So after fully rebuilding, upgrading, and customizing my motor, my sleeve and block on cylinder #4 broke, as well as ******* up my custom piston.
Yet another shitty day with my cobalt. I'm really regretting buying it.

 

What turbo do you have? And how many psi are you running?

 

I'm actually running a stage 3 supercharger and 20+ psi, I think around 23psi

 

lolwut

 

At that high of boost, just turbo swap it :l

 

Oh I thought you had an LNF. In that case, I agree with the user above, it would be bette to do a turbo swap I think, no?

 

Hahaha the people replying to technical posts dont need to be replying to technical posts.

 

by stage 3 supercharger, you mean the tvs one right

 

I'm in the same boat built my engine last year wiseco pistons eagle rods cometic gasket arp studs everything and my head gasket blew yesterday after I just installed a front mount turbo I onky had it on for two days before that I hadca rear mount turbo and not only that radio won't come on and I had my key stuck in ignition I think the bcm shorted out all this happened yesterday regretting ever modding this car

 

Okay what the hell is a front vs rear mount turbo.

 

I hope hes talking about a supercharger

 

Rear mount turbo goes in the back near the exhaust front mount in the front behind your exhaust manifold lol

 

Somebody actually did a rear mount turbo.....

*kills self*

 

Lol I think I was the second one with it not as bad as people think with the right diameter in piping it spooled good and had good mid power I enjoy it I do believe their more better on v8s but like I said it worked for me and it wasn't laggy as some people might think

 

Dear God, read that through. I hate when people have such awful grammar mistakes.

But pics are needed.

 

 

Sorry man I'm on my phone, just noticed all my spelling mistakes lol I'll post some pics let me just find them

 

I hope to hell your not pushing 20+ psi through an M62 lol that would explain the broken sleeve.

 

Here's how the front looked with the rear mount turbo I can't seem to find any pics of the turbo in the rear though

 

The big thing is the "more better"

 

I must say for some reason that TTR intake manifold looks familiar

 

Lol have you installed it yet?

 

Nope, give me a few months.

Have to prioritize saving up for my next semester before I can finish buying parts.

 

I am.. Sadly. Well not anymore since it's blown..
I'm not really sure what I should do since this is my dd & my other car is being used by a family friend of mine

 

what really sucks is I got this car 8 months ago, broke it the second day, then did all this work and I got to drive it for 1800 miles and boom, this **** happens too me. #becauseracecar
