i just recieved a email from hahn they are taking orders 4000 for the twincharger kit... just letting u's know..

 

your post is a little hard to understand, are you saying hahn is taking up orders for the kit for $4,000?

 

yup i just got the email tonight...

 

is that all they say? copy the text and post it

 

here u go

Hello,

We are starting to take orders today!!!! $3995 for the twin charger system!!!!!
Please contact me to place an order today and be in the first batch if systems
built!

4k is very cheap, id like to see some hahn test vehicles first though.

 

I would like to see some "#'s"
whats included in this kit (probrably everything but to drop 4G on a its ready email)
they should have some more information......

 

$4,000 and your HP gains are going to be limited. Without doing internals and valve train work these engines are not going to hold big power gains.

 

Wtf??? If systems built? There is still an If in this?

This is good news, that should mean they're getting close to releasing the turbo only kit.

 

I want specs and power numbers before I commit to anything...and then I'll probably build my own for 1/3 the cost

Dan

but good luck to yall who try

 

No ****! I'm on the same page with you here. I want dyno numbers on a sheet, a parts list, and some more pics before I put 4K down!

 

Just got this e-mail a few moments ago from Hahn.

Can't wait to see what they have to say. If I can get my 350whp realiably with it, I will go this route. I'll have a few dates with some SRT-4s shortly thereafter too as a payback session!

 

Dan, I'm with ya on this...1/3 might be pushing it, 1/2 the cost is definitely thinking that is reachable. Hell, for $4k you could do a full custom turbo back exhaust and Mahle 8.8:1 pistons along with a straight turbo set up, axles and be at 400whp.

 

im not a proponent of twincharging....seems like a waste of money. Just upgrade the S/C you already have or switch it out for a turbo, and sell the S/C to help offset the cost of the turbo kit. The only thing that is good about twincharging is when someone says "is your car turbocharged or supercharged?" yuo can say "both" lol but thats about it.

 

thats what i was thinking lol are people just supposed to randomly get them w/o knowing anything about em

 

what stock parts would have to be replaced to not blow the engine im assuming the rods and axels... what else?

 

Why rods? They're one of the strongest pieces in our engine. Axle is a matter of if you are making it a track car or street car.

The kits should be designd for as the car comes. It's not a kit without having everything needed.

 

even with the gmpp stage 2??

 

ok, $4k deff. need #'s on sheets parts included, if we can simply bolt on or need to weld anything. what internals need to be replaced/should be. what about the blower?? over spinning?? how much would it be able to take/handle. would the S/C limit the air from the turbo coming in??

 

Well if you have a GM Stage 2, you wasted lots of money if you go to this kit. The supercharger pulley will change, it will have a custom tune to replace the Stage 2, more than likely larger injectors than 42s, etc.

 

Twincharged kits use larger than stock supercharger pulleys so overspinning isn't an issue. When the twincharged RL had his set up (365whp), he had a 3.8" pulley on his M62. If it wasn't safe, they wouldn't sell it.

 

I've shot back and fourth emails about these questions to Hahn. The kit will come already tuned, simply install it on the car, and either send the ECU in to be flashed or they will include a way to do so at home. The kit was designed to work with the stock internals, so there is no need to replace the pistons, rods, vavletrain etc.

Supporting mods in my opinion would definitly entail a better clutch, mounts, and axles for the drag racers here. I feel if the kit lays down 350whp reliably, which it should be capable of in anyone remembers Twincharged's redline, it will be worth the money.

 

im looking to use it as at a daily driver tho so what should be changed and no stg 2 kit then???

 

thats sweet, 3.8 pulley?? why so big? and if wnated to, how could u attain more power/boost?? swap pulley or bigger turbo ?? what??
