I Made My eBay Turbo Chevy Cruze Sound Like A Ferrari

Moving right along! Exhaust done. Next it's the intercooler and charge pipe! Be sure to subscribe and hit the bell icon so you don't miss out.

[@youngrequest1060]

Any tuning needed for the turbo ? Or was it just slapped on like in the part 1 video

[@cmattdabrat]

@@youngrequest1060 In the later videos I started tuning and was running 8 psi of boost with spikes around 10. It does require tuning with Hp Tuners, at least for my application.

[@beans356]

So I drive a 2015 Sonic 1.8L and this isn't helping me not put a turbo in it... How many miles were on your Cruze before you started the project?

[@cmattdabrat]

@@beans356 LOL, you should go for it. 5-8 psi all day on the stock engine would be fine. Mine had 122k. I put 2k miles on it before I realized I didn't set the PCV up correctly.

[@RazoE]

The human mind cannot comprehend how little interest I have in a Chevy Cruze, but your videos are awesome! Subscribed

[@cmattdabrat]

Thanks! I appreciate it.

[@Firebird400]

I know right lol. I had one for a rental last year and it wasn’t a terrible car , quite comfortable actually.

Thanks JJ! A lot more to come!

I just saw this right now and my car sounds like that , it’s crazy how some mods your making are similar style , that’s dope🤙

That's awesome! Did you see my latest video where I did the stainless 3" exhaust?

[@BabyroqueTV]

@@cmattdabrat I’ll check rn

[@DownwardFour]

Wow there were a lot of exhaust leaks there. I have the same model, I'm curious to see how much boost/power you can make before blowing the pistons.

[@cmattdabrat]

We're about to find out!!! :)

Same. '12 LS manual.

[@johnbooth9957]

What's all wet on the ground under the engine oil or is that a stain on the concrete

[@cmattdabrat]

Probably oil or coolant when I was draining the fluids, and accidentally knocked into the pan.

[@santtu1856]

have you got biltema's welding machine which sounds just like starwars

[@cmattdabrat]

Wait, what?

[@sinformant]

You should check out the aero turbine/ jones turbine straight flow mufflers, they sound amazing and deep on 4cyl cars, no rasp. I've ran one on my cavalier and on my cobalts ss and they sounded amazing. My buddy even ran one on his civic and it was just as deep sounding on his car.

[@cmattdabrat]

Sounds awesome. I'll look into it.

[@wesleybrabant3595]

Nice welds. What did you use ? Love to try this now with my vehicle. Great video. Nothing like the sweet sound of success

[@cmattdabrat]

Thanks! Just a cheap Harbor Freight flux core mig.

[@joshs199]

When I drive me wife's Chevy Cruz. I don't shift until I hit 6500. Or so I wanted to hear that thing bang second on limiter.😁🤘

[@cmattdabrat]

LOL! Too funny. I hope she doesn't know that.

[@joshs199]

@@cmattdabrat 😂 yeah.! I only do that when she's not in the car.

[@pretzeltab1673]

as a mechanic i like u bein diffrant with ur cars but i would hate to service it how bad is it to get the oil filter out?

[@cmattdabrat]

I'm currently fully building the engine. I'm addressing that issue by turning the turbo the other way.

[@QDArt-gj6lb]

What check engine codes did the dash pop up and how did I fix them? Currently planning out my project to do this to my car

[@cmattdabrat]

It was the downstream sensor code. P0141. The fix is to extend the sensor out of the stream some to trick it into thinking the exhaust flow is the same.

[@QDArt-gj6lb]

@@cmattdabrat gotchu. I appreciate it man. Stay strong 💯

[@the_hsg1]

The only issue I have is, when you said I put my cat over here, it should have been in the scrap bin😂

[@cmattdabrat]

LOL! That's where it ended up. Should've got scrape money for it.

[@the_hsg1]

@@cmattdabrat I still have mine from my old truck I’m about to go scrap it😂

[@Thoumillixwinty]

How long before the cruise is complete

[@cmattdabrat]

I'd say a week or two. Just waiting on the machine shop to finish the work, and trying to get my shop situated.

[@Thoumillixwinty]

I'm here waiting like your work, I'm going to strip and tear down my ride as well it's a bigger job but I get it down just want to port the head, manifold and intake cleaner it up a bit in side and put it back together. I'm going to take out my interior and sound seal it after I clean it first is working on housing. I'm a father of three but where making it the best we can.

[@Thoumillixwinty]

Any way to build views I really want to try and build my KZbin channel and get paid.

[@johnsnow1355]

First mod my turbo Cruze is getting is muffler delete!!!!

[@cmattdabrat]

I enjoy the sound of no muffler on a turbo car. You can probably see the progress as things go more race oriented. Still a street car, but at some point, this thing will be stripped, and all weight moved before the front wheels (fuel tank, exhaust, etc).

[@barcodescortez6836]

So how much have you spent so far other then 113 for the turbo.? And included with the turbo.

[@cmattdabrat]

At, what I'm calling Stage or Phase 1, $1,300, all in. Most expensive part was HPTuners. That alone was half of the expense.

[@williemickbillie]

Some of the ugliest welds but good job man great video and cool project

[@cmattdabrat]

Thanks! Yeah, flux core mig welding is the worst.

[@joshneal2920]

what brand turbo is that? looks like my maxpeeding t04e just curious cause I also spent about $115 shipped LOL Gonna go on my 2.5L Sentra SER SpecV

A turbo’s worst enemy is a catalytic converter. I’m from Florida so we don’t do emissions or anything but man, I hope the cat is just temporary. You lose sooooo much power having the cat

[@cmattdabrat]

Some truth to that. Guess it depends on if a few horsepower more is worth the smell of gas coming out the tailpipe. I've ran cars both ways. Being that this is a daily, I didn't want the smell.

[@randalambrose3448]

all your work is impressive, but those welds though...

factory injectors?

60# currently, but moving up to 114# 1200cc injectors.

Never dyno it. But estimate around 200hp to the crank.

[@sniperlife125forlife2]

I'm wondering if that turbo will blow up since its from eBay 😂

[@cmattdabrat]

LOL... they're journal bearing turbos, which aren't too difficult for the Chinese to manufacture. There's plenty of side by side videos on KZbin the show the difference, if any of these Garrett clones. People have gone 3 years beating on them, and they hold up great. Just check out the boostedboiz channel.

[@sniperlife125forlife2]

@@cmattdabrat what's the best cheap turbo you recommend for a v8 🤔

[@cmattdabrat]

@@sniperlife125forlife2 That really depends on your power goals, cubic size of the V8, and RPMs you want boost to kick in at.

Is your exhaust still stock?

[@dufflebagboyz813]

Matthew Chevalier nope. took out the resonator and Muffler, i'm about to go catless soon, though i'm worried that, that little bit of pressure from my cats is what let's me pop :/ i only pop around 3k-4k since my limiter is at 4k.
