New here with a few questions

Hi everyone,

I'm not here to troll, I don't have a cobalt, but would like some info concerning one of your members possibly. We have one of your members trolling our forum (msf.org) currently.

Here are some pics of his car:







Claims to be making 397 whp, here is the dyno he posted:



Hahn claimed to only make 360 whp on a dynojet. He claims he is making 37 more whp because he got a Trifecta tune. After looking at the dyno, I have concluded that either this isn't a good tune, or he's got some issues for power to be falling on it's face very much like a stock Mazdaspeed3. Maybe he's using some happy correction factors, don't know for sure.

He seems to be trolling our forums picking fights. I don't know much about the Cobalt other than the Trifecta tune is awesome and you guys share the same turbo as us. Anything you guys can tell me about this member and tune would be great. Not here to troll, just here to get some info I'd post picks of the Speed, but they may come off as trollish and you'd probably just crack up at the sight of it's big grin

PS: Is Marissa still here?

FYHN,

-Ama

uhhh lol well i live in colorado and have never seen or heard of this guy not even on our local forums, depending on what HAHN kit he has on the car will depends on the power, i mean it was a supercharged cobalt(LSJ) but took off the supercharger and turboed it, so it has the potential to run 400whp but it would need alot fo supporting mods and a really good tune, but it might be BS as well....i mean who knows that might not even be his dyno sheet, there is no proof its his at all....

He did indeed take his S/C off and replace it with this kit. So my other question is: Is that a power curve like you'd see on a Trifecta tune with a turbo capable of 500 hp?

Looks like you LNF guys get the smoking turbo mod like us Mazdaspeeds do lol

Marissa: Mazdaspeed Forums

Otherwise known as SlobaltSS on our forum.

He doesn't have a K04 like the LNF, it's a bigger one. As you already know, a K04 can't flow enough air to possibly make that much power. He had a SS S/C and swapped it out for a Hahn turbo kit.

Numbers are not really in question, its the power curve. He is boosted at 22 psi yet is making less torque than a stock Civic Si at red line?

Link to a thread he started on msf: The Adventures of Cobalt Boi!!! - Mazdaspeed Forums

It gets good later on lol

Dicks? Maybe, but he didn't bother to search. That topic is as worn out as the "What is the best best intake" or "CAI vs SRI" threads. Plus, our mod helped him in the first reply: The Adventures of Cobalt Boi!!! - Mazdaspeed Forums

That's not your guy though, he's the friend of the OP.

holy crap he got instantly flamed and cursed at for like the next 3 pages, not one person even attempted to politely tell him to **** off, just insta bashing.

I dont know LSJ's super well, but S20G with all the supporting mods and a good tune those numbers are possible. Falls flat on its face because its a dyno run, probably getting hot or not getting enough air at WOT from standing still who knows, but the numbers are very possible.

LOL, it's msf, its what we do best. Anyways, back to the tune.

Here is the Hahn set up like he has: Cobalt 2.0 Performance

Note that they are making waaaay more power up top than his Trifecta tuned one is. Something doesn't add up. I am all too aware as to what heat does to power, I have a restrictive inter cooler and a K04 lol

He now claims that he only runs 15 psi in the winter, can the LSJ not handle higher boost in the winter? We get a little load cut here and there, but I'm running 18 psi just fine at sub 30 degree weather.

Hello,

I don't like trifecta tunes, could be why his doesn't make optimum power. Also, in CO I wouldn't want to be running high boost. Hello tires spin and running into walls because of icy roads.

That's not your guy though, he's the friend of the OP.
Plus you guys posted pics of him, his gf, his family, his home address, his dads business and said some fucked up **** about his girl friend. At the end of the day you guys called him names first and called him a liar about his numbers in which he proved you wrong after he found his dyno sheet which makes you guys look dumb. So he proved you wrong with his dyno sheet and now you want to see if his dyno sheet seems realistic by asking cobalt members? So if one or two uneducated members on here say it doesn't seem realistic, such as the guy above with the yellow lnf who apparently doesn't know the diffrence between ss s/c rims and t/c rims, your gonna go back there and say cobalt members say your numbers are bull **** when they aren't. Your wasting your time here. It's obvious if you go to another car forum and mention that you own another car which is all he did you might get flamed but you guys took that **** over the top. That's just my opinion though. Another funny thing is that over here you will find that members will probably disagree with me and standing up for this kid unlike you guys who are like fucked up fifth graders taking advantage of the kid with no friends. Even your moderator was a douche. Get the out of here. /thread

what a waste of time. yes those numbers are possible. and there is no reason to be pushin 20psi in the winter half the time you dont get to use it. the guy will get flamed wether he is telling the truth or not so did you really have to come here and ask? no go home.

Oh, hai marissa

We miss you! Philly says he misses you too! muah!

Dude was already caught lying guys, claimed he never posted here, however, we have proof he did 2 days ago. He was also calling us all kids, turns out he's the youngest person on MSF lol. We call BS on claims when someone fails to back up their claims with an immediate dyno, I've been in the car tuning world for 8 years, and I call BS until solid proof is given. Holding to blind belief in bullshit or claims can make the believer into a bigger fool.

Also found out he wasn't making 397 whp actually, more like 320 whp for now. So basically, he can keep up with the average MS3

FYHN,

-Ama

lol so your saying because he has his boost turned down which takes two seconds to adjust hes not making 397. He proved you wrong dude. Get on with your life and get the **** out of here.

397whp seems accurate, the S20G isn't very big mind you. And to turn the boost back up literally takes less than 5 minutes. So that dyno graph is probably what he did make in the summer maybe.

Thanks for being nice Marissa

Blackss2.0, please reread original post and post # 9. Numbers were not really the question

And proving me wrong? No, not believing him until he backed his claims. I'm a realist, not an idealist. Dynos a waste of money? Well then, don't make claims unless you've wasted some money that enables you to brag. I know it only takes a matter of minutes to turn the boost up, I have an AP, this isn't news to me.

Only reason I questioned the dyno was the power curve. Hahn said the s20g was capable of 500 hp, using what they said, I concluded that the tune must be shitty, or this isn't even his dyno. A turbo capable of 500 hp wouldn't be running out of breath by 5500. Compare the dynos from Hahn to his dyno, I hope you can understand what I saying.

Compliments of Hahn's website:

You requested info on the member. What do you want us to tell you? Seems you guys already invaded his facebook so you already know more than us. Maybe you weren't doubting his numbers but half of the forum was. I don't see what else you need to know. Yes, his tune could use some work but it stll peaks at 397 whp which was the only reason he posted the dyno since everyone called bs. Why do you care about his power curve? lol. I never said anything about dyno's being a waste of money so you must be referring to someone else. Though I will say dyno's should be used as a tuning tool not a way to measure **** size.
