Really sucks, but just do your own thing and get trifecta tuned.

I emailed them.. u guys gotta learn to ask the right questions when u do that btw...

but, they said they are still working on it and the price is 3k INSTALLED and DYNO TUNED!!! they need someone in the area to test fit first. I also sent a message asking wut the price is for those that aren't in the area, and am waiting on that response.

as far as the way parts bolt up, the two cars are identical...anything that bolts on to a 2.4 should bolt on to a 2.2, including turbo kits and blower kits, therefore a lot of the 2.2 guys will be following 2.4 mods

^^ to all... why dont you guys just buy the Hahn stg V? There would be almost no fabrication to make it fit (no pulley delete kit needed), and you can tune via HPTuners, and there you go...your set for +400WHP

If I had the money, thats what I'd do

very 2.4 friendly. Infact the hahn kit for the 2.4 is the garrett kit with a few fuel mods thrown in and a tune. Get the GT tuner kit 60lbs and a tune and there ya go. The other kits are for those wanting only the key componets and do the rest themselves.

well what would be cool it zzp had the twin charge kit for 2.4s lol

averagewhiteboy
10-22-2008, 02:17 PM
Without knowing, I'm assuming you could do that if you bought the s/c conversion as well. Indeed it'd be cool if ZZP sold is fully refurbished package of that stuff, but it'd certainly be costly.. But I'd assume you could piece together a s/c kit and throw the twin-charge set-up on as well..

In other options, has anyone seen the turbo kit for Cobalts on eBay? I usually would never mention something like that, however a turbo kit for under a grand needs to be mentioned. Couldn't you buy that kit and just add a better turbo to it and have an ok set up that could be safe for low-boost? I would never buy a kit like that and expect like 22 psi.. lol.

But how are the turbos on this ZZP kit? Anyone ever use that brand? Or would you be better buying a Garrett blower and adding that on in place?

Brandon97Z
10-22-2008, 02:32 PM
You can't always just swap in turbo's.....there are many different intake/exhasut flange combinations. A twin charge 2.4 is a waste of time and money. Its hard enough haveing one form of FI going on a factory na engine.

Well, as far as the ebay turbo kits, they're good except for the turbo's themselves and maybe the BOV. You get a crappy bov and it sticks, you're gonna pay a lot more money than even the hahn kit.

Do it once and do it right, spend the cash on the turbo and BOV for sure, the rest of the piping/lines/clamps/IC can be ebay items.

averagewhiteboy
10-24-2008, 04:56 AM
So in other words, you could get the eBay kit, but just get a quality BOV and blower? My friend is turbo-ing his B16 CRX, so he has alot of spare shit around.. He even had a cheap-o set-up on his EG coupe that was still pretty sick.. I mean, I really only want low low boost.. Not enough to really worry about blowing anything up.. lol. Is the eBay kit even sized and everything for our car? As in, the tubing and all that? I know that alot of that eBay stuff like that is kinda "one size fits all".. And that's gay.. But if it's reasonable, I may see what I can do.. But also, my 2.4 is an auto.. Will that be OK with a DIY turbo kit? I'd assume so since there are lots of turbo autos, even a distant cousin of the Cobalt, the Saab 9-3 with the 2.0T motor..

Grr. Universal. It says you need the turbo manifold and a downpipe.. Could you get both of those from the Saab 2.0T? Or what other options do you have? Let's say you bought this kit in the link.. What else would you need to make this work? Price ideas on the manifold? Could I use the stock downpipe or is it a different set-up? I have a GMPP catback, and will be replacing the header/dp/cat early next summer.. So everything will have very good flow.. I'm not worrying about making insane power, just a little added scoot.. I'm willing to work with it a bit if it looks promising..?

So you can't use the 9-3 one? I just want to figure all this out because I as gonna replace my header anyway.. So if I am gonna go turbo I'll just get a turbo header obviously instead of a normal one.. Anything else needed for that kit aside from the header?

Here's another one.. This one looks a little better..

The Saab 9-3 turbo header would be fine, but keep in mind that it's a Mitsubishi turbo flange. What I would recommend would be a turbo T3 manifold from zzp (http://www.zzperformance.com/cobalt_ion/products1.php?id=867&catid=155).

It's a bit pricey, but the quality is great and it's a common T3 4 bolt flange. As for the downpipe, most people make their own. Don't worry about the downpipe until you buy your turbo, because you're not going to know what kind of flange you will need until after you've got the turbo picked out. There are many kinds of flanges and you don't want to make a downpipe with one flange, and then find a perfect turbo and it doesn't fit.

After you know your turbo, then you'll know what flange to get (http://www.zzperformance.com/cobalt_ion/products1.php?id=776&catid=155). Take that to your local exhaust shop and they can make you one with that flange and even weld it onto your current exhaust system if you choose not to upgrade to 3" exhaust. (which is recommended) :)

After, you will have to get a universal IC piping kit off ebay and an intercooler, make sure that the inlets and outlets are the same. 2.5" is your best bet, it's small enough to flow air, and yet large enough to support over 400+ hp if you ever decide to take that avenue. Try and get an IC no taller than about 7". Also, keep in mind that you will have to custom do your own brackets to attach it to your frame.

You need a wastegate (if your turbo is externally wastegated) and a blow off valve. Tial is the authority on wastegates/BOV. For the wastegate, 38mm is recommended.

Larger fuel injectors. Most setups use the 42# injectors from the stage 2 kit. This is large enough for what you're looking for. You can go larger to the 60#, but running low boost, I don't think it's at all necessary. Others can correct me if I'm wrong however. You will also have to redo the wiring harness for your injectors in order to accommodate for the SS injectors.

Braided oil lines/fittings, boost controller, turbo timer, vacuum hoses, and fuel pressure/AF ratio/boost gauges are all necessities, but most of that kind of stuff can be found on ebay relatively cheap.

All in all, I recommend you read up on how turbos work, and understand the core components of everything. How it all works, what each part does. Once you get the general idea of it all, you'll know yourself what you need.

The last page is very old, and it mainly discusses integra/honda platforms, but it's a great read and it explains everything in great detail.

Good luck piecing together your kit, but if all else fails, go get the hahn/garrett kit. You'll save time and headaches.

No problem, and keep in mind that what I posted is an oversimplification of everything you need.


Unless you're willing to spend a year or so planning/preparing/learning, you should go with the hahn kit.

You'll get everything in a big box of joy, with instructions and pictures, and more importantly support and a community that has experience with that kit. Plus, trifecta can tune that kit to a T by now.

even if they dont provide tuning with the shipped kits id take a 2.5k kit and get it tuned with hptuners right here at home..even a trifecta tune is wut...275?

this thead is about zzp why u pushin the hahn kit so much? from wut it looks like this one will just needa tune

I haven't heard anything from zzp saying that they are going to ship this kit.

Right now, the only kit ready to ship is the hahn/garrett kit.

It will not be a $2000 kit. Think about it. Add the cost of injectors, IC, turbo, exhaust manifold, downpipe. That doesn't include all the misc hardware or the piping or the programming.

You need to buy the hahnracecraft kit if your looking for quality they know way more about the ecotec engines and they spend alot of r&d in there turbo kits. So my advice go with a hahn kit

Too bad the kit is designed and made by garrett. Hahn just adds tuning, injectors and portfueler.

yea well im trying to find a turbo kit that is not 5k for the kit and prolly another 1k to put on and dyno

here ya go

http://www.atpturbo.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=ATP-COB-001&Category_Code=COB
garrrett kit $2975 w/ optional gt 2871r

http://ottperformance.com/product_info.php?products_id=79
60lb injectors that plug straight into the stock harness. $200

http://www.vividracing.com/catalog/clutch-masters-stage-3-clutch-chevrolet-cobalt-22l-24l-4cyl-0507-p-53787.html
stage 3 clutch $700

Add in tuning and for a lil over 4k you have your self a set-up capable of over 350whp and a clutch that can handle it.

3k for the ZZP kit currently includes everything plus dyno tuning and install. Just show up with your car and 3k and leave ready to go. Once the kits are shipping, we'll redo the pricing and they will be under 3k but I can't say exactly how much yet.

Tranny cooler will help a lot. Keep the boost low because I don't think our trannys will take over 250 TQ reliably. They're built for up to 225, so I imagine they can take at least 250.

Get it rebuilt and the 4T45 can take anything you'll ever be able to throw at it. 400+ hp.

This is good news from ZZP, but I got a question. What kind of warranty is on this turbo?

theyre rated for 325tq, not 225. the 4t45 is a beast in stock form...but you'll still need a tranny cooler

Well, wikipedia is what has it rated for 205 ft/lbs of tq. My guestimation of 225 wasn't far off.

Good thing for us they're full of shit. I'm really happy I won't have to rebuild it...for now anyways. :)

Has anyone acutally driven out and got one of these turbo kits installed?

Something I don't like is that stage 1 and 2 both use 33# injectors.
Only the stg.3 has 39# injectors.

My garrett turbo kit came with 39# injectors and I know that mrsilent13 had tried 34# with his custom turbo kit and they were being maxed out.
