*VIDEO* of the supercharged cavalier
Current setup:
2.2 Ecotec Intercooled and supercharged M62 Lower engine mount Warm air intake Suspension and a short shifter Exhaust is stock and boost is currently hitting upto 10 psi Been to the track once since the bash with a little better tune, pulled off a 14.5@98 Anyways onto the video, please right click and save as http://www.airtonics.com/cavalier/Jons_vids.WMV yes the whoosh going by is my exhaust note, sounds like a Jet from what I'm told. I need to upgrade that! The other cavalier/cam car runs a 15.4@89 if I remember correctly |
Re: *VIDEO* of the supercharged cavalier
that's the cavi you had purchased in the past that you showed us? if it is that's awesome lol... sounds great.. how do you like supercharger compared to turbo.

Re: *VIDEO* of the supercharged cavalier

Re: *VIDEO* of the supercharged cavalier
Yep, car started off like this when I bought it about a year ago...
http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0RgDvA...88798919632757 Currently it looks like this: http://www.airtonics.com/pictures/bl...whitecavys.jpg The white cavalier is my girlfriends... As for the vids, I'd like to get some daytime ones but I don't own a camera. This was one of the rare times I was around someone who had one. Boost is boost, I enjoyed both the turbo and this supercharger. Both have their pro's and con's though. I really miss the sound of the BOV and the turbo spool although the supercharger whine is very cool. The supercharger works great for autoX'ing which I do quite often. The throttle responce is instant which is exactly what I need. It lacks the upgradeability of a turbo setup but I'm very content, this car is exactly what I wanted it to be. |

Re: *VIDEO* of the supercharged cavalier
that ---- sounds ------- sick >:D

Re: *VIDEO* of the supercharged cavalier
the s/c sounds cool... but were those full throttle????
i know in my integra i cuoldnt get on it in any gear including 5th in the rain or the tire would spin |
Re: *VIDEO* of the supercharged cavalier
Random,
Yes they are at full throttle.... I do lose traction for a second in the wet even in third but the wheels/tires help a lot on this car.... 17x7.5" wheel with 225/45/17 Falken Azenis sports (these tires are wonderful on the street). Also keep in mind that my power curve is more linear than yours. With most of your turbo setups you have no power till the turbo spools then it's all at once. Where mine changes whatever rpm/throttle I'm at and not all harsh and at once. Once I open this exhaust up it will help a lot... 1 7/8's with a cat & restrive muffler, and resonator just isn't cutting it. |

Re: *VIDEO* of the supercharged cavalier
What kind of power were you putting down with that setup?
I'm probably only around 215-220 whp right now. The m62 won't put out as much cfm as a turbo so 10 psi won't yield as much power as 10 psi on yours. With an integra I would assume you started with more hp than my cavy did as well. Like I said I'm still anxious to see how much the exhaust helps. Also considering a smaller pulley to bump it up to 15 psi and some water injection. Maybe in a few months if I have the money... |

Maybe in a few months if I have the money... i made 225hp 240ft-lbs @ 10psi the power peaked at 5k rpm the b18b started at 140horse 127ftlbs at the crank i believe. |
Re: *VIDEO* of the supercharged cavalier
I realize you're not, I'm trying to figure out the reasons as well.... Maybe it's just my tires, I will admit they grip exceptionally well I use them for autoX.
I dynoed 140whp nearly stock on my car and I should be around 220 now (I can only assume) I suppose I"m not sure, maybe our gearing is different, maybe it's the tires.... I really can't say but they don't break loose all that easily and I never had my old rsa's or kumho's on the car after the S/C was installed. I'd rather it not spin anyways ;) Don't really go anwhere even though it's fun to do. |
Re: *VIDEO* of the supercharged cavalier
Nice Jon. My walbro just ---- the bed but I should be good to go this week after I put my replacement in

Re: *VIDEO* of the supercharged cavalier
10psi and 14.5's?
come on Jon, ditch that whining little bitch and get something that rips ;) |
Re: *VIDEO* of the supercharged cavalier
supercharged cavy in ohio ran a 15.4, just couldnt do ---- with it

Re: *VIDEO* of the supercharged cavalier
dood, just so you know, you check engine light is on.
cool car, good video too, i wish more people knew how to film like that. |
Re: *VIDEO* of the supercharged cavalier
Nice vid. If you ever get the chance I'd like to see this thing in the daylight with no rain :P

Wait till I get the exhaust done and a few other small things I have in mind (hopefully before winter comes). I'm shooting for mid 13's Glad you guys enjoyed. I just ordered a cam of my own and a chasecam mount setup. I'll be recoding all my AutoX events. Hopefully this sunday I'll have all that stuff and be able to record the event that day :) |
