335i vs cobalt turbo

335iPSI · 11-19-2011, 11:37 AM

My last car was an 09 Cobalt SS turbo. Tune/intake/exhaust was 370whp/410tq running 23lbs of boost. They respond ridiculously well to mods and weigh 28XX lbs. mine would trap 117 all day. Full bolt ons or meth will be needed.

Check Dragtimes, I'm assuming these are the fastest ones around.... for the most part.

12.75 1/4 seems to be the quickest.

55 posts of pure speculation......just have the race & get it over with already.

A tuned + bolt on turbo ss is no slouch if its done well

cobalt put down like 370 trq 320 hp!

My buddy's wife has a Stage 2 Cobalt SS Turbo which I've raced several times with him driving. I destroyed it everytime and wasn't even close. I'm running JB4 and not even FBO or running Meth yet.

You do understand map 5 can run LESS boost than Map 1 in bad conditions, right?

Get some E85, mix 1 part of it to 2 parts 93 octane gas, run map 7, will be a better race that way.

I personally think Map 1/5 is a slow joke. But hey, that's just me.

Yes, I do.

I was answering HIS question and giving him what I think is the better Map for HIS setup.

Not everyone has the setup YOU have.

Jeff@TopGearSolutions · 11-19-2011, 01:43 PM

You will lose from a roll.

My last car had 280WHP, 190 TQ (YES) and trapped 108 (same curb weight as a cobalt) Only difference was gearing. The Cobalts tend to be geared higher.

With another 40WHP and gobs more torque it should have no problem trapping 110 maybe more.

I dont think your doing that unless you run race gas and a higher map. Even then it will be extremely close.

I know we all like our BMW's but some of these Cobalts and SRT4 etc are making some good power.

Ive turned down a few SRT4 races LOL

blackedout335i · 11-19-2011, 03:02 PM

haha thanks its no shape i might be getting dps soon and new mufflers before we race anywho.. so yea... dps is a most cuz of turbo lag. im thinkin plm 3inch

I'm talking about a custom tune through HP tuners... GM stage tunes add about 30hp at best.

cbturbo335i · 11-22-2011, 12:36 PM

cobalts are straight up gay!!!

Brey335i · 11-22-2011, 01:02 PM
