Who knows what kind of engine/fuel managment units are available to be used in any of the cobalts? I checked with greddy for their e-manage since i think that is a nice unit but they say it doesnt work for the cobalt as of yet but they are looking into it. I was just wondering if anyone has any info on units that will work for our cars. thanks

 

pretty much we are screwed when it comes to engine management. piggy backs have very limited functionality, as our computers will override most of them. intense racing sells a maf-t setup that seems to be working pretty good with their "270whp kit" that they are selling now. other than that, looks like you are going to have to wait for the gm flash, or until someone cracks the pcm and can produce aftermarket flashes or chips.

 

ok thanks, i wasnt aware of the maf -t setup, do you have a link to it?

damnit... i would be happy if the speed limiter wasn't there! I miss my 91 Cavalier... that didn't have a limiter!

Speed limiter huh.... What speed are you trying to go because I could have sworn there isn't one.

 

Doesn't matter if the car has a speed limiter on it or not there is still a SPEED LIMIT . Your local law enforcement upholds that. Plus it's just stupid to drive fast. Do it on a track

 

speed limiter should not be a concern unless you plan on trapping at like 140+mph at the track...which i doubt. and there's no need to be going that fast on the highway, so its pointless.

the point of this thread being that we can do very little to upgrade/mod our computer system in the cobalt. the maf-t setup is the only thing i've seen/heard of that works to adjust the a/f to get some sort of tuning out of our cars after modding the fuel system or air system. i've heard of people working on cracking some algorithms, but no products yet. do a search...there are TONS of posts about this stuff.

 

The Cobalts PCM's have to be the most heavily lcoked down PCM's in automotive history Welcome to GM playing in the aftermarket with their own products , that arent even out yet .

 

Greddy makes a management system you'd just need some one to tune it for the cobalt

 

the effectiveness of the e-manage would be VERY minimal because varying too much from the programmed A/F and the computer will take over and adjust itself. there really wouldn't even be any point. piggy back's simply are useless to us.

 

Can i get a link to this Greddy management system ?

 

are our ecu's worse than the celica gt-s because those were bad with resetting the computer and the only good systems that worked for those cars were the e-manage and apexi power fc

 

Thats where , at this point , the MAF translators ARE effective . As they trick a signal sent to the PCM making it think its getting more or less airflow , so the pcm is still calling all the shots . Best thing to do is just hold off a bit . There are enuff companies involved , I dont think it will be much longer before actual tuning is available .

 

If I'd wanted a lecture, I'd go to a driving class, thank you very much.
And yes, i plan on racing this on a track. My local law enforcement is a bunch of morons. And who are you to tell me what fast is? Do you have any idea where and what I am doing with my car? Didn't think so. Put a sock in it.

not everyone here is a 17 year old street racer.

Woah! Calm down man. I'm just saying, i've heard too many people getting killed for driving wreckless that's all. I'm not here to tell u what u can and can not do. Do what u want, it's just my opinion.
