anyone know what the average HP gain will be when this thing comes out? i heard it comes out next month that true?

 

There are I think a few kits that are in R&D phases.

As far as HP goes, you can figure basically 10 HP for each PSI of boost.

So 8 PSI = 80 HP

 

well im pretty sure 250 hp is attainable with the right tuning

 

yeh thats true. thats the borderline though right? at least i mean for GM's warranty or whatever

 

Without some engine and tranny work, if you try to run a high boost I don't think the car would be in tip top shape for long.

 

well i figure new pistons and heads... the tranny should hold up lol stock can handle 8 psi, thats what everyone is saying.... maybe 12 psi with the gm heads and pistons kit. O yea i was also wondering does a cavi turbo kit fit on a cobalt?

 

Pistons and rods, not heads. And if you are only doing 8psi and 250HP, you don't have to change a thing. If you go to 12, then yes you do. And no, Cavalier kit will not fit on a Cobalt.

 

will 8 psi get the 2.2 up to 250 though? what range do you think? 215-225?

 

12 psi on stock, puts you around 260, some people have been ok with running the ecotecs even higher although i probably wouldnt chance it. 8 psi on stock will net you around 225-230 hp.
check out the hahn site.
if you want to push the stock internals to 250hp, i wouldnt go more than 10-11psi.

 

8psi will get you 250 crank HP not at the wheels...for wheel HP you are looking at around 220ish...which is more than enough...I bet it would produce an amazing amount of torque if you select the right turbo as well.

 

yeh thats true. im gonna make sure i get the right rods, pistons, etc for the turbo once i can get it. im gonna push the baby but not stock. i dont wanna blow the hell out of it. but this is further in the future and just good for planning thanks

This stuff here would be a great building block, and the price is very nice.

 

careful, i hear the saab ecotec headers dont bolt up the same on the cav, sunfire, cobalt, ions. just cause the seller says it will work doesnt mean it will work.

 

if you want to put together a custom kit, look at some of the other parts on ebay.

 

i dont plan on building a custom kit. ill break something lol

 

im already starting to put together my custom setup

 

Actually the Saab setup bolts right up. You guys shouldnt post stuff unless you know what your talking about.

 

I bought the Apexi Safc Fmu

 

theres no need for that, he didnt say that it for sure wont bolt up, and i have heard the exact same thing about saab ecotecs.
