Good to check the IC mine went out not long ago, i always here the pump rinning as i turn the key to the "on" pos and one day i noticed it didnt come on. Needless to say i replaced it. I have an interceptor always on IATs wish i had IAT2 tho.. whats normal IAT temps? Mines normally +/- 10* of ambient temp.

 

So this full blown cowboy comes in to my work today(cowboy hat,wranglers boots flannel,)Didn't think much of it.Help him out,look at the car he gets in to and was in shock.


and a video.Thing was fully bagged,had TV's.Was just badass!

 

Travs motor build, sending off to the machine shop tomorrow or Wednesday.

 

thats a nice set of wheels for that car

 

yea nice suspension setup as well.Car was way clean.It's a 2006 DTS on 20's and fully bagged.

 

I dunno why but that DTS looks super long, like it was stretched. So up-class. Would love a DD like that.

 

Steve you met pauly d today???




Lol jk

 

Well a DTS is a Deville Touring Sedan.It's a full size cadi.I was super jelly to say the least.I would love a car like that as well.

Haha that would of been dope

 

I had a bad intercooler pump on my ss/sc and said **** it and put a 50 shot on it before i sold it haha

 

like

 

The memories of the install night CRAZY! Lol

 

thinkin about becoming a Mackin Industries dealer (Muteki lug nuts)

 

2 am nitrous test run with burned hands

Anyone.have a spanner for coilovers? I need to raise my car!!

 

Any time someone lowers a big 4 door like a Q-45, DTS, etc they always look longer than normal. Low gives the illusion of length.

 

Excuse me???


Lol i had them dont know if i gave them to someone or not. I know evofire chris has some

 

Talked to IPT today after the. 'Builder' was a ass hat to me and said that my car has to throw a code in order for it to not shift or slip... there's no code. It is what it is. He said that it was an impossibility and that I don't know what I'm doing.... like really?! What a ******* ass hole. He also said he wouldn't be covering fluids or the removal and install or any of the shipping. . He said no one has ever broke one before so I must be well over 500 wtq. Okay fucktard! Needless to say I'm out a thousand dollars at least and wont be doing business with IPT again after this. Done with the cobalt. Finding something else

 

i gave my only spare set to you gay evo boy!

 

WTF... That is BS. Sorry they suck man.

Dude your car was pulling on 16 or whatever PSI, I wish we could have felt the 23+ ... Bullshit trans!

 

I don't know what to say Tyler. How where you driving when this happened? Where you driving how YOU drive and shifting it or letting it shift itself? What fluid is in it? Is it just slipping? trans filter is good? fluid level it good? fluid level can play a big role in the feel of a transmission.

 

We did about 4-5 WOT pulls and drove 20 minutes all together. We didnt notice the trans feeling shitty unitl after we turned the car off, I corrected a little bit of trims and he upped the boost. When he put from park to drive it felt loose (it didnt shift hard like normal). He put it in "I"

We then went to log more on the freeway and when it tried to shift it hung for a while then slowly slipped into gear (it was like if I were to ride my clutch). When it would downshift WOT it would try to get in a lower gear but couldnt, it redlined, then tried again RPMs dropped, then they redlined... So we stopped. He eased into it instead of mashing the gas and it had the same result.

When we got back to my place we tried getting fluid from trans with my vacuum pump but I couldnt get any from the port up top. I opened the port and stuck the tube in the tranny and got some on the side of the tube, still couldnt suck any. (not sure if I can get some from up top or not).

The fluid I got on the side of the tube had a brown tint and smelled like **** (burnt).

He used mobile synthetic trans fluid from what I remember. Something like 13-14 quarts. Unless the idiots at the shop didnt fill it again after the initial and before the tq converter got filled I dont see it being low.

 

Well Chris, you will know just as much, if not more then I will. I am just saying BEFORE blaming IPT out right, make sure that there is no human error. ie: low fluid, lose connectors, or any things else that could be QTI's fault before blowing off the handle and jumping down IPT's throat. Why not try a complete fluid/filter change to a conventional ATF? Not all transmissions like the same fluid. My dads 4t65EHD HATES synthetic fluid. Runs better with conventional ATF.

Also, I know that Tyler likes to shift his car likes its a 5 speed. Is there anyways AT ALL that this type of shifting could be atleast a little bit of the reason he is eating transmissions so fast.

I'm not blaming you Tyler. Just putting all the facts out to try to help you. Sometimes it can be the driving style that causes issues, and not the parts. Sometimes people have to change their driving style to keep stuff from breaking on their car. Maybe this is one of those times.

 

I can maybe think that it could be not putting enough fluid in by QTI because we didnt see any leaks when we got back to my house.

The only time he manually shifted was when he went to "I". Even manually shifting shouldnt matter, the trans still should be built for it.

Other than that I am out of ideas. All I know is something had to burn up because it smelled like ****. We thought it was the smashed bird next to us but confirmed when we go the fluid out of the trans and smelled it.

Its just weird that in the middle of 4-5 runs we didnt notice it but after we turned it off then back on is when it was noticed.

 

I think I might take off the cai I here a lot of people hating on them saying they **** the cobalt up? I dunno everything seems like a hassle with these cars

 

Sounds about right. IAT1s are not helpful, if the pump goes IAT2 is where its at. Sucks you dont have that sensor. Is the Tmap connection different than the regular MAP connection? Extra wire I am guessing? HPT has an IAT1 and IAT2 calibration and PID for your ECU but the IAT just reads 32 or something like that.

 

Is his trans cooler functioning properly? No kinked lines or anything? Whose to say QTI didnt put bulk fluid in and shelf the mobil 1? I would try a fluid/filter change and go from there, atleast change the fluid and MAKE sure that it has proper levels in it. The only way to know for sure is to do it yourself!
