Lookin' good so far !!
You guys have been putting out some nice stuff....Impressive !!
Those Cobalt SS's have lots of potential when turbo'd, Good Luck!!!
Lets see some BIG #s when thats done.....
So when are you guys going to hook me up with a front mount for my GLI
when you have a turbo with an inlet bigger then a quarter
(sorry had to)
wow, that intercooler setup on the sky should make for some easy piping in and out of it.

oh common Darkstars that hurts.. Hit a guy low like that..
If I had the money I would do a big turbo swap.
Bring it on up to us for a week or two and we can do it for you no problems.
details on the turbo being used? is it the super20g that hahn uses? It's great to still see some domestic turbo love, especially for the kappa!
I'm sure you guys have a presence on cobaltss.net, but theres a guy there pushing 400whp on a turbo'd lsj
The turbo on the sky is a Garrett GT28R Ball bearing and oil/water cooled. Not sure of trims or A/R's Turbo going on the cobalt is going to be somewhere between a gt35 and gt40. The biggest we can fit back there.
Hmmm, i wonder where that S/C went too.....

Holy @!#$, a GT40 for the cobalt? Is it a built engine? Are you planning to rev to like 9k rpm? THAT is going to be one YUMMY project.
So here is how I spent my Saturday...
Only things left now..
Hook up oil drain
Coolant lines to turbo for water cooling option.
Weld in flange for MAF sensor
Hook up wide band and boost gauges inside the car
Wait for PCM with tune
The large 2" OD SS pipe we used gave my a little bit of an issue trying to get the stud nuts on, so I spent a good 2-3 hours just @!#$ around with that and then we all came to the conclusion and figured out an easier way... then Got her pretty much all buttoned up. Manifold, DP, Turbo are all in their final resting spots. Charge piping couplers are not tight. We through it together for some quick pics... soo....Enjoy pics...
We were number crunching today as well to figure out the cost of how much the kit would actually be, and everything without tuning would be quite a bit less than another companies stage 4 kit for the LE5. Everything we have built into this setup is right on par with their Stage 4. This is a Garrett GT28XXR ball bearing turbo with the water cooling option, which should supersede their larger turbo option. Still knocking around more numbers and if there is enough interest we would start making the kits.
Thats all for now..
From the pics, its looking great! Maybe it would be worth your time and $$ to become a supporting vendor on solsticeforum and skyroadster? I'm not sure if you have brought this up on either of those forums, but they are quite anal about "vendor status". Beyond that though, more options and competition are always a good thing, and I'm sure you could generate some interest there.
I think I know which "stage 4" kit you're refering to; would your kit produce similar numbers to that kit? ~380whp? Is race gas required, or is high octane pump an option? What about an upgraded valvetrain, necessary in your opinion?
very cool

We've looked into becoming vendors on this sites yes, but when they want $400+ for a year being as small as we are right now its quite out of our budget. We're vendors on ecotecforum.com as adam NJHK owns it and members from those forums float over to there and then news travels outwards..
The physical components of the kit will be capable to handle it 400+ whp yes. The thing the other company has on us is several years of tuning experience and we don't. The SKY's PCM was sent out to a company who told us they can tune it for us, providing them with how much PSI were running and the injector size for this one car. While tuning is going to be the main key at what this setup will be able to do on 93 octane....
Sooo... The turbo, manifold, charge piping, intercooler, 60lb injectors, fittings, oiling, water cooling option will have no issue with dishing out plenty. Unfortunately the tuning is more than likely going to have to be left up to the owner, since i spent like 3 weeks trying to track down someone to tune the 08 E37 pcm which HPtuners doesn't support yet, and just an FMU is a baaaaad idea.
supposedly the LNF fuel system can support up to 400hp so i really dont see why you would need a fmu, 400 is really the sane limit anyway

that sky is not a LNF though , its just the regular 2.4 n/a motor

There is a limit????
