Hi !

The Supercharged Cobalt SS is driven (from the factory) by a Eaton M62 Roots Type (1.0 liter) supercharger, boosting 12 PSI in stock form.

However, the Roots type supercharger isn't as efficient as the Whipple one.

Any plans to offer a uprade soon for this very car ?

Thanks !

Their answer :

I'm sorry, but we do not have any development plans at this time.
Thank you for your interest, XXXX.




So I know it's not an interesting answer but I thought some of you wanted to read it anyway.

 

lol.... everyone sends letters to them.. we all get the same answer... but just think..... a whipple...... *drools*

 

Nothing new.

 

lol, you're determined aren't you jmc

 

Maybe ask which of their whipples may be compatible with our cars!

 

everything is compatible with enough money

 

Truly !

 

and duct tape

 

I meant with little modification.

 

Who are you sending it too, maybe we need to MASS mail them. whats the address?

 

take a vote.....then send the results, take it till july...maybe they will see maybe it will benifit them..they prolly have one that will work they just need to make a belt, pulley braket,etc

The Whipple W100AX would be a good one for us. It's ~$1900.00 for just the blower though. Just need 2 adapters, some minor custom fabrication, and you're good. With as much air as this will move, with less heat created, I think I remember reading ~300whp on an otherwise stock S/C SS(with tuning)! You could probably do the swap for around $2500-$3000 or less if you did it yourself.

Whipple W100AX = $1900.00
Adaptor to connect the whipple to the intake manifold = ~$200.00 (Custom made)
Adaptor to connect throttle body to inlet of blower = ~$150.00
60lb/hr injectors = ~$250.00
HP Tuners = ~$500.00

Grand Total = That's $3K, but I'm sure adaptors aren't that expensive, and I tried to figure somewhat high. Plus, if you already have bigger injectors, and a way to tune, it'll be even cheaper. That would be a pretty sweet setup though.

 

1.6 liter per revolution instead of 1 liter (for the Eaton M62) would be great !

 

just sent them mail also hope it helps

 

I don't know if the snout would be long (or short) enough for the pulley to fit in line with the belt ...

 

Might have to make an adaptor that would allow us to move the blower slightly for it to fit.

Here is a good article on it. We have a Gen 5 M62 though, not a Gen 4. According to this guy, the 1.6 whipple will flow ~500 more CFM than our current M62.
