Hey guys, for all of you that don't know me my name is Steven. I have a 2008 LS L61

I'm going to be supercharging my car soon and I figured I should make somewhere where I can update everyone on it. I'm looking to make a reliable daily driver not crazy power. I bought the zzp base supercharger kit and gathered the rest of the stuff used. I have everything including a new pcm which I'm going to send to zzp for a can tune. All together came out to about $1100

Any and all opinions, advice, etc is welcome! Will update you guys soon as this should be taking place within the next month

 

Good luck man seems like you know what you're doing. I wanted to boost my 2.2 really badly but I said **** it and bought an Lnf

 

I bought this right before the ignition recall and was pissed when the lsj's we're going for what I bought mine for after

 

looks good man!

 

Thanks! I contemplated picking up the glove box and lower dash piece from your for sale thread but I need to get paid before I buy more car parts lol

 

Coming along nicely!

 

Good luck and keep us posted!

 

No bites on it yet. Lmk

 

I was working on a very similar grille at one point. Car looks good!

 

Thanks! that mesh was a pain in the ass it cut up my hands like paper. I wore gloves the second attempt

 

Not technically cobalt related, but I picked up a couple rockymounts tierod's for my mountain bikes. I was over my cheap racks and I got these for $100 (150 each new). The build quality is excellent and the locks seem on par or better than my yakima ones.

 

I also got my dual pass installed on the manifold today after having to order a replacement manifold. Does anyone have any advice on bleeding a dual pass without option b? I assume the same way you would a regular endplate.

 

Why not just make an option B? Its pretty simple.

 

I don't really want to drill and tap my manifold

 

What are you talkinh about?

 

On the zzp instructions for the option b there is one hose that you run to the bottom intake manifold by drilling and tapping into it. If someone else has a different hose diagram that avoids that then I might do it

 

Google this "site:cobaltss.net option b routing diagram"

And go to images

 

Ah I see. Where would I run the air bleed line since I don't have a stock heat exchanger?

 

I finally got the header installed today. Turns out two of the manifold studs were broken in the block. Was a little bit of a headache, but it sounds good

 

Looks good!

 

Mmmm longtubes

 

Mid length but close enough lol

 

Mmmm midlength

 

good to see you got it installed!

 

Looking good man! Option b would def help out though
