I love the Z04 upgrades the ZZP team performed. My 2014 Cruze project car is running strong. The HR gains on this super light grocery grabber are perfect for cruising in 72-degree weather... Thanks

Tim at it again! Good work.

Nice little HP/TQ gain. 👍

the outro giving me nfs midnight club vibes and I'm here for it! spooling hard

Love it

What gear was that pull done in? I didn't like my Cruze until i tuned it then a deer said not so fast... my 2020 Equinox 2.0 I absolutely love for all around use and performance Full bolt ons and tune, but a red light runner said nope... So I may be able to fix but not sure yet...😭

Yo does anyone know where to get the blue bumper lights from theyd match my headlights so

Fastest Chevy Cruze I've seen was a 2013 2014 1.8 L non-turbo with a turbo added with the six-speed slap shift automatic at that he's on KZread he went to the track with it and totally whipped up the whole track went back to another track and everybody he raced you whipped up on them too

Idk how people can put more boost into these. My car can barely stay together as it is in stock form LOL

Exactly lol... I've had problems pretty much every 10k miles since it hit 30k. It's a lemon car but I do appreciate the ZZP guys giving it some love and re-engineering everything that could have made this platform respectable. It was marketed as the new Cobalt and US competitor to Honda/Toyota so I was sold on it. Unfortunately 12 years later, there are just better options even if they don't have the same charm the Cruze did

@@SMILEY.45 no doubt. I've dealt with zzp before buying things for my cobalt ss. I'd love to buy their intercooler and piping kit just to get rid of all the plastic crap that is leaking boost on my car, just can not justify spending that much on a car that is constantly falling apart and has zero resale value. I have done the PCv fix, replaced the valve cover, turbocharger, replaced every single component of the evap system and still have evap codes popping up every day. On my 5th waterpump, coolant outlet, thermostat, second cooling fan. Swapped fuel control modules to get bypass the grill vents and this thing still runs hotter than Hades. After even a short drive there is so much pressure in the coolant hoses I'm afraid they are going to pop.

Wondering the same thing. On the website it says it's only for the Sonic but in the reviews section someone posted pictures of a Cruze with front and rear disc brakes. I need to service my brakes soon and I don't want to spend more money on drum brakes if I have the option to switch to disc in the back.

Okay, but at Apple Valley Speedway I could tell after 5 laps the drums weren't keeping up with my 12" front kit. Fortunately the fronts could still stop well enough but I had to run a cool down lap and pop off the track every 10 laps or so. If I had disks back there it would keep me out longer.

Hey I have a 2013 Chevy Cruze and I love it ! It has 144k miles and It runs great but I wanna get an engine upgrade on it too , I have no clue about cars can y’all help ? I want my car to be a lil faster and I want it to last !

The stock engine is very stout, and we've made over 300whp on one. It's around that mark that we would recommend looking into forging the engine.

The automatic transmission version of the 1.4's make somewhere around 30-50whp less than a similarly modded manual trans car. This car is still up over 100whp over the stock turbo and plenty fun.

That's why they are successful, they bring parts to niche car communities so they get ALL of the community. Plus ZZP is ran by older clean car guys with expensive vehicles, not young straight piped kids with bolt on cobalts, so they have a more successful mindset vs having to compete and fight the market on popular platforms.
