Hi everyone,

New to this forum but definitely not new to Chevy or my car. I've been around the block multiple times with my car along with my girlfriend's cavalier. It's a completely base model Cobalt (manual locks and windows!) but I love the thing as it's the first car I've ever modified. Looks fairly stock



But this is what's under the hood




The whole set up was put together by me, not bought as a kit. It has a built motor that I did myself after I did a number of things to it... Spun 2 bearings, cracked my crank, warped my head, blew my head gasket and torched the stock clutch. The rebuild took me about a week after I got all the parts together and the machining done for it and was definitely an experience as it was the first motor i'd ever torn apart and put back together.

Mod list includes:
Borg Warner S252
ZZP 3" catless downpipe
Turbo XS FL catback
ZZP turbo manifold
Tial 38MM wastegate dumped by the axle
Custom 2.5" hot side
Synapse synchronic BOV
Hahn intercooler
Hahn LSJ 3" cold side
LSJ throttle body
Hahn intake manifold
80# injectors
Exedy lightweight flywheel
Exedy stage 2 clutch
Eagle rods
Wiseco pistons 10:1 CR
Supertech valves
Supertech 78# dual springs w/ titanium retainers
Supertech valve guides
Supertech valve seals
Supertech valve seats
Cometic head gasket
ARP head studs
ZZP neutral balance shafts
E85
FE5 shocks/struts
TTR engine mount
TTR poly transmission mount inserts
Dropzone springs
SS/TC front sway bar
TTR rear sway bar
FE5 Moog endlinks
Cosmo short throw shifter
Pontiac G5 GT 140MPH gauge cluster

Car pushes about 10-11 pounds of boost straight from turbo to wastegate and holds to 8200 rpms. I'm estimating it around 320whp, but honestly have no idea where I'm at. Here to check out cars other than Cobalts, I need an older car for a project!
