What about the gen 2 1.4 turbos? Can it be swapped for larger turbo without hurting stock internals?

@cmattdabrat

3 жыл бұрын

@@BLSmith-hh1dx How much hp the stock internals can handle is unknown to me, but I would think around 250 hp, maybe a little more with the ring gaps opened up. For the second gen, with the non LUV, it would be quite easy to make a turbo adapter since the exhaust manifold is built into the head. If yours has the LUV engine, the manifold will be a little more complicated, but nothing that can't be done yourself, or with a buddy that knows how to weld.

Yes definitely, the "turbo kit" includes about 1/4th if what you need most of the time, you're not gonna turbo a car properly for under $1500-$5000

You're absolutely correct! This is what I'd call stage 1 of the build. I spent a total of about $1300. Most of it DIY. Stage 2 it's getting forged pistons, beefier rods, 1200 cc injectors, rotating assembly balanced, ARP hardware, aluminum flywheel, etc. Shooting for 450-500whp and hopefully low 11's or high 10's. I'll continue posting as the build unfolds.

This set up seems way more worthwhile on a sonic with the same 1.8...Nevertheless flawless job and awesome work dood!

Thanks! I’m just more of a fan of how the first gen Cruze looks. The Sonics are cool too. Might do one in the future. But the Cruze has a little more room.

I love the sonic Everytime I see it pass I'm like I would love that car and modded. I love the cruze Also I got a clean 2014 Cruze looks elegant.

I'm sorry you have this engine. just got rid of my Cruze and was the happiest day of my life. I feel bad for anyone who has to deal with this engine

I'm sorry you think this is a 1.4. This is the 1.8. Same engine as the Astra VXR but with a bigger bore.

Good times, I've done several "home grown" turbo setups myself. Since there's no kit for this vehicle, did you fab up the exhaust manifold from scratch? If so make a video out of that too. Good stuff!

Yes!!! I don't think a lot of people get that. Solid motors.

3:03...Correct..alot of people are misinformed about restrictors...you DO NOT want to restrict a journal bearing turbocharger...oil in and out as efficiently as you can...👍 10:23... Good thing you're a good fannaggler...😉

Yes!!! This particular turbo... I don't have a lot of experience with them, has the restrictor built in. LOL, my dad like to call it southern engineering.

I had a Chevy Cruze and you know what ? I loved that little car I had the turbo

They're great lil cars. They have some issues with them that are easy fixes, but they get a bad wrap.

@@cmattdabrat I agree , I believe they were actually Holden isn't ? I bought mine new at Rick Hendrick , and when the new Malibu came out bought that one. And then a new Impala. And now I got a Silverado 1996 !!! Hahaha yup , got rid of all my car bills. Paid and mine love it..

In Australia we have the Holden astra and cruise some come with a 1.8 turbo petrol model you can get one of there manifolds snd turbo set for about $250 on eBay also your oil return runs up hill from what I can see if you have got any smoking issues that’s y return lines should never run up hill unless you have a good quality pump installed to push the oil away
