So for some reason i had a dream last night that I supercharged my 2.2, now i have never had this type of idea before because i've never seen a s/c as efficient as a t/c. Never the less I've always thought of staying N/A. however the more i thought about it the more i saw it as a good thing for me and my situation.

For one, it is cheap. Two, i don't need a new exhaust mani or d/p if i were to turbocharge it. 3 i'm not looking to make massive power because its a DD. Besides this is why i have the .:R32

So now i started researching of what i need and PM'd a few people and i think i might just do this. I have a nitrous setup in my car right now which I'm still contemplating on what i'm going to do with it.

Now my biggest thing thus far is trying to sort out a few things here and there. so may be some can help me out. I haven't found a "complete list' of whats needed for the 2.2l, only the 2.4l. now so far i have:

1. the actual m62 sc
2. LSJ mani
3. heat exchanger
4. LSJ TB
5. intake piping
6. tuning
7. injectors
8. LSJ oil pan (optional, but recommended)
9. dampener
10. alternator bracket
11. idler pulley

Now i haven't gotten an answer from everyone i PM'd so i also had a few small questions. I know that if i get the harness and injectors from and 2005 ss/sc it will be a plug & play since i have a 2005. Now i've also read that the stock pulley doesn't fit the OEM serpentine belt. are these true?

My other questions are is are there any other things for safety that i should look at? Of course i know of gauges such as boost and AFR. Lastly, i've noticed there is a missing relay and fuse in my fuse panel for aftercooler. Now, i assume this is for the ss/sc models but i can I enable this or get this to work somehow (like wire up so it runs almost OEM)? My only thought is that the ECM might have to be changed/tuned for this feature but may be someone can pitch in. Also what baout controlling boost? is there a way to swap the 2.0's bypass valve or would i have to put a manual controller?

Lastly im thinking of keeping my nitrous kit in to add a SMALL shot like 25 or 35. i know its not much but it should lower my IAT. right? Now as far as tuning what do the ss/sc owners do for tuning with nitrous because i know that timing needs to be retarded as oppose to tuning for just supercharging. Now, like i stated before i'm not looking for massive power or even pushing the motors to its limits/ getting the most power i can with the supercharger for that matter. I would like about 200-210WHP with just the supercharger and then maybe the small shot of nitrous.

If i do this i will take many pics and vids i promise. As long as i get all my question answered and research down it should be a go. Well, also once i sell my stuff so i can have extra cash.

Also if/when i do this i will have my 2.4 throttle body, 2.4 intake mani and injen cold air intake for sale. So look out all you 2.2 guys that want to upgrade.

i would be interested on your mani how many miles does it have on it?

there have been ppl who have attempted the m62 build on a 2.2. i dont know of any that actually finished it and have had their car running good afterwords though. hopefully now that there is some type of tune available, u'll have better luck than the others. i think that is your biggest obstacle. the other stuff is just getting your hands on all the parts needed and actually putting it together. its all possible, but like i said, the tune is your biggest obstacle.

dude you can buy my kit man it was off a 2.2...

baggelis

an sc kit?

lil_kano

Not much. probably like 3000 the most.

yeah there are like two people have done it. yellowshobalt did it with out a tune for like 5months and stil running. he says hes tuned now and fine.

Yeah your asking way too much though. I have someone who im talking to whose doing all that for under $800...

kburgess04

need intercooler end plate, bypass valve i believe its called, belt, and best of all after market clutch cause i cant imagine a stock 2.2 clutch will have enough holding capacity.. but good luck itll be interesting

lil_kano

lol. im an auto. It was my first car; had no choice even though i already knew how to drive a manual tranny.

but yeah im getting the stock HE and pump. the SC im getting is coming with the stock bypass valve and belt. pretty much its gona come with all componenets on the actual SC im just trying to make sure i haev everything.

darkhulk12

dawg.. i got everything done.. EVERYTHING FOR LIKE 2 grand that includes labor, the supercharger... and extra parts.. blah blah.. well 2300 cuz i bought the injen intake

lil_kano

yeah you were the other person that did it but you have an 07 and can tuen with the ls2edit or whatever its called. can you take pics of the pulley? do you know what was changed/used? thanks.

im doing it myself though. so that should be way less.

the alternator bracket from a 2.0 will not help unless you use the 2.0 alternator as well. Trust me, I found out the hard way. Im using the idler bracket from RAWs 2.4 kit. Should arrive in a couple days.

lil_kano

Awsome. thanks for that info.

there is someone on the site who has the parts and does the tune for either 2500 or 3k installed and tuned

lil_kano

yeah im definitely not paying that much. i can do it myself for well under $1k.

baggelis

let me know if you wanna sell that 2.4mani im definetely interested

just buy my car... itll have a better suspension, be a better DD, and be alot faster then a SC 2.2l..

lil_kano

lol. im not looking into another car; already got two. I already have a nice suspension setup and getting better. and i would be happy with a sc 2.2 as my dd because like i stated before im not looking for massive power. lastly your WAY too far away for me to even consider.

Thanks for the offer though.

got two people already looking at it. i'll keep you in mind though.

he would actually probably be on par with yours if all you have is STGII and dual-pass like ur sig says. You have a LSJ with a 3" pulley, whereas we would have an LSJ stroked to 2.2l and 10.0:1 CR. They'd probably even out....yours might still be a bit faster, but i guarantee a SCed 2.2 is gonna be faster than a stock LSJ.

stock lsj vs s/c 2.2, the 2.2 will have the advantage, lighter wheel, less weight, more power, etc...but a stg2 might be another story, but at the same time throw that stg2 on the 2.2 and it still has the advantage its no until later in the 250+ area thet a stock 2.2 engine would begin to lose, cuz i know i would push my 2.2 past the point of a stg 2

im not leaving a 3.4" pulley unless i get rods and pistons...i promised myself that. i might get cams, free's up the breathing opposed to smaller pulleys making hotter air to blow sooner. Also, i give myself permission to run any and all cooling mods as long as i dont retune and advance timing. they can only help the engine last longer... im trying to get very close to 250hp, without breaking 250hp (especially if it involved overspinning the blower) unless i build the engine
