S/C Eco questions...
Monday, October 19, 2009 2:07 AM
hey everyone, uh had a lil problem this past weekend with stuff so just wondering like what companie/shade cooler of a plug i should go with, like what are you guys running and what have you run??? also, has anyone ever tuned or gotten one of these tuned? i have another PCM, was told to get a 1bar map sensor, got one but totaly different then the one on the car now, i was thinking maybe i need a Cobalt 1bar map sensor?...any other pointers would be AWESOME! or just lil kinda cheap things to make it run better, dont really care if its faster just want it to run good and like its supposed to, but anyways let me know everyone!

Our computers are Alpha-N which means that they dont see boost so swapping MAP sensors is useless. You have to make the changes for boost manually and yes there are quite a few people ditching the Crapflash for a HPT tune.

well because i was told from the tuner that it comes with a 2 bar map and its easier to tune with a 1 bar.. what about plugs? just go to GM and get ACDELCO's that are one or two shades cooler?

also what would be a good exhaust set up for s/c, like size? 3"... thinking about changing that, have a camaro style right now, pretty sure thats holding me back alot

I was talking with PJ a few weeks ago about getting a different range MAP sensor and it doesnt matter. The sensor measures the pressure inside the intake mani and our ECUs do not use that for any types of fuel/spark control.

Click this for spark plugs

For exhaust i'd recommend Atomic's. I have his 3" system sitting here and it is very nice. It is a shame that it'll be hidden under the car for the rest of its life. I know 3" is overkill for my current setup and even with my near future setup, but i have big dreams. Pics of it are in my P&M thread.

If you dont have plans on building an engine, swapping chargers, or going turbo i would say 2.5" would suit you just fine.
