thanks Novajoe its not the first time you've helped me lol so i guess this is a necessity if u plan on getting decent power out of a turbo/sc setup on the 2.2

xCobalt05x

no, its a universal kit. they are not making a spacific kit for anyone. besides the 2.0's have HPT for tuning. just buy the universal and take it to a performance shop and have them tune it.

Novajoe

well the only other good option I know of is the smt-7. But I'd go with the aem. It's just a better system IMO

xCobalt05x

i dont know much about the smt-7 but the smt-6 adds a 5th injector and blows the fuel through the plastic manifold for a posible back fire explotion. I have the AEM f/ic on board the ship right now. If i can get my IT's to give me rights to uploading pictures ill try to take screen shots of the AEM tuning software and stuff. I've already got it set up to make the 60 lb injectors opperate like they were the factory injectors. That will be my starting point for tuning it for the boost. I have a friend back in VA that understands the whole tuning thing and he is walking me through it right now.

OMFG!!!!!!!! i cant believe it. the navy just uppped FC's and ET's re-enlistment bonus. And right now im in a tax free zone and i'll be re-enlisting in a few weeks under the new bonus. DRUMMMM ROOLLLLL PLEASEE.

The navy upped it to 6.0 mulitply and new cap of 75,000. NC1 submited my new paper work today and i hit the 75k cap. CAN YOU SAY COBALT WILL BE DONE paint, new body kit, turbo and all when i get back

Delta2.2

lucky you man. lotta money to throw around now huh?? mind having ur uncle set me up with one of those STS turbo kits when u get back lol. let me know how much it all comes out to be. interested on the AEM/fic ur using. so update me on that for tuneing as well.

ive been bouncing off the idea of the Megasquirt system more because its more control.

boez06

thats cool man....hope you get a nice big front mount to fit in that front bumper of the huge body kit and also how much was this kit and where can you get it ?

Smitty1017

The more money you make the less you have, in my case anyways. Im making double the money I made last year and I have double the bills too lol

xCobalt05x

first thing is first on that, i dont have much debt right now, just my car and 2 credit cards i have to pay for the work have done to my car right now. I'll be paying all of that off and il will still have about 60k left over. Second the entire bonus will be tax free since im in a tax free zone while re-enlisting. None of that bonus will be going back to Uncle Sam. Even at the end of the year it is exempt from counting as total earned income.

All my uncle did was get the kit from the website.

Ive been messing with the AEM fic a little bit. I got a formula from someone on how to convert the lb rated injectors to CC's. I have a basic tune alread made to swap out with the 42lb injectors and make them run like stock injectors. After that all i have to do is hook up a stand alone wide band and then tune it as i drive the car under boost. the AEM has a built in MAP sensor and comes with vacume line so that it will measure the boost and the AEM computer will automaticly adjust the fuel curve for when not under boost conditions and so forth.

You are right about the more control thing, but im happy with the AEM being pulse width controled w/ out setting off CEL's and being able to adjust the spark timing.

the kit from www.ststurbo.com i believe is 700 less then the Hahn kits. I believe w/ labor and the kit it will come out to some where around 4k or less. It just depends on the shop.

boez06

how much was the kit alone ?

xCobalt05x

the kit alone is 2,995 + shipping

my birthday is march 3rd..... wanna get me anything for my car lol

How come the STS turbo can put out so much power compared to the Garett turbo alpha kit? I think it only puts out like 190whp, compared to your 250hp...big diff consdiering its the same price.

Hows the lag by the way on the remote setup?

xCobalt05x

lol maybe if there was a why i could make the money back off of you hustling people in races w/ that sleeper look

Delta2.2

pinks? lol set it up man. and i'll give u my wing

siiiick!

xCobalt05x

lol as long as it was an ss/sc that you won the pinks from. lol

Sw4y1313

If you look at the rpm's they measure the garett kit at, it made 198whp @ 5000rpms. Theres still 1500rpms to build power. im sure it made over 200whp easily.

Novajoe

lol. He's gonna lose his ride on the show... then ur both gonna be screwed.

j27

whats your job in the navy? Good job I love your car.

xCobalt05x

you need to look at what mods i have done to my car right now. I AM NOT BOOSTING YET!!!!

my 251 whp comes from straight up nitrous and a built motor. since you didnt read my sig and click on my garage to see what mods i have i will list them for starting with the nitrous kit

Dyno Tune 2 stage 125hp nitrous system

Egale forged rods

Wiesco forged pistons 8.9:1 compression

Comp Cams Stage 1 Cams

Ferrera valves and spring kit with titanium retainers

3 angle valve job on the head

honde cylinders

ARP head studs

Cometic Head gasket

ACL rod bearings

Fujita CAI

3A performance dual exhaust

Also if you read up on the sts turbos and go to streetfire or youtube and type in STS turbo installation you will see 2 videos that show you what makes them better then conventional turbo set ups.

w/ the sts set up combined with the nitrous ill be looking at laying down 390 to 415 whp

Also to answer your question about the alpha kit, its only tuned to 10 psi of boost for the 2.4L kits and tuned for 8 psi on the 2.2L kits. The STS turbo kit will be set up for 14psi on my 2.2L and im well awear of the psi blowing apart the plastic intake manifold, dont worry i have the covered got a metal on the way
