Only real car I know of that has an engine that can support anything near even 50 psi let alone 60-100 is a diesel, and thats not even a car its a truck. Silly Poopra guys

 

"Wanna Race From A Roll" That one line defines Supras

 

Not to start a war but the supra motor is capable of 48 psi, give or take, and turns out ridiculous numbers. I don't really understand the point but just figured i'd put that out there.

 

Message from Whipple

I'm sorry, but we do not offer a direct replacement for the Eaton compressor. I do not know of anyone who has done this conversion.
Thank you for your interest,

Subject: Conversion to Whipple Supercharger


Hello,

My name is Patrick A Lombard and I currently own a 2005 Cobalt SS supercharged. This 2.0L LSJ engine comes with an Eaton M62 roots blower. I am questioning how much more horsepower I can push through the blower before heat becomes an even bigger issue. My question for you is if you have any knowledge of anyone converting an M62 or M90 blower setup to a Whipple twin screw. I am trying to find out what issues will have to be addressed. This includes things such as if I would be able to use my existing air bypass valve, etc. I know that an adapter plate for the intercooler/manifold would have to be designed and I also know an adapter plate for the throttle body would be necessary. I was hoping you may have any additional information for me. Thank you for your time.

Well poop. This makes me really want to start a custom conversion

 

Nice try Pat but whipple has told a lot of people they have too much on there plate and will not be offering a direct replacement. Someone's going to have to go old school and fab it up themselves.

 

enough emails to whipple and they decide it's worth their time to do a swap.

 

Its gonna take a little bit more than just emails from kids saying they want it. Its going to take atleast a grand upfront by 10+ people before a prototype is even made. They have no reason to listen to a couple of 19 yr old saying "Yo I want one of your twin screw superchargers cause I hear theyre dope and can make my car faster and sound real cool" without those 19 yr olds showing them some serious cash downpayments Whipple has been around long enough, its not like they NEED the little bit of business the Cobalt community might provide.

 

Yeah, I never figured they would offer a direct replacement kit. Like everyone has said they have enough other things on their plate. But I definitely think the custom fabrication would be worth a shot. I was just hoping they may have heard of someone else making a custom twinscrew setup from a roots blower.

 

all i have to say is i want one when i get my ss!!

if anyone decides to do this post some pics and some numbers asap!!!!!!!

 

I have to give it to him, that is the way that business works. I have seen a lot of brilliant ideas, but they never leave the ground because nobody is willing to fork out the cash.

And I don't think he meant to belittle or community, just the fact that many of us may not want or be able to drop that kind of money on our cars. Maybe in a few years if the the sales keep up and there is more of a market to reach out to.

 

Well boys it seems i have some good news for this thread. I am 99.9% sure i'm going to be ordering a Cobalt SS tomorrow so i shall be the first to adapt the whipple and S-AFC2.

 

I don't see how you can use that choice of words that he did and not mean to belittle the owners or the community.

I don't want to argue about how companies decided to develop product cause I am not qualified to do that. If others care to speculate that can do so, but they don't have to do so in a negative manor.

 

May someone plase email me at DASBLANDON12@aol.com about upgrading my supercharger. My goal is 400 hp.I do plan on getting nitrous. for my car also.Thanks and please email me.

 

well in about a week or two i will have a M-90 installed on the car. We have the adapter plate just about built just need a few welds done, and then i have an intese kit also coming as well. i can not wait till all of this is done. i will keep you updated and will post pics when all is done. oh yea the M-90 will be pushing approx 13 psi too, man i thought i had traction problems before and there will be dyno sheets to along with video for the non believers. lol

 

So did you complete the swap yet?

 

its been one hour your moron.....

 

heheheheheehehehe that is damn funny. i should have it done in a week or two.

 

first that whipple S/C you have listed above...is it prettymuch direct bolt on also, are there any other upgradeable supercharges for better power besides whipple???IM a big turbo guy so this is new....i want 300+hp like you said lol so im gettin that whipple....need help..

 

You guys are missing one important part! The M62 is designed to pull less HP per rpm turned than the M90. You bolt an M90 on and spin at the RPM the 2.0 needs to be spun to and you have HP robbing monster strapped on to the intake! Look at the charts! No look at what HP the M90 is using at 7000 engine rpm vs the M62. The light should turn on!

 

you get the swap done yet?

 

Maybe he read what Fast06SS said about the power robbing beast he decided to add to his car. That's the same reason I decided against the Blower swap.

 

I have i 2006 Chevy Cobalt SS Supercharged 2SS and i want to hook it up for the track? i am having problems at finding parts and a shop in orlando to do what i want to it? can anyone help me?

 

it is still process we ran into a slight problem so we had to redo the adapter plate.
i have ever intension of doing this swap. just becuase. we will see if there is any gains or if it will cost me power like Fast06ss says. it is all good though i will let you know when it gets done. sorry guys i wished it was done.

 

Updates ?

 

**** those blowers. Put a 2.4L Kenne Bell in the SS
