Cobra conversion

[jahernandez]

I did a cobra conversion on my Gt last week.
In the bottom I guess lower grille is their an item I can buy to
Put in there? The bumper looks unfinished to me and
I can't seem to find anything online

Lol that is wher the intercooler goes.

^what he said.

...was expecting an engine, trans and IRS swap...

 

[jahernandez]

Is the inter cooler only for cobra or where can I find one?
It already had the IRS swap, I'm not a big fan of it too
much wheel hop.

 

[jahernandez]

Nvm I looked around on AM and actually know what they are now. Would it be fine or can I out one of these in without actually having a turbo or s/c?

 

[Jhussey1280]

well you could put one in certainly, but it's a complete waste of money if you're not going to put in the turbo or supercharger. Plus you may get some unwanted attention sporting the cobra front end and intercooler.

 

[jahernandez]

I do plan on getting a super charger for it in the near future but I big concern of mine is that will my block and internals be able to support that much power? Right now I've got LT headers, O/R x pipe, catback flow master, CAI, 75 MM throttle body and Bama tuned

 

[Jhussey1280]

Oh sure it'll support low boost, maybe 6-8lbs.

 

[madspeed]

get an intercooler ONLY when you get your choice of boost :blam:

 

[jahernandez]

Okay cool. Thanks for the help bud.
Any advice on kits or which brands i should go with?
I'm wanting to sit around 400. I think that would be a good
number while still having lots of power and using as a daily driver

 

[madspeed]

Vortech s trim. Afternoon install and go driving!

 

[Jhussey1280]

^ Madspeed has it spot on.

 

[jahernandez]

I'm having difficulty finding exactly what the s trim is or the exact item if you could post a link to one for me it would be very helpful.

 

[Bob Hughes]

Are you planning on putting the lower valence on? I dud the cobra bumper swap and it definitely looks better with it

 

[84Ttop]

Vortech V3 Si trim would be my recommendation. It's a self contained centrifugal and much more efficient than the older s trim

Where did you buy the bumper? I'm interested in the body conversion. Was it difficult? Any tips? Did you also do the rear?

You didnt do a corbra conversion, you put a bumper on your car. Next mods: I recommend stock headlights
