I know it would be cheaper to just buy a S/C off somebody here and get all the pieces together.

But is there any way to get a good GM discount on the J-body supercharger kit?

Cause that would be nice to get all brand new stuff at a discount.

Then just get some tuning going and should be set.

 

IN thoery it could work but until its actually put to the test i don't think anyone can realy say yes or no...

 

There are several guys that are supercharged. Some with tuning and one without.

They are all still running as far as I know.

 

I'm not really asking if it can be done

I wantt to know how we could pick up a GM kit for the ecotecs for a lot cheaper.

Possibly CED or a great member

 

ebay

 

just piece a similar kit.

Or just go turbo and build a complete solution for under 1500.....

 

enlighten me on where i can build this complete turbo solution under 1500, if you can tell me that im buying today. im not being a smart ass just wanna know what im missin out on.

 

Well the main reason I don't want to go turbo is price and install. I don't want to mess with my manifold and stuff again. I'm pretty sure I can do the super install in a a weekend with a few friends.

 

What sort of a "deal" are you looking for? What's a good price for one of those J body setups?

 

hell yeah, ig you can turbo for $1500 tell me too. my LT is begging for it!

 

well the going price is about 3000, but with the discount CED shows us, I wonder if they can do their GM discount with a markup for us.

That would bring and M62 within reach for a decent price.

 

The C.E.D. price is less than my GM Dealership employee price. They are selling the kit for only $200 over GM Dealership cost. It's the best deal you wil find I'm sure.

I could match it if anyone in AZ wants to buy one. I hope that doesn't violate any rules......?

 

Sorry I had never really looked to see if they had the kit available.

What else is needed to get the car going besides tuning?

A/F guage
boost guage?

 

I wouldn't bother with the cavi supercharger kit because it uses a smaller blower than the Cobalt SS's Stock M62

 

Well isn't it a good option because we don't really need a lot of cooling with it.

Or is that a wrong statement.

I mean can't we just bolt that thing on with no intercooler and get it tuned and be in pretty good shape.

A fully bolted Cobalt with the M45 or whatever would make well over 200bhp right?

 

Doubt it.

Most likely good for 180whp. Anything more than that would be pushing it.

 

well i said engine HP.

I just feel like it would be right up my alley for simplicity, cost and turn around.

ALso I'd be less worried about a blown engine and a little more reliable with that much power.

 

I have an M62 and reliability is not an issue if aftercooled.

 

You have an M62 on what? Is your sig not accurate? Or is there a 2.4L SC Manifold?

 

alright so what kinds of issues do the cavy-sunfire guys have with the kit as far as longevity.

I understand the M62 must be cooled.

But does the M45 really kill the internals of a 2.2 without cooling?

 

the gm discount brings the kit down to 1500+state tax, what is needed besides the kit is a wideband o2 to monitor a/f ratios...and a heat exchanger would be nice seeing as how i dont think the kit comes with one....hell go buy a cobra one, im sure that will help make a few more ponies

 

GARRET alPHA tURBO RUNS FOR 1100

 

so CED price is a grand more than GM discount price. Cause 1500 bucks would be awesome

 

Sitting in my bedroom.

My statement still applies
