we went with the 2.5bar map sensor (the same one on the LSJ intake manifold) because it reads intake temperatures too.

 

the list is right below...i think im missing a lot of hoses though, as i dont have very many and theres a LOT under the hood in the pics in this thread. are most of them already on the stock engine? or do i need to buy some

 

actually most of those are electrical wiring wrapped up in the plastic sleeves. looks like hoses but there really are not that many. I'll have the engine compartment cleaned up more later and i'll get some pics with my camera and not my phone lol.

 

I think your car with a 2.8 pulley, 60's and a nice HE setup would put out some NICE freakin numbers. And we all know the engine can take it no problem. Good **** beck, cant wait to see it fully tuned. If i had to pick between the 2 other motors, it would be the 2.4 hands down.

 

sounds good man...tho i still think im short some hoses...and i cant really figure out how to assemble the coolant reservoir, as the part with the cap isnt attached to the actual reservoir...or am i just retarded and theyre not part of the same system?

 

that piece sits infront of the intake manifold on the ss/sc but not a necessary piece. i just ran an entire seperate tank for my heat exchanger.

Well i routed everything as clean as i could get it. Here's the pics. let me know whatcha guys think.

 

HOLY CRAP!!! its so amazing, nice job on making it look very clean. really it looks factory, you've made it look pretty organized and just wow it looks really good

 

yeah i have OCD so i spent a good hour or two making sure it looked right haha. Now i'm going to have to buy some supercharged badges for my car so if i get pulled over and asked to pop the hood i might be able to pass it off hahaha

it looks even better than the pictures, the reflection of the flash off the valve cover makes it look more cluttered than it is.

 

well its not like you have Nitrous oxide or anything, supercharging is legit.... oh California i see.... Good luck with that haha

and i'm basically OCD too. i would spend a lot of time making it look nice

 

yeah cali is lame. Im pretty certain i could pass off as a stock ss/sc though haha.

 

well seeing as the m62 probably came straight from a supercharged cobalt lol i bet you could

 

Hey Beck, do you think this will pass our srigent smog laws. This is the main thing holding me back.

 

probably not. But if you know some people its possible.

 

cleaning looking man. very clean. how much boost are u running rite now? how much boost can we handle on stock internals? did u use hptuners to tune?

 

You took off the gril on the bottom? I was thinking of doing that too since my is spraypainted with SMG on there. That looks badass with the HE exposed like that.

 

holy **** man... that thing looks awesome.. definately stock looking

 

Sick Beck just sick. Good work man congratulations. :

 

I think your tinted tail lights was a better mod...

j/k...

 

course you do because that didn't give him the ability to be faster then you... even with all your work done jk man now not only does his car look sick but it'll perform ridiculous too

 

I'd love to see what his car can do. That's one serious upgrade; however, we all know that APC window banners add waaaaaaay more HP than a silly M62...

 

*** yea.... bich

 

dude i cant wait for the how to, thats going to be amazing. everything looks great!

this is about the only thing that is making me consider keeping the balt.

 

hahaha nice

 

looks badass and is functional

As of now i've got power enrichment disabled so basicly once i hit boost the car bogs down. my car is only tuned to run at the moment. I finish the tuning tomorrow with bigworm. however in neutral when i rev to 3k, i hit about 5psi of boost, and at about 5k, i hit somewhere between 7-10psi. My car isnt tuned for the power enrichment so i have not seen its full potential, nor do i want to rev it to redline with the high rpm a/f ratio untuned.

It is very annoying driving the car right now because its wanting so badly to go into boost i literally have to drive like a grandma to keep it from doing so. The car is just begging for some mashing haha, but i've gotta wait till tomorrow If everything goes as planned i may run the car at the track wednesday night.

 

score, hope you see some good numbers at the track. lets hear some updates about the tuning today too
