Whoa whoa whoa... You can lick lint out of your own belly button? Man, that's some flexibility that could prove useful to some people for other things... LOL

 

:/ hahahahaa

 

I know lol, I just don't know how. I gotta fly James out here to build it for me

 

Holy **** batman, I'm feeling much better now about my pistons. I thought mine were really bad. That is insane the way the piston is just melted like that. WOW! Thanks for sharing.

Or you can have JR Competition down here do it for you. They are 10min from my house and I can check on it for you while it's down here and send you tons of pics. They are great guys and their shop is just amazing to walk around. They have a 68 Camaro next to my car that makes 1100whp, its a pro skaters ride who is sponsored by DC shoes. Then, there are all the Corvettes you can think of from classic to ZR1, just chilling. Dude, just either drive it down or get a U-haul and bring it down. They'll take care of you. Check them out on Facebook.

 

You were my first choice lol(still are). I don't know anybody else who has experience with the LNF. I need to rake up some cash. How long is a usual build?

 

Everyone seems to quickly forget that before any of this, the trans will let go. The HP really isn't the thing to worry about so much as the torque and its delivery. Boost ramp can only do so much. That LNF trans will let go. Of course there are those that get away with it (Ford comes to mind) but in general, thats the first thing I would be worried about when you get to the kind of torque levels that come with 400whp (380-450wtq). Yikes...

 

did you ever buy the original pressing of Tool's Aenima CD?
(because I'm pretty sure packaging changed after the first pressing)

 

Ford, raver4768, Cmvt, donkey *****, etc. There are couple people here with over 400whp with okay transmissions. Just looks like it's the way you drive the bitch!

 

I suspect that it's all about how fast it comes in, and the driver.

There are many cars, Cobalt, or otherwise, which are using transmissions behind engines which totally surpass their torque capacity.

 

Its been almost 3 weeks now and they are finishing her up. I'm thinking of sending my Turbo out though whilel they finish her up for an upgrade. That might set it back a few days.

 

The list is about 40x longer than that for those that blew them up though.

I think the rate at which it comes in has to do with most of it but for those of us who have purchased our Cobalts used, you never know how the previous owner treated it. So that plays a role. Also, I seriously believe NLSing doesn't help the cause AT ALL.

 

Crap, 3 weeks. I gotta plan that **** out lol.

 

Is your car your only car? DD?

 

Yea, lol. Unfortunately.

 

Well just holler at me when you are ready and if you decide to do it down at JR Competition and I have the Sky I can work something out with you where you can take my GLi and use it while your car is getting worked on.

 

Googled, and then followed by faces. lol

Yeah. That. haha

 

You could google that??

There were (IIRC) for different images that worked with the original case to create a moving picture...

 

I've blown two on the dyno doing a pull and all the others which include a total of 10 now were during a pull

 

K04+ isn't seeming too bad now for me. 91 octane at 350whp seems like a safe level of power and doing a E47 here and there for 30-40 more whp keeps me right below 400whp, but then again all these other turbos can be tuned for less power if they want where as I'm maxed around 350 on 91

 

91 sucks. hell, you probably could get another 15-20whp just by using 93...e47 is the best bet, but mixing would be a pain in the ass.

 

Ive never had transmission issues. Been tuned since 3k. NLS like nobodies business...ask Stamina. I busted a ringland...replaced with WISECOS back in feb of 2010. Then upgraded to the 2860 which yielded no real gains except for about a 20whp increase in the midrange. Sucked ass so I went to the 2871. Still NLSd with that tuned for 26psi. I didnt have major issues until I installed the stupid supertechs myself which cause a whole SLEW of cascading failures. Dealt with that for a year until I finally replaced the head with a brand new stock one, rebuilt the BNR and slapped it all together again. Car is strong and knock on wood....my tranny is still in one piece

 

That's a lot more than I expected. Too bad we only have 91 here in high alt land I wish we had 93

 

Damn, man. That's one generous offer! I'll keep that in mind once I'm ready. I do have a friend in the car business so maybe I can borrow one of his. I don't want to take your car cause emergencies happen you know. I'll definitely keep you posted. Keep me posted when your car is ready!!

So, you think I should do 3rd gear pulls on dyno instead of 4th? I'm not trying to blow my tranny up the day before I go to the event LOL. Actually, I'm not trying to blow it up at all!!

 

Thats a pretty cool offer there man, way to look out for a fellow cobalt member

but ill have to check out JR competition. Im gonna need a build soon cause my milegage is up and wants that security especially after i upgrade my turbo

 

is it possible to use the treadstone manifold with any of these turbos?
wouldnt that help with any surging and/or heat building issues?
