Since the install & tune on this build is coming to an end...thought you guys might be interested.

Behold, my 2.2L Supercharged Ion Sedan

The initial teardown, getting all the old stuff outta the way...


FASTL61 holding the blower...


After ripping all the old **** outta the way, threw the IM on.


During the build we ran into a setback (one of a few but this was the most significant). The tensioner pulley would not fit with the stock motor mount. So, it needed to be modified


After 2 days of grinding away we were able to make it work. Safest bet to overcome this problem though is to just run an 06+ Cobalt engine mount and lower bracket. I will be picking that up soon for myself...


After that was squared away, test fitting the blower...


Then the heat exhanger install. Hangs a little low but I bought it with the brackets already mounted. It will do for now...




Fast forward to a couple days later and you have the (almost) finished product






And of course a vid of the car in action...

Car is not 100% tuned yet but is getting there. I think 1 or 2 more revised tunes and I should be good to go.

BIG THANKS to all the local guys (and ones that just happened to be in town lol) that helped me put this thing together.

P.S. - Don't make fun of my driver mod lol

 

good **** jerry.

sigh now i wait til mine is paid off to do some work

 

lookin good!

chose to run a filter on the valve cover instead of a longer pipe i see, lemme know how that works, its had mixed reviews, some claim you need the vacuum, some say its just a vent, but should be good

 

ive always really liked your car... This just puts it over the top, I like the color cause its different and looks great with those rims....

 

sounds good.It def. looks like its pulling harder than when I was in it and dam I look ripped in the pic with the blower

 

great stuff jerry... good to see

 

when you going to put a blower on yours

 

Thanks dude, that's probably one of the nicest comments I've ever gotten on here

All that nipple does on the valve cover is relieve crank case pressure (or dump oil into your intake...I forget )...The only reason I did it this way is because the nipple on my intake that connects to the valve cover was broken.

 

Congrats!

 

sounds good.

 

When you buy me all the parts

 

lets just do an LS to LNF conversion...I bet we could get it to work!

 

did you tie wrap that h/e?

 

did I? no

but the brackets are zip tied to the heat exchanger...exactly like the how-to

a little ghetto for my tastes but it wont be shown off anyway

 

Badass Jerry! What pulley are you running? Hows it compare to the n2o???

 

dont bottom out, or else that thing is goonneeeee

 

Man why the hell didn't inform me of this!?!?! I would have helped you! *cough* Remember whos house your car sat at for 3 days when we installed the ported head *cough*

 

umm I told you like a week before hand *****.

Ill just take the whole turbo setup.everything else can go somewhere else

 

nice sounds good do you here my socket rattleing around lol!!

 

I was talking to Jerry.

 

hell yeah sounds bad ass. I need to get a supercharger or turbo im have a need for speed now...

 

paint the blower black to match the valve cover

 

And Im talking to you!Whats your point?Plus you didnt bother asking,especially when I told you before hand.Doesnt matter anyway.It was kinda crowded anyway.Alot of people showed the 1st day.Plus it would of been more cramped for Jerry & myself to work anyways.Oh and cant leave Richie out.Thanks a bunch man.With out you it would have takin alot longer than what it did!

 

Nice video dude! Wish i had sound on this laptop so I could hear it lol. I'm glad I could help you out. It made for a fun vacation.

 

running 3" pulley

initial feel is that the nitrous pulls harder on the low end definitely

my car right now is funny though because in certain situations it seems like it pulls harder than other times...when it pulls like it should though its very nice. i think my intake temps are going sky high and the car is pulling timing.

check the southwest forum brotha...I put out an open invitation to everyone. that includes you!

I would but I have bad experiences with painting...you don't even wanna see my valve cover up close lol
