YES! that is a Centrifugal Supercharger stuffed against the fender!...i never thought this was possible due to lack of space...but that looks down right easy!...i wonder if anything had been changed to the engine position?

how much bigger are the Ion Redline engine compartments then the cobalts??

cuz that would be an awesome upgrade...and cheap!

 

hm thats not half bad!

 

desired has a cobalt too, i bought the airride system off it

 

Speedmafia makes a kit that uses a procharger. That looks jsut like there stuff actually.

 

a procharger would be awesome for 2.0 people looking to upgrade from the stock charger and even more amazing (and FAR cheaper then a turbo kit) for the 2.2, 2.4 people

 

hmm i dunno for sure...but im sure it would work on all engine levels with proper support mods and tuning...

ohhh man that would be sweet!!.... the cheapest bang for the buck and the awesome centrifugal supercharer whine! and for all you turbo BOV junkies you have that too!

 

seeing as it has a 2.2 eco in it then no its not a redline.

 

no it is not the redline i spoke to them about it when i bought my twincharge kit from htem.

 

A regular S/C looks better (polished) but thats still sweet, anything different is cool.

 

That's a 2.2 Ion coupe, and an ugly one at that.

 

I never in a million years thought a centrifugal would fit ....hats off to them , very nice . Now how bout tuning abilty for the 2.2 so all these projects can really start making the power their capable of

 

Who makes that were did you find it because that looks like it would fit inthe 2.2 engine bay.

 

I'd wager that car runs like ****... the 'charger was probably just popped on for show... sure, it looks cool... but unfortunately you 2.2 guys still lack tuning... good idea, good execution, but the inability to tune properly kinda negates the whole thing.

 

I know that theres no tuning but when tuning comes out Id like to go this rought then a turbo. Just expanding my options.

 

I dont doubt it runs , Dawn @ street grafitti sill has the STS rear turbo on the 05 2.2 Cobalt they have . Pretty sure its tuned with a mafT and nowhere near its tru potential .

 

Looks like a Vortech blower to me...

 

i have to ask so i can learn, Centrifugal Supercharge what makes it different the other s/c?

 

A centrifugal supercharger is basically the same type of pump as the compressor side of a turbocharger, but is mechanically driven off the crankshaft instead of by exhaust gas. Internal gearing steps up the spin speed, and gives a distinctive whistling sound, that most drivers enjoy hearing, but the centrifugal supercharger must be classified as noisy.

 

....as opposed to our supercharger that just speeds up the air and doesnt actually compress it .

Sneaky- seeing the support ribs on the pulley side , that definately a procharger .

 

All speculation at this point Maybe we will get the skimmy later.

 

so whats with the ECM looking thing under the hood where the stock ecm would be?
