S/C's create a lot of heat too! Thats one of the issues with the Cobalt SS's. Nobody is sure wether or not you'll be able to put a S/C pulley on it to increase boost or not cause a lot of folks think that it'll just create excessive amounts of heat!
Hey all you 2.2L Cobalt owners! Here's somethin for ya: a shiny new S/C!!!
Check this out. RSM Racing ALREADY has a supercharger setup for the 2.2L Cobalts. Doesn't surprise me though, they probably just modified the Cavy's S/C setup. 60hp increase claim. That will be right on target w/ the SS's hp! I think it would be cool! Here's a link:
RSM Racing S/C for 2.2L Cobalts
They also already have brake, suspension, carbon hood and trunk, and other upgrades as well.
Also look for a stage 2 to come out soon they generally claim around an 85hp increase on their stage 2's! That would be on par w/ an SRT-4!!!

Yeah true it might just do that but not as much as a turbo. A turbo produces so much heat.CoBIZZLE said:S/C's create a lot of heat too! Thats one of the issues with the Cobalt SS's.

The supercharger shown on that website is a centrifugal supercharger, well known for very high rpm powerbands. That type of supercharger provides a narrow powerband unlike the roots type blower thats on the SS.CoBIZZLE said:Check this out. RSM Racing ALREADY has a supercharger setup for the 2.2L Cobalts.

Overall, I applaud their efforts, just wish they would have used a roots type blower instead for a more useable powerband for the street.
I bought my base model SS for 20k plus tax, title, liscence, etc.CoBIZZLE said:It would be cheaper too. A regular Cobalt would run around $17K and the S/C is around $3K so thats a good $3K less than an SS! Then you would still have room for other mods.
So, unless someone bought a Cobalt really cheap, and then had some money leftover, I dont think its a fair comparison. Theres a huge difference in computer programming, engine build quality and components, etc between a factory forced induction motor (SS) and a non forced induction motor (ls, lt cobalts)
Yeah that is why i am iffy about it i dont know about the other Cobalt's if they will handle the extra power. I am worried it would hurt the car.Modernceo said:I bought my base model SS for 20k plus tax, title, liscence, etc.

No they would handle it as long as you built it to handle it. And as far as RSMs s/c's Im pretty sure they run all of them on stock internals. We were just discussing the cost effectiveness. Buyin one that is already s/c'ed vs. buying a NA one and blowin it.
