Haha, there's a name i haven't seen in a while. Me and you were the O.G. 2.4 s/c's. Im living south of San Francisco right now. Cars running pretty good right now. want to put her on the dyno eventually. You still rolling your original 2.4 around? How many miles did you put on the kit?

 

Welcome back dude, your build thread was a big help in my build put a 100k since and still going strong

 

Nice good to hear. What size pulley you running? I was chirpin' the tires on the freeway tonight. This thing has Torque!

 

Post some videos. I've thought of getting a base Cobalt and throwing my SC setup on there that I have laying around. UNLESS... someone is interested in buying it. *wink*

But seriously, videos would be nice. I have looked at your How to many times. Well done.

If by any chance you are looking for some 60's to fuel that 2.8, let me know. I have the harness and everything.

 

I've been running a 2.9 pulley since I put the blower on, but will be dropping down to a 2.8 soon.

 

what are you asking for the 60's and what style connector do they have? If i decide to go E85 i'll probably need the 60's

 

I have about 80k boosted miles. Still running strong. I keep killing intercooler pumps so I've given up on smaller pullies. Taught myself to tune because I couldn't trust anyone else to do it. I have much more expendable income these days than when I was in college back in 07. Pretty sure I'm going to dump the s/c, new forged insides and turbo it.

 

Not sure the 60s will be enough if you decide to go e85 on a 2.8.

Right now my IDC reaches about 91% with a 2.9

 

What size pulley you running and what are your IAT?

 

And you're currently on e85?

 

Yes sir

 

I don't remember exactly anymo but its hot.. Its been years since I last logged and still running the 3.34 pulley.

 

oh damn.

What intercooler are you running? maybe thats the problem. I'm running 2.9 on this cobalt and also on the first one i supercharged and havent had any terrible heat issues. my intake temps are in the 100-120 range depending on how hard im on it lol.

 

im planning a big party next month ur welcome to come up and hang. gotta have a keg and everything.

 

U still thinkin about having me tune ur other pcm for e85..
Ur spinning the tires on 91 right now..lol could only imagine wat ur car would do on e85.

Its amazing how much low end power these le5s make with a sc.

Beck next project F35 swap to top it all off.

 

Ya its amazing how stable ur temps r with that lil zzp s3

 

your restriction is around 10 psi right?

that's you're answer

 

Beck, what do you have the SCIP wired to?

 

its not i actually just have a pigtail in the sensor and its tucked behind the boost bypass valve.

 

That's what I was thinking, not really needed anyway. Would love to know if someone has figured out how to pin the ECM for IAT2's so I could use the MAFT and MAPT. Not a fan of having my IAT timing retard based off of IAT2 temps. They don't quite scale correctly.

Did any of you guys ever properly install and scale down a tune for 60lb injectors and a 3.00" or smaller pulley?

It's on my list to do, but I have to get my A/C working first since I live in FL and the 6 rib compressor I bought ended up being crap. Have to pull off and swap my clutch, pulley and holding coil to my original compressor.

 

im running a 2.9 right now but with 45lb injectors

 

If i go e85 i'll probably go 80's tho with a 2.8

 

I offered to put my 80s in becks car so he can try e85. I know he would like it and not give my 80s back lol. His car is ridiculously fast right now for the mods. Couldnt imagine his car on e85.

 

Beck, who is tuning your car? After the rebuild (forged rods/pistons 9:1 and new valves/springs & turbo) I want it tuned right. Need someone that knows what they're doing.

 

Tjolley is tuning my car right now out here in Nor Cal

Here's some new pics of my freshly powder coated valve cover, strut bar and coil cover.
