good point, my service are available aswell BTW...i am available to do the full install or just help out...

full install consists of:
-me doing all the work, u doing w/e the f*** u want hell u dont even have to be there lol

 

[cobalt123]

i dunno i would at least want to help or do half of it, my first bit is finshing suspension and brake upgrades ie new drilled and slotted rotors and ceramic pads. my rims are already beat to shit so im not worried about brake dust

yeah i know what u mean everyone wants to take part of the build, although some people rather not touch the car in fear of doing something wrong, but the rates are as follows:

full install: (20xhrs)+30...or 175flat...u pick
consists of:
-me doing all the work, u doing w/e the f*** u want, hell u dont even have to be there lol

helping with the install: 100.00+30 for gas
-helping with the install, splitting it half and half or w/e


**i drive to you
**if all parts are in place, shouldnt take more than 6-10hrs to finish the entrie build

hmm, ill keep it in mind, i will have to have it done quickly i dont have alot of spare time on my hands. as far as doing stuff is concerned, im a mechanical engineering major at UTT. electrical stuff is not my strong point thats why im trying to get the 2003-2005 cavalier injector harness.

tuition raped me this time so part buying is on hold for now

[ionit3]

[cobalt123]

yeah i did my sc installed in 8hrs alone w.no help...from what i heard and seen, its the fastest install on the .net if you need it all done in the same day, im your man no need to use a cavy harness if im there, i can repin the harness for you...no cutting spicing required

you can use throttle cleaner to clean it up, its what i used on all the other manifolds have worked on, works wonders

 

[cobalt123]

i think thats what it was... i can find that anywhere i suppose

 

[Jn2]

go to autozone, go to the chemical wall, u'll see loads of cans of throttle cleaner, the cheap brand is fine clean that thing out

ps no need to go back and dry it when u spray, its evaporates pretty fast, so just spray and clean

 

[cobalt123]

haha did your friend need a supercharger pulley

 

[Jn2]

nah he got a entire kit, i will be helping him install it allvery soon the last parts he needs are still on my car lol the boost gauge and the wideband

 

[cobalt123]

dang oh well i guess i will keep it as a spare, i need to replace that over size pulley tho, is that where the tensioner pulley should be?

 

[Jn2]

yes, use a t-60 torque bit to remove that bolt, and place your pulley there instead

 

[cobalt123]

cool thanks ive got the tensioner pulley so ill just switch

 

[cobalt123]

whats the benefits for the dual pass endplates on 2.2s

 

[Jn2]

same as with the lsj cooler IAT's, get more power out of dropping to a smaller pulley, its a must if you ask me....if you need someone to do the dualpass mod let me know...my rates and cheap and very fair

 

[cobalt123]

hmm. i dont think my drill has the power to get the job done i think its only a 12v

 

[Jn2]

ooo...u can try, prob take a while, but from my exp, the drill bit you use makes a big diffrence when drilling thru aluminum
