Just saying HI

[bluecobaltss06]

Hey guys, my names Rob. I drive a 2006 Cobalt SS/SC. I figured I'd swing in here to say hi, because I think that the Camaro is a sweet ride. I am friends with as far as I know 2 people on this forum already. Savage_Messiah, and Brando56894, I go to school with them both. I also think that it's great that there is just a NJ forum on here for the F body. I'm stuck with 2 world wide forums. They do have divisions for different areas, but the chances of meeting someone on this site that lives near you, is extremly greater than the 2 sites I am a member on. Cobaltss.com and Cobaltss.net But yeah...anyway just wanted to say HI :banana:

[SSport]

Yep i couldn't justify spending and extra $4,000 for 34 more hp and an extra $2,000 on top of what i'm paying for insurance now and .4 quicker in the 1/4....so all in all yea i have the 2.4.........no complaints yet...well i blew the motor with only 381 miles on it.....lol

how???

[SSport]

how???

how did i blow the motor?

well it's a pretty long story so here goes. I was bringing it back to the dealership (i bought it at Reedman in Langhorne, PA) for defects in the paint that they were going to fix. i get about two miles from the exit i had to take and my RPM's wouldn't go over 4k.....so **** it i just keep driving, i figure if i'm going to break something i'm going to do a damn good job at it. i see a giant cloud of smoke behind me and smell the coolant. so about a 1/4 mile from the dealership the car finally gave up......why?...because the coolant hose came loose and the car over heated. i crakced the block, warped the head, and melted the number 4 piston all b/c of a damn coolant hose, but i got the car back in about 5 days.

i was lookin at the new posts and saw you username and i was like "thats not rob is it?" i guess kasey badgered you into joining :lol: welcome aboard bro

you ever figure out what it runs yet?

[Savage_Messiah]

Debbie: His is different (from what I saw at least), and is a fenderwell intake. I think...

Brandon: I'm gonna drag him to the track first time I go this season

[Brando56894]

good deal

[SSport]

his is basically the same intake except it goes over to the right instead of the left. the injen comes with the option to do either short ram or cold air....i chose to do the short ram b/c of an easier install....but other than that it will look the same if he is going the short ram route only it will be off to the right :D

[Savage_Messiah]

Ah, if they have both short ram and cold air then that explains it, he got the cold air

cool cool

[SSport]

i have the extra piping for my cold air....wish i knew someone i could give it away to or else off to the dumpster it goes

Keep it, maybe you'll want to upgrade yours later.

Although, If it's aluminum, I'll take it off of your hands :)

yes it's aluminum alloy i believe

[bluecobaltss06]

OK now this really sucksss. I half installed my intake today because apparently 05-06 does not mean it will fit an 06! I bought the Injen cold air intake from Sportcompactonly.com because they said it will fit 05-06. LIES! I had to fabricate a custom bracket for the intake to fit. Not only that I have to extend the wires for the mass air flow sensor, because as they are now, they are pulled to the max. This blows. But the car does pull harder, and I hit max boost faster. I'm working friday so I'll through it back on the lift and fix it and make it nice. But that really pisses me off, I'm going to call up that company and let them have it about their false advertising.

The overall quality of the intake is substantially better than the K&N I installed on my friends SS cobalt how ever. If it fit, it would be perfect. The whine from the supercharger is amazing. But I get this weird high pitched screeching from the intake at certain loads and rpms. I gotta check that too. The installation was rushed cause I had class. I gotta go back and make it nice nice.

BTW I work at Hawthorne Chevy.

Oh and PS - It's a cold air intake, that goes off to the right side of the engine. It goes down into the fender well to right behind the d/s fog light.

[maroman88]

welcome, im just next to dumont over in oradell, the guy i bought my daily driver mustang from has a red SS

[bluecobaltss06]

was him name PJ?

[V]

..no comment about Hawthorne chevy... i think the admins want the boards kept PG-13... any specific vehicle you working on there lately?

[BigAls87Z28]

Bwhahahaha...Oh snap, Smoking hey look at it this way...now you might have an in at the store!!

Anyway, very cool man. Plan on getting any Stage kits for the SS/SC motor? Did you get the Recaro/LSD package as well?

[SSport]

hey "bluecobalt..." from now on i would highly recommend doing business with turbotechracing.com. i had a bunch of problems and they were quick with their responses and to fix everything right away!

[bluecobaltss06]

Yeah I ordered my lastest suspension stuff from them. I really like their business and the fact that they are highly active on the forum. I just ordered my strut bar, and hopefully within the next 2 weeks ill order the anti roll kit. But nah I don't work during the school season, well I do, just fridays and saturdays, i'm full time during the summer and the winter break we get for christmass. Oh and about those stage kits...I'll get them...if they EVER come out.

PS - sorry about the pg13/r language ;)

[foff667]

welcome to the site :)

[BigAls87Z28]

ahah its ok, I ****ing curse all the time.

I didnt realize that the Stage kits still arent available. I know GM pumped it up, and made a whole website about sport compacts.
I think that they might hold back and work on the new 2.0T motor. 260hp and a 6spd would sure make that Cobalt SS a sweet ride!!

[maroman88]

yea thats him

[turbo96z28]

But I get this weird high pitched screeching from the intake at certain loads and rpms. I gotta check that too. The installation was rushed cause I had class. I gotta go back and make it nice nice.


sounds to me like there might be a leak somewhere on the new intake.

have someone power brake it and take a listen.

[Brando56894]

good stuff rob, gonna have to take me for a ride in it sometime :)

[Frosty]

Welcome.

[Savage_Messiah]

That intake is friggin LOUD, its nice
