Another Hahn Turbo install - Lots of PICS !!!
Monday, April 23, 2007 4:32 PM
Well I decided to "bang out" the turbo kit this weekend. I started it Saturday and finished Sunday. For anyone interested in turbocharging an Ecotec and I would highly recommend this kit. This is a Hahn Stage II 03-05 Ecotec straight ot of the box. I am in my trial period right now, but let me say Holy S#%T !!! When it hits Boost it pulls hard!! I do have a CEL light on after 2hrs of driving. The codes are P0420 Cat Low Efficiency and P0172 System Trim Rich. Any way on with the PICS !!!!

Actually it took me about 17 hours total, a buddy of mine helped a little (third hand stuff), but it was 90% all me.

I see you're from Bath. I live in Allentown, so I'm not too far. Unfortunately I'm 260 miles away from home; either way, I don't have the HP Tuners, but I would love to see the car.

Jason - Look me up when you are back in town.

YellowLsSport - I'm tuning the car with a pyrometer right now. I have my base pressure at 35psi and w.o.t. is 85psi. I need to lean it out when cruising. That is when my CEL came on. I was on the highway 70mph for a good 10 miles.

CavalierKid - I think my ECU does have that 14.7 a/f setting...... I may try the reflash, my goal is to get the CEL light off.

If I were to use a '03 ECU could I flash it with my '05 vin # so it still matches the BCM ? or would that defeat the purpose?

The codes are P0420 Cat Low Efficiency... better hope your cat-coverter isn't dead. I had that code recently and it was dead as a door knob.

How much is the reflash? Since I have a 04 I need to do the same.




Re: Another Hahn Turbo install - Lots of PICS !!!

Reflashing to 03 may or may not work, depending on what VIN they ring it up as. Flash to an 02 to be sure.

Also, does the Hahn kit really eliminate the factory FPR and use only a BEGI 2025? You now have no adjustability with a vacuum reference, so you can definately kiss catalytic converters goodbye, along with your fuel economy, as anything below positive manifold pressure will run pig-rich. HPTuners should have enough adjustability to remedy this, but I wouldn't consider it acceptable for such a well-known company to half-ass tuning like this...

yes the Hahn kit elimates the factory FPR.
