Oh baby yes indeed my first kill. Let me set the scene for you. Its 10:30pm on a beautiful spring night.

Im waiting at a red light and this new eclipse, guessing 06+, with the pretty rims and after market exhaust pulls up next to me. Anyone in this situation knows the feeling when you know your about to engage in a highly illegal activity just to prove your cock is bigger then theirs lol. Anyways i hear him reving his piece of shit, i decide not to rev lol why would i want to give away my biggest secret of him hearing my BoV?, so i honk my horn back letting him know im ready to rock.

Light turns green, we both get on it, needless to say the shit wasnt even close. By the time i got to the next light i had to wait a good 6ish seconds for him to pull up at the light, distance between lights is about 1/2 mile. I see him roll down his window, so i roll down mine and he says "Who the fuck turbo's a pontiac?" and i say back "The person that is looking to get that expression when their doors just got blown off." He smiles, i laugh and we go our seperate ways... The end.

nice...everyone should turbo a Pontiac!!! What a turd!

lol,, awesome

Haha good shit man.

i was so pissed because this morning i had my video camera in my car and i took it out before i went to work so no one would break into my car for it! I was kicking myself in the ass over that one. Next time my friends. I want to race my dads Z06 vette just for shits and giggles to see if i can even keep up with it. If that epic day ever happens i will for sure video tape that shit.

So you're boosting 14psi right now? How's it holding?

zo6 hahaha you wont keep up im sorry but nice kill. i wonder if it was the v6? if it was you will still beat it. cant wait for my build.

nice kill! i cant wait to hear what else your car will kill this summer

So you're boosting 14psi right now? How's it holding?


very very very well especially with the addition of the new mounts. Hooks right off the launch with minimal tire spin and takes off from there. Im going to undercut myself and be on the safe side with saying over 300whp. In theory 14hp/1lb boost gives roughly 196hp + 170hp stock = 366hp + tune + exhaust= 390ish hp and figure typical hp loss and you would assume 350ish is a safe number for whp. I wont know exact figures till i rip up a dyno but as you can see these are no play toy numbers. Engine is getting a complete bottom end rebuild mid june.

And yes i know im gonna get spanked by my dads vette.... just a matter if i can even keep up with it at all i would love to say..." so dad hows it feel knowing my 28k car just kept up with your 72k elite sports car?" hahahhahaha. Fuck though 500hp rwd is going to be tough to keep up with haha.

What turbo are you running on that? What trim?

Bill hahn says he milked his solstices turbo up to 16psi but thats about all that turbo's got before you have to upgrade.

Oh its a Hahn kit, so its a 16G. 18-20 is about as much as you'd want to run on one. Anything after that and its just blowing hot air. Seems to be a good kit tho. I'd say your right around what you think you are at the wheels, prolly 300-320 ish on a good tune. Remember always think guess the lowest number so your never disapointed lol. The dyno is the killer of hopes and dreams!

Amen to that bud. Hahn told me after 16psi you should really up to the S20G turbo and run 20ish and that + the hahn intake manifold your looking at power levels 400whp+. Trust me thats why im always saying 300whp because i dont want to be the douche bag claiming 370+whp and dyno at 310 lol. Regardless im happy with the results and cant wait to get official 1/4 time and dyno sheets.

lol yea i cant wait to see what you pull at the track. Should easily pull some 13's out of it.

i want to hit mid 12's and ill be satisfied. I want to have the ability to take out most STI's/Evo's/SRT-4's when needed 8). I realize there will always be the select few like myself that choose to take their car to the next level but for the majority of them i want to be able to shrug off.

Just get some slicks and preload it so you dont snap an axle lol

haha if i do it will just be another excuse to max out my credit card again on more performance parts 8).

haha i like your thinking. We'll get along great lol

"Who the fuck turbos a Pontiac?" <-- Classic :lol:

Amazing. Simply stunning. I drooled on my keyboard.

Hooray summertime!

Sooooooo...

...you are in Bethlehem, PA, huh? 500 miles apart, damn. Half way is still a long drive...

:twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

I'm curious, VERY curious.

Also, was the Eclipse a 4cyl or GT V6?

V6, hahaha ya im pretty close to philly only about 40 mins away. Ill post a new vid soon to show you guys how ridiculous this thing is.

please do i want to see you kicking some import ass. then i will know if this kit is worth buying.

Dude thats the best story here.

compatable with 2.2 or only 2.4?

It should be compatable with both. The blocks are pretty much the same, the only real difference in the block is the fact that the 2.4L is bored out a bit more for the cylinders, but thats it.

The primary problem in putting the Hahn kit on the 2.2L is tuning the engine afterward... There simply isn't the vast amount of tuning options for the L61 as there is for the LE5.

Oh, if you do try to boost the G5, definately swap the clutch. Lol@Civics killed his stock one pretty quickly.

2.2 has drums in the back, would that need to be upgraded? (heard from a friend...)

not nessesarily, but discs are always better than drums

also what'd that fly wheel cost you :O

Aluminum flywheel's usually tend to run around the same price as the clutches would.

at 300 bhp you should be taking stock Evo's, STI's and SRT's already...
