Nice, maybe you should stick the before and after dyno up there just for reminders.

Awesome!!!

But, will you guys have a place for a BOV???? Where would it go if it's not on the charge piping?

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..

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?

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

yeah that's why I just left mine on. about having it in the 12's with stock turbo, that isnt going to happen :nono:. I'll be doing a GT3076R turbo swap :guns:

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!

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
