i live in big lake, lemmie know when you guys are gnna meet up. They dont like me at RKC meets or id go.

 

meh you can blend in...i wanna see the saturn

 

Silver, lowered, debadged, chrome rims and I think a tsudo got off on butler from 52. Anyone here?

 

why dont they like you?

 

not really its loud.

Because i belong to a diff forum that they dont really like, lets just say after we left the cops showed up. But I might beable to get away with going to it again, its been a while.

 

You will be fine.

On another note i might switch to E85 before powercruise

 

Anyone in MN know a shop that can supercharge or turbocharge an 07 2.4 that is totally stock? I'm hoping to do this as cheaply as possible while using decent parts and an installer that knows what he or she is doing. Perhaps an LSJ swap would be ideal, if some shops around here end up having extra kits from those who upgrade to a turbo. Or perhaps I could get a kit off the forums and have it installed and tuned by someone local. The ZZP kit is hard to justify at $4,000 based on what my car is worth.

 

I know someone. I would source parts yourself first.

Ideally i would just gather your parts and make a weekend of it and some of us would be able to help as long as there is good notice.

I supercharged my 2.2 myself with a couple of buddies help.

I can help ya along the way with questions. I wouldnt do LSJ swap, just install the S/C. Your 2.4 can handle a very good amount of power.

 

Where do you suggest I get the parts? From this site, or is that sketchy? There is a guy who has a complete SC kit here.. https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/part...t-sale-280502/

Should I get that?

 

zzp sells a complete sc kit for 2000.

 

Yea, dont do a 2.0 swap.

M62's sell for dirt cheap now. L

 

Thats not a bad deal. You would need different injectors cause those wont handle that 2.8 pulley. Talk with him on price.

Im about $1700 into my build but i had a bunch of upgrades. I pieced/bought everything on my own.

 

Honestly id go turbo over a s.c. Are you a auto or a manual?

 

I'm an auto. For ZZP kits, it looks like the SC kit is a little under $3,000, and the turbo is almost exactly $3,000. If I were going with ZZP, I would probably go with the turbo.

Another kit here. https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/part...46/index2.html He says it's not quite complete. I guess that other one isn't quite complete for me either since I'm a 2.4. This second kit is a bit more expensive, but it seems to have a few things that are nicer. I really don't know anything about cars though.

 

I have a stage 1 zzp turbo kit on my car, it was pretty easy to do.

yeah be careful with the auto, I wouldnt try to push it too much if you plan on DDing it.

 

I don't even think ZZP sells the state 1 any more. I commute weekdays with the car. I don't want to go nuts... I just want the car to not feel sluggish. I'm not interested in the car being overly fast. I'm starting to lean towards the ZZP turbo kit just because it's all in one. Is the stage 2 air to air the way to go? Would you consider that being careful, or is that too much?

 

Yeah I bought one of the first kits made, i still think its just enough power the way mine is. its not a lot to handle but i like it because the boost isnt instant so the tires dont just spin. I run a air to air and it works just fine. I can almost dead hook in 2nd on stock steelies with my suspension.

 

engine is reassembled!

 

motor install is happening today... if anyone's bored and interested in helping, i live in eagan. just pm me to get my number or send yours and i'll give you directions

 

Im an auto

 

Dont think I have seen either of you, sold the balt though now have the red mazdaspeed 3.

 

How do you like the MS3?

I really wanted to get one, but could never find a good deal around here. I ended up getting my White TC instead out of nothing more than impatience, really.

I've never had a car that wasn't a Cobalt SS and got my first one brand new in 05 lol. They are kind of getting old at this point. Might put mine up for sale soon.

 

how did it go? ready to break it in?

 

that install was the biggest pain in the ass of all our lives... it was hot as hell, we started about 1pm and we were trying to line it up to the transmission for about....6 hours. fml. it's in and bolted to the tranny and mounts. just need to get everything back on outside of the engine. idk if i'm gonna start today or not, it's so freaking hot out.

 

I love the car, I had my cobalt for 6 years. Had nothing but trouble the last year with the sunroof leaking like crazy. Had it adjusted and everything, still miss it but this is a great upgrade from my cobalt ss n/a.
