Has anyone else noticed that on the Time attack cobalt it says it has a M62 hybrid. Has anyone heard anything about it? Perhaps this is how chevy will continue with the stages.

 

I think the hybrid means a smaller pulley.?

 

# Stage 2+ Ecotec engine developed by GM Performance Division and GM Powertrain
# 264 hp @ 7000 rpm (344 horsepower @ 6800 rpm with nitrous boost)
# 230 lb.-ft. of torque at 4000 rpm (350 lb.-ft. of torque @ 3600 rpm with nitrous boost)
# Eaton M-62 Gen 5 Hybrid supercharger

This shows another 20HP on what they said stage 2 is going to be and another 12 Ft.-lbs.

 

Yeah I'm guessing the '+' after the 'Stage 2' gives it 20 more HP. I can hear it now:

"Can I get the Stage 2+ upgrade instead of the Stage 2?" -Me

"That'll be another $1,200, and it will void your warranty..." - Dealership

oh well

 

Doesn't hybrid means air to water intercooler ?

 

I believe the '+' is the nitrous system.

 

It shows what it gets with nitrous after what it gets with the stage 2+ kit

 

i beleive i'll take 2

 

i believe the stage 2 theyre reffereing to is the engine upgrade not pully upgrade, if u read the gm sportcompact build book the staged 2 prepares the car for 300-400hp, which i think the output would produce 260hp+ thats my guess.

 

We're not talking about a pulley or engine upgrade. It says that it had a M62 hybrid and i was curious if anyone knew anything about it.

 

I agree it's definetly something different that the stock M62. I did a couple google searchs and got nothing.

 

Same here couldn't find anything relevant

 

maybe it's m90 internals inside the m62

cause some people call the m90 with m112 internals an m90 hybrid

 

Hybrid , probabaly only means its a M62 blower modified for the Cobalt application . Im sure the stock blower on our cars is not the exact same as you would purchase off eatons site .

 

I believe it is some kind of combination of the m62 and m90. I think I heard this somewhere but can't remember where. I'll try and find it again.

 

Why don't someone contact Eaton and kindly ask them what the M62 Hybrid supercharger is?

sounds like you got yourself a job. get on the phone 05redss

 

I called eaton, the person I spoke to said he has not heard of an m62 hybrid in production via eaton...but he said it is probably either the internals of a bigger (m90 probably) supercharger....he also said there is the possibility it could have been converted to something similar to a lysholm (twin-screw) type design within a modified m62 casing w/ an air to water type intercooler.

He sure had a lot of explanation...I think maybe he DID know what it was, but was not exactly @ liberty to discuss it.

 

Right on.... I hope they let us know soon. Anything get released from sema yet or will it take months

 

Sweet good news.
