Supercharged Aveo

[shapinoweno]

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.

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 updated

ive been noticing that alot of cars have these plastic manifolds and run turboes...i believe tC is one of them

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.

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?

How about a slight update from the hampster.

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!

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.
