if paul comes, tell him to by some turbo credits and bring some money and he can tune your car, god damm you will be like OMFGHOLYSHITTHISTHINGMOVES lol


I am guessing you just picked up a 09 ss...let see some pictures man and ideas that you have for it! lol I never met or saw you post before so Hi my name is Joe and I drive a 08 SS with full bolt ons and a nice tune to 20psi! soon 22psi...? lol
I live out east Manorville and there is no cobalts around me to hang with! boo ...sad panda!

fredds-turbaltSS

he can tune it right then and there? how much money are we talken you know?

i have no pictures of my wip yet...it is an 09 black, right now its 100% stock, with only 1500 miles, i got it about 2 weeks ago. I have a CAI at the house waiting to be put on, just staying with that and a tune for now, im sure DP, charge piping will be next. I absolutly love the car very happy with it. And my names Frank most of my friends call me fred hense fredds-turbalt ha...Anyway hopefully ill see you tonite? Im waiting for a nice day to do a full detail befor i get any pictures up, oh and im from babylon...

WaRRioR-StaTuS

Yeah it took about 45 min to do my car or so, it was 250 and now the car puts down 310+whp and 360+wtq

He has been tuning cobalts for a VERY LONG TIME and has alot of respect man, he knows what he is doing, if you are unsure about the tune, come ride in my car and be prepared to **** your self lol

He does a ton of stuff to the car but I know redline was raised to 7k and boost is at 20psi

HIValicious

Won't be there tonight. Still in FL.

fredds-turbaltSS

maybe Paul, witch the first time i went to my local AutoZone one of the guys in there told me about him and said i should deff. go thru him for the tune, i never meet him thought. Paul chime in if youll be up there tonite....I rather wait for next weekedn to spend the 250 but hey it would be great to meet you and talk about it first anyway. I need to make the this ECU i have will just be plug and go he says every 09 he put them in did not need a clutch relearn, if thats the case the tune well be soon!!

WaRRioR-StaTuS

if Pual comes tonight, bet on him not being there for a few weeks as he just bought a house upstate and he is doing alot of work to it, as well as he just bought a TT RX7 that he is also working on hard to make it the fastest ar in the world lol haha, either way freddy if your gonna go out tonight, ill come out to hang with you and we can talk lnf lol

fredds-turbaltSS

sounds good...you know anything about changen out the ECU, i assume i should disconect the battery first right?

HIValicious

Yo, where in Babylon you live? I live in Lindenhurst.

fredds-turbaltSS

Im south of montauk in babylon village, will you be headen out tonite? Any info about the ECU if i wanted to go back to my stock i wouldnt need to re calibrate it or anything right?

I'll be out there tonight with my car (I've been dying to drive it for the last few weeks lol), should be up there @9:15 or so, car will be dirty as ****, but I really dont care I just want to drive the thing. I'll bring the LOD with me too, just let me know if you definitely want a tune tonight so I can get the credits, if not, I probably won't be back around for a few weeks as like Joe said, I just bought a house upstate and am trying to move next weekend (plus 3 cars I have to transport and all my cobalt spare's). also the RX7 might be done next weekend, so I may come back down next friday night, but not definite.
As for ECU swapping, I hope you're not talking about in the 09 cobalt because it will not work. totally different computer in there.
As for tuning, I save your stock file on the laptop (backed up on a memory stick and my desktop at home) that I could always erase the PCM and go back to stock in about 5 minutes.

WaRRioR-StaTuS

in that case I will be there around 8:45-9:00ish

Paul will it cost anything to boost up to 22psi?

fredds-turbaltSS

well the extra ECU i got is for the 09....i gave my VIN for him to upload the stock calibration, was this a BIG mistake?

ill get up there around 9 then also...If this ECU was a waste of 215$ ima be heated, the whole reason i got this was so i can have two ECU one tuned and one stock.

If it's the correct bosch PCM then you should be fine, you will have to do a crank relearn and security relearn more than likely.

WaRRioR-StaTuS

well....I dont know about the ecu or anything but there isn't a point of having two when we have PAUL lol

like he said, what he does is keep the stock tune and can switch in about 5 min if you need to go back to stock tune, then a retune is like 30 bucks or so... havning 2 ecm's only means you can switch to stock tune in ur driveway when you want rather then waiting till a firday night or meeeting him half way..... but then again I don't know about the extra ones expecialy on a 09!

But I will see you there man looking foward to meeting you!

should I bring money if I want to boost to 22 psi or is that simple?

fredds-turbaltSS

ok and if i take out the original and swap it out and need those things is this something a dealer needds to do or? the car will be drivable still? Would the original one need to re-learn anything if i ake it out? And is the correct term PCM for the 09 cobalts? i no its all the computer and different cars call it something different.

06blackg85ss

iTrader: (1)

I'll try to get up there @9pm then. And no prob man, I'll take care of you on this one.

I should be able to do the crank relearn tonight, not sure if the new pcm is fully supported in that aspect yet though by the software I have as I haven't tried it out yet. It should be driveable, you might have to do the security relearn on the car first though (procedure is on this site somewhere, just do a search). Anytime you swap PCM's you have to do a crank and security relearn so the computer knows where the crank is in relation to the firing order.

fredds-turbaltSS

well i would love to lose a race then drive away pissed off take 5 min to add lets just say mayb 50 hp haha...and for track purposes, and i drive 70 mile RT for work so the tuned pcm will only be for the track and mayb a weekend or something...

WaRRioR-StaTuS

I am confused about the term too but people will understand no matter what you say, lol

and Thanks paul hopefully 22psi will be a noticeble difference, do you think it will be a dumb idea to go 22psi for my daily driver, like blwoing things up is way more possible this way or 2 psi jump should be like cake...or cupcakes lol

fredds-turbaltSS

well im sure if you bring it up to that PSI every gear it could lead to bad things....when im driven around thought i try to stay outta boost so if you drive similar i dont see any issues with it...im not going to lie thought that would be FUNN haha

HIValicious

I won't be out tonight. I'm still vacationing in Florida. I'll be back March 19th.

WaRRioR-StaTuS

booo warm weather till it gets here lol


hey there is a really nice site that is made for the lnf cobalt where Paul, mezz and turbalt should be
I post there under the same name as I do here

Paul you can answer alot of peoples questions there
Mezz and fredd there is nothing ut lnfs on that site so it can be helpful
lnf performance .com
with out the spaces, for some reason it will not let me type it out on here of it looks like this ****************** lol

fredds-turbaltSS

Thanks for the new site, this crap is like crack man, you find one topic and interesting and you just have to keep up with it all the time haha. Anyway i need to get off here for a while and actual do work ha. See you guys tonite...

06blackg85ss

iTrader: (1)

yeah can't really be on here too much during the day. but I can answer any and all questions you guys may have tonight.
As for driving around at 22+psi as a daily driver, **** I do it all the time with mine. You only hit 22psi at WOT anyway, which during a normal commute you shouldn't be doing anyway (unless you're crazy like me lol).
Part throttle cruising and fuel mileage and such will remain the same, only real change is under WOT 100% throttle driving.

and that LNF site = fail from what I hear. I was invited on, signed up, but they started banning my friends right away so I haven't gone on.

WaRRioR-StaTuS

yeah I am abit addicted to boost sometimes, and yeah the lnf site is ok, i only have posted 4 times and its pretty quiet on there lol o well i will see


But as for being addicted to boost, honestly I cant feel boost really at all, I see the rpms and the speedo moving thorugh nubers like crazy but I cant feel the power, everyone else says HOLYFUCK it pulls and I spank my friends cars but I just don't feel it anymore, maybe I am used to it, or I am just focusing on the road and gears that I dont pay attention lol

fredds-turbaltSS

Well Paul i didnt get you an answer about the tune but if this PCM works like it should i will want it done tonight, but if it doesnt go well wouuld that be a burdan at all for you to have to bring w.e. it is that you need and me tell you nevermind about the tune?
