ok so i have been wanting to either supercharge me 2.4L SS/NA or turbo it. to be honest i dont know what is better. anyone have any suggestions? not sure if i wanna buy the zzp supercharger or turbo charger wanna piece it together. looking for the cheapest easiest way to do this.

 

sc is cheaper and easy to install.It has power but not alot where the Turbo can push as much as you want it to.

 

SC is best for real world street driving. Turbo is good for track and producing high numbers, but there is kinda a loss in our FWD cars, going past like 450 seems kinda iffy. I watch people lose traction constantly. Yeah it cool to hit your turbo and lose traction but not when your racing someone. I don't want to have to drive around on drag radials for everyone to suspect my car is crazy fast and get pulled over by cops all the time.

 

if i were to just use a stock turbo charger which would push the most power out of the 2.4?

 

if i were to piece one together from a scrap yard. what would i need other than the intake mani. and the injectors and obviously the air intake itself?

 

exhaust mani

 

I have 2006 Cobalt SS N/A

It has been a year for me to. To think about the same thing.
I want more power. But I want my car to last along time.
For me it is about longevity of the engine. 258 WHP from a Super Charger Stg2 from ZZP will do me fine as well as not blowing up my stock components.

Turbo would be good for someone willing to take the risk. IMO


The boyfriend and I and the help of Cobaltss.net, We have decided to go with supercharger and full bolt on.

So we figure :
$1500 H/DP/CB/I
$2374.99 for the Super Charger kit stage 2.
$ 500.00 Dyno / HPtune
-----------
Grand total $4374.99 CDN
not including tax.

Hope this helps.

 

I spent around 1600 on my sc with the tune....

 

That's good.

We're getting brand new everything. So there is no chance for problems / mishaps that could arise from getting used parts.

 

ZZP Kit is used Parts.

 

so the only thing i would need is the supercharger itself the intake mani, the exhaust mani, and the injectors? and obviously a tune. nothing to do with the cpu or wiring harness? or intercooling?

 

wait are you going turbo or sc?

 

supercharge. its better over all from what i read so far

 

well in that case you dont need a exhaust mani you can use your stock one

 

ok so i wont need anything to do with the cpu or the wiring harness or intercooling? i know ill need a boost gauge.

 

you wont need anything electrical beside the IC pump a 2.5 bar map senor( if you wanna see Iat's),injector harness,boost gauge and more gauges

 

Turbo, piece together a kit, we have many items available on our site.

Turbo will offer a better HP increase per $.

 

hahahaa

 

I am sure they have guide lines and inspect to ensure no part is unsafe.
Professional manics..

not some Joe blow selling his blower on kijiji ...... maybe some people don't know how to inspect a blower to find out it is safe for pressure or if all the parts inside are good. Or even to look for fine cracks....

I don't.... Plus ZZP has a very good reputation.
They have been good to me so far.

I don't think that they're selling bad Supercharger kit.

 

Supercharger is also harsh on ur transmition

 

so how much am im gonna have to pay for all this? i know its not to expensive cuz i could go to a scarp yard and find all this.

 

anything you do to your car is harsh on your tranny. i already have bad syncros. gotta get a f23 tranny too

 

im not sure but I recommend getting a new IC pump.

our trannys are pretty tough tho

 

Ya I know that but the sc will be even more than a turbo. That's what alot of people told me

 

how much do IC pumps run?
