i want a kit for my 2.2, but im worried about wear and tear on my car. I plan on getting full sways and a full exaust. Also a new clutch, with all that i should be okay to run the garret at 10psi with minor to no problems or what??

bump ne one got n e ideas?? looking spend about 1k

 

You will get no where towards a turboed ride with only 1k.

10psi with all those mods I don't think would be a problem, I wouldn't go any higher. Just remember to change your oil every 3000 miles after the turbo. The higher cylinder pressures lead to fater contamination of the oil.

 

doing your own ic/piping wont be that bad...hell the intercooler ive already gotten rigged up and tested on the car(without taking th bumper off) and it fits perfect and looks great...now the piping as far as compressor side of the ic should be easy..but on the throttle body side its looking like its going to bea bitch

 

stupid question...i went onto the garret page and looked under 2.4 turbo and thers a link for the hahn site.....

also...from waht ive seen and from the little that i know about turbos im liking the hahn kit even tho its more expensive just b/c it seems to be as complete as you can get...as for the issues with the tune...how had is it to rectify the problems associated with it?? is bill going to make any changes to the tune he provides based on whats been going on??

 

I paid $1000 for the time to retune my car to work without the parts and the tune that Hahn provided. I talked to Bill about it and he had no interest is what we did with my car.

My tune is available from Vince at Trifecta Performance for much less than I paid to have it made. PM me for more information on the tune and what you need to make it work as an alternative.

 

Hey Red, you ever get that bigger throttle body and intake yet?

 

No, I haven't done much with my car at all except finish the tune. I am sort of taking a break for now on it!

 

Kewl, kewl. Mine actually pulls harder and better now. Remember how loud it was at WOT? Exhaust problem, which is now fixed.

 

Nice! I was chasing a couple exhaust leaks myself!

 

that sucks i heard bill was a really cooperative guy to work with

ny to wa is a lonnnng distance lol

 

Bill hasnt been of much help with myself.

Ive called numerous times asking for help, with "i'll get back to you"...and never heard of again.

 

interesting....

 

So you are no longer running the port fueler that came in the hahn kit? You tuned the car with just the 60's right? Also are you still running it as a draw through turbo setup or did you convert it to a blow through?

 

I am only using the port fueler to maintain the stock fuel pressure as I damaged the stock fuel pressure regulator installing the original kit. I am running 60's now at the OEM 58psi.

With my tune you could run the kit without any fuel system mods except the 60# injectors.

Not sure what you mean by blow through? I didn't change any of the charge piping if that helps!

Vince can ship you the tune!

He is sending one to PA this week!

 

I was just asking where you had the MAF located, if you have not changed the piping you are running a draw through set up since it is before the turbo, blow through would be after the turbo.

 

Mason if you're looking for reliability maybe a s/c would be a better idea.

 

if you're only looking for 220 and reliable and cheap either get nitrous.. the m62 redline setup... or a full na build with cams .. and you'll get there with all of them and be reliable.. or just an ebay turbo setup like trix.. it's not worth buying a kit if you're looking for only a mear 50-75 hp depending on other mods
