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?

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

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

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

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!
