Hey guys just wanted to share a few pics and a quick general review of the Hellion street sleeper kit i just installed on my car in case some are thinking about purchasing it. Not sponsored by anyone i paid for it out of my own pocket haha, will give a shout out to my boy Jeff Grey at hellhorseperformance.com though he is a great vendor and whom i purchased the kit from and have gotten lots of other goodies through for my stang. I was previously Procharged since April earlier in the year and enjoyed it very much but have always been a turbo guy at heart with previous cars I've owned and always thought about doing a twin turbo setup one day. So when i saw the new kit from hellion and that it was an affordable option without a crazy wait time i jumped at the opportunity to change up my method of boost delivery. I know there are other turbo kits out there and some perform really well but i also like to look at the overall kit and how it flows aesthetically with the car as well, i didn't want a weird looking goofy intercooler or something that looks out of place. I think the top mounted Hellion kit for the S550 is one of the cleanest on the market and this bottom mount one is no exception.
I already have a fore dual pump return fuel system along with ID1000 injectors installed with my procharger and previously tuned by Rob at PBD. So with my street sleeper kit all i opted for was just the blackout package and the precision 6266 turbos which are beauties btw. Once the order was placed i received the inter-cooler core drop shipped in about a weeks time, then a few days later the turbos arrived from Precision, and then about a week after that the rest of the full kit came from in from Hellion so little less than 3 weeks total.
With that being said the packaging from Hellion was top notch, every little part, nut, bolt, washer was labeled and individually wrapped in its own plastic sleeve so that was a pleasant surprise that made the install process much easier and go smoothly. Also they include a CD rom with step by step instructions. The only part with the instructions is they could have been a little more descriptive on some steps but overall with any mechanical skill shouldn't be to difficult to follow. I was able to install the kit in my garage on jack stands, just working on it a few hours after work in the evening for about a week straight. I would say the whole process is about a 10-12 hour job once stock headers are back in place. Overall the kit is veryyyyy well thought out and engineered in my opinion and tucks up nicely. My car is pretty low on coilovers and 30 series 19" tires and i think it should be fine still. The intercooler black powdercoat is smooth and seems very thick and durable. One of my favorite things that i originally did not know before purchasing is the scavenge pump for the oil return is actually mechanically driven and sits on a bracket in front of the motor and driven by the crank pulling the oil back up from the small tank the turbos drain into that is bolted right under transmission, pretty slick setup. All the piping is stainless and welded up very well. Everything fit together and went together with no surprises.
Loaded up the base tune from Rob last night and got the car started up with everything looking good and functioning how it is intended with no leaks! Will be installing the rest of my exhaust today and go for a test drive and probably hit the dyno in a week or so and can post the results then. So here are some pictures, thanks!
