Sick *** build man, where in so cal are you?

 

Oxnard

 

Nice dude, you're not far at all from me. Maybe we can do some friendly comparo runs out in mexico

 

Encino isn't far from me at all. Sure come check out my "little" hobby shop sometime.

What car you got?

 

I'm down man. I have a 2010 Cobalt SS, FBO with a 25g turbo, I had an EFR it blew in march. I'm in process of being built it all should be done in mid Aug. I'll be in the 500-550whp range when finished. Should be interesting!

 

Oh cool, I just finished installing a motor in a cobalt ss a few weeks ago (e85 1320 TVS)

25G Who still sells those?

500whp on a cobalt will move once you get traction.

Whose building your car?

 

Yea, I heard haha. My 25g is custom made from a 20g kit. I had new wheels and housing put together etc. My tuner James Rakes is coming down here to build me up and tune me in person. I'm having problems with the 25g right now and I can't figure it out. No other shops want to work on my car either so I just paid him to come here and do it all. I had 415whp435wtq and traction wasn't that bad.

 

PM me might be able to help you out with your issue.

Coalinga is fun. We were there earlier in the year with a different car I built.

 

Looks beastly
Good luck

 

I'll pm you! Thank you, and yes Coalinga was a blast. I wanted to make it out there in April. My EFR blew out in March on the way to another 1/2 mile drag event .

Can't wait to come visit and meet you both! Small world man, seriously.

 

So the project starts back up. Just received block back from machine shop.

 

Such a great looking machine, great job.

 

What piston compression ratio did you end up going? I'm sitting on the fence about stock or going higher since I'll probably only be running E85 only.
