I dont know why, but that reminds me of a friend of mine. You can call BS on this if you want, but i swear it happened, you couldnt make this stuff up. He got the bright idea to try some forced induction on his eclispe, but he had no turbo/supercharger. So what he did was steal his dads scuba diving oxygen tank, and ran the line from his backseat through his firewall and clamped it into the throttle body. He fired it up and tried to go for a cruise. Everything worked fine until he turned the nozzle on the tank, and as the psi built up on it, his ECU had absolutely no idea what was going on, so it lit up with al kinds of lights on the dash and shut off.

The car ended up running fine after he removed the tank, but his dad was sure pissed that hed used tha mch oxygen.

i wont be running THAT much PSI of boost with the air charger, it will be like half a psi/one psi. it's enough to notice, but not so much it confuses the ECU

putting that much air into a motor is ridiculous, i wont call BS, cause i have seen it done myself, but the moron who did it, hit it with 22 psi constant from the tank, blew out a rod on the car doing it.

??? Won't work....the ECM will sense too much air for the TB position and BAMB! limp mode! Since the TB is fly-by-wire there are safety features built in to prevent an engine "run-away" due to a malfunctioning TB, crack in the plastic intake, etc. You won't be able to "fool" this engine..LOL But if you do get it to work give us the low-down..lol

currently the custom made SRA intake is working as it should, no cel from it, and the amount of air it's sucking in, it sounds like it's FI, lol

none yet, it's in development, and looks like crap, so i will get a pic when it is totally done.

Getting this thread back on subject...Hillary Clinton went to the Lordstown assembly plant recently and is pictured next to a victory red 08 Cobalt SS/TC with tall wing on the assembly line! There is a post by JonyyB on the cobaltss.net website about it.

Not to be a debbie downer but don't hold your breath on stage kits because the LNF is proving tricky to tune for the Solstice and Sky guys.

not only is the tuning proving to be tricky, but a gm rep has already stated that GM will not release stage kits for the cobalt tc. Why? the tranny is maxed out powerwise from the factory. i wasn't sure if it was legit at first, but after looking up tons of info about the tranny going in the car, everything shows that the max torque is 260. which is where the car is stock.

personally, i think the tc cobalt is going to be a HUGE disapointment, and I think people are hyping it up way too much.
