Darkmanx 09-05-2008, 11:18 AM Nice, maybe you should stick the before and after dyno up there just for reminders.
JPizzle 09-05-2008, 11:21 AM Awesome!!!
But, will you guys have a place for a BOV???? Where would it go if it's not on the charge piping?
ls1fbody 09-05-2008, 11:31 AM th re-circ valve is part of the turbo hosing i believe, so no BOV, but man that looks sexy in the engine bay. a reflection of the true monster within..
stage2 09-05-2008, 11:35 AM how is this supposed to give any hp?
this is just a replacement so that u can run ur car hard without braking ugly azz stock shit
ls1fbody 09-05-2008, 11:40 AM not so much HP, as smoother better airflow, as well as louder turbo. plus its a lot tougher than the oem plastic.
i don't know much about turbo's but the turbo guys should be all over this, where's steddy?
PimpLay2 09-05-2008, 12:02 PM count me in..

PimpLay2 09-05-2008, 12:06 PM how hard is it to hook up charge piping?
mkulrey13 09-05-2008, 12:08 PM too bad this wot fit a 2.2L i'd love black pipes!
SynapseTurbo 09-05-2008, 01:06 PM The kit is pretty easy to install, taking off the bumper is the hardest part of the install, which really isn't to bad.
Ferretts 09-05-2008, 05:58 PM Put me in too
SynapseTurbo 09-06-2008, 09:24 AM Put me in too
Great, and remember this will be compatible with our upgraded intercooler kit as well.
crazybrew609 09-06-2008, 09:56 AM early morning bump for morgan and the guys over at synapse... great company thats been doing a TON of turbo hondas locally for year.. there stuff is TOP OF THE LINE grade stuff and worth the money:twothumbs
PimpLay2 09-06-2008, 12:37 PM yea we need others
originaladrian 09-06-2008, 12:41 PM whats with the plastic bag in the engine?
Bandit1 09-06-2008, 01:46 PM Thinkin about this.Pretty nice looking kit.I just feel a little peturbed that they could try and mess with my warantee over throwing something like this on,yet the stock setup is problematic already!What's the total time factor for swapping?
Red07SSNA 09-06-2008, 01:50 PM whats with the plastic bag in the engine?
Considering the car doesn't have it's bumper on I'd bet the bag is holding attaching hardware -screws, clips, etc.:lol:
Your tube kit looks a lot better than the stock plastice tubing!:twothumbs

INDColtsFan18 09-06-2008, 03:18 PM get it in red powdercoat, that would be sick.
titaniumss 09-06-2008, 06:06 PM What will your upgraded IC approximately cost? I may be in for this if it's feasible to buy both. It just doesn't make sense for me to buy this and not buy the IC also (when it comes out) lol.

and have to take off the bumper again...
elecblue06 09-07-2008, 12:19 AM and have to take off the bumper again...
or just wait to install both:guns:
PimpLay2 09-07-2008, 01:52 PM uhh maybe you should put this thread in the supporting vendors group purchases and more people will see it... idk just my 2 cents
2008CobaltSSTURBO 09-07-2008, 02:34 PM So what is the advantage of putting this on???
BlueSS-supercharged 09-07-2008, 02:38 PM too bad this wot fit a 2.2L i'd love black pipes!
lol well
id be all over this if i had a ss/tc and should be one of the first mods for any one who does have a turbo car with the stock plastic carge pipes. plastic flexs. metal doesnt (as much)
PimpLay2 09-07-2008, 03:05 PM So what is the advantage of putting this on???
looks way better... dont have to worry about the clamps coming off and ure car throwing codes... and gain in HP look at dyno sheet
BlueSS-supercharged 09-07-2008, 03:12 PM smoother flow of air. less restrictive in some sports. its like changing an airbox to an intake. or a stock ss/sc intake to an injen. the OEM is fine but if you want to make any real power or even to do some mods you need an upgraded one
brett3tiger 09-07-2008, 03:20 PM I want these pipes, but I want an inercooler upgrade too. I would rather do it all at once, Let us know, Synapse, if you have anintercooler upgrade, I would go in on the group buy.
2008CobaltSSTURBO 09-07-2008, 04:46 PM The pipe runs from the turbo to the intercooler correct

Great, your on the list. We are releasing our intercooler kit in a few weeks, we are waiting for a large order of garrett cores, once we recieve them we will release the kit, we don't want you guys to have to wait for any of your orders.
Thanks Morgan
08BlackSS/TC 09-07-2008, 07:39 PM :) come on damnit we need 7 more
Hey Pimp, I just made a custom intake, check it out. Makes the turbo sound 100 times better!

blackSS09CA 09-07-2008, 09:33 PM now will this fit on the 09ss/tc....i really dont see why it wouldnt but if it does go ahead and count me in for a black powdercoat....
titaniumss 09-07-2008, 10:15 PM or just wait to install both:guns:
Exactly. That's why I'm waiting for the intercooler to come out first and see what the gains are and how much they would cost. Maybe a group buy on a package deal? Piping and IC? :-D (just wishful thinking)
hiltu 09-07-2008, 10:44 PM I'll take this up, powder coated black
PimpLay2 09-07-2008, 10:46 PM good man!!!!! we need more

SynapseTurbo 09-08-2008, 09:16 PM The piping kit will be available in black and polished only for the group buy. Unfortunately no red powder coating at this time.
They will be ready to ship out the week of the sept. 22 assuming we get 10 orders. Once 10 people commit, then we will be taking payment.
Thanks Morgan

So the groupbuy is a done deal, if others would like to get on board we will continue the groupbuy until the end of next week.
Thank you everyone, we are hard at work on these and will have some pics for you guys of the polished pipes and our intercooler very soon.
brett3tiger 09-13-2008, 11:03 AM If your Intercooler is Ready, What kind of Deal can you give those of us that want to buy that as well as the piping?
PimpLay2 09-13-2008, 02:31 PM ^^ i want to see the intercooler.... im not goin to get intercooler until tuning.. no1 wants to f-in tune me in my area its gay
Super_SS 09-13-2008, 02:34 PM thats a good price for all the pipes needed for the intercooler...the neon doesnt even have half of that pipe and costs 300 bux..also better turbo effiency and smoother power deleivery
Bandit1 09-13-2008, 03:53 PM My question about install time was not answered.I want to know how easily reversible it is?I thought i saw something about the bumper having to come off?
My other thought was about the gains made from it.Was this tested for any length of time to see if the pcm would try to negate the gains?The chart looks pretty nice to me and just this should wake up the car a bit...

The install will take about an hour to hour and a half depending on who is doing it. We had the charge piping on our car for 2000 miles and have not seen a reduction in power.
Pics of the intercooler will be here this week. I think you guys will like it! As far as the intercooler, it is a garret 600hp core with our custom endtanks on it featuring backdoor entry and exit. We can sell it to those that did the charge piping group buy for $450 shipped. This is the only intercooler you will ever have to buy and you won't out grow it I gaurentee.

an aftermarket intercooler will produce "cooler" air than stock, even though stock might look like its enough.
monitoring it on HPT is the best way you'll find out, when IAT2 is close to ambient temp, you're golden :cssNET:

how much cooler is what im saying im not paying 450 for an intercooler that lowers my IAT2's 5degrees

A company isn't going to waste time/money on making a product if it doesn't out-perform the stock component. :nono:
SportredSS 09-16-2008, 10:38 PM You must not read or pay attention very well. From 09-05-08' page 1 there's already 11 pre-orders on the list. This will give a few hp, which is nothing really.
We need a way to get the engine running cooler without meth or Co2. I swapped in a 180* stat in my SRT4 Neo and it stayed cooler more often, no retune or anything.
I got a 180* stat for the SS\TC but can't find the h2o pump to engine or even the radiator cap on this damn thing.

brett3tiger 09-17-2008, 11:24 AM Im not so much worried about huge HP gains out of the intercooler just yet, it will be nice to have. I'm getting the IC setup, Downpipe, Someone's C/B, just don't know who, CAI, Short Shifter, and I'm lowering it. After I put it all on, to the Dyno. So really I am just getting the parts I want and Need now, at the best prices I can get. I want my car in the mid to low 12's on good tires with the stock turbo. I don't want to go crazy cause it is my D/D for now. Maybe once I get a reliable beater, I'll go turbo swap, but I'm good with a sub-13 car, cause around here, nobody will see it coming, only going :guns:
Plus, my stock I/C has a really decent sized rock chip in it, the day I took that gay plastic thing off from in front of the I/C, I got stock behind a Dump Truck in traffic, and Bam, I heard it happen, and the its a big ass dent.

ahahahahaha oh shit my bad morgan
08BlackSS/TC 09-17-2008, 11:20 PM Yes i believe they have hit 12's
Hahn has hit low 13's, he's still trying to get high 11's or low 12's after he's all set and done with the stock MOTOR, not turbo
As many of you know, Hahn RaceCraft has led the way with turbocharged Ecotecs since their emergence in the US with the 2002 Cavalier and Sunfire. Along the way, we've raised the bar repeatedly for Ecotec Turbo performance, while introducing hundreds of Ecotec owners to the sublime advantages of Turbocharged Power. Our very first Eco-effort won the prestigious GM Design Award at SEMA, an impressive 12-second, stock engine EcoCav show car that ran 12's with our bolt-on TurboSystem. We haven't looked back since, with more records and firsts than all others combined.
We're proud to bring our 20 years of GM FWD Turbo Performance to bear on this exciting new application of the LNF Turbo! We've had a great time with this engine so far in Solstice/Sky and HHR, and now it's the Cobalt's turn.
Products we'll offer include:
Our popular 3" Stainless Steel exhaust system, prized for its sound, valued for its HP
PPC Tuner
Intercooler Upgrade
Piping Upgrades
S20G Turbo Upgrade
....and much more!
The goal? High 11's on radials, stock engine, just like we did with our SRT-4. This is going to be fun!

SynapseTurbo 09-18-2008, 09:47 AM So whats done to the cobalt that you dynoed 275/360?
We had our charge piping kit, our downpipe, 22psi and a tune using HP Tuners.
PimpLay2 09-18-2008, 09:50 AM We had our charge piping kit, our downpipe, 22psi and a tune using HP Tuners.
Well I have downpipe....I ordered charge pipe.... and im getting a tune this week...
im hoping to get around 300hp but 360lbs of torque?
damn thats alot I hope I can get that much lol
im guessing you did a custom dyno tune?
SynapseTurbo 09-18-2008, 02:10 PM http://www.synapseturbo.com/gallery/cache/ef751f8c48742558f1813c33eb9463d65c9ffeb4_800.jpg
PimpLay2 09-18-2008, 02:12 PM does the group buy still come with the BLACK powdercoated charge piping?
Edubs 09-18-2008, 02:13 PM I'm pretty sure you have a choice of either black or polished. It's further back in the thread...
SynapseTurbo 09-18-2008, 02:20 PM does the group buy still come with the BLACK powdercoated charge piping?

That better not be my intercooler your testing Morgan! :lol::lol::lol:
and im getting a tune this week...
Finally getting tuned?
I would say I'm about where Synapse is with their numbers, +/- 10hp/tq, since I'm pushing 22PSI as well.
Was supposed to get dyno'd this weekend but that fell thru :thumbsdow
PimpLay2 09-18-2008, 04:06 PM +10hp? thats more like +30hp... the T.C been dynoing around 240/260
but who cares about the HP look at the torque lol.... 100+ lbs of torque thats INSANE

The hardest part was the pipe going to the intake manifold, what a pain!! :cussing:

We wanted to make the kit with the least amount of couplers as possible, unfortunately it can get a little tight on that side.
08BlackSS/TC 10-05-2008, 08:26 PM the finished product though is definitely worth it, I love the look :twothumbs
can't wait till I swap the turbo...this one has reached its limit
PimpLay2 10-05-2008, 10:39 PM got mine on today 2... post pics later... u all rdy seen it probably no point
steddy2112 10-05-2008, 10:41 PM Is it possible to put the piping on without taking the front bumper cover off?
Like say, remove the fender wells?
08BlackSS/TC 10-05-2008, 10:56 PM Is it possible to put the piping on without taking the front bumper cover off?
Like say, remove the fender wells?
yes its possible but it may take you twice as long...better to just take the bumper off...you have more room to work with then too :)
SynapseTurbo 10-05-2008, 10:58 PM Yes, by pulling the inner fenders wells back you can install the charge piping without taking the bumper off. Just be patient with it and you will beable to do it.

Does anyone get a whistling sound at full throttle above 10 lbs? Is that the sound the pipes make or could i have a leak somewhere?

must be a leak...did you double check to make sure all your connections are tight and that the recir hose is seated properly?
SynapseTurbo 10-21-2008, 09:37 PM must be a leak...did you double check to make sure all your connections are tight and that the recir hose is seated properly?
Yeah, I would go over the connections, the polished looks good in the engine bay:twothumbs
