe did, or polishing it s mooth than paint it

 

just spray it, cheap and easy

 

do you think you will pull off 230?
when a stage 2 s/c makes less then that unless they get somone who knows what they are doing with HP tuners and tune it.

 

garret turbo kit, saves the headache

 

well i have more displacement, and higher compression than they do, so ideally i should be able to get more hp/psi than they can on the same set up, just that mine make more heat b/c of the higher compression

 

Do you need the LSJ Idler? I didn't think you did...

 

yes u do, i have done this before, trust me, u need that idler pulley/assembly, its not expensive, none of the belt system parts are, hell nothing in the build is expensive new except the blower, and maybe the intake manifold, ive given it till next month on the 20th, if no one has offered me a intake manifold used i will buy one new, also the betl system stuff new will cost: 221.76+bolts+shipping, so prety cheap, the belt you can get used on here, stgII belt, so yeah, im buying the belt system later this month, and the blower shoudl arrive this saturday

 

Kinda sad, was gonna say BOOO also but someone else beat me to it, lol... I'm sure the S/C will be a great setup, i personally think from a show stand point the s/c looks better, but a turbo is much, much cooler and in most cases FASTER!!!!.... Good luck with this, keep us posted!

 

ok, my innovate wideband came in today, after a hew hrs looking thru the PDF's and the website; i figured out how to wire everything, might make a how to, as there is no real innovate specific one, and i also test mounted the h/e using blocks to hold it up, i lifted it to the point where it will sit, fits literally perfectly witht he stock bumper, so perfect the tabs on the bottom come down, nothing a RKsport lip wont fix and now on to the pics; and yes i relize my stock bumper looks like complete utter ****, i havent washed the car in a good 2 months










***thanks go to OTTP for their helping not make this wideband, lets just say, a financial burden

 

Good call on the Innovate W/B.

That's what I've been looking at. I want the Cobalt-series W/B, but the Innovate is better and cheaper, just wish it had a silver bezel...


Looks like that big mother of a H/E fits right up in there!

 

These kinda threads make me miss having a job and miss having money

Build looks like its going well though.
