Ive had my eye on the hahn turbo setup for a while and it makes some impressive numbers. I was just wondering if i needed any other supporting mods for the level 5 kit and how reliable the kit is. I dont want my motor blowing up after i shell out 5 grand plus install for the kit.

rico

its less than 5 grands these days brand new. its a good set up i have it and love it

Perfect.disguise

Less than $3K? Cheapest I've heard it go for is $4k shipped new of course.

rico

How much HP do these kits put down? 350-375? Do you have to worry about pistons and sleeves?

rico

yep close to that maybe 400 no one has really tried all that yet i might do so on the full hahn kit with the 20g on e85

Don't you still need more stuff to make the Hahn stage 5 kit even work? Stuff that's not included.....

Hahn stage 5 is everything needed minus a 3" catback and a clutch.

I'd do this(my opinion):

-Hahn stage 4
-80lbs/hr injectors
-Custom tune
-Hahn 3" exhaust
-ACT Clutch

Optional:
-External wastegate (Tial)
-Hallman boost controller


Again, these are just my opinions.

Not for the LSJ. Alternator still needs to be addressed.

Word. Two welding beads. No biggie.

Just piece together your own kit. Mine was a little under $3k for all the turbo parts. I then sold my Supercharger kit for $1000.

There are plenty of people out there doing custom kits now, so any questions could be easily answered.

I'll be piecing mine together over time. Most expensive part is the turbo. But, at least you guys with Cobalts can get charge piping that already fits. Ours is a little different.

What's the general consensus on the alt fan spinning the wrong direction? I'm not saying it will cause issues, but it seems like people would prefer the alt to spin the direction it was designed to.

rico

if i was to do it again. i would piece my own...

all4glh

Which is why most people put on the 2.2 alternator, tensioner and belt right? I would much prefer something like the RAW supercharger delete piece. But, from a company that is a little more on top of things as far as fabrication, customer service, etc.

Yeah, but buying prebuild intercooler piping is expensive. Making your own is very cheap. That's all I did.

Out of everyone that I know that has done it, no one has had a problem.

Personally, I bought a 2.2L Alternator and Pigtail.

DO WANT! must save 3700 dollars.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again.

I can piece together a kit for just over/under $3k (depending on the Turbo of choice), and for a few hundred dollars, I will install/help install for anyone willing to come to me, or anyone that pays for me to come to them.

Im doing a turbo kit for 2400 its not that expensive.

What about twin charge. How much u guys think i can p8ece a kit together and what all do i need?

USMCFieldMP

iTrader: (1)

Nope. Not at all. You probably don't need an intake manifold. That lowers the price as well.

That is one thing that I WOULDN'T attempt to do on my own. VERY hard to tune, from what I hear and its a much more complicated system.

miked5426

What if i finda shop to tune it.... woulda all i need is the turbo, manifold and piping?

rico

have fun with that here in sa

Basically, that's all you would need, along with a very good knowledge of how the system works. And since you are in here asking questions like you are asking, I'd be willing to bet that you don't have too much knowledge on how a good Twincharged system should work.

I SERIOUSLY doubt you are going to find any shop that can set that system up and tune it for a reasonable amount of money, with the exception of ZZP. You will have to pay for A LOT of tuning to get that thing running well if you go to a shop. I'd be willing to bet a lot of money on that.

The simplest, smartest, and least expensive option(s) you have... are to either Turbocharge the car... or bolt-on a TVS.

miked5426

But i want both. Im sad now. Lol
