Things Needed for Turbo Setup
 

Turbo Manifold
Turbo
Blow off Valve
Intercooler
Down Pipe

What an I missing? This idea has been in my head. Right now I cant afford it, but it is something that Id like to know more about for maybe future use.

you could just order a complete setup from hahn.....

lol looks like the list grew quite a bit. Thanks for the link.


I was checking out the kits, and they look pretty good. It got good reviews from the ecotec forums as well. THe only thing I'd probably have to modify would be the plumbing. Or could I just use the Cavy piping?

Minus the charge pipes and maybe the downpipe.

im not mechanically inclined at all but i was just wondering what prior mods an ectoc needs before a turbo with like 8lbs boost?

isn't the Hahn set up for a 5spd only?

Thanks for the comfirmation. I wasnt entirely sure about that part.



At 8lbs, I dont think youd need much engine wise. Higher than that, and you will probably need engine reinforcement (Rods, pistons, etc...).


It is, but Im thinking you could fab your own piping, which should be the only that changes from auto to manual. Maybe you could get the pieces from the kit seperately and exclude the piping or something.

so i could turbo a stock alero to 8lbs. what kind benefits or power increase would that have, how much r kits, how easy is install?

dude the hahn kits 3500, it aint cheap

bleh eff that i oculd buy some riced out car for half that with one to toy with

y go rice? unless its a 240sx

the price you pay for the hahn kit is worth it boost is addicting and there's proof in my cousin he started out with a Honda civic running 8 psi then 16 then 21, the car was running low 11's in 1/4 mile he sold that and started doing a turbo setup on a Yamaha Nytro sled.

Or... Scavenge a B207R equipped Saab.

hmm turbo... youd still need to get it tuned tho our PCM doesnt read boost

Tuning is one of the things Im most afraid of, but I am sure that once I acquire the software, I should be able to handle it. There are plenty of forums that can help, and Im sure that some of the A-modders also have knowledge of this.



Nice find. Those are cheaper than the Hahn setup, and garret is pretty well known for turbos. I had heard of them before, I just didnt know they made a kit for the Eco. Are there any other cars you could scavenge? I was thinking some of the solstices have turbod ecos dont they?

Do you expect BIG performance mods to be cheap? cause if you do.....your in for a rude awakening.

You can go the cheaper route and have parts made for your set up like blackjack did but you need to know all the diff parts needed

is it uncommon to have a turbo-ed 2.4 ho? but that is many many miles, hrs and days away from me but just something to ponder and keep in the back of my head

i know what performance costs, im tellin this guy,


just lettin him know wat hes gettin into
