And my mods on my sig. Goal is 350-400WHP.



My first stage is: Reading Which means learning about mods, parts, equations, CFM etc. I downloaded the GM handbooks. Also, this stage includes planning, and budgeting. Please, bear with me, I'm an Electrical Engineer, so I don't have that much skill has the people on this site.

Second stage: Getting in shape my old 1986 toyota. Cobalt is my DD so I can't start mods until I have a backup car to drive to work. Someone suggested me once to put a 2JZ motor on it. Also, I'm waiting for tax return so money is coming eventually.

Third Stage: Complete planning, budgeting. Which means, a complete list of parts, part numbers, vendors. Logistics: what to do first, that is, best route for mods economically speaking.

I will be slowly updating this thread, so feel free to add comments.

pecorillif

i would suggest getting a mid length to long tube header, tvs = more air, gmpp manifold = sux

jgarciarivera

iTrader: (1)

Turbo Tech Racing Upper Engine Mount and STOP Transmission Bushings

jgarciarivera

iTrader: (1)

Only 93. Don't have e85.

I can send some corn down there

jgarciarivera

iTrader: (1)

Added to the list. Thanks!

That will be great! TTR for the win.

TurboTechRacing

iTrader: (24)

Problem is shipping... A bushel of corn is about 56 lbs... + $7 per bushel... Might get spendy

Omnigear

Powell Rotated mounts

the real question is Aaron, is ita bushel on the cob or shelled? Lol a sad attempt at a joke I know, but Ive grown up on a farm and handled a bushel of corn in both those ways.

TurboTechRacing

iTrader: (24)

LOL, Me too!

Shelled is ~56 lbs, why ship a cob, unless he wants to put one up someones @$$

alleycat58

What size pulley are you planning to run? If you don't have access to E85 you're going to need meth [EDIT: or some other way to add lots and lots of cooling] to be able to run enough timing to hit those numbers.

This is my car:

https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/dyno...5-dyno-246633/

Have since added a ZZP header, but did not re-dyno. Car needs some more work first. Bad coilpack makes it sad panda right now, but I have house mods to do first.

sjc0013

iTrader: (6)

Definitely a heat exchanger, unless I missed that and you already have one lol

RooTBeeR

iTrader: (4)

<dual pass, option b, long tube, K&N cone filter, bkr7e, 60's, tvs(80mm), 93...needs more timing in the low-mid range but so far making around 275hp 235tq

i need a phenolic spacer

jgarciarivera

iTrader: (1)

Yeah, the phenolic spacer is a must. You're referring to a 80mm TVS pulley right?

jgarciarivera

iTrader: (1)

I guess I will be starting with the default pulley 3.1" to create a base dyno pull. Following a 2.9" and finally a 2.7". Parts will be installed prior the 2.9" pulley (cooling, etc).

About Meth, well, we'll see what happens.

RooTBeeR

iTrader: (4)

yeah
Progress, there's more in there though...
(blue line is m62 3.35" pulley, boost is so high in all of these pulls because of ~30.0X barometer) a few days ago, it was ~29.4 and boost was only 19.3 @ 7200rpm

Powell Race Parts

iTrader: (3)

meth? pre-blower? I wouldnt.

jgarciarivera

iTrader: (1)

Wow, I never expected meth to do that. Guess I'm going witout meth.

RooTBeeR

iTrader: (4)

if you dont want/cant run race gas/e85 and want that much power you need meth, just get the zzp blower spacer that has two 1/8" npt's for meth/extra vac/boost line or just plugged
