Alright guys im drivin a 2008 pontiac g5 2.2l base, automatic. Im buying the exhaust headers and downpipe right now and i already have the cold air intake and b+m shiftplus. I think im going to get a tune right after i finish my plans so far. Then around march im planning on supercharging. My main questions are like what other supporting mods will I need like tranny mounts and things like that? Oh, and can some anyone link me to some of the main things such as the cobra heat exchanger and stuff like that? I mean around March im going to look on this site for the actual blower but ill try to start accumulating the nick nacks until then lol. Thanks alot for your help guys i dont know what id be able to do without you.

 

A transmission cooler could be one of the best things you can do for your auto. FI or NA.

Oh yeah i forgot, someone was telling me about that. Do you think if i buy that now that i will have to take that out and reinstall it when i supercharge? I mean, i may as well wait until then if i have to move everything and stuff right?

Oh and if i go with this one, what fitting do i need? It says theres 3 different options so im not 100% sure?

Thanks for the help already

 

look in the how-to section...there are threads on supercharging both the 2.2 and 2.4 that will give you an idea of things you need

 

They're all 3/8th inch fittings. The only difference is the size of the cooler.

Personally, I think any of those would work. Just find a good spot for it and clamp the lines.

 

Alrite thanks man i think ill order that asap! Oh, and thanks ion. Ive been reading through those but im looking more for supporting mods than the actualt stuff i need. Any ideas?

 

there is nothing outside of whats listed in those how-tos that you need but it wouldn't be a bad idea to get a free flowing exhaust from the manifold back and maybe something to combat wheel hop (tranny mount inserts).

 

yupp im ordering the exhaust, and headers. Do you think the magnaflow high flow cat is necessary also? Oh, and i didint think automatics had wheel hop issues also i guess i was wrong?

 

^^ they will once you put the supercharger on.

 

lol hunterkiller do you think it was worth it in the end?

 

easily... i have no complaints about my car whatsoever (except that HPT doesnt support it...lol). My only regret is not having the cash to build my engine up. I want to see 300whp

 

Well thats good then..om definitely going to do this. Any specific tips for me?

 

Learn as much as you can before you do it.
Make sure you or your installer knows what all is needed before you start.
Make sure the tune is spot on before you start screwing around while driving the car.

Have fun with it, done stress out over small things like screw up and stuff you can fix.

 

Alright thanks man!Im just worried about more of the supporting mods like after i put this on stuff breaking down or things overheating etc...

 

if your an auto, transmission cooler is a good idea. and full exhaust never hurts...stock header has the smallest primaries ive ever seen, but thats more of an optional thing.

 

Yepp im about to ordee the tranny cooler, then the zzp mid length header and down pipe, to a magnaflow cat back exhaust. Then im hoping the tranny and engine mounts maybe from ttr?

 

^^ thats where i got mine

 

Thanks man!

 

Hey guys now that i got the main stuff out of the way like the actual blower and the parts, im looking for the right guages. I know this brand is pretty cheap and they could match all the red in my car already so this would be good.

what 3 guages would i need? I know im going with the cobalt 3 guage pod on the a-piller.

you already have a thread asking this question...

 

lol sorry im just tryin to get this stuff all organized!

 

Just get the OEM gauge with piller, save some cash and get HTP and then watch the whole bands, set and leave it alone, dont look all ricey with 3 pods hahahah

 

Wuts the htp and what is whole bands? Lol im definitely new when it comes to all this stuff if you couldnt already tell! haha thanks tho

 

I think he meant HPTuners which is a tuning program.

 

what will he plug the OEM gauge into...? lol get a mechanical gauge...theyre cheaper, and more accurate, and easier to install.
