All ecotec . Like I said earlier , most of the hardcore ecotec combo's did not orginally start life as a LSJ and alot of the tech crosses between engines .

 

You should have to pass a quiz in order to be able to post here. Only let people post that know the answers to all the stupid questions that people ask on here daily.

 

minimum join date is better then minimum post count..this keeps people from whoreing

 

as HackAbuse would say "post whoreing makes baby jesus cry"

 

And this quiz would consist of????
I thought that's what Sticky's are for?

Anyway, I couldn't care less either way. I'm here to help and to get help. I'm not here to judge or label anyone (nor to be judged or labeled) based on their knowledge of a specific engine. Afterall, at one point or another all of us knew nothing.

As "stupid" as some of these questions may seem, they're only stupid because you already know the answer. Yet, have someone ask a question to which you do not know the answer, and you'll suddenly see people say it's a "good question."

 

ss/sc thing, sounds too familar debate and argumental and not even started so if your not a high poster your not good enough

 

1. What companies offer a GM Stage 2 hub pulley?
2. Which intakes DON'T throw a code?
3. What size injectors are needed for a 2.8 pulley?
4. What companies offer headers for the LSJ?
5. How do you install a pulley?
6. How do you install injectors?
7. How do you calibrate the MAF table? (jk about that one)

 

#2 is out of the question because it isn't a proven answer. It depends on the car and installation. A quiz isn't going to work.

 

Are you trying to start an arguement on here? HA HA HA

What injectors w/ 2.8" Pulley is a loaded question that will start WW3.

I don't think a quiz is the appropriate way to segregate members. I agree w/ Dan that it should be an open forum that is more aggressively monitored. If something is not relevant or will help no one, drop it off the face of the earth. That will allow good debate and sharing of information from people who have 5,000 posts or 1 post. Remember, just because someone joined yesterday and has only posted once, does not mean they know nothing about the Ecotec engine or cobalts. Also, I would like to take a moment and support the idea that this should not be LSJ biased, which your quiz seems to be.

 

Im thinking all you have to do is have a moderator who knows what they are talking about. Anybody posts something that is useless or doesnt belong, zap, delete the post.

Having a high post count is stupid...ask any post *****
Member since is stupid...there are stupid people here that have been here forever
Quiz is stupid...you can find the answers online...but only if you know how to search

Its a technical section, anything that does not belong report it and a mod will delete it

I would vote for Dan too because I have seen some of what he can do and its beautiful!

 

I was honestly joking about the quiz. That is stupid, I think by invite or approval by mod is the only way it will work. You can't go by join time or post count, what if a guy with a crap load of mods and experience doesn't know about site, then finds it and joins. He won't be able to post in here because he would be too new.

 

That's just it, though. I'd fail that quiz miserably.

I have quite a bit of experience with engines (mainly SBC) and drag racing RWD cars, but none with 4 cylinders or FWD. But that doesn't mean that I couldn't contribute somehow. As I'm sure there would be many new comers in the same boat.

 

Hey Guys I just bought my 2006 Cobalt ss in may and im still new to the SuperCharged thing and was wondering if anyone could educate me on what you can do to make these things fast. I have already bought a smaller pulley and have the stage 2 belt and an intake on it and next is # 60 lb injectors. I would appreciate the held guys Im sure there is some real car heads on here

 

where is a good place to buy a 50 shot system for my stage3

 

I recently purchase a Carbon fiber hood for my cobalt with a sealed scoop is their anyone that can help me open that scoop and connected to my Injen CAI !

im in Los Angeles!?

 

this is the problem. These should be in the proper sections. Have a required join date so people have a better understanding where to post, but have an option if someone feels that they may have an answer (but haven't been here long enough) they can PM a mod, and the mod can allow them to post in said thread.

Along with an aggressive mod to destroy wothless posts.


I have 0 performance parts on my car but i will some day. I have questions because i would like to say the answer(s) for the future. I also have answers (not too technical) but i have answers from what I've learned first hand or from here

 

I guess it's all about what the persons opinon is of "advanced"
Before my SS I had a Cavalier, I did little things to it but nothing major. My SS is the first car I've actually MODDED. When I get a Stage 2 kit, that's an advanced mod to me. I've never done anything like that.

I know what you're saying though... I think we should keep "ADVANCED MOD" not so general. What about major [u]internal[u] modifications; i.e. pistons, porting, 6-speed conversion, automatic to manual conversion (and vice vera - WHO KNOWS!?)...

 

what is the best after market piston for the lsj thats out there? And would raising the compression ratio make a diff? from stock at, what 9.2:1 to any where to 9.5-10.5?

 

From the dead!!!

 

it rises again...

 

with a question in the wrong thread too

 

rele that was not a advanced performance mod?

 

shouldn't he make a new thread though? or did I misunderstand

 

idk man i just joined so i have no idea

 

i would say thats a pretty advance mod

to answer the question wiseco
