im looking into ordering a zzp supercharger kit for my 06 cobalt, there is a motor i found locally with less than 11k on it i planned on buying to build off of, i dont want anything super powerful i just enjoy a sc and i would like it a little better than stock. question is, if i run the stage 2 set up on the stock internals would they hold up good? i dont want to spend the money on forged internals honestly but i want it reliable, i dont plan on it being a race car but might hit the track once or twice, looking for more show and a little go here and there. i have a manual trans and plan to up grade clutch anyways. i would really like pro's and cons on this so help would be very much appreciated

 

keep it well oiled with synthetic and change every 3k miles to be safe. get cooling mods and don't go smaller than a 3" pulley to be a little more on the safer side.

 

alright i know this has been asked on here a million times but i was curious about the zzp kit mostly, idk what all parts i would need to piece it together myself, i know the special rib belt and pullys from zzp would make it longer down time when i need to replace something, so would zzp or peiceing a kit be better?

 

you'd spend half the money on the kit by piecing it together by yourself. and the zzp kit doesn't come with EVERYTHING you need

 

really? see this is where i need tobe educated on it so i dont make a mistake. locally finding anything from a ss is pretty much out of the question, wat does the kit not come with?

 

doesn't come with a true intake for sc. and that will screw up your maf readings. you're gonna want at least 60's. comes with shitty tune. doesn't come with gauges nor wideband. you can pick all the stuff up that zzp is selling for about 800 bucks....

 

what are 60's? planned on using trifecta to tune i think that is about the only option for me correct? 06 2.2? so could i buy supercharger off them and piece the rest? doing the lsj swap looks a bit confusing to me dosent all the pullys need to be changed? if i could find a good how-to write up and it, parts needed and everything, i can do the install im good with tools just new to the cobalts, im not sure wat will and wont work with it

 

also didnt care for their pulley routing setup too much. I'd suggest getting the lsj setup but yeah the intake was horrible.

 

need a good reading i can chack out on it, i wanna do it but dont want to get the wrong stuff

 

dude you need to learn how to use the search button

i have an lsj throttle body for sale if you want. brand new and you will need it

 

supercharger is super simple to do... i put on my whole set up in like 3 hours the second time around

 

my original question was if the zzp kit was any good my bad for getting off topic with it, iv turbo charged a neon before but the thought of cutting my wires and stuff is what im concerned about

 

there are wire diagrams everywhere for our car. you won't have to cut any wires if you get the adapter harnesses. but you will save yourself a lot of money if you buy all of this separate

 

If you bought all the parts necessary off me it would save you some money lol pm me if interested

 

ill do some reading into it i appreciate the advice, and i pm'd you

 

i have the zzp kit, doesnt come with EVERYTHING like the site says. i brought it to a local shop, they had to call zzp a bunch of times, and needed to get random misc bolts clamps and gaskets.
the intake system is a joke expecially if your auto, my filter is so bangged up and all that. i have a injen intake i have to put back on so it will be tuned properly and get the right readings
but other than a few little things its not bad, i have the 3.1 pulley and 60's (am switching to 42's 42's will be fine for you) and its a nice gain. its alot of fun going from stock na to supercharged

 

u r throwing money down the drain if u change full synthetic every 3k....
