want info on a blown build on a 2.2 l61 and i saw the last build forum and it seems like a lot of **** to get for it..... is there any easier way? and how hard is it to tune the ecm for it?

 

Zzperformance.com

They sell complete kits for like 2200
I pieced mine together for 1100. Do some research, there's info everywhere

 

google is your friend

 

This is the last thing ill spoon feed you lol

ZZPerformance - 2.2/2.4L Bolt on Supercharger Kit #ZZ-2224SCKT

 

Oh look, it's the answer to every question you have:

^^

lol this is like the 3rd thread i've seen today saying "how do i supercharge my car?" lol

search is your friend. read, a lot. there's plenty of information just on this forum on builds and such to keep you learning for a year.

 

you can probably get a used m62 for like $350.

 

its probably gonna cause engine problems though

 

again i say, just because you guys f'ed yours up, doesnt mean everybody else will have or has issues. there are tons of 2.2SCs that run just fine...IF you know what you're doing.

 

There are quite a few people with supercharged 2.2 and engine problems

 

theres always engine problems if you build your car how its not supposed to be......you fix it and its fine

 

you and...? i can think of at least 5 people on here that have SC'd and run fine.

i'm not arguing with you. stop trolling everyone's threads just because your build didnt work out

 

drumrush, soundbalt, glowbalt to name a few

 

i had problems with mine, but i fixed them, now the only thing i need to fix is my tune which im waiting to hear back on, but other then that car runs beautifully!!

 

i currently have 0 problems. i had a leaky injector but i changed the seals now theres no CEL and my datalogs are lookin good

 

Please tell me you're not serious? I find it entertaining that you have the audacity to mock these guys and you want to be among their ranks. Your jumping in headlong without heeding their warnings and I must say "foolish is as foolish does." All custom cars come with custom problems. If you honestly think that you won't have any problems with your ride you really haven't been playing this game long enough.

Personally I've enjoyed the ride. The blood, sweat, tears and money have been worth it to me and I'm still not done.

I guess, all I'm really trying to say is listen and learn because you have not boosted your car yet. You have a long way to go still.

 

my car is fully built from ground up and i haven't gotten any problem. i wonder why? cuz i know what i was doing and i read forums and other stuff to learn what i was doing before i picked up a tool and started to go to work on my car. if you just start taking **** off your and put something on thinking it will work and be fine than your just dumb and shouldn't even be touching a car.

 

this is like word for word what i was gonna say. the only parts on my car that i have not touched are the actual engine internals. I am supercharged, with custom everything. brakes, valve cover, strut mounts, strut bars, ebrake cables of a 1997 cavalier, lots of retro fitted LSJ parts, even cobra parts (haha) and not one problem caused by any of them. Other then wear and tear stuff, I have NEVER had problems with my car, and its got 120k miles on the clock. 70K of that done by me since july 07.

 

First off, i'm not mocking anyone.

Secondly, you should probably know what you're talking about before you open your mouth. Just because my car is not supercharged as of yet does not mean i dont know what i'm talking about. ACTUALLY, i have turbocharged a 2.2 cobalt and it went smooth as pie. NO problems. It was done right and we knew what we were doing before just jumping in tearing things apart. i expect no less from my supercharger build. BUT if there are problems, i have no doubt we'll be able to fix them, which redcobalt was unable to do and so he thinks everyone else will be unable to do so, as well.

So before you go trying to act all high and mighty, maybe you should get your facts straight and not assume things.

exactly what i'm getting at here.

 

Truth. Answers to every question youll ever have can be found on the internet. That's how i did my sc build too. Piece by piece, page by page. i couldve told you where every bolt and size of that bolt on our engines at the time

 

I have read a few of the SC builds. I dont think i found a direct answer to this. Can you still SC a 2.2 if it has SAI?

 

https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/2-2l...63/index5.html

You didn't read enough

 

Thank you for the link. I must have over looked it. I have a parts list print out from gene, But the list i have doesnt mention the SAI. Im running automatic. I think i read the lsj manifold and downpipe wont fit but I will use your link to add the parts to my list. Thank you again.

 

everyone knows what assume means..... stop being cocky like taerae said just because urs didnt work bro, dont discourage others for wanting to try it and just sit back an shut up about it if they mess up they mess up oh well sh&T happens everyday stop beatin eachother up **** it was only a question guys chill!

 

If you read through all of the build threads in the sticky I linked and the extra resources you will have an incredible advantage in tackling this. I would not expect to do this and have it be trouble free though. Things happen, some setups work for a week, some work for years. nobody can tell you whats going to happen on your car. It's a risk no doubt but if you have the time, money, and passion to do it, do it.


The LSJ header and DP fit an auto AFAIK but will cause rattle because it's the wrong size, the auto DP is ~1inch (I think) longer than the standard. If you SC I would look into getting a good after market header and down pipe.
