my cars on eibach sportlines, 2"f 2.5"r drop

 

what do you have lowering your car?

 

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?

 

i believe he's got Megan Racing coils, the same as me...

 

Yeah he did, I'm fairly positive.

I'm on ark dtp's.

 

my car does this sometimes too,and yeah im trifecta aswell, but im also having a missfire issue atm

 

Oh nice. Is it constant? Do you know if the HP tuners guy here is still doing it? Even switched back to their stock tune its doing it now

 

no it only happens every once in a while, i dont know much about the hp tuners nor where they do them around here, ive heard of a shop but no clue what its called and i think its in maple ridge.. do u know theres a local ecotec fb page, its called VanCity Ecotecs, there a lot of people in there that are local and know a **** tone about our cars

 

60-120 with new cai and smaller pulley.still e47.

 

my baby shes a work in progress some of the pics are before I lowered it

 

 

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?

 

Blocks fine.forged pistons,h beam rods and arp headstuds and your golden

 

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

 

Im pretty sure this has been answered, but just gonna ask. Can the LAP engines fit these?

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

 

couple newish pics

 

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?

 

No.I'm on a 2.7" with stock belt and oversized tensioner pulley.

 

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

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
