2.2 guy. Is he full of ****?

O.K. I ran into a guy at work today who said that he just ordered a supercharger kit for his 2.2 L. Is ther a new kit out or is this guy full of ****. He said that he was building a sleeper and he was going to put a set of ss/sc wheels on it. I called him out on the wheels but i wasnt shure about the supercharger so i didnt say anything.

He might have ordered the GM supercharger kit for the 2.2 eco found in the J-body. If thats the case, hes in for a major disappointment when he finds out it wont work with the cobalt.

He probably bought the Cavy/Sunfire/Etc 2.2 kit.... find out if he did. Thats the only GM 2.2 supercharger out there

If the answer is yes, OWNED.

Well you dont really have to be that dumb to get the S/C kit. You just have to be the type that buys things without researching.

Let us know what happens.... mwhahaha

there are sites that incorrectly list superchargers/turbochargers for the cobalt... i can see the mistake happening, but shame on them for not researching first..

You guys are mistaken. The physicality of the kit will work...

- Same Bolt Pattern for the manifold
- Same dimension motor
- Same Crank Pulley
- Same ribbed belt

Everything about the kit will work but there will be no reflash available.

Also, one thing I'm not sure about is which way your intake leads towards...if it goes towards the driverside, than there shouldn't be any problems with that either.

hes also gonna be pissed when he finds out he doesn't have a 5x110 bolt pattern

and the intake routes to the passenger side but theres still room on the drivers side.

yup

and the j-body kit will fit , both the 2.2 and the 2.4(might need a little work) , but there is no reflash , so tuning your on your own , and just hope you dont blow it between installing it and trying to tune it

for the intake you would just use the 2.0 ss/sc intake , and there is a few parts in the kit you wont use , like the tb adaptor since all the cobalts are drive by wire , and the j's are cable


as for wheels that is pretty funny since he has 4lug wheels , and the ss and ss/sc are 5 , he will have fun with that 1

I think this guy is prob full o ****. I asked him today what brand supercharger it was and he said he didnt know I cant remember. No one drops a bunch of coin on something like a supercharger not knowing what kind it is or who makes it. I dont think this guy has the resources or knowledge to even begin a s/c install mutch less a full ecm tune. I know anything can be done with the right amount of money and the right equipment though.

Can't you just take a copy tune of the ECU/PCM from a salvage yard SS/SC and throw it in place? Same motor but none of the cool stuff like the direct squirt oil passages in the cylinders and no intercooler. hmphh...

Yeah I thought the same too then I did some more digging into and realized its like just bc same engine...the kit won't work due to placement of different things, etc.

Won't work. Only device you can use is HP Tuners...you can copy it but HP Tuners can't read the computer you're trying to copy the information to unless it's an SS/SC.
