i dont know much about this company but their stage 1 and 2 kits look interesting, any opinions on this compared to the supercharger stage kits?

the part listing is here

 

Hahn has pioneered alot of nice products for cobalts.

Ull make way more power on their turbo kits than you ever can on a staged s/c.....

 

well their stage 1 kit is 1500$, i was wondering if that would produce more power than the mods i have listed below

 

You will need more than just the stage one kit...

 

thats what i was thinking, what else would i need with it?

 

You need everything in the Level V kit, And yes it will make much more power than the mods you have listed

 

ye but its also MUCH more expensive, too bad

 

I mean if you have the knowledge you could piece together a kit and save some money, But its not easy and you will still need most of the stuff in that kit whether you buy it from them or somebody else.

Thing is that kit will make 400whp, Not right out of the box but with a good tune a few tweaks here and there.

There really isnt a cheaper way to make that kinda power

 

ye, i would also need wider tires to handle it, how wide can teh stock rims go?

 

/you wont need wider tires...

 

Stock rims will handle a good size tire, The problem is what will fit in the wheel well. Im running a 225/40, I have seen people run 235's with no issues, And if i remember correctly i think i seen sombody was running 245's with very minimal rubbing when turned all the way to the lock

 

well im not gonna buy that kit, but a 400 whp cobalt wouold need wider than 215's?

 

How do you figure?

I think he knows its not a must have, But he also knows a 350-400hp car is going to need all the grip you can get.

 

so if i buy 235's there should be no problems

 

Shouldnt be... If there is it will be very small like turning the wheel all the way to one side you might hear a little squeak but nothing bad

 

i think ill get 235 summers than and keep my 215 stocks in the back, my front tires were cooked, but the rears are fine. i havent decided which brand, but i need something that will work well with 250+whp

 

lets say i bought the level 5 turbo kit from hahn does hahn have already have there own tune that u can just upload to the PCM or would i have to get my own tuner? Thanks

 

I would go with these, G-force Sport

Or the next step up, KDW's

Level V:

* Cobalt S20G Turbocharger
* Cobalt S20G Turbo Oil Solution
* Cobalt Direct-Mount Turbo Manifold
* Cobalt Quick-Mount V-band Turbo Exhaust Housing and MaxFlow Downpipe System
* Cobalt Turbo Air Intake System
*

Cobalt Front-Mount Intercooler
* Cobalt Charge Air Piping System
* Cobalt Billet Blow-Off Valve System
* Cobalt StreetRace CNC Billet SheetMetal Intake Manifold
* Cobalt Turbo Fuel Injectors/Harness mod/PCM calibration

So in short yes, It includes everything you would need.

 

Thanks

Oh by the way you would also need a new clutch and some drive train mods.

 

this is the first time i hear anything about these tires, have you tried them personally?

 

The G-force sport's is what i run, And many others run KDW's as they are pretty much the best all around street tire your going to find that will last more than 5,000 miles.

The difference is, The KDW's are a softer tire so they grip better but also wear faster, And are a little noisy because of the tread pattern.

No problem,


And yes at some point you would want a clutch, Probably a spec stage 3, Linky and this is really all you would need for the drive train Linky

 

over the summer i drive about 12k-15k. is there anything that will last me that long but still perform?

 

Both those tires i posted should last 20k+ depending on how you drive
