yeah i wanted a cobalt series aswell, since my boost and oil temp gauges are both cobalt series, but they want close to 400 bucks for it, fuuuck that...innovate FTMFW, and the h/e is literally a perfect dam fit, ima have to be careful with it lol, it comes down to match the bumper

yeah, i have to much money to waste lol, this is my 3rd official attempt at boost, 4th if you count the brief idea of sc'n i had during last summer :p, but this has to be for sure the last attempt, succeed or fail, im not trying again

ps added another picture above

 

That bumper is hacked, do you plan to get a new one? Are you going to keep the plate blocking the H/E?

 

Ya, I think I'll stick with a Cobra for the time being, at least.

And yeah, the Cobalt W/B is INSANELY expensive!!!

 

suit urself, im not going to push the h/e on you, but u can tell this thing kicks the cobras h/e's ass either or will work; but just working sometimes isnt enough

 

Oh, I know that.

The Cobra H/E ain't bad, but it'll probably be a temporary solution, I want to get my swap done with minimal or no fabrication.

 

I know what u mean, but I don't wanna go back and change **** after it's done, don't feel like making brackets for 2 h/e's

 

I've heard rumors of someone finding an easy way to mount to Cobra, so if I don't have to make brackets, I'm happy.

sub'ed for updates. im lookin into doin this to my 2.2 as soon as i sell my N20 kit. i hope it works out and i agree with the 230hp est. but if/when i do mine id like to have stg 1 cams...

 

wtf juan... damn dude... when u get close to finishing this one..hit me up so i can buy it lol... crap man.. i justed bought cams and crap. please finish this one!!!

 

hahhaaha, hey, u know i have have impulsive compulsive disorder i cant help it...but i WIL finish this one, if i fail at this one, ima just quit moddin this damnn car;

on further news, the sc came in today, came in nicely pakaged, only one flaw, there was a hole in the bag wraping the blower, so styrofoam got inside thru the TB hole, i got most of it out, but now its in my head, to take this thing apart, i undo the bolts going around it right? than pull the whole neck out with the blades attached? ill search for a how to


expect a modular pulley system on that thing later on next month, im still debating on pulley size, probably going to run a 3"

i kn ow the bumper is fucked, for now im keeping it the way it was, and no the license plate is moving back into the bracket where it was when i first bought the car, just need to find the damn thing, or buy another one

yeah but you see with this one, no need for bracket, i just drill a hole in the iompact bar, the tabs on the h/e line up perfectly, than run a bolt and nut and tighten it down and your set, no need to jump hoops to get it to bolt on

 

how much money have you used already? for both your set ups?
and if you need any help with the build you can send me a pm or just ask. its really easy. cuz you did it to haza car.

 

yeah; on both setups, im still at the same cost; everything from the turbo build sold and i bought the m62 with the money, so im sitting @~1025 right now

 

thats good. was gonna say if you spent a whole lot of money you could of just gotten the garrett kit.
glad your going sc now. that will be 3 sc in texas. lol

 

yup, im still debating on pulley size probably a 3" i think i have to use a stgII belt for it too, not sure, haza has stock pulley on stock belt

 

Stage 2 is a 3", isn't it?

 

dunno, im using a modular stage kit from ZZP, so i get to choose what pulley size i want to use

 

No, it's a 3.06 which makes about ~1/2 lb less than a 3.

 

Yup. Remove the bolts that hold on to the snout. The rotors will pull out of the blower body.

You should replace the SC oil while your at it.

 

yeah i have a local guy who has a bottle of sc oil im changin that too, and i found the how to for the removal, so when i undo the bolt pull the neck out, making sure not use the pry point to not spill oil everywhere :p which i dont think matters since ima change it anyway lol, but to avoid a mess; yeah i have to take it apart to plug the sc holes, and get styrofoam out of the rotors

 

Oh, okay.

That's actually good to know. So now with my ported blower, it should even out.

 

Well I'm buying a full exhaust since I'm all stock now, need a exhaust...here's what I'm looking at

Ca v2 header
Xtc downpipe 2.5"
Vibrant 3" exhaust

Getting the first 2 from CA, and the exhaust from ttr, going 2.5 prior to catback to help conserve low end, and 3" exhaust to help the high end

 

doesnt work that way. one solid size would be better, and if you need different sizes, its better to start large and then small (IE 3" DP and 2.5" catback)

 

Eh **** it, only exhaust I like are 3" or 2 3/8th which is to small for a 3" pulley, so I'll just get the 3" xtc downpipe than, solves that issue

 

^^ indeed it does
just wanted to be helpful
