#COBALT SS SUPERCHARGED UPGRADE#
#COBALT SS SUPERCHARGED SERIES#

The first out of the gate was the 205-horsepower Supercharged Coupe. The Cobalt SS badge actually graced three very different cars. Even if few Cobalt buyers understood its history, the Super Sport name carried some historical weight.

Chevy entered that ring by giving the Cobalt a youthful kick, creating a series of enthusiast-targeted models under the Cobalt SS nameplate. Other manufacturers were already offering sporty variants of their compacts–cars like the Sentra SE-R, Civic Si, Neon SRT-4, SVT Focus, and even the Evo and WRX. While it was a good start, what the Cobalt really needed was a dose of excitement. In the “minuses” column, the Cobalt’s bland styling was panned, and the interior design and materials were stuck firmly in the Old GM world of cost-cutting and (lack of) product design. Initial reviews were promising: Here was a car that could possibly compete on equal footing with imported compacts. It wasn’t a bad engine, though perhaps it wasn’t as technologically advanced as some competitors’ powerplants. The base 2.2-liter Ecotec carried over from the Cavalier.

Like the outgoing car, the Cobalt came in coupe and sedan form, although a convertible was not offered. It was also the basis of the promising Saturn Ion. This was an all-new design to replace the aging Cavalier, endowed with a bit of international DNA: It shared a platform with Holden, Vauxhall and Opel. When the bowtie brand unveiled the new Delta-platform Cobalt for 2005, reviewers were understandably cautious. Sure, there were a few half-hearted attempts at making a Cavalier that was also fun to drive, but there were a lot more flops than successes. For more than 20 years, the nameplate graced ever more downmarket cars as its technology and styling failed to keep up. It requires the following parts from the Stage 2 kit: high-flow fuel injectors, pulley adapter hub, and serpentine belt.For most consumers, Chevy’s Cavalier was a totally forgettable denizen of rental car fleets and subprime borrowers.

This kit is an upgrade to the Stage 2 Kit. The vehicle's air conditioning is disabled by the Stage 3 PCM. The Stage 3 upgrades are meant for off-road use only and are not certified to be emissions legal. The Stage 3 Kit is for off-road use only. The PCM will automatically provide the proper spark and fuel for Nitrous up to 500 rpm below the current selected rev limit when the trigger is activated. This PCM is also equipped with a control scheme for the equivalent of a 50-horse shot of Nitrous. Pressing the throttle further will adjust the rev limit in 250 rpm increments. At about 50% throttle the tachometer will show the current rev limit. The rev limit is adjusted by pressing on the throttle pedal with the ignition on and engine off. This PCM is equipped with a user adjustable rev limit from 6750 to 8000 rpm.

For best power, we recommend also installing a high-flow exhaust. In addition to the power increase, you'll also get an adjustable rev limiter and calibration for a 50 shot of nitrous (nitrous kit not included). Stage 3 takes horsepower output to 248 hp on 93 octane fuel and to 260 hp on 100 octane fuel. Our Stage 3 kit will take your supercharged Ecotec 2.0L engine to a whole new level of performance.
