i have a 09 ss i want it to be in the low 400 range, its my daily driver so reliably is a huge factor. i have "(from what i can tell cause i bought the car this way) charge pipes, intake, and some sort of tune i can hit 27psi if i really dig into it, e85 isnt an option by me. iv been looking at direct bolt on turbos but i honestly have no clue what im looking at big blocks are more in my realm. so any help with how to achieve my 400 marker would be greatly appreciated

 

gonna need a bigger turbo, check out ZZP they have a lot of options

 

27 psi? you need to not get on it, and get a good tune

 

i hope ur not telling him to tune his stock turbo to 27 psi, please dont give bad advice if u are, he will blow a ringland .

 

yea im aware its too much boost but i know ill be getting a new tune with the new upgrades so im not worrying about that now and im going easy on it

 

^the OP said his car already boosts to 27psi..

 

no im pretty sure he was telling me thats to high thanks for jumping in incase though

 

Look into the Hahn S20g, ZZP's ZFR, or BNR's Bolt on turbos.

 

i was checking the hahn but theres a long thread on here saying its out dated technology and on pump gas there saying ill only get 350

 

With the right turning, you can hit 400. Yes it's a slightly outdated turbo, and will most likely spool slightly slower than stock, but it'll still be an upgrade from stock, and you can hit 350 whp on the stock turbo pushing it. Talk to Chevycobaltss3 about it, I believe that's what he has.

 

spray the house down

 

Not at all. Was saying the 27 psi he is boosting is too much, and he needs a retune.

i think he made 389 on an 89/91 mix

 

ok ill shoot him a pm. can my car handle 400hp with a better clutch and axles, what else would i need to change

 

I think axles will be fine actually, but yes you will need a new clutch. The rest of the car should be fine. Tranny should be ok as long as you don't beat the hell out of it.

 

I dont think axles are necessary, could be wrong. just clutch and tune, and sticky tires

 

ok awesome, guess my day tomorrow will consist of calling all the different companies seeing what turbo i want

 

I have a 5557 fully spooled around 4k and i make around 440 give or take on 23lbs on e47

 

sorry new to the cobalt world, who makes that and whats e47

 

Oh i didnt read you wanted a direct bolt on before i misread it...Look into the new werks turbo that they have should be good for over 400 and e47 is a mix of e85 and 91 but you dont have e85 im terrible at reading haha

 

zzp or zzp...done...lol

 

i was looking at zzp but 4k for just a turbo i have a 97 powerstroke with 400hp and i didnt even spend that much for everything

and with 5557 what would all need to be change and price area

 

5557 you need basically everthing....charge pipe/manifold/wastegate/oil lines/intercooler/intake/tune..just look into the direct bolts on like zfr/werks/bnr try and snag a efr from zzp if you have the money when they have them at the end of this week

 

the zzp looks good but damn thats alot for just a turbo and ill need a new tune with that so upwards of 3600 for just a bolt on turbo seems up there to me

 

i think its around 2k they said for the turbo with their housing and oil lines and what not needed idk where your getting 3600 from

 

im on zzp right now the turbo is 3k and you need to tune your car for it right ?
