i pulled a manual balt today with all the same mods...could be a driver fail or my numbers are inacurate lol

idk man. I also dyno'd 121 bone stock on a mustang dyno. I made 168 with full bolt ons and on a dyna pack dyno.

donnnie

you should go dyno on that mustang dyno for your first one and compare those numbers

I have an 07 LS...auto...header, catless DP, SS/SC cat-back, Injen CAI, tranny and engine mounts, Trifecta tune. I have a 2.4 IM but it's not installed. I'm sure I'm in the same boat as you. I haven't had the car on a dyno since I bought it.

I put it on a dyno after I bought it just to see and it was 110.x hp and 112.x tq...so obviously if you think about it, all the stuff you've done...it's probably about right...I would guess my dyno maybe was a little off because the person that did mine didn't work with auto's on dyno's often...

But I'm guessing I would be right around 125whp and 120-125wtq. I'm thinking about either going ahead and putting the IM on and getting a TB and having it re-tuned...also considering the MPx crank pulley. Otherwise, I may say forget it and do the ZZP SC setup.

I should also mention I told Vince to tune my car for efficiency for right now...it's tuned for MPG's and I get 33 city at about 40MPH and I get anywhere from 30 to 40 highway depending on my speed.

donnnie

Your HP is about right but wtq is low the intake manifold makes a drop in low end tq

Sorry if it's been asked or posted, but I haven't read the whole thread...have you ever taken the car to the track? Do you know what you run?

Yeah that's why I think I'd be extremely happy just bolting the ZZP S/C kit on and leaving it at that...no more upgrades after that...I wouldn't want more power out of this car and I wouldn't want to have to build the engine to get that power. I also want to keep this car until it's had enough so I want to make sure it runs for me for a long time...so being my DD, it tells me stay away from the FI (for now at least). Maybe if I can find something else for a DD down the road...or just keep this as my DD and eventually get something with the criteria: from the factory turbo, manual, AWD, not too expensive...a lot to ask for, but it's doable...wish Suzuki would throw a factory turbo on their new Kazashi.

lol i went to the track before i got tuned after we threw it all on
i ran a 15.8....
funny thing is that i beat my buddys balt and he has the exact same mods but he was tuned
heres a vid of my first run of the night untuned(also my first time ever at the track so i didnt know how to launch)
YouTube - VID00117

donnnie

horrible quality vid but we did a dig again after i got my tune heres wat it looked like
YouTube - Me 2.2 vs john z2.4 dig run

0 to 70mph btw

when you have installed your TCM tune, what are your rpm setpoint by gears?

huckernage

you should change your CAI for a 3'' SRI. you can custom one with the zzp MAF adapter.

donnnie

honestly im not sure first shifts about 7200 2nd about 7k and i dont pay attention to 3rd because id already be at lk 95 and it takes to long to get there without being notice that im speeding haha

wat difference would i see from a full injen cold air intake
to a custom 3in sri

You might see a little more response and power from it. but it's also going to be hotter air... so pick your poison.

so afr is still fubar (reading approx 12 even at WOT)

Tundraboarder666

Lean it out!

007CobaltLS

Must make for a fun car, right? ::Sigh:: If only I had a manual...it would help.

donnnie

thx btw about the numbers, I was hoping for a lil more but its not bad

donnnie

is there anyone on here with a fully built cobalt all internals/tranny
and if so wat kinda numbers do they make

007CobaltLS

If you're talking built N/A...you're going to have a hard time seeing much more than 225whp...maybe you could see close to 250, but you're talking A LOT of work AND money. I know Tom's working on it, but not sure how far he's gotten with his second engine...you won't find many people putting that much into these cars.

It's not as fun/original in a sense, but I'd just throw FI at it and get it tuned really well and call it a day if you're looking for bang for your buck.

donnnie

i just want a semi build to handle boost better lk pistons rods sleeves head gasket and valvetrain

Tundraboarder666

You wont need to worry about the transmission unless you've got 350 wtq

my plan right now is to port and polish the head and get it retuned...if I see over 200whp (which im 100% pos. I will lol) then I may not keep going on N/A...its getting to the point that it is hard to drive...as in any stop and go and im done for. And I want to be able to drive my car! My alternate plan (possible not sure yet) is get over 200 whp N/A and then possible just toss an M62 setup on the front and see what happens (slightly increased compression, cams and all!) i can resell the intake, 2.4 tb, and 2.4 intake mani to someone (there are tons of buyers for those lol) and if it comes down to it the cam (although I really want to keep the cam!!!).

Just realizing that N/A albite really fun...makes the car undrivable on the street and thats not what I want...
