Finally Finished up my supercharger build for my 2006 2.2L. Thanks to Vince at Trifecta for the awesome tuning!

A little info about my build:

Ported M62
Stock SS pulley size
Stock SS injectors
ZZP front mount heat exchanger
Injen cold air intake
Dual pass end plate
Extra coolant tank
SS front, rear, sides and lips

Car runs great, about 10-11psi and wot, and man does that supercharger whine! Fuel economy when driving normally is the same if not better than when the car was stock. Fuel tends to leave the tank fast at wot and having fun. Took me 2 full days from start to finish to get it all done with one friend (not including tuning).

For anybody that is gonna say "why didn't you just buy and SS?"
1- I didn't have the money when i bought the car for an SS
2- Price of the car plus everything i have done to it has costed less then buying and SS
3- Its ALOT more fun to build and do things on your own
4- Insureance is WAY cheaper for an LS than an SS!!


And of course some pics!!

 

All feedback is welcome!, any questions ask and i will try answer

 

sick NICE job, have fun

 

wow that looks really good. you basically have an ss/sc now! nice job!

 

nice congrats

 

nice wheels. nice build. you got discs or drums in the back?

 

Drums.. Only bad part. Not much i can do about it either without spending tons of money for something I don't really need anyway

 

You did a damn good job on that instal!!! Have fun with that!

 

oh ok. that stinks. you should put some brembos on the front. lol. how hard is a drum to disk conversion and how expensive are they?

 

very very nice indeed.

the cheapest i've seen a kit for was 1200. you would be better off going to a junk yard and pull off the rear's from a ss/sc

 

oh wow. thats quite a bit. i didnt think they were that much.

 

you may be in luck actually

no need to justify why you have an LS btw...nice work

what all did you have to move besides the tank for the windshield reservoir?

 

burn your clutch out yet? mine went after like 5 pulls with the supercharger on

 

nice build buddy. you gotten her on the road yet?

 

actually, im off a bit... its 1200 for the conversion kit that includes the big brake upgrade. its 900 for the conversion kit.

 

great build man can't wait to see it.

 

Very nice... I plan on doing this next weekend if all goes well & my parts come in on time... HOPEFULLY !!! If not then two weekends from now!!!

 

i love it, so many people are Sc'd now its awsome to see the community building up

 

^^ agreed. more join our masses!

 

Thanks for all the support guys! and thanks HunterKiller for the help you gave me with the couple questions I had during the build

 

What did you end up using belt wise 5rib vs 6 rib setups? Good job.

 

5 rib, the only pulley i need to use a 6 rib belt is the one for the AC. Doesn't seem like its worth the effort to try and replace it though

 

any time dude

 

you going to come help us with robs buildnow


also, what red is that...like what color specifically...I LOVE IT!!!! mine turned out kinda...too light lol...thats the color i have been looking for

 

So is the belt ribbed on both sides like the ss.sc one?
