they base all their work off the vid red's cobalt. so they have done it. but it will take a months and i hate the down time too

 

thats true, with a custom setup you will be figuring out things as you go. it's a good way to learn though, i have learned a **** load in the process of specing and doing my setup. i had a lot of help from people who have allready done it though.

no need just use the boost controller to up the boost, less risk of kr. most turbo applications run lower compression. i'm running stock compression, but i used a multilayer cometic headgasket so that lowered my compression a bit.

 

damn, thats a good idea. i didnt know you could do that. i want to run a gt35r but i hate the damn spool rpm. do you have dyno graphs or a dyno at all Jim?

 

not yet, the car hasn't been to a dyno.

 

wtf?

 

no use yet, i didn't finish tuning it till the night before it got on the boat, i had a lot of major leaks to fix on the car and quite a few other issues i had to fix just to get the car to run right. besides the fact i shipped my boost controller to germany before i got the to test it out. so i have been running a max of 15psi when i will be running 20 psi daily, and 24 for racing.
i will have 2 tunes as well, track tune for 24 psi w/meth, and my daily driver tune.

 

hey cole you could always buy this for 4k and smoke nearly everything on the road, lol

its good for 11's without breaking a sweat

i have been wanting to procharge since forever. lag ftl. but i dont know how much hp i can get out of a procharger. and i have not found anyone who can do it

 

on the lsj the procharger doesn't make any power till damn near redline, useless imo. and you think turbos are laggy...........

 

serious?

4500... hmmmm

 

yeah ******* gas dude doesent make it fun anymore id rather have a 30+mpg cobalt that runs high 11's low 12's but yeah cheap thrills on isle 3! will except trades (hahn level 5 kit only)

 

hahha yep

for a 2.2

im reading the 50+ pages on the procharger build thread right now, i will be here a while

 

yup, i rode in matts procharged lsj, he would wind it out and right at about 6k it would hit real boost and bounce off the rev limiter. i'll stick wit muh turbo lag.

 

did they ever make a kit? speed mafia?? whatever happened to it? how did the cobalt run off that setup?

 

as far as i know speed mafia is the only company to produce a kit. the car ran fine on the kit, just the power wasn't there till the top end. and as far as i know he sold the kit to a 2.4 guy that has an ion.

 

i was on speedmafia.com and didnt see a kit for the 2.0. what kind of power can i get from a procharger kit from a decently built engine? any idea. im still new to anything other than roots blower

and how does the pulleys work? they look different and are they interchangeable like a roots?

 

i would say your not gonna see anymore than 290whp on the procharger, it's just not meant for sucha small displacement application, these motors take quite a bit of cfm and boost to make real power.

 

even with higher compression pistons?? i just dont get how it can push so much psi but yeild less hp...

 

because it takes forever to build that much pr, it has to build pressure throughout the chargepiping and intake manifold before you start seeing any boost, just like a turbo, difference is a turbo will spool much faster to the rpms you need to build pr and start making power. so on higher displacement or lower boost applications, ie guys only running like 8-10 psi it works very well, but for guys running high boost to make good power like us it's a no go.

 

dammit jim! stop ruining my ****** plans

 

well i wouldn't want you to have an ill conceived plan and be disappointed with your build, just because you didn't know all the facts. right now as we sit, you want real power it's turbo or tvs, turbo will be less responsive in the low end than tvs, but also far less abusive on your whole drivetrain. and turbo is far more capable of making big power without the limitatons of the blower efficiency, even if you hit the choke line on a turbo you can always upgrade the compressor.

well imma go ride my motorcycle be back in a couple of hours.

 

damn you thread jackers! Hows the meet coming?

 

back to the meet

 

im ready to take a life..and its not mine

 

what did i do now?
