450x.75?! Why would you expect a 25% power loss from the crank on a FWD CAR?!

Awesome numbers Nick! Great video too! I’m surely inspired to get mine going! Looking forward to the track video Now you have the look and power to match!

Solid #’s, man! Thanks for the video.... Keep up the good work!

(Liked) Great video. Good edit. Love the car and really impressed with the power. Look forward to seeing more videos. Keep up the great work!!

Sounds amazing they are some serious numbers I'm sure it's gonna fly.

Looks like zzp didnt want you to hit the 400hp like there hatch sonic... Great video

Great video brother. I don’t see many people doing anything with the HHR SS. I have an 08 but the engine overheated so I ordered a replacement from ZZP. The new engine is crazy! It came with almost everything pre installed. My plan is to get the new engine in so I have a daily driver while I build another ZZP 2.0. Then I plan to convert my HHR SS to RWD with a 5 speed and rear end and suspension from a Sky Redline. I’m sure my HHR SS will be under the knife for a while but I’m pretty sure I can pull off the build. I’m surprised this is not something more people would want to do. I have only seen it mentioned 1 time online. Anyway thank you for the awesome video and I look forward to seeing your road beast on the track. Stay safe brother

Now that's impressive on what's been done to that 2 liter 339 at the wheels on a save tune of the engine. I'm sure it'll turn in some wild quarter mile times once on the track. Myself own a '09 HHR SS panel 2 liter automatic.

Great Video ! I own a 2008 Lt 2.4 liter with 3rd window panel from factory. 164k miles and still in good shape.

Those are solid numbers at the wheels. You definitely have more restraint than I, seeing as there's more boost to be had. I'd love to see the E85 numbers.

Dude I've seen this car on 70 before, neart Hagerstown. I love your build

I want my hhr like this one. :-)

Where did you get the projector headlights? I have searched countless hours looking for a set.

Also hopefully there isn't a vicious turn in the exhaust back by the rear tire. I did 2.5 in all the way back. Also got open air filter sucking in all that hot air the iat's must be high

I made 358whp on my ko4

Who's 6.0 is making 339whp on cammed and long tubes? I'd be pissed lol. We just dynoed a 6.0 vette here long tubes, baby cam, intake and exhaust and made 410 on 93 shell

Wow seeing that had an auto is insane. I cannot believe the transmission survived that. Get a Saab 6 speed in there with zzp and you’ll probably see 350-380

ZZP rocks

Nice numbers! I also recently got a 2010 auto. Any chance i can see how your tune is setup please? I'm also in pa in the amish country. I see you're in pa and from your other vids visited the pagoda

I see the whp climbing, but it doesn't sound right for some reason. It's as if the engine hits a plateu and the rpms don't climb... But they don't red line either.

Did you have to tear apart the engine to add any of these modifications?

What zzp bolt ons did you put. Im thinking of going through them for my stuff on my ion redline

I like the exhaust I have the HAHN full race

let me know when you make it to the track ..id love to see this vs #jukebait

I'm going to end up hitting you up for advice. Bought a 08 Lnf November of 08. My first internet purchase. Put it in a 84 Fiero, which was my Daily. It came, complete, on a pallet. Im trying to get all the systems hooked up correctly, but I have a head injury, so it makes it hard to search for info. I have all good high performance stuff on this car. Willwood, morose, fkexilite, custom 3 core brass radiator, for weight in the front end. Qa1 and koni 12 way rears. After market tube suspension. I'm going with ZZP stage one sensors ect. Also have air over water w Bosch pump. Need someone who knows where the small lines go.

Love those halo headlights. Where did you find them

I wonder how compatible zzp parts are on a Saab 2.0T ecotec motor

So i could do this to my 06 Pontiac g6 ecotec ?need a parts list i cant find any mods no matter how hard i look .

It's the lnf turbo upgrade or the s257 that comes alone?

Great work, not to many people use the T45e trans.I have an LNF in a Fiero with the T45e. Will always be faster than a stick car because of not being able to power shift the stick transmissions. The one mistake I see that you have made was you never closed the hood and made a pull. It may surprise you.

Whats your mpg? V8 horsepower with half the displacement in a 4 cyl do you still get 4 cyl mpg?

time to bring it to tail of the dragon to hang with the other boys now :)

Did you install the stage 2 cam also? That's my next bolt on and wanted to know gains

I wanna swap my 97 saturn sc2 with a supercharged ecotec. What do you think?

I might be super late but that 25 percent drivetrain loss is not accurate without transaxles. HP Tuners shows me making 401hp at the crank and I make 370 at the wheels. This is stock turbo on 110 octane and not on a mustang dyno.

👍

What are all the bolt ones done to it?

how do you like the automatic in this car? I'm trying to decide between auto and stick.

I love this video....I need to get more hp out of my malibu which has the same engine

339whp, same as a 6.0 with a cam and bolt- ons? Ummmmm, you drunk?

What ECU did you use to tune?

That’s a good build and respectable numbers. I wouldn’t compare it to a 6.0 though. Although you may make “similar power numbers” to a cammed, headers, tune 6.0 if you were to race a 6.0 powered car of similar weight there would be no comparison. The torque of the 6.0 would be overwhelming and with the same hp he would just stay pulled past you.

What are you using to tune? Like software and ecm

Did you have a bigger cam

A stage one tune i ebelive got you to like 310 hp pretty sure that was just a flash you should be making over 5

The trans can take the launch control just fine.

Cost of the mods total??

How much did the build cost you

Is that the 2.4?

What year ??? Is it auto?

Seems like they're dickn around you should have hit 400 off the bat if not more. I have the same vehicle in silver a 2010

thats it? you can literally make those numbers reliably with stock motor and stock turbo....

Stock up on them automatic transmissions

Zoom zoom parts

10-15% not 25 for fwd

What injectors and fuel pump are you using? You should be making more than that at 22 PSI..... on an s257 you should be making more steam than that... and why only run it out to 22 PSI? Turn that bich up

Seems like a waste of money kool car but it’s making essentially the same power as my fully bolt on LSJ ion redline supercharged but it sounds great.

by your math my truck has 20-25hp more then it's stock factory rating. my truck stock an many just like it dyno at 310-315 whp stock. your math means my truck doesn't have 395 hp it has 415-420 hp. I like it lol but it's wrong. good rule of thumb is 16% powertrain loss if it's fwd 20% if it's rwd unless it's mid engine then it's around 16% also. the difference is your car only has about 404-405 hp not 450 hp bud.

Sorry, but a 20 year old lq4 with a small cam and headers on a proper tune and the correct supporting mods (injectors, fuel pump, etc.) would lay down right around 400 to the wheels on in a Silverado through a much bigger trans and rear axle (read: larger power train losses). Additionally, more efficient is also a dead nuts lie. Your AFRs would tell you that right off that bat. Your AFRs reflect you BSFC, which will be more efficient NA than boosted every single time. I love the ecotec and the LSJs and LNFs, but they ain't no LS. Boosted with all that work you did, you'd get freight trained by a 6.0 with a small cam and headers in a car that weighs 500lbs more. Impressive numbers, I'd love to replicate them. But it still doesn't even compete with a gen 2 LT1, let alone a 6.0 LS. And add 1 more to the you ain't got no 25% drivetrain loss. My 6 speed T56 rwd Gen 4 Camaro only loses a out 15% through the driver train, I'd give that HHR the same losses if Auto and 12% if Manual. Remember, the higher the horsepower at the crank the lower the percentage loss through the drive train (although the actual lost power does still increase). The commentary on this video is why riders have a bad name. Name brand tuners are spewing utter crap on an otherwise very impressive result. Ugh.

Lol 25% drivetrain loss what is it running a power glide with a Ford 9 inch ? Get realistic it's a FWD car with a small efficient transmission 10-15% loss max. I know in your head you want a big hp number but it's all bench racing at that point . It put down 350whp or whatever it was and that's the end of the story . Still a pretty strong running car .

330whp?? people are doing more than that stock turbo. my cobalt is super similar, except i’ve got a zfr7163 and i made 430 whp. find yourself a new tuner man, that’s things capable of doing double what it’s making now

I hate when people start trying to say that it’s XXX number to the crank. What really matters is how much you can put to the wheels. And dude saying the 450 HP is the same as a 6.0 with cams AND headers, no just stop dude. Stfu you’re drunk

You dont know what your doing at all on that dyne

You need water meth

Not a fan of zzp
