Supercharged Build
 
:ca:

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!!

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?

xCobalt05x May 17, 2009 07:49 PM

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

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?

ml2242 May 17, 2009 07:58 PM

outtamymind May 17, 2009 07:58 PM

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

xCobalt05x May 17, 2009 08:01 PM

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

jrmotosports 88 May 17, 2009 08:17 PM

^^ agreed. more join our masses!

cobalt_addict May 18, 2009 03:35 AM

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

spaz May 18, 2009 09:14 PM

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

cobalt_addict May 18, 2009 11:44 PM

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
