Someone told me that an M62 supercharger would work on the 2.4l engine and that there is tuning available to make it work properly. Is this true? lol also, if it is, what would i need to put it all together and make it work the way its supposed to, including the tune?

Sry if theres already a post about this. Thanks for everyones time.

 

Anything is possible with money.

 

Tell "SOMEONE" to do it, then show you how it works!

 

i know at tune time in NJ they use Westers tunes for the 2.4 the owner told me himself. so I imagine theres a way. but you would be the pioneer.

 

Welcome to the site man!!

 

why not just get it turbo'd

id rather turbo my car than supercharge it any day.

 

yeah they make turbo kits that is your best bet

 

Eh, Id rather get a procharger. Boost is boost, just a personal preference thing.

 

for some reason turbo seems more intimidating that superchargers but thats just my opinion.

 

agreed

 

All the more reason to get a procharger. Self contained, and you can buy a BOV, people will assume you have a turbo. Easy installation and the intimidation factor of a turbo

 

has anyone tested the procharger on the ss/na yet?

 

Welcome to the site. That is one hell of a first post. Here is what I recommend. First, read, a lot. There are many threads on this topic. Second, what you are proposing is in fact possible. However, for use to tell you what you need to do it would require a semester of school. It just can't be addressed in an internet post. Start smaller, like "what options exist for forced induction on the LE5 engine" Go from there.

 

Not yet, at least none that Ive heard of. But Im saving up my money, after next school year I should be able to afford it. College has to come before the car lol.

 

there is someone in jersey ( or at least that was at a jersey car show) that had a 2.4L cobalt with a procharger... I wasn't there so i didn't get to talk to him...


that being said I'm hoping to procharge my 2.4L ion by the end of the summer or so

 

There is a supercharged 2.2, so it's possible. It's on youtube and the guy is a member here too. Like Halfcent said, you have to research different options.

 

i personally wouldn't put the heaton on you're 2.4 it's inefficient as hell... and it'll be just as much money and more work then just getting a procharger or turbo and it will give less gains

 

Yea, im learning myself on this whole procharger deal. After I buy books and whatnot for school Im just gonna save up my money and invest in a professional procharger build. Just need to find a shop that is certified to install procharger systems and has the capability of tuning the 2.4.

 

Speed Mafia is in the process of building a kit for the 2.4 .

 

haha yes they are and as soon as i get the rest of the money they'll have a 2.4 under their belt.

becareful with a custom shop man... i had one by me quote me 10-12K for a custom procharger kit... it's supposed to be a real easy install

 

People are intimidated because they don't understand how a turbo system works or what is involved.

When you take the time to learn how it works, it's not complicated and it really starts to make sense overall.

I know that there are books out there that will help you out...I own a couple. If you're that curious, PM me.

 

lol, when I read his post I thought he meant they were more mean sounding. Like if someone on the street heard a turbo and a BOV they would think "crap, better stay away, that thing has a turbo!"

 

lol well that too

haha

 

but can't forget, centifrugal superchargers, such as the Procharger you want, can utilize BOV's too, b/c the centrifrugal superchargers operate similarly to a turbocharger, hence why they look very similar. Its the roots type superchargers that can't really use BOV's. So if you get a Procharger for your car, you too could have that "intimidating whoosh" lurking under your hood as well.

 

Yessir, again, all the more reason why I want one, people wont know whats going on with me. And to go off topic, did you get a new day to go to Pro Motion? I went monday after I got off work, but didnt see a cobalt.
