thanks for all the help with my build man, everythings running great with a lot of help from you.

 

always glad to help!

 

i will be using this

 

I see your using the AEM F/IC 6 HunterKiller89. just wondering how you avoid the code for (MAF) seeing as the F/IC 6 cant calibrate or clamp a frequency based MAF sensor

Also have you had any water issues haveing the F/IC on the fuse box, is that a safe spot? Ive taken one apart before and i know they are veary much NOT waterproof

 

its a sealed unit and seems pretty water tight, at least splash proof. Never ran into an issue with it, however i did ditch it for a trifecta tune. I bought the F/IC before Trifecta started supporting the L61.

 

oh im so close to finishing i can taste it

 

I was going to use an aem F/IC8 for my build cause that version suports the frequency MAF sensor and i have a lot of experience with the F/IC6. But the F/IC8 is almost $600 that along with the wideband and other equipment needed to tune it my self brings it to around 850 Trifecta doesent have the pricing on their wabsite for the Cobalt with that said compared to 850 between the F/IC8 and the gauges to do it my self is the custom tune worth it? they dont give an exact price on their website How much did it cost for yours?

 

it was below $300 for me...i think about $300 for you. my tune kicked ass! i definitely recommend it

 

Thanks for the info ill most likley do that insted saves me the trouble of doing it my self and a few hundred

 

Another question for you HunterKiller89, What all did you include when you were listing Vehicle Modifications when ordering your trifecta tune, just wondering what detals I would need to include to get the tune right

 

tell him every engine mod you have done, one he sends you a basic tune you can more then likely run the car, but i wouldnt go crazy with it because the ratios will stil need tweaked. run a data log and send him the file so he can see how the car is running, then he should send you back another tune file to load.

 

like the above, every performance mod and supporting mod you have. suspension stuff obviously doesnt matter, but mention exhaust stuff, cams, injectors, what TB you're gonna use, things like a transmission cooler, etc.

 

good to know

 

Were you able to use the stock brake hose for the manifold to the mastercylinder or did you have to buy the one for the LSJ?

 

the stock one just baarely fits. its gotta be held tight to reach

 

man i haven't read this is in so many years.
it brings back good memories
thanks for this how to, it def helped me out.

 

Yep - I'd suggest just getting an LSJ one.

 

glad it helped. I just wish it would let me edit the older posts so i can finish it.

 

Talk to a mod, and have them edit it for you.

 

im going to use the LSJ one make my life easier but i have a problem, i need to tell if the belt i bought is stage two or not i bought it off a member here not labeled or anything and i cant remember who i bought it from.

 

Stage 2 Belt is 1,767 mm in length.

 

cool. ill take some string and line it up in one of the ribs and then measure the string

 

Good idea!

 

Do you know the length of the stock lsj belt so I can see how accurately I need to measure

 

Hay HunterKiller89 whats the wireing like for the LSJ MAP sensor compared to the Map Sensor for the L61 Can I just rewire the plug or does it use a diferent plug? and should I rewire the AIT sensor to the one built in with the LSJ MAP sensor?
