Don't worry lol. Seriously though, I'm not looking into tuning until the big stuff.

As for A/F ratio, I would like to get it setup with my Interceptor gauge.

Anyone else have plans for their ECOs???

heineck · 02-02-2010, 11:49 PM

Nuthin new lately lol

we'll see, I want to finish off my Exhaust header back maybe, I'll ditch the 2.25" and get 2.5" with Cat-delete put a resonator in there instead and get a wide band gauge... just need a job first. I've been juggling a few other Ideas (major ones) around, but there mostly based upon having a job or not.

My problem isn't money, it's just having enough time to do what I want. Nothing but school and work all the time.

my problem is money. ran my tranny out of oil, not it makes a growling noise. gonna be an expensive replacement. but i do have a header. just need the rest of the exhaust

that sucks...

what kind of header do you have?

Vic28 · 02-04-2010, 08:14 PM

How did you ran the tranny without fluid... how it leaked?

colonel6632 · 02-04-2010, 09:18 PM

i have a tsuduo header purchased off a member on here. it's pretty known for being a terrible header, but i'm going to give it a try.

and the tranny leak.
the passanger axle seal started leaking, and since out trannys don't have dipsticks, or no way to check how much fluid is in it other than draining the tranny, i just waited till i replaced the seal. well it was empty. so i fixed the seal and filled her up. took her on a 1400km round trip. about 200km into the trip the drivers seal started leaking. couldn't fix it till i got home. so she ran almost empty that time.

i think the noise is the bearings right by the axle. i doubt i can replace them without removing the tranny.

how hard is it to install new tranny and such. i guess the motor and all has to come out

If not im making my ho turbo whenever I get to live in a House with a garage

AbHeLlRaZoR · 02-04-2010, 10:36 PM

Yup, you can get stupid gains with just a good tune with the LNF.

Malibu369258 · 02-15-2010, 11:42 PM

There's a M62 Supercharger and other parts off of a '06 Cobalt SS for sale over on jbody, just thought I'd post it up, haven't seen one in the classifieds for awhile.

AbHeLlRaZoR · 02-16-2010, 12:20 AM

Thats a Banging good deal, I want someone with an alero to get it even if it isn't myself.

Weazel · 02-16-2010, 12:50 AM

If it's all in working order, God damn that's a sick deal!

AbHeLlRaZoR · 02-16-2010, 01:08 AM

My guess is someone decided to Turbo there LSJ, and they're selling of the supercharger for extra funds. all that would be needed to get it to work is a TB adapter plate, hardware, coolant for h/e and a tune or reflashed Cavalier PCM like Vic28 used... anything I missed Vic should be able to fill in.

Malibu369258 · 02-16-2010, 09:08 PM

I would jump on it, but I'm not quite ready yet, I'm still researching other things.

Vic28 · 02-16-2010, 09:41 PM

Thats a fkn steal price. I have injectors for that thing... someone step up. If my bros car would of been in good shape bodywise that would of been on the automatic. Thats 300 cheaper than what I got mine.

Maybe some 1/4mile numbers would motivate some other owners.

AbHeLlRaZoR · 02-16-2010, 10:52 PM

If I had the extra cash to order it, buy Hp tuners, buy a wideband, and pay a friend tune it for me, I'd be all over it.

colonel6632 · 02-16-2010, 11:21 PM

i'm not looking for alot of power out of my 2.2 right now. i plan on installing my header, 2.5" exhuast and cut the car, have a resonator in it's spot, and a magnaflow camaro muffler. the one in two out that mounts in the middle of the back bumper. i can post links.

get a wai, and do the 2.4 intake manifold swap. get a wideband o2 gauge, and get it tuned. after all that i'd hope to put 160-170hp to the wheels. right now i only have about 145 to the wheels.
