cobalt turbo

**backinblackgtp** · 03-02-2011

my cars been running like crap lately but this driver was a real pain, so i had to do it. from a light short race 0-60 took him by about a cars length, next light he revved and i feel like he got a much better launch, i had him off the line by less than half a car, got to about 45-50 it was even and than the bad happened, i hit about 70 mph, i heard a loud POP, so i let off, car still moved, still accelerated fine, no SES light, but it was REALLY loud, i pull over, my resonator literally flew off. and is hanging on by one bolt. you obviously know how that ended :/

You must be modded pretty well to take a SS/TC...unless the driver sucked.

Good job on the exhaust delete mod...bet it sounds like poo

resonator delete lol

**backinblackgtp** · 03-05-2011

PLOG, 3inch DP, thrush resonator (well before the race started anyway) to thrush mufflers, CAI, 8.5 wires, 180 t stat, tr6, 3.5 pulley and a tune.

**footballplaya3k** · 03-06-2011

And you're putting out 242whp? That's pretty damn good especially for no headers.

**GreyGhost** · 03-08-2011

So the resonator came off, but all you heard was a pop? Nothing afterwards??? Have you had your hearing checked lately? Can you not feel anything throughout your body? That noise should have shook the entire car as cheap as the underbody of these cars are.

yeah nothing after the cat pipe of even the res will result in vibration through the floor. Lots of it.

same thing happened to me coming back from the track i heard what sounded like a bolt hit the unside of the car, and then i could not hear anythng because I was driving what sounded like a nascar lol

**whiney** · 03-08-2011

Ive pulled on a tc cobalt more than once from a roll, different cars both times

Turbo Cobalts will wreck hoes...I don't know what a SS/TC puts down to the wheels stock but I'm not sure I believe that a car making (what I would assume to be) similar power and that weighs more beat a SS/TC, unless the guy didn't know how to drive...

**Slowpoke** · 03-08-2011

Maybe the OP has billetflow? This aignt happening otherwise. If it aignt billetflow it aignt sh*t.

My buddies GF's '09 SS/TC with NO mods at all just the TCS/ABS fuse pulled out because apparently it cuts timing worse on those than it does on ours...and toqrue management is pretty nasty as well...at least that is how I understood it. She made 250 FWHP and a little less TQ...like 245. Car has about 12K on it then...now it has an Injen CAI, Dejion Hardpiping, Hahn Turbo-back...so...and in bad need of a tune...should make close to 300 FWHP after a tune and a little more boost I'm sure.

I've heard a bunch of good things about them. I'd love to play around with one.
