So, I'm in the process of supercharging my 2006, Automatic Cobalt LS, with 73,000 Miles. I have found a guy with a "Full Supercharger Kit" for sale, for $700 shipped, and a local HP Tuner for ecotec cars.

Which leads me to two questions:

1. Is this everything I'll need to supercharge my LS?
Kit includes:
-M62 blower w/ZZP 2.9 pulley made about 9psi
-LSJ TB
-LSJ mani w/ dualpass
-ZZP Stage 3 intercooler
-LSJ idler
-ZZP adjustable tensioner (modified for fitment)
-CAI not sure on brand
-IC pump with bracket
-Also have a single pillar pod
All hoses/bolts needed for direct bolt on.

2. Honestly, how hard will the install be? My friend has a supercharged rocket bunny FRS that will help me out somewhat, Just not sure if there's anything I should know upfront.

I'm new with working on cars, and Love my CObalt LT, just want something with a bit more power to keep up with my JDM friends.

Do you already have an exhaust? How about injectors? What size pulley are you going to run and what fuel do you plan on using?

The guy is saying he had siemen 60's in it before, and as far as pulley's go, I'm not sure. As of now I'm just running normal unleaded, and I'm looking into a Megan cat back exhaust.

You will definitely want a header/dp and catback because the base model ones are restrictive as ****. Also youll want to switch to using 93 octane only and the 60s should be fine for that fuel. I see in the OP you said it had a 2.9 pulley, i definitely wouldnt go any smaller than that on the stock engine.

You need a maf extension harness,lsj throttle body, belt with one rib cut off, injector harness adapters depending on which style injector comes in the kit. I recommend getting all new gaskets as well.

With an 06 2.2 your only option for tuning is trifecta

Just emailed the guy back, he isn't "My tuner" just the only guy i've found so far.

Think I could just find a general ecotec/GM tuner who'd know about this trifecta tune?

go on trifectas website and email or call them

derekseay

Think I should get the supercharger kit? and the trifecta tune?

Also, is this a tune I can do myself? from a thread on the yourcobalt forum, that's what I collected.

Trifecta is the company that does the tuning, you just load the tune, log it, and send them the log. Then they revise it and the process repeats. You should really research this. A million people have done it.

Tbh, either trade for a 2007+ or buy an SS. Either of those routes you can get tuned more easily. 05-06 2.2l used an oddball computer and it is hard to get support for it.

Agreed^ but most people dont wanna sell their car.

derekseay

Yeah, i'd rather not get rid of this car. It was cheap, and in extremely good condition. With only 70,000 miles.

Been researching the Trifecta, and I'm gonna do it as soon as I have all the money for it.

Thanks dudes,

They were quite slow to respond when I contacted them last ^. I do not recommend them but as it's your only option...I guess good luck.

I compiled a list of builds which includes a thread that has many of the needed parts in it a while ago. Read an enjoy:
