trying to sc this cavy
okay first things first the car is a 2004 chevy cavalier 2.2 l61
okay my parts for now are as follows inovative wideband lc-1, vac/boost gauge, pillar pod, supercharger coolant reservoir(stole the idea off of another sc build), and i'm order this from zzp https://www.zzperformance.com/cobalt...1089&catid=166 also i have hptuners and i guy that i know who does nothing but chevy cars and tunes alot of single digit track cars, so my questions are how much boost can my stock bottom end handle how much does that supercharger produce and is there a way to control the boost through the boost bypass solenoid since my car isnt a cobalt and doesnt have a connection for a boost bypass?

Why not just save your time and money and get a Cobalt SS/SC or a SS/TC if you boost a Caviler too much then the suspension, brakes and tranny might cause you issues as the car was not designed for any performance other than what it is, a plain old daily driver.
Just my adivce and opinion

Youre not likely to get many helpful answers about a Cavy on a Cobalt forum (see post #3)
Stop over at ecotecforum, and if youre really desperate you could try jbody.org
This swap has been done MANY MANY times, all the asnwers you need are out there, you just need to research more.

Maven FTW. Although I knew some ******* was gonna say you should get rid of it... My friend Ray had a Cavi that was running just south of 400hp and DD'd it for 6 months before it was stolen. Cavi's are just as much a performance machine as Balts are.
Yeah, youre right, it was hard to understand that you didnt mean to SC the Cavalier, I mean **** all you said was to buy a different car since Cavys werent performance machines.
wow lol such argument well it is my money and my car that already has full suspension so thank you though for the helpful info at least someone didnt tell me to buy another car cuz honestly insurance and car payments suck so i like to keep that all to a minimal cobalt ss is going to cost me over 200 a month for insurance so why not just boost the bad ass cavy lol but thank you i will check out that forum

Lets see, 04 Cavi 3500~5500, Cobalt SS/SC 8500~14000, Cobalt SS/TC 16000~22000
Take the money for either of the Cobalts and throw it into the Cavi and you got a much faster car with more options for doing it safely.
thank you for the support but now that i'm trying to order this zzperformance has not returned my calls plus there online store isnt working right and somehow they pulled out the money but the shipping lady "only person to answer the phone at all" said she has no record of my order

Wow... That sucks man. Seems like there are a lot of people having issues with either shitty parts or order issues. I dont know if OTTP's stuff with work with a Cavi(Cobalt/IRL mainly) but they are worlds better then ZZP. Good luck.
