Too bad we couldnt get something like this to bolt where the air cond comp is. I dont have a/c but there looks like something this small would fit. Put it on a adjustable bracket and change pulleys to get the desired boost. :)

first we need a new intake mani, but the only one in development is one for a turbo application.
Intake manifolds are an entire dedicated science in itself. Why oh why oh why would you want to spend money to build an N/A aveo...?
HAHAHAHA NOZ would be easyer and cheaper to do wouldn't it?
Until you start having to refill the bottle and replace driveline partsQuote:

Turbo, forged engine, horsepower limits are literally endless. Plan on 250whp and lightened chassis to run 10's-11s.
Why all the thoughts that the plastic intake manifold is weak? Has anyone actually blown one up yet? Uh, no. Most likely it will take over 10psi of boost which most Aveos will never see anyway.
Exactly my view, i mean the base cobalt (all non-SS) have the same kind of plastic intake manifold that we do and theyre boostin with turbos and ive never heard any problems with it.

So the supercharger is that can of Squirt, right? To give a boost to the hamster that powers our cars?
correct, they are plastic, i had a ls and was just about ready to run a 75 shot of nos in it before i traded it in. There is one guy that did blow it but that is because he was at the drags and did not have a windows switch (not to smart) so he sqeezed to early. looked like a firball.hehe anyways there should not be an issue with the manifold because with a turbo set up you are not going to see any real boost untill the mid RPM range. a supercharger would work as well, but i dont think i would run it at very high boost. I have been contimplating running a 50 shot in our aveo, i think it can be done. i might be working on this soon. i will keep you guys updatedQuote:

Ford Focii have plastic IMs too.
Just give the Hamster in the crank case a red bull you will get all the boost you need. :roll:
It seems that it would be easier to supercharge a Aveo than turbo. I found these units that have a rear intake and side discharge which would be a low profile. A aftercooler could be run in front of the radiator.

hmm... ease, not sure. I've turboed quite a few cars, never wasted time throwing a S/C on. Manifold isn't hard...
what are you guys worried about if we are the ones building it? let us do all the "hard" parts and you guys do the easy part - drive.
Just looked at the website i didn't see a price. any idea how much that would be? or if they really work?Quote:

Go on eBay and search for "Aveo supercharger."
You'll get a listing of an intake pipe with a 12 volt blower fan and cone filter.
$160 U.S. well spent! #-o
how about that e-ram thing, it seems to work. i think its 1 psi and 2 of them will make like 1.7psi.
if find an M45 from a slk 230 there's an electronic clutch.
You could have the supercharger only come on when you felt like a little extra punch.
And if your managment has an input to switch programs you're even better off.
Gas mileage when you want it with fun at the flip of a switch. Like NOS with an infinite bottle.
Centrifugal blowers are nice and small if mounting space is your concern they however don't boost quite as low in the RPM as a roots or twin screw (lysholm) setup. Still worth looking into.
used blowers from older GM product can be had relatively cheap. From bonnevilles, GTP's. I think earlier 90's models have M62's and late 90's into the 2000 are M90's.
??? you cant hook two up in a row and make more pressure....the second fan would have to be spinning faster than the first...so then the first fan would be pointless.....and what would be the point of 1 psi...if your that desperate for more power theres two options: different caror turbo the thing...Quote:

Leaf blowers will not work to any advantage, except create a lot of noise that makes you think you're going faster but you're not . In fact, that's what 99% of the so-called 'superchargers' you see on eb*y are when doing "aveo supercharger" in a search string. Electric powered motors need 5-6k watts of juice to do their job. There's only one practical electric supercharger in existence, made by Thomas Knight. You can do a search and find lots of info, and its easily installed on just about any car out there even if you don't have much in the way of mechnical skills. But there's big caveats, as electricity on vehicles cannot power such hungry beats for long periods of time, and it's expensive pushing near $2k. At that price you might find better options.
and even with the thomas knight one you have to fill your trunk with batteries to power it so you just be adding a crap load of weightQuote:

Hello i've seen the sprint kalos i don't know if you heard about it it has a rotrex supercharger, all made by delta auto
