This video goes through my 2007 2.2L Saturn Ion supercharger build. Begins with how the parts are set-up, modifications needed to be made, then a start-up and idle of the build. Finishes off with some street pulls! Hope this helps those who are interested in doing this build.
- Engine Bay Walkthrough: 0:18
- Start-Up and Idle: 4:54
- Driving/Pulls: 7:46
Build specs are as follows:
- ZZP Tuned (HP Tuners unlocked ECM, e-mailed tune file installed)
- 3.1" pulley in this video (I now have a 2.9" making 16psi)
- The 3.1" made just shy of 12psi on my build
- 60# injectors
- LSJ 2.5 bar TMAP sensor used
- LSJ alternator bracket and tensioner
- LSJ idler pulley
- LSJ stock heat exchanger
- LSJ IC pump and IC pump bracket under manifold
- Option B tank (single pass end plate)
- 5 rib LSJ belt (have to cut 1 rib off for L61 crank, alternator, and AC)
- LSJ throttle body (6 pin to 8 pin adapter)
- Custom fabricated Weapon-R CAI (cut-up from a Cobalt SS)
- K&N cone style filter

Love it! CANNOT WAIT TO SUPERCHARGE MY 2002 Saturrrrd VUE 2.2L L61 5-Speed base model! Will be a fun / EVENtually expensive side project hobby! I already have some ZZP performance mods on her. 3 inch chambered Cobalt muffler custom installed cat back.. Cold air intake filter... I plan on this summer HOPEfully in this June get the rest of the Cobalt ZZP exhaust custom installed and exhaust tightened up. 2.5" Cobalt manifold, downpipe and high flow cat from ZZP.

Hey man I love your setup! I did the same thing with my 2006 Cobalt LS with the L61 engine just like yours. I went a bit further and installed forged rods and pistons and threw a TVS supercharger on there but yours is so clean! I don't have any under the hood videos up on youtube yet but I do have some videos of pulls, drag race, and some autocross. L61 FTW

I would love to go forged internals (Eagle rods, wiseco pistons and rings, and ARP head studs, with upgraded valve springs). Would cost so much though, but I could safely go Harrop or turbo at that point. Will see what happens, likely going to stay this way for a while, upgrade the exhaust and doing some appearance mods this year (lowering springs, bigger rims, redline spoiler, new front bumper lip etc.)

Vincent Colussi well so far your setup is very clean. I wish I would have moved the IAT sensor to the manifold like you did. I'm tuned without it but I do have a standalone gauge to monitor it. I also went with meth/water injection to run 91 octane with full ignition timing advance.

Hey man, thanks for throwing this video up! I appreciate your support for the L61 platform despite the limitations of the tune-ability. Just wanted to say that it's definitely a clean setup and looks really nice. I've got a completely stock 2oo4 Saturn Ion for the daily while I work on my project, my 2oo2 Cavalier. I'm in the early stages on the supercharger build and looking forward to getting it all setup. It looks like you're using a M62 supercharger like mine. I was wondering what you did to mount it on the throttle body? Can't wait to see your dyno sheet!
@firehawk97
@firehawk97 7 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the positive feedback, been getting lots of good messages and e-mails from people who are also curious to do this build now! I used the stock LSJ throttle body made for the m62 from a Cobalt SS/Ion Redline. For my engine there is a 6 pin to 8 pin adapter that allows that throttle body to be used on my stock harness. My buddy has a supercharged 2003 Cavalier, m62. He used his stock throttle body, there are adapter plates made for your throttle body to adapt it to an m62 blower. He's going to be upgrading his throttle body on his cavalier to an LS1 throttle body, another company makes an adapter plate for that as well lol. Your cable driven mine is electronic so we have to use completely different throttle set-ups. Will let you know how he manages to get the LS1 tbody to work on the blower. For now, you can get away with your stock throttle body with an adapter plate if you want. Look on JBody forums, may be some for sale. L61 to M62 throttle body adapter is what you're looking for

So basically my car is complete and i had it tuned at a local cobalt performance shop he tuned it using hp tuners. Its only set to hit 10 psi max for reliability since its a stock block and internals. When i drive the car roughly 30 miles or so it tends to have the rpms bounce like crazy till the car stalls or i hit the gas it only happens to it coming to a stop and only happens sometimes i had them check the tune and they said it was fine no cel or anything. Any idea what could be causing this??

Even ZZP got them all wrong and we ended up adding the 60# multipliers and then poof idle was amazing ever since. Send me a DM I can send the excel table.

oDieseLz it's not too hard their manual is detailed if you buy their kit. I pieced all my stuff together but have seen their manual it covers most the bases. Pictures torque specs step by step etc. Their kit doesn't use the LSJ TMAP sensor like my setup does though. Would recommend doing that since you can get that temperature reading after your supercharger compresses the air by wiring the TMAP temp reading wire to your MAF harness temp reading. I went to my local dealer and got the wire diagrams and pin outs for the sensors, easy to set up just take your time.

It's possible in an '04 but there is no pcm tuning ability which means you'd have to use a stand alone fuel system which is both expensive and difficult. His car is an '07 which uses a different PCM that has thning support which makes thing's infinitely easier. It can be done, but you'd be much, much better off selling your car and buying an 07+ or even better just buying a car with an LSJ engine.

As far as tranny work, none is required. The F23 transmission is rock solid,gugs used to run 700 HP through them all day long. Oddly enough it's a much better transmission than the F35 in the stock superchargered cars which break when you look at them wrong.

It's a 2.2L with different gearing to make it more fuel efficient, I don't see why not! Should be the same Gen 2 block that I have in my car that was introduced in 2007. Definitely tunable too by ZZP if you get HP Tuners or know someone who has it and can buy the 2 credits to unlock your car for a remote tune. Also it would be awesomely ironic to make an XFE into an SS and make it as fuel-inefficient as possible haha

Tuned using HP Tuners. ZZP did the tune by e-mailing me a file, I would use the ECM scanning tool to record a log then send it back to ZZP then they would revise and send back a new version.

If it is the same L61 engine then yes it should work. Tuning your ECM will be difficult though as companies like ZZP only support 2007 and up 2.2L tunes (they commonized the ECM with the 2.4L that year). If you can find a tuner first then the supporting mods would be the same on your block (idlers, new belt, grinding that one spot on the block for the LSJ tensioner etc.)

Marcos Martinez I mean theoretically yes, would have to see the engine bay layout but am sure it would be fine since a v6 fit in those. You would need to find a local tuner for your build though. Companies like Zzp and Trifecta only do 07 and above for 2.2L

I used the factory ECM. They are unlocked. You HAVE to tune it to make the engine run correctly with the supercharger and new fuel injectors, and throttle body. This doesn't make it "aftermarket" it is the same computer but adjusted internally. Make sure you're doing this on a 2007+ GM 2.2L. Don't turn off any MIL's, keep your EVAP and all of that in order.

@firehawk97 7 жыл бұрын
Cory Burns use a larger pully. Stock size is 3.4 that would put you in a safe range for boost. in 2008 they used different rods on the L61 motors and they're thinner than the 2007 and previous rods. 2.7 is very aggressive people can easily make 18psi with that. a 3.4 pully on your motor would make around 8 or 9 psi. a 3.1 on my engine made 12psi. My 2.9 makes almost 16psi now that I swapped to that size. Just to give you an idea on the pully sizes on a 2.2L.

@firehawk97 7 жыл бұрын
Cory Burns kind of. Look up the GM performance sport compact build manual. It's a 108 page pdf document. L61 block and crank and bearings are all good to 450hp. If you upgrade to forged internals (do that if you're gonna do all that work... don't go to 2007 or previous non forged ones) with forged rods pistons and new rings you're good to 300hp. upgrade your valve springs, then you're good to 350. Next do head work, cams, change bearings etc. and redo all gaskets if you ever plan to go over the 400hp range. Tranny can handle 300 ish fine. Don't slam shift if you have 250hp or more of you'll rip through your clutch. I'm going to upgrade to zzp flywheel and percormancd clutch kit one day since they make one for the 2.2 and 2.4L

This supercharger is for a 2.2 L61, Ecotec engine. If you don't have this engine, you will need to swap into it which can cost somewhere between $500 and $3500 depending on your knowledge / skill level and parts availability. The m62 kit will be an additional $650 to $3,500 depending on parts availability and skill level. So really it depends on YOU. Between $1,150 and $7,000 or so. **These rough estimates are for educational purposes only. DO NOT misinterpret these numbers as factual nor implied. They are ROUGH ESTIMATES.

Get the Cobalt as whole car, find one thats been rear ended, buy it as a parts car, then peel out and switch everything over, the only thing you will not be using is shell of the car Otherwise all other parts will be used, engine, transmission, ecm, wiring harness, and so on.

If you can, look for the turbo version Cobalt, the turbo factory Cobalt is quicker than the Supercharged factory Cobalt. If you get the turbo Cobalt, upgrade the Turbo, and have the ecm specs adjusted / tuned for the upgraded turbo. Might need to upgrade the clutch too.
