Alright

thanks much JN2!


hopefully everything works out good and
everything goes smoothly.

I think im gonna start mounting everything wedsnday...or whatever days i dontwork.

 

youre gonna have yours done before mine, im still waitin on my fuel injectors to come in which prolly wont be for another 1 and a half comin from canada. but id say stick wit the stock 15's and get some sticky tires and keep that stock and sleeper look.

 

Well i need the stockers just incase i need to drive the car in winter


If i dont work today..
im taking my bumper off and header hopefully today.


Maybe mounting the Intercooler.

Pics will be coming, if i get a chance to work on it

 

I'm sooo jealous! I wish I would be able to do this. I had plans to turbo this summer but it looks like I'll be saving for a ring and a wedding instead.
I told my GF that I'll just finish up with full bolt-ons, tune, wheels and tires and coilovers and call it a done deal.
I'm still kinda bummed that I won't be able to build it but the "I think our babies deserve to ride around in a fast Cobalt" argument doesn't get me very far.
Good luck with the build tho man...subscribed for pics/vids/numbers

 

yea. youre gonna have to provide pics. ill take some of mine and post them. hopefully a dyno and track times before i leave also

 

do u have a stock clutch? If so it might not hold up with that boost?

 

Family comes before your car dude
ha
think of that


i will, it should hold..well for a bit
theres a 2.2 cobalt SC and his lcutch is holding fine


hoepfully mine will for a few months...i hope or til i can afford it :/

 

ya I have been trying to finish my build and everything and realized teh whole "clutch" dilema lol

I am hoping just like u, it will hold up

 

im the 2.2 SC hes talking about, and preston knows that i sometimes beat the **** out of my car and the clutch hasent slipped yet. and i will be pulleying down in the next few weeks.

 

nice, ya I am hopefully turboing sometime in the future but need to sell my kit now to pay for damages on my car. so I hope my stock clutch will hold up

 

good luck

 

thanks, i have figured out all of my essential parts I am missing so I should be rolling sometime spring

 

Me and cobaltguy has both used nitrous (seventy five shot) and my clutch slipped once with that

should hold for a bit
well dont work today

going down to work on the car

K
update..
First day at the shop
Took out the head lights, brackets, and stock header
Mounted my Intercooler and turbo manifold

I work tommorow, so no progress tommorow
Wedsnday, plans are
mount a turbo
Put injectors in..maybe run piping..but i think i got jew-ed on my T-clamps..there to big.

Map out my downpipe!



pics

 

dont forget we have to put sealant on that block off plate

 

ill tell you this, takin off them header bolts is a bitch and a half. wit that adapter plate that you have for the turbo would a T3 fit? if so i could use my other turbo instead of buyin a new manifold

 

The manifold is a T3/T4 manifold

that adaptor is for a T25

 

oooh, nevermind. is that the manifold from canada? i cant seem to find a decently priced T3 manifold anywhere

 

i actually got the manifold off ebay. along with the adapter. so far it seems ok except for a few minor quirks.

 

i thought i saw it on there. i almost got one myself but comin from ebay i was iffy, but if it works for you i might go for one later

 

LOL
i've taken my header off SOOO many times..and the bolts.
ha

i'm pro at it now ha

 

pro....ha whats a pro?? oh so did jimbo give you the injectors and harness or is he holding out on you yet???

 

lol

yeah i got the injectors and harness.

i think this is the hardest i've worked on my car hahah
going to the shop tommorow

PLANS FOR WEDSNDAY!
Mount a turbo..map out my downpipe..hopefully make it too
maybe put the injectors in..
lay out the intercooler piping


also when i take the gallery plug out of the block...is oil gonna drip? or no? beacuse if i can get at that im gonna tomoroow to

 

id drain the oil good. since we are taking the pan off anyways. just dont start it. but im sure you know that.

 

Drain the oil, and with the engine off it will drip a few drop of oil

 

Updates for yesterday work

Got my downpipe off completely
Mounted a turbo and by 90 elbow off the turbo

figured out what i all need for piping and getting that today after school

today im gonna weld my downpipe all together.. and put bungs in the sensors.
What sensor do i need? I heard you need the one in the rear for the car to run? and the front one yo udont need.
