How many people would be interested in a bolt on procharger c1 kit? I have been talking to a guy at speedmafia.com and we are working on it right now. But im just looking for opinions. If you go to his website you can see the set-up for the 2.2l ion and it looks good. he said they made 190whp on a untuned 2.2L @ 10 psi. But I think It would be awsome to do it on a 2.0l. So, tell me what you think!

Doesnt seem like the conversion would be to bad, how much more efficient is it than the Heaton?

chevytech007

You can get specs @ procharger.com but Im not that sure? I will be looking into it more today. But for flow the c1 maxes out @ 24 psi and 1000cfm! So theres a lot of potential.

cobi

yikes, bring on the supporting mods

Jackalope

If a 2.2 made 190 whp then your 2.0 would probly make less. Seems to me this needs to be worked on a tad more for it to be something worthwhile.

Destructo26

I'd like to put one on my go cart.

pwn you all! muhahaha..

cobi

why do you say that the 2.0 would make less?

RaineMan

Say what now? The 2.0 can handle twice the boost that a 2.2 can.

Though I don't see the advantages of it over the Eaton unit. If you're gonna go through all the trouble to ditch the SC... why do it in favor of another SC? Just go turbo.

Jackalope

No no guys you mis understand why I said that. Not that the 2.0 can't handle more cause we all know it can but if they put the SAME amount of boost into your 2.0's that they did the 2.2 then yes it would make less power. The whole displacement thing guys.

True they could pump up the boost for the 2.0 and make gobs more power but I was refering to the 10psi part.

Not hating on your 2.0's guys really.

RaineMan

Ah... I see your meaning. Though I wager that the 2.0 at 10PSI can make more power than the 2.2 simply b/c we can tune for the boost.

I will restate that I have yet to see a boosted LS/LT that's held together for more than a week.

WhiteSSBalt

true. Just b/c your engine is set up more correctly for boost, dosen't mean that the 2.2/2.4 wouldn't make more power if they were running the same psi. I'm going with Jackalope on this. That whole "theres no replacement for displacement" phrase comes into play here........

Jackalope

Rainman, tuning does help BIGTIME! doesn't it?
WhiteSS, thanks for getting my meaning.

R&C_rallySS

I think this would be an awesome set up for a 2.2 or 2.4.

bc3tech

procharger SC runs TONS cooler than a roots.
2.4 FTW... displacement, internals, AND tuning!!!!!!

somebody hasn't been paying attention... the 190whp was ME.... 4000mi+ on my procharger setup.

Edubs

I have thought about this in the past also and looked at the C1. Sure it will be more efficient than the Roots, but at what it will cost, a turbo is more efficient and will probably cost the same.

You guys forget the head on the LSJ should offer more power than the L61 and LE5. I'd go out on a limb and say the 2.0 will make just as much power as a 2.2, if not more. The 2.4 is a different story due to VVT. That powerband would be sick!

EDIT: Actually, I'll guarantee it. Thinking about it now. If the C1 is more efficient than the roots than it should make a lot more power! Seeing as the Roots makes apprx 200WHP at 12psi on the LSJ, at 10psi on a more efficient blower, it should make just as much, if not more power than a stock LSJ...

Exxxxxcellent
Procharger for the 2.4l....yes...good....

ill wait and see what happens becuase im still trying to decide which way to go. But i have to see some numbers first.

and you can have a bov lol

i just like to see more options out there for ALL of our cars!

I think you would love the procharger. No oil lines to run. No turbocharger heat. No exhaust work. your intercooler is still going to be used. And it sound awsome!!! The supercharger can support up to 650 ish horsepower so it can grow with you and your mods. So you duel pass setup and front mount coolers are still used(no money wasted).
also its going to be so much easier to install then the turbo and make more power. Im shooting for 18 psi.

And the 2.0l will make more power due to the fact that the intake manifold will hold boost! ha ha ha

Jackalope

Oh God.

Area47

i could talk to a couple of techs at ATI/Procharger themselves and see what the word is. if they would be interested in making a kit

artawesome

are you talking our supercharger that we have on our 'bolts? or other supercharger out there?

blown06

if i had the money i would convert to a procharger in a heart beat
