Being a college student with no job, my budget is tight.

 

You can find a m62 kit for cheap, believe me your going to have problems. your talking to the guy who put a 1320 on his LE5 Sport a/t

 

how are you going to buy all this stuff if you dont have a job? and yes..you will run into problems that aren't accounted for...especially when going with an ebay kit

 

Don't worry you can get a new motor like me with 7k on it for 399 but 400 for shipping either way you can blow motors all day with the LE5 if you can do the labor yourself

here how about send me all the details on your car and we will work something out for a trade lol

 

Are you drunk or stoned when you create these threads?

IF YOU DON'T HAVE A JOB, YOU DON'T HAVE A BUDGET!

No way in hell you are going to turbo a car for $1700. Do some research man. You are just cluster fuking the 2.4l section with pointless jibber jabber. Start posting in the lounge.

 

Another eBay turbo guy.

 

Get this at least...

2 2 2 4 Ecotec Turbo Kit | eBay

 

You should just wait until you get a job, save up money and buy a good kit. Be patient.

 

I see this stuff all the time, my buddy bought a streetbike 6 months before graduation......


If you are in a school that costs $40,000 per year that you parents are mostly paying for (not saying this is your case but its common) and you go buy personal **** while they are paying for you to live......my dad wouldve whooped my ass if i did that

 

From the ebay link..

"This part is compatible with 195 vehicle(s)."

Hell, buy it, post up how much of a failure the kit turns out to be.

Why? because racecar

 

$85 for stock lsj injectors? holy **** thats expensive

 

by the way, if you need an intake manifold, im going to be selling my Hahn one soon. pretty cheap.

 

ebay= HAHA KABOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!

Do it right or get 100 problems, and rick roll yourself

 

I turbo'd my car for less than $1000, and my turbo is a real Garrett t3/t4 and that included a fabbed aluminum intake manifold, just gotta find the deals

FYI, no way in hell will you get to 400whp with stock LSJ injectors.

Hell 300whp might be tight if you expect a decent IDC, unless you bump your fuel pressure through the roof that is.

 

Well I was only going for about 220 or so at the wheel. I figured if I don't push it I will have enough time to swap the major pieces out

 

OHH! 30 or 40 extra horsepower.

I thought you meant 300-400 horsepower.

Shouldn't even need 8-10 psi to make 220whp on an LE5. Probably more like 4-6psi.

 

C'mon man $200 dyno tune?

LSJ throttle body? For what?

Well you're not a complete idiot, you understand what you are doing and you can tackle all the work and research yourself. He probably doesn't own a screwdriver.

See what I mean. All he needs is a turbonator. He doesn't even understand the basics and is starting build threads. Last week it was a SC build now its a TC build. Next week its going to be a twin charge, then a compound tc build, then a v8 swap, then rwd cobalt.

 

ebay kit: shitty; the end
zzp good
stock LSJ injectors
LSJ TB setup- not worth it at all, period
200$ dyno tune----lulz maybe if you suck a mean dick while he does the tune

You never go full retard
(eg:Cobe)



In all seriousness, You post up a lot of threads about what you planning on doing and not following thru with any of it. Its understandable if you are just asking questions or wanting opinions on what way to go about screwing around with your car, but from what I have noticed, a lot of this shenanigans could have been avoided with the simple click of the search button.

Do **** right the first time, so you dont end up spending more in broken parts, and so you can be proud of how much you polished your turd!

 

I've seen so many people do these "low budget" builds. Guess what? Its never a low budget. And considering you do not have a job I strongly suggest you reconsider doing this. I also suggest staying away from ebay kits. If you are going to do this to your only car then I suggest doing it right. I've been on my ZZP Air to Air kit for over a year now. I've seen 14psi with no problems. Although I do not suggest staying on that boost level. I sit nice and pretty at 10. I haven't ran into problems. And that's because I did it right the first time. Half assed builds yield half assed results. Just my wisdom to the OP.

 

Hey look op .. I havent read what the over guys are saying lol i have the same thread .. But ur going a lil over board.. Ps i am literally in the middle of my build like rn .. Got up to smoke and check css.. First i think u sould wait.. See what happins with my build .. Thats y i maid the thread so we can see wtf really happins.. Second.. Dont use that whole kit ur wasting money trust me i bought one very similar.. Heres ur problems .. U could have an awesome turbo.. Expensive name brand what ever.. Put a shitty wastegate on it and itll probly blow.. U could have a great tune (oh yeah tune.. Ur not getting a dyno tune for 200 is so show me where please) but with a shitty bov ur boost could be everywhere .. Also how do u plan to drain and feed oil ? Or how about that the zzp dp does not fit up to a t3/t4? I mean the list goes on.. Im not bashing u dude im getting bashed for my setup i spent way more then 1700 lol oh and that shitty fuel regulator .. Ur better off without a fuel regulator then the ebay ones.. Use a evay turbo and rebuild it yes .. Thats what im doing to see if with a rebuild and name brand supporting build will it hold .. Im going to post some pics tn .. Read the **** outa this forum man alot of guys on here did a great job putting stuff together to teach people things .. Not saying udk just could learn something

 

Oh and u want 30 to 40 horse power .. U could get that without boost .. And spend less money.. And order everything from a good spot

 

I have a stock LNF turbo kit for $ 800 with 25k miles on, if you are interested.

 

I wonder what happened to the op

 

Lmao so ur the guy who made 06cobalt2.4 gett that tattoo "because racecar" lmao

 

because racrcras!
