hi my name is eddie im from El Paso, TX i have actually own another cobalt 2.2 since late 08 but i wanted something with more speed and power and got the SS about 3 months ago. still working on the mods with my SS. wanted to post pic of my two cars but it wont let me upload them for some reason.

 

ok i got it to work hope you guys like the pics



This is my 2.2

 

You want honest opinions or candy coated?

 

You ruined my favorite color SS, shame on you.

But those wheels look good on the base what are they.

Just not going to say anything else, but you're representing the Fast and Furious crowd pretty well

 

hahaha well i actually got the SS like that wasnt my doing and the base those are some giovanni rims that i got pretty cheap and they are plasti dipped since they are old as hell. and thanks for the welcome lol

 

It better have been a good price then. What has been done to it performance wise?

 

just shoot lol i wont get butt hurt

 

performance wise it only has a k&n stock filter since i had it handy, and i got some drilled and slotted brakes. want to buy downpipe, intake, intercooler you know all the good stuff

 

Just after you do the downpipe get a tune as well as GMS1 sensors, you probably know but the LNF has a learn down feature so you won't make over 260/260 regardless of mods while still on the stock tune. FYI drilled and slotted rotors are only for looks.

 

yeah i know lol just saying thats what ive done to the car other than the head/tail lights and a double din radio. but yeah ive heard about that learn down feature that is one of the main reasons i dont have anything yet since i want to buy everything and tune it all together

 

or what would you recommend getting first without having to do a tune so fast?

 

I'd just get an intake (which you have), catless downpipe then get the GMS1 sensors from CED. After that get a tune, the stock charge pipes aren't bad and same with the stock front mount, it's just that the endtanks are plastic and those can break, it's more so of a reliability upgrade that cooling since the stock intercooler flows really well and even has a very good core.

 

what would the gms1 sensors help with? and i dont have the intake i just have the filter that goes in the stock box, was also thinking of getting the forged bpv

 

Able to read higher boost than stock. No idea why GM cheaped out knowing we'd be boosting 20+. Maybe to sell that over priced stage 1 kit.

 

ohh and where can i get those sensors at? haha well you know they make it on purpose to get more money

 

CED like I said stands for crate engine depot. If you buy the sensors through them you don't have to splice into the wiring harness.

Here's the entire kit but don't get that.
Cobalt, Solstice, HHR Stage Kit 19212670HK

Just get the wiring to make it super easy and source the sensors elsewhere.
Cobalt, Solstice, HHR Stage Kit Harness Adapter 19212670H

 

cool thanks, have you seen them in another site other than them? or are the sensors even needed?

 

Would you ever consider taking off those designs brah? Sometimes less is more.

 

well found it a zzp for much cheaper

 

I would but that would mean getting a whole new paint job. Ill prob wait it out then paint the car all over. Or just wait till I can actually afford to get the paint job but instead of using the money on paint I would rather use it on parts and get it running nice

 

Welcome to the site, paint that thing!

 

Welcome!

 

hahaha thanks, send me a few k and i will lol

 

Welcome to the site.

 

Thanks
