ha ha --that was a polite answer for I don't know! Dealers are generally very stupid--I usually know more then they do.
I honestly see no reason for GM to make a S/C for the 2.2L.
It would cost alot of time, money and resources that could be better spnet elsewhere.
If you want high performance Cobalt---go SS/SC. If you can't swing that then go 2.4L SS. Or the aftermarket.

Your completely misreading my post. I never said I hate the 2.2L or don't like it. I never said it did not have potential. So please--quit putting words in my mouth.
The 2.2L was the first ecotec--hence proably why the RACE engines put out so much power.
But from a business case I don't see GM developing a supercharger for the 2.2L.
Durability and warranty issues have to be dealt with. It has to be emission legal. And the biggest question of all---can they sell enough to recoup all these development costs? GM does not have infinite resources and money to do everything you would like.

they have an ss s/c and a na ss so i doubt they would come up w/ a s/c just for the 2.2 eco. As much as id like to see one made for our cars i doubt it will happen.
they only made the s/c for the cavalier/sunfire because they didnt have higher performance sport compact cars like the gto and the ss s/c .
thats my .02 cents and im sticking to it.

If you check in the ecotec build book for a 05 base cobalt,they use a gm supercharger using a gm number 17800003
this number work in the gm system(Im trying it right now) and it wort 5300$ canadian
now is the number in the built book give the right package or not,but im 100% sure of that number and its for a supercharger package
hope I can help with that

^^^ that's the one I was speaking of in another thread, thanks dude
not everyone wants to be the same. some perfer the road less traveled. it's not exactly impossible to have a base Cobalt perform like a SS/SC, just takes some work, and more often then not will be less overall cost.

get the cavalier kit , as it will bolt to the 2.2 cobalt , since the motor is the same
sell the parts that arent needed , tb adaptor , cruise cable
use your stock tb on the ens of the s/c , and have your vin reflashed with the 2.0sc vin
all ya need

1. the SS S/C wasnt available when somebody bough their car (like myself)
2. people cant afford the higher insurence rates for a "sports car".
3. people not be able to afford the payments
4. people might of not been approved for a 22K loan compaired to a 13K loan.
5. people like to do the tuning them selves.
6. people may want to be original
7. people say the ecotec is more of a better building base to start on. (look at half cents project)
8. they may of wanted to go Turbo but now switching to S/C.
theres a few reasons for ya.

I can just imagine how much myself and my parents pay for insurance, car payments and the good old gas bill.

If I went with an SC kit for the 2.2 it would be a centrifugal blower so it'd actually make some power as opposed to what they offer now.
Not worth it IMO...might as well step it up to the SS/SC. Truth be told, if you can't afford SS/SC car payments and insurance how the hell can you afford a SC kit?

some people like myself work mainly during the summer since im a full time college student and wouldnt be able to afford the payments. but yet during the summer i make enough where i could put a s/c on it if i wished to go that route. so hows that sound for an answere for ya.

if you can make between 4-5K in 3 months time and spend every last dime you make for that kit then good for you. but chances are you wont do that and if you do save up for a kit it is going to take you a lengthy amount of time. and being that it is going to take you a while to save up, you may as well make some power from the modifications because I'm seriously willing to bet that for the money, the gains will be disappointing.

I personally wouldnt go the s/c way n e who. but i could get it in 2 months tops for i get aprox.2400 a month. (working for the goverment has its perks : ) . id rather turbo personally. but my goals as of now if i move out this summer im staying w/ my car but if i dont then if i can find a used ss s/c. ill prolly be going that way since ill be home during school and can work then. and ill have a semester off from school between transfering as well to work. so only time can tell.

not bad at all. jsut as much hp the hanh will prolly be producing w/ their 3500-4k turbo kit. also at gmpartsdirect that supercharger kit costs 2845. so im guessing that pace place is a better deal then our dealerships for those interested.
