V1 Upgradeable goblin from n/a to supercharged

[Markm]

Hopefully in the next few weeks I’ll be picking up our chassis #496 to get started on. Today’s question for y’all is I’m building the car from a donor L61 f23 and plan on installing the LSD in the F23 and eventually will get another engine to build with the supercharger on it. What would y’all do in preparation to upgrade to supercharging the L61? I’m planning on running extra wiring through the tunnel and possibly the tubing. What else would I need to add on the initial build to make it easier to swap later on?

Definitely the tubing for the heat exchanger. Keep your AC pump to use as an idler

Are you getting a supercharger kit from ZZP or another aftermarket source or are you installing a stock system from a Cobalt? Makes a difference what advice needs to be given.

Stock stuff

Probably bigger fuel injectors and possibly laminova tube seals - if your using a well used SC set up with miles on it (assuming you have the SC intake manifold.

I’ll have to check on those seals. Recommend a good aftermarket replacement on those? I’ve looked somewhat into those

I think ZZP and OTTP sell them. Prefer ZZP for most everything

I can’t keep up with all the ecotec designations but make sure you don’t have an early pcm that isn’t tunable. Or add your donor to your signature so we can check.

It’s an upgradable ecm I have an ‘07. Didn’t think about the signature I’ll look into that. Thanks

you could install a bigger fuel pump so you dont have to go into the tank again later

I was about to post that link too.

This is no lie guys, I’m building the goblin for my wife. My wife has put up with me and my shenanigans for 21 years and has always wanted a convertible mustang so that’s when we discovered the Goblin and after we went to goblinfest she was hooked. That said our goblin will eventually end up supercharged but will still need to be dependable enough for cruising or for her to take to work occasionally. Wideband I’ll probably do but methanol most likely not, I’m not planning on nothing to wild but definitely fun

Just sell of the methanol parts. Or use it to help keep your temps down.
