thats jimbo

jim or jimmy, james

 

na i know jimbo's got his shades on whos the one with spikey hair? i called him james his real name when i said right at first i didnt see the guy on the far right...

lookin > me


question, im on un-employment what are you and luke doing up still? just curious

 

well, im on leave. and Luke just stays up. usually we are the only ones up but its a decent night for the socal guys . 4 of us.

 

well make it 3 this whole week ive been staying late and the old lady is actually becoming jealous of the cobalt forum... seriously though think about the turbo build! it would be one hella monster that would murder someones zo6 cough ssmokin cough...

 

i dont know, i think Matt has a procharger up his sleeve

 

my wife got like that for a while, so she made her own sn and got on here herself.

this could be fun for him too:

those three are fine, i ****** hate jimmy though!

 

twin turbo looks sick jimmy

 

your an ass cole.....

 

i know i know

 

btw turbo that bitch don't trade in for new cobalt ss/tc, saab intake manifold 220, charge piping kit 200, turbo 700, wg/bov 450-500, custom dp 200, tag pulley delete 150. assorted other items 200, vulcan turbo mani 300. it's really alot cheaper than most people think.

 

im not unhappy im just saying its his car he can do whatever with it. glad you decided to keep it and go turbo though.

 

you always leave me out of roll call :[[links?

my first opportuinity to head back out that way will prolly be mid december...Navys gonna have me pretty friggin busy

 

hey james did the TB bolt right up to the saab? and so you only spent about 2500?

do you think the hahn level 5 is worth the 1500 more and be direct bolt on??? i want so bad.

it has a badass intake manifold, and im sure they would knock off 200 or so for having 60's and inj harness already....

then i would be selling my s/c and dual pass and manifold to makr up some of the 1500 extra... what do you think about this?

 

i really like the hahn setup with that intake manifold, the only thing i don't like is that they use an internally gated turbo. as far as the saab intake manifold, we had to have a tb adapter machined, it was like $80. the hahn setup is plug and play which is very nice, even though i'm more of a fan of custom setups, way cheaper!

 

see cole listen to me and jim.....turbo that ****..i'm a socal guy at heart...i'm tempted to roll down there when you guys have one of your big meets...

 

i will probably be training. pretty shitty. and i wont have my balt anyways, my clutch is done

 

sorry for my stupidity but what is the downfall to this? why does every one prefer external?

 

i think for the upgrade ability and funtionality. ii would get the hahn kit but with a different turbo and different wastegate

 

hmm why would hahn use it if there is something better they are usually good about those types of things no? im not disagreeing or wanting to argue i just figure if its good to 23-25 psi and can make 400+ whp off that then would i even need to upgrade?

this is why im glad i ask before buy! and thanks for the info cole

 

its about 360 i think and they made over 400 off the t3/t4 turbo

but if i do this im going jbp mild with stage 3 race head and cams.

 

internal gated turbos is a little flapper, and diaphragm solenoid very similar setup to the boost bypass solenoid on the sc, the biggest problem i have heard is that it's not as efficient. ie the gate is to small to allow the exhaust to bypass the turbine efficiently. or so thats how i understand it.

as hahn even explained themselves for the average joe consumer the internal gate is way cheaper and a hell of lot easier to setup.

 

what if i go with a little higher compression piston... i can make more hp right?

 

thanks jimbo, alright well the only reason i dont wanna do a custom set up is i dont wanna run into problems and issues that must be sorted out as they come up! i would like something thats been proven and is able to do in a weekend (so monday morning i can go drive that bitch) i am a instant gratification type of guy, of all things i hate down time...
