Any proof that they have one for the HHR?

Just got off the phone with Brad at Hahn and they definately have the HHR on the shortlist especially after the project they did for SEMA...he said really in order to get the ball rolling we would need about 25 definates to get going if anyone is serriously interested give him a call at 630-553-6830 he took my info down and will get back to me...

It's kind of hard to commit to buying something without seeing the kit or the dyno graphs to back it up first and without having a firm price.

If I were to do a turbo on the HHR, my preference would be to go with the STS system that is rear mount. As tested, turbo lag is not a problem, and it addresses HHR specific problems such as tight fitment. The HHR's exhaust is right up against the firewall - not much room for a turbo there.

Some other advantages to the STS kit are;

a) runs cooler (not bolted directly to the exhaust manifold)
b) turbo sound is in the rear (like a standard exhaust).
c) converts back to stock in about an hour (if you need to)

I'm sure many others have different preferences, but the STS fits the bill for me.

Never mind, I have a 2.4 anyways. :red:

I like the STS kit because it looks clean without the turbo being under the hood.

THIS (javascript:ezPOpen('trans_am_video');) is what I like about it! (your results may vary.)

(may not work - having problems with their site today) :red:

it's funny that the two people responded were the two in the other thread saying that no aftermarket companies are producing parts...here is a company that wants to produce and everyone wants to turn their backs...

i put my name on the list

i wish they would publish in a magazine so they would get more interested people faster.

he told me probably like in the fall which is a way away but if it gives that much more HP at the wheels then it is worth the wait.

CJ,

did he mention anything to you about numbers and whether it was 2.2 or 2.4 or both...

-wC

It's kind of a big commitment when they don't have any numbers to back their product up. The same reason I am holding off of purchasing the Gibson exhaust from SoCal. I need to see a dyno chart and confirmed gains before I can even think of purchasing something.

understandable...I would definately give him a call and voice that concern...see if we can get the ball rolling here...this is a company that has a line of stuff for the Ecotec already so they are familiar with the engine...

-wC

They are familiar with the 2.2 Ecotec. The 2.4 Ecotec is an entirely new engine for GM, it's not the old 2.4. Granted it's based off of the other Ecotecs but they have new things like VVT to deal with.

i told him i had the 2.2 and that i was looking for 295 to 300 hp at the wheels and he said that was in the realm of what could be gotten out of it. he said the current kits were running around $4k.
that is better than what i have read so far for the expected HP at the wheels and not the flywheel.
so i am interested,,, i want 295 to 300 true hp at the wheels

will see

I've already become an STS dealer.
Just waiting for them to finish their kit.

You want just a turbo produce to over double your HP? Maybe if you entirely rebuilt your engine with new cams and everything it's posible but you aint going to get 300 HP at the wheels on just the turbo alone.

he said it would probably add another 100 hp to the wheels w their turbo. the rest of the hp would come from some more engine mods and air intake and exhaust. i total effort to get the final total hp up another 150 to 160.

Running 6psi of boost on a 2.2L (143hp), will net you 200hp. (about +57hp)
Running a whopping 9psi (that's a LOT of boost for a stock mill), will net 230hp. (about + 87hp)

*Note: these are all crankshaft figures based against the stock output number.

will the STS kit work with the 2.4 socal?

What is the website for your STS. I would like to read about their stuff.

thx Captain.

Where are you getting the turbo? I dont even see one for the hhr listed on their site.

STS had a turbo installed on an HHR at the last SEMA show. They are just now working on finalizing the production kit. It will be available soon. (That's why it's not listed on their site.)

Hope it helps,

It does thanks SoCal

Here is a link to a write-up about the STS turbo in Motortrend.

saw it on speed channel this morning
not real fond of the way it sounds

Turbo is nice for power.... but.. it dimishes the overall length of motor life.

but what about the SS's that chevy has with a supercharger dose that make the motors life short also.

Its not the turbo that reduces the life of the engine. Its the abuse from the Idiot behind the wheel. My fried Oreo has a turbo on his truck. He hasnt hade any trouble from it. But he upgrade his computer, intake and exhaust. If have to make allowances for the added power. If you take a stock engine and add a turbo but dont improve exhaust and intake, you will have problems.

They never said the actual 1/4 mile time, though they did say it should be reduced by more than .4 due to the weight increase. I would love to see photos of the installation. Either air intake is from the back and a single tube under the car flows into the intake manifold, or there are 2 long hoses under the car-one feeding the turbo and the other returning the pressurized air. By the time it reaches the manifold, one would think it has lost some of it's boost. Where are the hoses run, and how are they kept cool? I believe a supercharger like on the Cobalt would be far simplier.

Besides, they tested the 2.2. What about the 2.4??? :confused:

I do not understand why car companies all seem to turbo or super charge their smaller displacement or cylinder engines. Does it not make sense to take the highest HP motor to work on, since it already has the advantage of higher output???
