Hey everyone!
My names Spencer and i just got my first cobalt a little over a month ago, and i love it the second i laid eyes on it! The only bad thing is only 2 days after buying it i blew the side of piston 4 out.. it had me pretty angry since i bought this car to replace my 03 tiburon gt. The good thing about that is that it means i just have a reason to build it up right now
So right now its a 06 Cobalt ss/sc, everything on the exterior is stock as of right now, but wont be for too long i hope
As of right now the block is at a machine shop here in AZ, its getting bored 20 or 30 over (depending on the size pistons i can get) i already have brand new set some forged Diamond pistons but they wont be able to be used since its getting a bore now.

Now on the some the the parts

• AIS Alcohol injection (Removing and going to run E85 instead)
• 60lbs injectors
• 2.7in ZZP pulley
• 3in Fujita intake
• ZZP Header and Downpipe
• Cobra heat exchanger
• ZZP solid motor mounts
• Revolution exhaust
• Ported Supercharger

Thats all i can think of as of right now
Ill post pictures soon!

 

welcome, Spencer. Enjoy the ride.

 

Welcome to the asylum.

 

welcome, glad to have you on board

 

you blew your motor 2 days after buying the car? holy ****

Either you drive bad, or you got the car really fucked up lol

 

Is it black?

If it is you never go back.

 

Welcome to the forums! I would be pissed if I bought a car and two days later the engine self-destructed, did it come from a dealer? Within 3 days any major flaws not described or mentioned are covered by lemon law, correct?

 

Haha well i wasnt really thinking when i filled it up and put 87 in it.. then i drove about 250 miles.. when i got home i boosted up to like 18-19lbs and then my car started to run bad and since i had no 4th cylinder anymore haha
It blew right above the 1st compression ring, around the back and out through the bottom of the oil control ring..

 

No lemon law on a used car, just buyer beware. ^

 

premium is your best friend and only costs $2-3 bucks more to fill up... sucks paying the price for gas, but better then motors

welcome aboard....

 

Oh yeah def only use premium. Nice build ur doing tho for sure

 

Yeah i think that would be right, but i bought the car used. It all checked out when i bought it.. but i was running 87, my alcohol tank was empty, and i boosted up.. big no no

 

Thank you everyone! yeah big mistake on my part putting 87 in lol, just a habit i guess..
i cant seem to find out how to post pictures on this thread, could anyone help me with that?
