My for real build thread. Lol.

Ok so ive had a few different build threads but this one is for real.
Right now im am going in this coming wednesday to have a custom long header and then also a custom exhaust.

After that i will be having the same shop, hopefully, make me a custom intake manifold to hook up to the M62 supercharger that the Cobalt SS Supercharged uses.

I will be re-locating my battery to the back of the car so i can run my intake down.

Eventually i will also be hooking up an intercooler system and water/meth injection.

Audicity on daewootech said he would be able to help me tune it using megasquirt.

My preliminary goals are around the 160whp area.

With more cooling mods i am hoping to closer to 200whp.

If i feel like re-building the engine at some point i will build it to take some more power and i might add some n2o into the mix of things.

I will have pictures up in a couple weeks of the headers and what not. I will probably not have them installed until the end of winter.

good luck to you...

Lol. Luck i will need.
tuning is the only part that is scaring me lol

good deal. Let me tell you. 160whp in a small car is fantastic. What psi do you plan on boosting initially? 5?

Im at 5psi putting down about 155whp will be turning it up to 10psi and hope to be about 220whp

As soon as Dan decides on what car he is switching to I'm gonna steal his Aveo and go wild... can't wait to boost it...

Just asking question here........ why the m62 for 5psi you be way under the efficeny range of that blower maybe at 10psi you would be in it, and the m62 is quite large and is designed for large 4cylinders and v6's according to eaton compared to an m45, which is designed for smaller displacement 4 cyclinders. The Mini Cooper supercharged version uses it, and GM even uses it in their supercharger kit for the Cavalier/Sunfire with 2.4, with that you would be in the efficency range of the blower. Just a thought.

I think he said somewhere else that he was getting the blower from a friend that was upgrading...

I agree, the m45 would be better, and if you look on the eaton website, the m45 is still rated for 2.0 liters and up although the mini is a 1.6 liters.

i must have missed he was getting a deal on it, they use the m45 on mini's and in the GM kit but it begins to be overspun on the 2.4 liter on the 2.6 inch pulley making about 8 psi but on a smaller motor, it can make more pressure.

im looking to boost to 10 to start off with.
if i can find a deal on an m45 or other small supercharger i will for sure go to that becuase of the efficency.

theFITisSLOW your boosted in an aveo??

does anyone know how much the GM sc kit is. If my friend doesnt turbo his balt im gonna have to probably just buy the brand new kit and just make it work.

lol. gotcha.
i just watched the speed channel they turbod one on stock internals and they were able to boost 14+ psi and not blow the motor.
i was pretty impressed.

im supercharged :D

sweet.
Jackson supercharger??

yes I have the one and only JRSC.. Theyve teamed up with Skunk2 and have started a company called Kraftwerks which will be selling SC kits designed by Jackson Racing.

what kinda track numbers are you throwing down with 155whp?

I havent been to the track yet. My car is currently in pieces at Kraftwerks. What i can compare it too is the new Civic Si's. Matched up pretty evenly on the straights.

The only thing bad about the GM s/c kit is the mani and supercharger are one peice, maybe on the Mini it is different but M62 is available on several cars other than the cobalt so they can be had out of a junkyard unlike the m45 which unless you get one off a Mini or modify the gm 2.4 s/c kit would almost be useless. best of luck.

yeah im just gonna get the m62 i think. alot easier i think than modifying it i think.

and theFITisSLOW thats awesome the new SI's are pretty quick. with 200+whp small cars like the fit and aveo will be very quick.

power to weight is lovely

yeah it is. the cobalts can run low 14's with 205-220whp stock so i figure with 200whp maybe slightly more i should be into the 13's easy given i can get traction

Your not worried about the stock tranny trying to run 200whp? Even 200 to the crank would probably be too much for the tranny...

trannies arent rated on hp for one....and i feel comfortable running 200whp for daily driving. I would be scared to take it to the track without making the axles stronger.....and by the time i get to 200whp...if my tranny goes it wont be a big deal ill just have to pay a lil more to have a much better tranny shipped from europe...unless of course by that time something might be available here.
