has anyone thought of an intercooler upgrade from our stock to a not taller one but a lil longer and instead of a 3in to a 3.5in ?

 

Just go for the ZZP front mount heat exchanger...

 

He has the ss/tc not a ss/sc....

 

Yeah this is the LNF thread 2.0L turbo not the LSJ supercharge

 

i thought of it... im waiting for hahn to release their intercooler

 

synapse turbo is releasing one if they already havent... but yea hahn is releasing the and and intercooler pipe kit and an intake I cant wait must...have...now

 

Seriously, do people not know what they're posting in? The heat exchanger is different than an intercooler...I would hope the original poster would know the difference and you wouldn't get the HE mixed up with the intercooler too?!

Back on topic, Hahn has one in the works, if not already on their SS/tc

Also, there should be some others following suit.

 

after reading other posts it would seem as if hahn has their ic done and a certain someone already has it and will be installing it and testing.

 

If the cobalt ic is the same as the one found on the solstice, then dejon and hahn have the ic for you depending how much you wanna spend.

 

SynapseTurbo has IC piping if you want that

 

depending on the service department at your dealership, i'd wait till GM releases stage kits for you. The first few items should be coming out around SEMA time and besides, where u plannin on puttin down more power when the snow starts next month?? The way I see it, GM will likely have some decent stage kits out for the ss/tc by next summer puttin the car to some very fun HP/torque.

 

sneak peak to hahn's upgrade.





more to come in september

 

I think I see a spot for a Blow Off Valve!!!!!!!

 

i hope hahn isnt going to running those worn clamps i would much rather have t-bolt clamps on my intercooler

 

No thats for the tmap sensor.

Ya tell me about it, they're going to slip off with ease once you hit over 20psi. Its better to do it right once than trying to fix it after the ic is installed. Im sure some of the clamps near the ic are a pita to get to.

ohh so pretty

 

Off topic, but... Lloyd, hey?
I'm living there now.... well... in Maidstone.

Have to have a Lloyd Cobalt meet one day.

 

All the clamps are easy to reach, although you do want to get the car on ramps to get to the IC ones. And they're not going anywhere at 20psi as long as you tighten them up a little.

Also, from the runs and logging Steve has done on my car, the stock IC seems pretty damn efficient on anything the stock turbo can throw out. I think money saved for a replacement could be better spent elsewhere.

 

i agree if you look at the front mount it has a nice build too it.. the only thing I will do is tighten the clamps up.. other then that i will keep my stock Intercooler until turbo upgrade... I think I will get the piping though just to make the engine bay look better

and an intake is a MUST HAVE

 

Are you going to have two BOVs? Stock one is integrated on the comp housing.

 

It is efficient but restrictive, and all tube/fine cores have a large pressure drop compared to a bar/plate one.

 

Take a closer look at the lips on the ends of the hardpipes. I don't think those connectors are going anywhere once they are sufficiently tightened.

Quality work.

 

dont need a huge bov, if you want the sound wait for the turbotechracing cai to finish development. turbotech is stating much louder noise with their test systems and synapse turbo already has a 3" catless downpipe im sure the spool and valve release is gonna be sick. cant wait im gonna order the parts in a couple months when hp tuning has figured the computer out. word is no matter what you do torque is limited so best to save up for now. cant wait!!

 

boo on shitty clamps on hahns system preview
