It then was purchased byHahn Racecraft for their turbo system product development and currentlyholds the record for the fastest ecotec powered solstice boasting over440 hp and a 1/4 mile capable of an et of 11.90.

The car featuresa Hahn Racecraft Stage IV turbo system with 20G turbo. The valve trainhas been upgraded with stiffer springs and retainers to handle the 20+psi of boost on the stock 10.5:1 bottom end.

These ecotec engines have proven to handle double power gains over stock on the stock bottom end.

Thecar features 19inch Konig Privat wheels with Dunlop SP9000 rubber. Ithas 2inch drop eibach sportline springs with matching eibach upgradedsway bars. A stage IV custom clutch setup gets power planted to therear wheels and SSB Big Brakes kit boosts the stopping power.

I love these little cars. Wish we had them here instead of the S2000 and MX5. Very impressive power too. Looks like it has some very strong variable valve timing?

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
    • Hey mate, really appreciate the help. Have been looking pretty extensively myself and was certain they were retro fitted, but then ended up finding a 4 door with what looks like the same side skirts or at least the closest I’ve seen.
