So excited I ordered this turbo last night. Apparently they have fixed the oil issue. If not. How hard is it to install that restrictor once everything is back together. Would hate to have a crazy hard time once the motor is back inside. You drove around fine on a base tune? I have my ko4 tuned to 25psi rn so I was hoping I could limp the car up to my guy who tunes for me. About 45 min drive.
Oil restrictor is super easy to install, just take the oil feed line which regularly screws into the top of the turbo and instead connent oil feed line to restrictor, then to turbo. Hopefully they did fix the issue though, if you need any help just hmu on IG. Username is the same
I have a 2009 cobalt lt automatic and would love to completely modify everything from the suspension to the engine but would probably take a lifetime considering the cost. Would probably be cheaper to just find and buy an ss cobalt
yes I had to buy an oil restrictor because the one zzp gave me unfortunately did not work. I ended up going with a restrictor from Forced Performance. If you google "FP Oil Restrictor" and then go to their site, it will be the purple one. Seemed to completely fix the excessive smoke my car was producing. The Z57 turbo needs to just come with it. idk why it does not.
I have a hahn intercooler, im pretty sure they only sell one size. It looks pretty standard. But yeah it doesnt even get in the way. Its tucked behind the crash bar.
i believe the 6" one is the lighter spring. It is to be used with the vacuum box/stock setup. I'm running the larger 18'' spring atm with a small amount of the spring shortened(cut) and my bpv line goes from bov directly to manifold. When I bought my 50mm bov though from zzp they gave me both springs so hopefully the same for you. Then you can play around and see what sounds best to your liking.
Hey man, I got a 2010 LNF I'm trying to get this flutter out of. I'm fairly new to this, so if I understand correctly, you buy the treadstone block off plate - and then you need a BOV along with this? I've purchased the HKS SQV IV.
I used a block off plate with my bov, but I think you can rig up the stock bpv to not function, so it would be exactly like a block off plate. either way stock bpv needs to be disabled so you can run an aftermarket bov. If you want more flutter then stiffer spring in your bov, less flutter and more swishh sound then lighter spring in your bov. Just gotta kinda play around with the bov springs. Dont want to stiff of a spring though. Mine would only flutter between 1-4psi. any higher than that and it opens completely and empties out pressure.
@@reid_playz95 I realize this post is 7 months old. You can't change the spring pressure in a ssqv. It is an excellent bov that uses boost pressure to keep it sealed shut so no leaks. When I turned the boost up on my stock turbo I had to get a block off for the stock bpv or it would come open and bleed boost and sometimes flutter causing driveability issues. I had a greddy bov to start with and anything over 18psi it would do the same so I switched to a hks ssqv myself and loved it. Coincidentally I didn't think the stock ssqv was loud enough for my taste and designed a couple different inserts to make it louder which I now sell.
@@chicano562 if you keep the stock bpv you might not need a tune but to block off the bpv and add a bov you will need to also relocate the maf to the lower charge pipe which will require a tune. If you have hp tuners and have ordered a tune from zzp before, then to get an updated tune emailed to you and then you can upload it with hp tuners and the tune is only like 50$
@@Lnf_Chris sweet. I'm going to be installing an LNF Gen 3 block with a good condition head with ARP studs. Would you say the Opels are needed to push right around 400hp?
@@ThatDudeArvai probably not, they only increase gas flow by 15%. 500whp and above probably would need, along with a handful of other fuel related parts.
Whats all done to it i have an lsj i wanna entry lvl k04 swap w big intercooler and 50mm bov your turbo talks alot shits nasty lmk what all mods u got n what u had to do for that sound
so i shortened the spring little by little since their bov is non adjustable. In other words I cut one full circle around the spring by 1/4s until it was where I wanted it to be. didn't take removing much though so start removing small distances.
According to the techs at ZZP around 400 whp. And maybe 1000 miles on it now. And no not yet, I've been swapping out control arms, intermediate shaft, installing ksports, and an Nrg wing. So I've been a little pre occupied I will soon though.

That turbo sound bro 😫. I love everything about it
Sounds amazing bro🔥🔥
Thanks considering it was gopro audio too. I'll get some better audio soon with my external mic.😁
Sounds badass
I'd have ZZP check the AFR. It's swinging up a bit high at idle, unless you have a bad, or soon to be bad, primary O2 sensor.
Its been data loged and tuned since then. This was on a base tune. I thought so too though.
Sounds amazing, kinda jealous
Thanks man! I'll try to get some more video/audio soon, have to dial in my microphone on my camera when i get a chance

Yes
Yes. The 2.2 and the automatic won’t hold up well. The 2.2 can really only hold like 250hp before you need new rods and pistons.
Still like my supercharged!
Yeah I wanted a supercharged SS one but I think im gonna get a 350z next and supercharge that.😈

for the intercooler, did you get the standard or smaller size. Trying to decide. Zoe’s the standard allow you to still put your front bumper back on?

400whp according to Matt at ZZP. I havent dyno'd it so I can't give exact numbers. Just 93 Octane
@@Lnf_Chris Nice man. Seems like fun.
What other mods
Stock shortblock still?
I own a 2009 turbo seems like we all can’t have our tire sensor off I can’t stand it lol
It’s called replacing the sensors they are literally In the tire
@@Il7-9lI I know mine is front left
Had a 09 but it was just an LT and that thing always stayed on even after the sensor replacement lol
I want to do this with mine! How much was everything if you don’t mind me asking! I live in Ohio I was thinking of taking mine up there!
Maybe like 1800-1900$ without opel injectors, 2200$ with injectors. Pretty cheap for the power levels

so i shortened the spring little by little since their bov is non adjustable. In other words I cut one full circle around the spring by 1/4s until it was where I wanted it to be. didn't take removing much though so start removing small distances.
what blow off are u using?
can you do a pull video like 30-130
Yeah will be doing once I get off my current winter tire setup 🤙
We’re did you buy the block off for the turbo? And what spring did you get with the zzp 50mm bov? The 18” or the 6”?
