We didn't have to go much further than our popular Solstice/Sky intercooler to design this exciting new version for Cobalt SS-TC. Using our purpose-built and designed cooling core (a Hahn exclusive!) provided a proven solution, one not limited by choosing some "off-the-shelf" universal core. This core features a whopping 835 cubic inches of volume! We added expertly-crafted sheetmetal end tanks that are carefully designed to augment airflow and avoid turbulence and 'dead spots'. For a well-engineered finishing touch, we retained the OEM mounting brackets and their beneficial rubber isolator mounts.

The largest unit available, with 28% more core volume than the nearest competitor, this unit will provide all the cooling your TC could ever need, no matter what you do in the future to increase its power! It not only increases overall power, it also improves throttle response due to reduced inlet restriction. While its overall core volume is over 150% that of stock, it still nestles cleanly into the space occupied by the stock intercooler. Its bar-and-plate construction considerably improves both heat storage and rejection compared to the stock tube/fin design. Compatible with both stock and Hahn RaceCraft intercooler piping, as well as with Hahn/BSR PPC Tuner.

Add the Hahn RaceCraft logo in red or black for no additional charge!

sheetmetal end tanks on an aluminum intercooler? isnt this going to casue a problem down the road with the 2 metals reacting to one and other? sheetmetal will make the aluminum start to carode(sp) and weaken eill it not?

general question, not bashing

Karo

I think what Bill meant by that comment was a sheet of aluminum was used to form the end tank. Not actual sheet metal as in mild steel or stainless steel. You can clearly see in the picutres that its an aluminum end tank which is welded onto the core.

Good looking piece there Bill keep up the good work!

PS: I never heard back from you on the PM I sent you

i saw that but looking at the picture and then reding the description ...thats why i asked

HunterKiller89

iTrader: (1)

looks sexy...and i believe thats the same cubic inch size as the Large CX racing HE for the SS/SC's, which we ALL know is large! lol

IsItFast?

How would this compare to the $400 upgrade offered by Synapse? Theirs appears larger, but appearances (and performance of the intercooler) can be deceiving.

i might have to get this later, my ic is crap.

A larger I/C would produce more lag would it not?


How much would it be?

And whoever said their stock I/C is crap

The highest IAT2 I have seen is like...95*, after back to back 115 mph runs


Best question yet Bill...why would a stock turbo SS need one?

Can you get some real charge piping with it?

And those two together should be less than 1000 bucks.

JPizzle

I'm interested in the HP/TQ numbers.

Omega_5

Yes... it will indeed.
And I don't think anyone said the stocker is crap.... but when you crank up the boost with HPT, the discharge temps go way up, as the turbo is out of the efficiency range, and pushing the limits of it's map. A bigger IC would cure the ill affects of more heat.... the lag is a small price to pay.

Of course... everyone does.
... and guess what... they are exactly the same.
An intercooler is only as good as the system it's put on.

As mentioned above... a bigger IC on a stock motor... probably very little gain. Bigger IC on a motor with more boost... probably a nice gain from more cooling.

Karo

I'm no Bill by any means, but a simple look on their website and I found this.

There is also a GB on for that.

glhs379

the solstice guys are getting like 20+wheel with this cooler over the stocker on their forums with the bsr tuner.

EthensCobalt

$375
a must to be cheaper than an exhisting product

proZak

how about a group buy on the ppc tuner? I would be much happier with a tune then a intercooler IMO

very nice product just have my eyes on other parts you have first

glhs379

Go with the tune and IC!

They go together like jack and coke!

Here's a dyno comparison that shows intercooler performance versus stock. It's on a PPC-equipped, but otherwise stock HHR SS-TC using the same intercooler design.

If you'd like to see the entire test, click here:

Intercooler Testing, Stock vs. Hahn



Sure...here's a look. The super-wide core (almost 27 inches) fills the entire grille opening very nicely!

hilty003

very nice id definitely want the writing on there.

Hahn RaceCraft

It is...huge.

It is the largest core we've ever produced for a bolt-in intercooler upgrade:

26.5" long, 8" tall, and 4" deep. The internal core volume is equivalent to 150% that of stock. It will support up to 700 HP without breaking a sweat.

In this pic, you can see the difference vs stock in height...we are 30% taller:




And in this one, the difference in depth...we are 35% thicker:
