Hey all just like to introduce my self, my name is jerin and I just bought a cobalt as a project car and I've heard this is the best place to get help with that, so if anyone is willing to help it would be greatly appreciated. so first things first I'm wondering where is the best place to buy parts?? So I can get this thing started!!!!

 

What year and model cobalt do you have? What are your HP goals? How much are you trying to spend $$$? What does it have already? (If it isn't stock)

 

^^ this
It all depends what Cobalt you have, what power goals you have and how much money you are willing to spend to realize your project. Bolts-on? Turbo kit? Block? Are you looking to drag race or drive it on a road course? For heavy mods, usually the places where everybody goes are either ZZP or Performance Autowerks

 

So it's a 2010 cobalt base model no special trim and everything is manual on the inside. I'm looking for more road track racing but I don't have a ton of money ATM but I have things I could sell and probably get close to 6,000$ But I'd like to get it running first so I need an entire engine and I'm pretty sure the guy I bought it from has the factory turbo, besides that I'm looking at things that are still legal on the road, (or at least not easy to be caught with) but I want to be able to perform well on the track

And it is stock and then missing quite a bit

 

Since it's a base and needs a motor look for 06-07 LE5 ecotec engine (with the oil cooler) this is the 2.4 that can hold about 400 HP in stock form. That's a direct plug and play swap with the 09-10's.

 

Wait is this a 2.2L Ecotec base model 2010 or is this a 2.0 LNF Turbo model 2010? Big difference there.

 

It's a base 2.2

 

He mentioned the previous owner still having the "factory turbo".

 

I assumed that meant who he bought it from has the LNF and he bought a LAP.

 

I'm pretty sure it's the LNF 2.0 turbo but I'm not 100% positive I haven't gotten the papers for it yet

 

You said everything in side was manual so it has to be a base then, or does it have power windows and locks?

 

Yeah it doesn't have power windows and locks

 

So it must be a base
