Mine did the same thing all last winter when startup temps were below 50F. It only squeeked for a minute or so though, just til the engine bay warmed up.

 

That's exactly what mine does.

 

So, I wasn't supposed to do anything with the alternator, right? I mean, it seems to work just fine, but I remember reading about flipping wires earlier in my thread...

 

Someone said that the SC setup changes the direction of the alternator, but I haven't had any issues and if you haven't, then I would let it go.

 

sub'd for my build!!!! good work!!!

 

x2. ive been deciding on whether i wanna dump any more money into my ls. i think i might though.

 

it does. The LSJ alternator has a clutch and only spins in one direction, but the L61/LAP/LE5 alternator can spin in both directions, so you dont need to do anything. Since it makes AC voltage, it doesnt matter if the wires are swapped or not either

 

Ahh, good to know!

Out of curiosity, what type of gas mileage were/are you getting, Casey?

 

well, i have almost 100% city driving, and i was seeing around 22mpg. highway i would be in the 30's easy tho.

 

Nice explanation, thank you.

 

can someone explain to me whats a ic pump and heat exchanger pump
is it the same thing both and whats the function ofit
thanks

iM just a beginner
thanks/

its ok with some research now i know its the intercooler pump connecting the coolant etc

Another question arisein my research where do i check the IAT2 temp range

help plz

 

The supercharged Cobalts do not use an intercooler - they use a heat exchanger, and the heat exchanged pump runs the coolant through the heat exchanger and the intake manifold.


Aeroforce Interceptors can read the IAT2 temp.

 

thanks for info.. and if i supercharge my car ill need the Aeroforce Interceptor

and.. regarding the build in some build info guide i saw ic pump..
so whats that for then
so will i need an ic pump or just the he pump

 

IC pump in this case would just be incorrect terminology for the heat exchanger pump.

 

ok thanks for info

 

The Interceptor will not read IAT2 unless you use the stock lsj 2.5b tmap sensor and rewire it into the maf, where you can read it as iat1(even though you are actually seeing iat2 numbers).This is for the 2.2/2.4 only.

hey mp81 i need ur help
heres my question:
Theres a radiator cap in front near the tb next to the supercharger on the picture i guess its for cooling but to what is it connected. and how

On my stock engine 2.4 i dont have it and

Does the 2.0 have an intercooler stock or something like that please help me thanks

 

its the intercooler/heat exchanger coolant system for the supercharger

 

so i will need to buy this too to supercharge my 2.4
does it come with the zzp cooler or
if its and lsj part whats the part number for it.

 

either buy that or a option B tank or an inline coolant tank..your call.

 

when you say tank you mean theother coolant tank that some people install in stage 2 kit someting like that right

or ive seen people having both of them that should be good too and better i guess..

hey does any one have something like this but with all the parts described and detailed if so let me know thanks i would like to learn more about each parts before i supercharge my 2.4



where exactly does the heat exchanger pump go? any pics to show me guys..

 

the heat exchanger pump goes inside the heat exchanger pump bracket which bolts on to piece 906 in the above picture.

and no, no one runs the extra coolant tank (option B) AND the stock filler neck (option A). at the same time. the whole point of running the option B tank is to replace the opt. A neck.

 

Went and washed the car at a quarter wash to get all the salt and **** off. Still isn't like a good handwash at home, but it does the job.










Finally, a video. Sounds better in real life than the video. I really like the sound inside the car.

Looks good Kyle! How does it sound?
