Since the install & tune on this build is coming to an end...thought you RL guys might be interested.
Behold, my 2.2L Supercharged Ion Sedan imp:
The initial teardown, getting all the old stuff outta the way...
FASTL61 holding the blower...
After ripping all the old shit outta the way, threw the IM on.
During the build we ran into a setback (one of a few but this was the most significant). The tensioner pulley would not fit with the stock motor mount. So, it needed to be modified :mofo:
After 2 days of grinding away we were able to make it work. Safest bet to overcome this problem though is to just run an 06+ Cobalt engine mount and lower bracket. I will be picking that up soon for myself...
After that was squared away, test fitting the blower...
Then the heat exhanger install. Hangs a little low but I bought it with the brackets already mounted. It will do for now...
Fast forward to a couple days later and you have the (almost) finished product
And of course a vid of the car in action...
Car is not 100% tuned yet but is getting there. I think 1 or 2 more revised tunes and I should be good to go.
P.S. - Don't make fun of my driver mod lol :boohoo:
