The balt is back together finally... runnin good, cept for the coastdown idle/stalling..




and of course my mascott

 

Good luck with getting everything to work right man, Keep us updated on the progress!!!

 

well its all coming apart again soon for the built motor, just haven't driven it in 2 months and wanted to justify the payments

 

What was wrong with it?

 

ummm heres the list of what I replaced
Intake manifold gasket
Super charger gasket
IC pump
IC core cap
cracked laminova core (don't ask me how that happened)
IC pump hoses
Injector o-rings
removed a/c lines
and I know there were a few more things

 

am i seeing things. but why is the header spot facing us? Shouldnt that be where the supercahrger is??? See what im saying?

 

those are the intake ports man... intake manifold and s/c were off the car,,
took me less than 8 hrs to remove everything fix the **** and put it back together and drive it off..

Cobalt PAul FTW!

 

ah goes to show how much i know about building a motor

 

lol it happens man

 

took me 5 1/2 hours with my buddy just to install a damn cat-back...damn it...

 

well if youve taken apart a cobalt as many times as I have.... it becomes second nature... I could tell you how many bolts and what size they are on any damn part of the car now

 

Okay how long does it take to put in 750+ whp driveshafts and how many parts need to be re&re'd

 

unfair challenge, lol

 

Trick question? do they even make a drive shaft that meets that torque rating for the stock lsj trans/steering knuckle?

 

Your right it was an inside joke as well as a trick question. Lets wait for the answer together.

 

I should be goin down there next weeks

 

ok update... new motor is finally gonna be built soon, My head is going in next saturday to have it ported and new valve train installed, also gonna have the stock cams reground for the hell of it.
just waiting for my parts to come in then the motor will be balanced and assembled by www.rippmods.com in SI ,NY. looking for about 450 whp on nitrous with the stock blower and once the turbo system is up and running I should be in the 500-550 whp range.. let the fun begin.
and Victory, I"m tryin to get in touch with the shop this week, hopefully get there at some point saturday afternoon and get the final measurements taken.
hopefully

 

I appreciate that.
Just to let you know I am at the point of the project where I am now working (out of necessity) with a couple of other companies trying to get driveshafts made. I am needing strong shafts sooner than later as the engine should be ready to go in by the end of the month. The first company to guarantee me that they can make shafts to hold 750+whp, and in quick order, will get my order.

 

I hear ya... unfortunatly I've been stuck cobaltless for the last few months so things kinda got put on the backburner til the car was running again. Still isn't 100% but its driveable.
but I"ll def be needed something in that range myself now since I'll won't be too far behind your numbers.

 

I look forward to seeing what you end up with once your done.

 

aiming for 550 - 650 and still streetable.... probably run it in the 350-400 whp in street trim though

 

paul ur a beast.....yo im gettin the 2.4ss prolly maybe next week. goin to chevy on sat. so then we can build up my car..lol. im goin red sorry man. i cant b cleanin my car every day...lol. wut is RIpp doing for u..the turbo set up?

 

Ripp is doin the head porting and motor assembly and balancing...
prolly do the install there...

and where the **** is mike.... I"m off friday and I really don't feel like paying a visit to his shop... tell him to contact me one way or another soon

 

sweet deal man...when is that gonna happen?

 

here we go again huh paul. LOL you'll never gonna give up on that car haha. I cant wait to see the nitrous in the car though.
