a .70 ar turbo on the LSJ is a little laggy.

ralliartist

^ yea, that's the kind of power curve I'm looking to avoid. lol

D1sclaimer

Rev it out higher or make the motor more efficient.

ralliartist

I'm already revving to 8k and the motor is as efficient as can be with the port work and zzp cams!!!!!!!!!

hey, found the intercooler I'm going to use.

ETS (95-99) 2G DSM Eclipse/Talon 7" Street Intercooler [ 2GDSM_IC_7ST ]

4" thick core. Should be perfect. There's a few cobalt guys running it on the 3" core making over 400whp and it works great, mounts right up under the crash bar too!

Or this one... http://www.treadstoneperformance.com...R8+Intercooler

July is a killer wait.

Damn i see well i was wondering when you got back i wanted to get the Nebraska crew together and i wanted to see how imense the eastern crew is we only have a few cars out here. I also want to see your car in person... and possibly a race might break out also since it looked like you had two diffrent turbo's that you might try a bi-turbo setup or something complicated but unique like that.

ralliartist

lol, car has been sitting since july of '09. I miss my cobalt.

ralliartist

Nah, that would be cool. But it's un-needed being that I can just use the M62. Why spend money on a small turbo and having to fabricate piping and what not when I can just use the blower?

A meet definitely sounds cool. We'll have to do it. There is more redlines/cobalts out in Eastern Nebraska/Western Iowa than you think. It's just getting them all together is the problem.

LE5_AJ

Yea probably 10x what we have out west and i know what you mean though seeing a bi-turbo cobalt would be awesome seeing someone pull that off but yea i should really be settled in by july, but depend on where i buy my car from in Feb. I may make an earlier stop but we'll see what happens. One of the other Omaha members mentioned a sweet go-cart track we may have to set up a meet to go to sometime.

Did anyone notice that the turbo outlet exits straight into the firewall?

Just needs to be clocked.

We got that covered.

Here is how mine sat

D1sclaimer

Yeah, theres about 8 bolts that you loosen that hold the compressor housing on, and you can reposition the compressor housing. You twist the housing to where you want it and then tighten the bolts back up. The term people use is clocking since you are twisting it like how a clock moves.

ralliartist

LOL, I just need to reclock it. It's a Vband so reclocking it is super easy. I think I'm going to do mine like yours though, point it down.


Can you post a picture from the back side of the motor looking directly at the turbo?

Mine is VBand. There is only 4 bolts on my exhaust housing.

I don't think i have one.

ralliartist

well that sucks. I'll be sure to take tons of pictures of mine.

Been a few months since I updated this thread, of course I've been deployed.

BUT.........I got great news today! It's only going to cost me $1050 to ship the cobalt from Savannah, GA to Bremehaven, Germany!!!!! That's a lot cheaper than the last quote I got that was 3500+. So looks like the cobalt will be for sure making it's way to Germany before the end of the year.

This is the best news I've received all year. I'm currently going through a pretty rough personal time (Divorce) and I've been down in the dumps and pretty silent on the forums because of it. So I'm pretty excited about this news because it'll be the only thing I have left to keep me from losing my sanity when I get done with this deployment.

07cobalt_LT

Great News to hear your cobalt will be with you again soon.

i know what its like to be on the road/ away from home and dealing with a nasty divorce. been there last year, its quite a shitty deal, but definitely having my car to play around with and a bunch of good friends and family definitely helped make things go a bit easier.

wish you all the best and hope things improve for you.

ralliartist

Thanks man, I appreciate it. I'm so looking forward to getting back to the states and getting her running again, then driving up to ZZP to tune and finish anything up.

But I'm also just ready for a break from all this that I've been dealing with. I'm ready to ride that Busa and meet some new people back home. Well, I've known most of these chicks but I haven't really talked to them because I've been married. But my facebook has been blown up by all these chicks when they found out I'm getting divorced. lol

Vetteman99

Sounds too me like you are a very lucky man then, I hope the busa and the cobalt are as much as a chick magnet as your facebook is

ralliartist

I wouldn't say magnet, but it's been fun to watch. lol

Man I know how you feel with the women situation as I'm going through a break up myself as of this week. Women can make ya wanna bash your head against the wall I know. But I'm doing the same as you just focusing on my ride, gym, paying off bills and hopefully have a good summer. Plus the bitches will always be there anyway so I'm sure you'll land back on your feet in no time. Good luck with your build man.

ralliartist

Thanks man. I'm not worried about chicks, the Busa will make sure I get laid when I want to. lol. But I'm certainly looking forward to getting my car up and going again and posting up vids of smashing vettes and **** on the Nurburgring!
