i think my pump is on its last leg. My iats were getting high every now and then. It flows but i dont think its flowing at a healthy rate.

 

Give it a gentle tap with a rubber mallet.

If it improves for a bit you will know its time for a new pump.

 

i already tried it works for a little then it goes back to being gay.... the one night i was out and cruising they hit 132* and i hit a bump and then they fell like a rock lmao im buying a new one no matter what. If it dont fix the issue... turbo time

 

 

i passionately hated every time working with our IC lines. I mean i know they are not that bad but the combination of half of them being hard to reach, cutting myself on things, pliers breaking loose from the clamps and pinching my fingers, THE FEELING OF COOLANT ( ) still having small leaks no matter what, and at the end of the day still having decent temps at best? So not worth the hassle. LOL

 

im with Rice on this one, the intercooling in the car sucks donkey *****. figure out a way to run ice water through it or go turbo lmao

 

It really doesn't though... I've never had an issue with my IAT2 temps. Even when I tested small pulleys.

You don't need to run ice water to have good temps. You need to have a properly bled cooling system and quality components.

A ported head and free flowing exhaust does wonders for IAT2s.

Also, people get so caught up on IAT2's. As long as they are maintained below the threshold of pulling timing frig em and make power.

 

You just like to disagree with people

See?!

 

Not at all.

I state fact, and try to help people that are discouraged or led in the wrong direction.

 

hope so bro!!

My pump is only like 2 years old. crapped out on a dyno day matter of fact... made some nice numbers with my 200+ iat2 temps ... we cut it short after that 2nd run lol

My temps stay pretty low. even after a hard 2nd to end of 4th gear pull (130 mph+) on a milder/hotter day I don't think they even get above 150-160. I'll have to compare my ported m62 to my TVS (IAT2 wise) Ill be running a bigger pulley most likely so should help.

 

Just a little update.

I am most likely parting with the balt

Never thought it would happen this soon, but I'm looking to get into something a bit more prestigious. Nail in the coffin was when I went to the dealership over this weekend, fell in love. Should have never went lol. Checking out another car tomorrow (very specific and rare car I want so there aren't many out there) and a different one this weekend.

Few parts will be coming off. Car will most likely be GM stage 2 for new owner. I may be trading the balt in to a dealership which I really don't want to do. It's actually sad considering how much I babied this car... its still mint. I rather it go to an enthusiast or someone on here.

Anyone need a nice daily? 07 LSJ, 73K Miles.

I will try private sale first, but they never seem to sell quick.

 

Pulling a riceburner! Shame

 

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Riceburner has started this terrible trend. He must go!!!!

 

Damn that sucks not another one

 

I'm about to go Shang Tsung on your guys fallen cars. Steal their soul/power after they are killed

 

This is sad to hear.... Hope your car goes to someone who will take good care of it

 

Dibs on wheels

 

Lol for what your going to put them in the truck?

 

Same bolt pattern bro :shifty eyes:

 

Well I guess that works lol ,I can't believe you might part out tho

 

Sooo.... what are the cars ur looking at man??

 

Most likely german. RWD, 6 speed, coupe (that narrows it down a bit.. any guesses)

I'm also test driving the new mustang 5.0 on sat and may look into subaru wrx and/or sti, but those are lower on my chain rn.

 

Nice that sounds like a good replacement

 

if you get a 1m you will completely redeem yourself for getting rid of the cobalt lol!

guys i was trying to get a mint low mile LNF but my dad and gf talked me out of it lol. looks like i'm gonna get a wrx or something later on.

his wheels will be for dibs now haha. : IMO those are the sickest wheels you can get for your balts and for the price he wants for them, a total steal. if i was sticking with my balt i would have them in a heartbeat.

 

Do it rice lnf ftw
