updates on Ecotec GM supercharger
Wednesday, April 05, 2006 7:10 PM
I dont mean to sound lame or anything but I am in Japan and the last thing i heard about the Ecotec charger was that it was out and a few members had it already. i wanted to know if any of the people that bought it had any video or dyno #'s to go with it and was it well worth the wait or should people lean more towards the hahn kits. I know that it's not going to give you insane amounts of hp but is it worth it. also where can you buy the ecotec kit at also?

i am pretty sure it would but as far as daily driven with a little more go it should be good enough right? does it up the hp to the 200's?

the GM charger alone gives you about 200 whp, then upgrade your exhaust and you will be sitting between 220 and 230 whp and run 13s. I don't think the hahn kit is that much better. Sure it has more potential, but for someone who wants to run 13s as reliably as if he were stock, the GM charger is better. Plus you can always upgrade the kit, which can bring probably bring you in the 12s with a little work.

See I've been waiting for the longest time for SOMEONE to post a dyno, or a vid or anything of the GM charger... I dont think we've had anything yet right?

^^^well essentially airtonics' charger is the same as the gm charger, except it's intercooled, but there shouldn't be that much of a difference. Airtonics hit over 200 whp with just the charger and no other mods and also ran 14.1.

so as far as #'s go I can expect to be over 200? that's not bad to me espcially if it is only 2500. does that include a reflash also or do i go to a chevy dealership and get it done? does aitonics have #'s posted in his profile?

na, with a reflash it's 2800, i belive the 2500 you have to bring it to their shop and they do the reflash, if you buy form GM parts direct you can just bring it to any dealership.

i think w/ an exhuast you will be around 190-210, but it's sitll fairly knew so we have no absolute numbers, im just guestimating.

there is the link....it says it boosts the eco to 250hp but im thinking thats at the crank. Even if it is that will put you well over 200hp at the wheels.

for some reason i thought the kit was twice that but that was from gm parts direct. whats the difference?
Re: updates on Ecotec GM supercharger

That PaceParts kit comes INTERCOOLED with EVERYTHING needed to run right? What psi is it? What should I really know before considering buying this. I know the basics of boost.

non of the kits come with everything for the intercooler

you still needs lines , pump , resivoir , heat exchanger








Re: updates on Ecotec GM supercharger

So it comes with the intercooler, but nothing to connect it?

the "yes" was to Admiral's question...

Anyone have an update on the 2002 LS Sports with Delphi injectors??

I haven't seen an update on Pace's site or know of any dealer who will install one on an '02 yet...anyone??

I only know of one person who actually got the kit installed...how about some reviews from those eho have it installed??

any one know how much psi its at. im guessing 6-8
Re: updates on Ecotec GM supercharger
Monday, April 10, 2006 9:04 PM
oh yeah this may be a dumb question but w/ the reflash whats the highest amount of boost you'll be able to go w/o having to change the software. Like if i decide to put a smaller pulley on it would i have to change the reflash also?
