I appriciate it Antwon!! Im back in action baby, ive been away from alot of the boards lately because of personal reasons, oh and because I was working on the car. Everything out front removed to make wiring easier http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w138/whitecavy/DSCN129101.jpg Griffin Rad set in for clearance http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w138/whitecavy/DSCN129403.jpg http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w138/whitecavy/DSCN129604.jpg IC back on http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w138/whitecavy/DSCN129705.jpg Look at all that room.. I took out my AC condensor, much more room to breath now http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w138/whitecavy/DSCN129906.jpg http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w138/whitecavy/DSCN130308.jpg http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w138/whitecavy/DSCN130610.jpg All back together http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w138/whitecavy/DSCN130711.jpg My little 'turbocharged' GM emblem off the Cobalt SS turbocharged car http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w138/whitecavy/DSCN130912.jpg I also wired in an override switch for the track for the fan so I can keep it on the whole time. Comments welcome

Hi

welcome

Is this done yet? If not, There is nothing on the cavalier hub that you need to hammer out.. Like said, remove the calipers, rotors then the axle nut.. After that you will need a T55 star bit to remove the 3 bolts holding the hub on the spindle.. If the hub hasn't been off before, yea either use a pry bar, or air chisle to get the darn thing off.. If you need help, lemme know, I have all the tools for this job..

Hey yea, Ive been slacking.. I had a death in the family over the weekend.. But I did get the new radiator mounted.. Im just waiting on a friend to come over to help wire it, I hate wiring.. Im not sure if I need all the wires that came with the fan or what, im not doing a manual over ride, thats all configured in my tune already to come on at 180 degrees.. So I just need to know If i just connect power and ground to my stock plug from the new fan.. I should have pics up tomorrow.

Damn,

Yup yup

Aj. thanks for the info, I didnt know that. Thank goodness I didnt run the car long, or else Id worry about the head, but it was up and down the street with 3 pulls.. But enough to make it boil.. Ill be pulling the front apart starting tomorrow and keep ya'll updated.. See how many more cracks I can find hehe.

Well, below is the beauty I just bought, significally bigger than stock.. It also comes with a SPAL fan that is 14 inches, stock fan is like 10 or 11 inches. CFM is somewhere between 2800 and 3200. This is a picture from the guys that already received theirs.. Mine should be here Monday, or Tuesday. http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p196/sbhm69/radiators/rad5.jpg http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p196/sbhm69/radiators/rad1.jpg

Thanks guys, Couple things. Head isn't pulling, I had the head off last fall, checked the headgasket and its fine, its a cometic one.. Also torqued my ARP head studs to spec. ImUrOBGYN- As we were driving, we were also watching the temps, were fine.. I have a water temp gauge and also monitoring on the laptop.. Bottom line is, yes i need a new rad, will do that now, will flush the system and pressure test, will do the right mixture ratio.. Oh, and ill also remove my condensor since I dont have A/C anymore.. That could of also been part of the overheating problem.. The radiator was being blocked by the intercooler, tranny cooler, oil cooler and then A/c condensor. We'll see what happens..

Ahhhh I spoke too soon, just found a Griffin high performance radiator for my car.. There it is soooon lol Thanks guys for the help and suggestions.

Yes stock radiator, but its 11 years old. I wasn't overheating because we had the laptop hooked up and it was reading at 185 degrees the whole time. I get my new radiator today, and im going to have the coolant flushed professionally with the cyfon(sp) just to make sure I get all the air out.. Unfortunately, there aren't aftermarket radiators for the J-bodys, unless its custom

Well, finally got the tranny back in the car after being built blah blah. Went out today for some last minute fine tuning with the laptop before I hit the dyno. Car was driving fine, had some good pulls then noticed my car was spiking boost on some WOT pulls. My MAP sensor is limited to 14.7 psi, but I was hitting 15 and 16 psi for some reason making the car act funny.. Anyway I get back home so I can turn down the boost, get out and notice my car is leaking coolant out the front, wtf!!! I pop the hood and can't find where its coming from, im like daaaamit!! Pull it into the garage, pull the front bumper off and notice my damn radiator is cracked!!! The part thats on both sides of the radiator. Its black on mine, where the drain plug is. I think the reason is because I have air in my system, causing it to come out of my overflow tank where the cap is, thus finally breaking my radiator under pressure.(btw, the coolant is boiling in the overflow tank) wtf!! again lol I get my new radiator tomorrow, so hopefully next street tuning session goes smoothly!! Dammit, I forgot to ask, why would my coolant be boiling in the overflow tank? Is it because of what I thought, I have air in the system?

Im in the market for a new phone, still lookin around.

Pretty cool
