ScoobySnax Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Ok, so im felling a little dumb for doing this but I have a stock 05 LGT with an SPT intake and used the COBB stage 1 with COBB intake map even tho I dont have a COBB intake (it looked similar). Everything seemed to go great for the first day after the tune but now seems to be a little sluggish and kinda smelly when I use my lead foot. Im thinkin I should just put the stock intake box back on even tho I just bought the SPT. I just hate that big extra box that feeds into the fender from the stock one. Is there anyway I could modify that big ol box or just leave it alone as well. Oh yea, I also have the turboxs 50/50 on there but I dont think that matters.

Heedz Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 smelly? as in roses farts or fuel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Code Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Different scaling for different intakes. 50/50 venting does cause some issues of it's own. Cobs OTS tunes are not the best. Use your AP to data-log then post it up. You are kinda playing with fire.

robinlsb Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 The SPT intake is a POS. Do Not run it with Cobb maps, to lean:mad: "Belief does not make truth. Evidence makes truth. And belief does not make evidence." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Capacity Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 You can leave the bottom off the stock box, if you like a noise.

ScoobySnax Posted June 27, 2012 Author Share Posted June 27, 2012 Its hard to decribe the smell but maybe some ethnic food farts.

You don't need an intake, and you don't need an AM filter. That is where the major power increase will come from. If you want noise, add a AM BW valve, modify the stock intake box (search the forums) and add a fart can:lol: Net result is 5-8 HP for the noise, and a cop magnet;) "Belief does not make truth.

Max Capacity Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Stop using Mobil 1. Shell Rotella t6 5w-40 or Castrol Synthet, I've gone to using Amsoil European 5w-40. I've been using the same K&N kit I bought back in 2005. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

ScoobySnax Posted June 27, 2012 Author Share Posted June 27, 2012 would you recommend switching to shell fuel as well? Ive been using Sunoco 93 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 would you recommend switching to shell fuel as well? Ive been using Sunoco 93 No, I use Sunoco 93 90% of the time. When in VT I'll use Shell sometimes. A lot of guys here run the t6 Rotella for oil. It's cheaper and a good oil. You can sometimes find it a Tractor Supply cheaper then Walmart or the same price. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD).
