anyone else trifecta tuned? I just programmed it (haven't datalogged and sent it in yet) and after I let off the gas, the rpms fall off to about 550 before going back up to idle. Is this normal?

If I want to pulley down from a 3.1 to a 2.8 or possibly go TVS in the future, what should I be looking at in terms of building the motor? Or should I be looking to start with a new block and go from there?

What belt setup are you running? I'm trying to diagnose what sounds like a belt squeal. Also might have a little bit of knock from somewhere too. Fml

Wiseco Pistons Eagle Rods Ecotec 2 2L 8 9 1 86 5mm Opel Cobalt | eBay


Also are the 2009 cobalts axles the same as the previous years?

To add to this, for some reason my belt setup is so tight that I can't even fit a new stock LSJ belt on. Running gm stage 2 pulley, and the LSJ belt setup and even with the stock tensioner pulley I can't compress it enough to fit a new belt.

Any of the SC 2.2 guys have this kind of issue before?

You running a 2.2 alternator or the Lsj? Wondering if the size of the pulley is a bit different

It's nice to see lowered, awesome looking sedans. Makes me feel hopeful about mine.

That noise is when cold. It kind of goes away, but not completely when warm. It sounds like its coming from the tensioner area.

I have already put a new tensioner pulley on (the other 2 I had were kind of chewed up), then I tried changing the tensioner shock with another I have and same thing still (the odds of having 2 dead ones I think is slim, but mayyybbeee). With a wrench on the tensioner nub, if while its running I push back on it (as if to compress it) by a little bit it goes away.

Side note: The belt on there is a stock belt, that has stretched a bit. With a 3.1 I can't even fit a stock replacement belt. Its too tight. Anyone experience that? (directed to 2.2 sc people....)

Any thoughts? lol
