theres a new turbo kit on the market for the ecotec engines.
ive got a 2004 cavy with the Big Daddy kit from chill factory it was the prototype kit made to compete with the hahn kit.
i was running 10 psi and got a 13.137 with a stock motor with a turbo kit, stage 3 clutch, 225/50/15 drag radials, and motor mounts.
12.7@110MPH with 10PSI.
no pics?
no website link?
doesnt matter...........
*************Yea i spell liek wrong get over it*****************
** If i write in caps its cause im @ work and i can only write in caps cause the keyboard is a retarded CAPS only keyboard.**
Yeah I don't know about this.
heres the time slip readout i can get a pic of it so this is te best i can do if you belive it ok if not all well
60' 1.942
330. 5.520
1/8 8.470
MPH 83.48
1000' 11.015
1/4 13.133
MPH 107.26
so there is another kit that will compete with the hahn kit for the same price and the craftsmanship will be alot better.
12.7@110MPH with 10PSI.
better craftsmanship ??? aahahahahhahahaaaa
equal to maybe
but from the looks of your , there is alot of extra length to stuff not needed , basicly makes it look crappier
also your intercooler isnt as long as the 1 in the hahn kit
the hahn cooler goes in and out the same side mine doesnt and as for the extra length i know this s the PROTOTYPE kit so the are still very few things to do to it.
if you dont like it like i said earlier i dont care im just saying that theres another kit out for the ecos that is a very good kit. im just not a fan of HAHN.
everyone has there own opinions and mine is against hahn. plus all of you didnt have anypart of the desighn or build of your kits i helped desighn and build this kit from the ground up.
12.7@110MPH with 10PSI.
So you Mr. Fat at the ripe old age of 22 know more than Bill Hahn Jr when it comes to turbo's? He's been playing with them since before you were born,
literally.
You aren't just saying there's another kit out there, yer trying to bash the only successful turbo kit on the market for personal gain.
Oh and I love the messy gasket sealer. A1 professional if you ask me.
ive been around cars for longer than you been born
and have never heard of the "CHILL FACTORY"
HAHN ive heard of for a long time , even before i got into the sport compact cars
so their FMIC has the inlet and outlet on both sides , their FMIC has been proven to well over 300 whp
personally , you had no reason to make the comment you did refering to hahn's kits , and just proves how inmature and inconsiderate you are
Best I could find is Chill Factory mainly deals with sport bike turbos...
Also their website --
http://www.chillfactory.us/ -- as referenced back to on various other sites needs to have the domain reregistered.
From at it as a prototype, it looks decent... not spectacular...
That is a good time though for a proto turbo kit.

better craftsmanship? whats wrong with hahns kits? no one on this site as had anything bad. my kit works flawlessly.
that chill factory kit looks decent. need more pics.. thats cool if another company makes kits for jbodys. and thats cool if u want to come on here and spred the word... but if your gonna try to bash bash hahn on this site. your gonna end up doin more hurt then good for chill factory as far as helping their sales.
hahns made it well into the 11s with their full street weight emissions jbody. im not by any means bashing chill factory as i dont know anything about them.
but saying its gonna have better craftsmanship then hahn is a pretty bold statement.

congrats on the time though.. thats a nice 1/4 for only 10psi. looks like u got a nice launch too with a 1.94 60 ft
the only thing i dont like about SOME of the hahn kits it that ive heard of too many manifolds breaking but some of yall are so stuck on hahn kits and thats ok cause like i said everyon has there own opinions and mine is against hahn well most of you praise him.

Talking crap about a reputable company is about the last thing you should be doing when trying to put out a new kit and break into a market. If I was ChillFactory Id be cutting you off from anything as you have now soured JBOs tastes.
Check out my car....

I have never heard of there manifolds breaking on the Ecotec kits. I can't say for any of there other kits, but still any company can have a product break, as long as that take care fo it is what really matters.
It is nice to see another option on the market, but to say better craftsmanship is taking it a bit far.
I will also be the first to say the Hahn's kit is not my favorite (but only because I do not like internal wastegate set-up's), that's the only reason. The Hahn's kit has been proven to perform great!!!!!!! Not only by them, but by members on this site.
So maybe you jumped the gun a littel (like many of us have done on this site). So maybe you correct your statement and we move on, we have another option on the market which is really just a great things. It appears that kit works well to. Let's see some more pictures of the kit.

how do you know that??
actually several people on this site did that...

reading all the posts you have made including the ones in your first thread, you have not shown a true knowledge in this kind of stuff. Which leads me to wonder how you helped with the design?
In the other thread you even mentioned paying for install on a turbo kit.
Like JimmyZ said, if this company did actually make a kit for the ecotec, thats great! Now thier next step needs to be cutting their ties with you.
"Growing old is mandatory. Growing up? Definitely optional."
I bought my car with a prototype Hahn turbo kit on it. I had an issue with the manifold flange distorting. They replaced it at $0 cost to me, not even shipping. That's awesome seeings how prototypes from any manufactors do not have a warranty.

oh hell no he just didnt say that!
hmmmm, an 04 with a 10psi turbo kit running only an fmu/afpr/inj setup for fuel management? i see cracked ring lands in you future..... how about we see a dyno with a/f readout, huh spanky?

Hmmm I see a guy who thinks he knows a lot who just made himself look like an idiot. I have a FMU and Injector setup for fuel and my ring lands aren't cracked smartass. I can maintain anywhere from a 13.0:1 to a 11.6:1 AFR easily and without problems.
Fatman: Times are good but nothing to brag about. I went 13.08 and 13.14 yesterday on 10-11 PSI as well and we 12.844 @ 112 on 13PSI 2 weeks ago. Oh and your Chill Factory kit will never compare to the quality of a Hahn kit. This coming from the consumer in me and not the sales man. Just looking at your pictures I see many imperfections, some that I bet you guys don't fix. Prototype or not your still suppose to make it look somewhat decent so your prospective buyers don't get turned off but horrid percieved quality.
I used to race cars, now I race myself.

hmmm , i havent heard of any hahn turbo manifolds cracking

but NEVER hahn

although that was a real dickhead response hes right man. look at suncavi, hes running nothing more then an safc with injectors and an fmu and hes the fastest car on hear.
In order to mabye support the argument, I would say that those mods
could be fatal unless your monitoring your AFR. in which case @!#$ could get hurt.

15.574 @ 89 mph stock without charger. new times with charger coming soon.

now if your gonna grab the popcorn
atleast grab some
yeah and i ran a 12.8 with the maximum boost stage1 ecotec kit at 10 psi which is way better quality and performance wise than any kit out for any car ever!
here comes the boost!
You guys need to stop pissing all over each other like this.
What was the orignal point of this thread? To show off a new kit. Maybe the kid said a few choice words that were wrong. Maybe not. Regardless, ALL OF YOU retorted with ten times the amount of retardedness that he did.
As far as the kit itself goes. Who's to say what the quality of it is like?!?! You can barely see anything within the pictures. The piping? Looks to me like 2.5" aluminum mandrel bends that were TIG welded together. The characteristic dime pattern is viewable on the first weld after the TB. It can't get any better than that. The log manifold? Can't really tell much other than it fits. You can say the same about the turbocharger. The intercooler? Yeah, it's a little small by about four or so inches and they could of gone a little bigger. Efficiency (NOT flow) was knocked down a little bit due to this.
Overall, with the pictures and the claim of the timeslip, this is a VERY solid initial showing of a tubocharger kit and isn't anywhere close to being a Maximum Boost BUST. The company who made this kit appears to be serious about the system.
My point is, with all this pissing going on and negative crap, the company is going to see this thread and totally walk away from the idea of producing the kit. What does this mean to the J guy on here looking to purchase a fully built turbo kit? Well first off, you lose a choice of company. Second, you lose the chance of prices going down due to the fact that there's finally some competition to stack up again Hahn. Third, the same goes for replacement parts from Hahn. Prices will never drop if they have a solid grasp on the market.
I just read through a part of the thread that JimmyZ posted. This guy obviously likes to fire his mouth off. Hardly a good choice of an ambassador for a new product. However, don't let it get to you for the sake of this company's desire to pursue a product in the J market.
I just hope Chill Factory sees past the bullcrap and still sees a market on this forum...
