Ah, I see. I put out a nice cloud of smoke when I first start the engine. It slowly fades away as I drive. It is embarrassing but rebuilding the head seems like so much work!

Derek, is yours still smoking a ton? I thought the new turbo would have fixed that.

Yeah, it is a good thing! My next order of business is to figure out what makes the digital dash dimmer different from the analog dimmer. The digital one has 6 pins but the analog one only has 3. They are both electronic, so I'm assuming that the lighting is dimmed via PWM. I read that the...

I hate how you guys have so much fun down there. I'm up here like: Working on cars by myself. Well my brother was there, but he is still learning. We need to do BBQ time down near Villy or something, since that is kind of the halfway point for all of us. I need to replace my valve seals too. It...

Okay. That's what I thought.

Hey, is there a Facebook event dealio for this? Cajunkenny, I hope like hell you make it to this event. Your car has been my inspiration.

Awesome, thank you both for your advice. I really like the turbo and especially how quickly it spools (I guess that has something to do with the fact that it has a .58 A/R on the turbine and ball bearings) I just don't like how far out of the island I am. I'm not seeing temps rise too high yet...

Well, actually I'm pretty happy as far as power goes right now. My 560cc injectors are right at 80% duty cycle when going all out, and at 11:1 afr and 20psi with full 3" exhaust and trust/greddy FMIC, I'm probably sitting pretty close to 350-400rwhp I'd imagine. I don't know though. I need to...

I would if I wasn't on duty. Bummer. There is a cruise up north closer to me that I want to go to as well. Damn the bad luck. The weather is friggin amazing too!

Hmm, okay. I might have to check out the 360. Thanks for your help!

Damn that is a really good match. Just for shits and giggles, I plotted those points on the compressor map of my little brother's S366 as well and it looked alright too. Why don't people recommend the s366 on the 7m? I might have to break down and go T4 I guess! The T61 looks very promising.

I had a question about reading compressor maps. I think I did this right but would like someone more knwledgeable on the subject help me out. This is a Boss Jr 60-1 turbo. I don't know if all 60-1 compressors are the same across the board; I just found this in google images and edited it in...

Yeah I don't think Villy was too pleased about it though!

Hey Faye, I've been slacking and just now finally sat down to read your build thread. I know you've let me know here and there via text what has been happening since we met last time during the end of Summer (and the impromptu group camping trip we all had fun on) but holy shit God damn...

^^^That happened to me. I discovered the screws holding my actuator on had loosened up so the wastegate wasn't shutting all the way. The reason I didn't notice it had loosened up immediately was because it is an internal wastegate and therefore was muffled like the rest of the exhaust. This car...

Awesome! Thanks for the link!

I agree. At the end of the day, Cobalts are like Neons; no matter how fast it is, it's still a Neon (or Cobalt). We have Supras. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

Thank you sir. I felt the same way while working this project, which was why I did the conversion in such a way that if I ever want to swap back to the analog gauges, it won't take me more than half an hour. I soldered the new connectors onto the stock dash harness and figured out how to modify...

Thanks man! I'm rapidly trying to become the "expert" in the digidash world. I've disassembled quite a few of them to figure out how they work and what capabilities they have. To quote a line in Apollo 13, "I don't care about what it was designed to do; I care about what it can do." If I can run...

Rich, good to know! Another question, what day is this exactly?
