i've got about 10grand to spend on parts and labor and i need some input. Hahn says they can get 360hp on 93octane with their stage5 turbo kit. I'm getting performance/forged/blah blah blah crank cams pistons lifters...etc so i don't have to worry about blowing it up. my question is what would be worth the money in the end? modifying the hell out of the stock supercharger or getting the kit from hahn and getting a larger turbo to hold more boost?

 

hahn kit hands down

 

hahn kit +1, nothing else is going to come close, plus that setup if good to over 420whp with a built motor.

 

Why is this even a question? Hahn turbo kit FTW!

 

with all due respect and partly being funny.. that has to be the dumbest question i have ever heard

 

Hahn kit without a doubt. And I doubt anyone, if only a few, will tell you otherwise, that's how sure-fire this is. And it's because:

With 10K you'll have more than enough for all the supporting mods, plus traction, and the turbo kit itself. That said, you quoted 360hp. No, try 400+, you'll be able to crank the boost safely. The person on here with their test kit has all the supporting mods so they turned it up a little and made 440hp, and they still hadn't turned it up as much as they wanted to.

 

haha i just wanted to get some input, so i don't take any offense to that. but yes it will be a fully built motor with 500horsepower rated axels with spec stage4 clutch and other tranny parts to get it to the ground. i'm just gonna miss the whine of the supercharger though, but when i get that huge kick in the pants from the huge turbo, i won't miss it haha

Does anyone else have this kit yet?

P.S. Being 18, i love my car being my only expense

 

Turbo that mother.

 

don't kill yourself

 

go zzp twincharge... supercharger and turbo

 

how much boost could i run with a Turbonetics GTK series turbo and a fully built motor?

 

with 10 grand i'd trade in the cobalt and use the 10 grand as dp on an 03-04 ZO6 but thats just me

 

The smartest comment in this thread

And the dumbest...

 

Why isn't this thing ordered already?

 

cause i have 13k miles left on the warranty haha then i will. i'm gonna drive it as much as i can till then

 

I wouldn't go that far.

What's 10 grand, minus the negative equity on his balt, minus a ZO6 = ~52,000 dollars. Somehow I don't think he's gonna get the same monthly payment. Not to mentiont the inusrance.

The comment about twin charging, although ignorant (not having all the facts), made more sense than this proposal.

 

my balt is paid off, i paid 14,900 cash for it from a private seller. he needed to get rid of it bad cause he still owed money on it so i paid that off for him and then paid another 7k.
no monthly payments for me

 

Wow...big money

 

sure it can make hp...but...still...FWD FTMFL!!!!! ....put a huge down payment on a GTO!!!!

 

Sure wish you had seen my car before you bought that one.

 

must be nice not having any other bills

 

it really is haha

 

tons of 03-04 ZO6's for very low 30's and high 20's, just got to be patient and look. u get one for say 32k,u put the 10k down, sell the balt for what u paid 14k i'm sure u can get that for it, u have 14k worth in mods or u can pay off more of the car, now 14k in mods on that ZO6 ur looking at a 10 second car and the car is streetable and daily drivable. i'm just throwing that out there. cuz the cobalt wont hit 10's with the turbo kit, maybe low 12's. and thats already pushing it for daily drvier

 

ha I will have to agree with you on that, **** I'm not even close to my goal in power (500whp) and already at 411whp I have huge traction problems, **** when my clutch holds I spin em til about 130mph or so. speaking of which, I really need to install my exedy one of these days

 

why not buy a house thats what i did... and im 21 just had a new house built. and do stuff here and there to the cobalt.

dont buy a z06 thats a bad idea, 16mpg and gas here in stl is over $4.29/gal.

if you have some much money and have to have a fast car the electric tesla roadster 0-60 in 3.9 seconds. and it looks badass

my opinion each, to his own.
