So i was thinking about dropping a supercharge in my 07 LS 2.0 Liter, just for shiggles. all my other friends are driving performance cars and im tired of being "the slow guy" ive found a couple of bolt up kits that were made for the cobalt SS that will fit my engine, thoughts?:cool:

I would consider a whipple charger for my 3.6 as well if they would make one.

Good question, to start with you might want to shoot an email to the kit's manufacturer to see if it would work on the engine. If they say its a go then you might be able to throw it tin there with some type of modification, since it truly won't be a bolt on kit (for your car anyways). Good luck.

how about installing a cobalt SS engine?

I would double check to make sure that the Cobalt one will work on your and if so,
I would go for it.

Sounds like a great idea !!!

The kit may fit your engine but will the re-flash of the PCM work on your car. If its made for a different car then it will not and you will be sol unless you can find a way to tune it.

Do you have any other engine mods besides the possible supercharger?

Just a curiosity,

But I read something on another Forum about a Dual Intake. I wonder if that would be possible on our Bu's. It would require relocation of the windshield washer reservoir, get another intake horn, or some other setup.

Would air induction benefit from such a setup?

Who ever was talking about that is a freaking moron. Dual intakes would only disrupt the air flow and cause more problems. Plus it would look retarded.

Not true at all. Many cars have/had dual intakes. Including many high end cars. It can look cool as hell too having the two intake tubes coming up. The first Ram Air that was used ever on the '68 Olds Cutlass Ram Rod did as well. Most new cars that use two intakes have two throttle bodies, but the more air you get in the better, period. On my Camaro I have the factory ram air hood, plus a SLP under the car ram air too. There is a similar kit out for Vette and Mustangs too. The more air, the better. As long as it's cool air.

Interesting, It just seems like dual to one throttle body would kill the air swirl so to speak. Having two swirls hitting each other would in theory cancel each other out making it less efficient. On a dual throttle body it makes sense and a bigger engine that is producing enough power to demand the more air.

Well if there aren't dual throttle bodies it would be best to have a guide plane or something to smooth/direct the air right before it hits the throttle body. OEM ones have this, would a backyard set-up, doubtful.

The parts to supercharge any Ecotec 4-cylinder can be obtained relatively easily these days. There are enough totalled LSJ Cobalt SS sitting in junk yards to make it possible. I've seen the parts swapped over to other Cobalts as well as 2.4 HHRs... it's not all that hard to do, the real problem is programming the ECU to know what is going on.

Dual intake's are a very nice then when done well...

The SHO only has one though.

And we're talking about air intakes....;)

That is my air intake. Two seperate length runners. The longer ones are used at low rpm, the butterfly vavles open, and now I have a short set tuned better for higher rpm. I get 30 mpg on the highway. A lot of cars have similar intakes after Yamaha did the SHO. :)

If you only have a single intake, I would imagine just a good bit of time with a dremel and a burr bit would help the intake on a 'Bu.. :) Maybe send them to EH to get them smoothed over afterwards

That is my air intake.



The pic is showing your intake manifold and a single air box....

We were talking about cars with two air intakes, as in two air boxes FYI. ;)

And here we come up to the difference between two intakes and two intake runners. Two completely different things.

It would be different to see a Malibu with a supercharger.
