Good to see you back and positive things happen. Persistence with your cruze seems to be paying off now. Would like to see some power figures or timed runs. Looks and sounds like it's driving great now. A real credit to you.

[@cmattdabrat]

Thank you! I'm looking forward to it as well. Still so many goals I want to accomplish with this Cruze, so much more to come.

[@johnsnow1355]

[@dylanandersen9318]

You're really changing my mind about these cars. It's so cool that you're making this car such a beast

[@cmattdabrat]

The engines are a really great platform. Only thing I really see needing some sort of upgrade is the main caps, in which at some point I'll make some billet caps. Aside from that, great flowing head VVT, GM / Opel really has a good engine here that's overlooked.

[@williamkirby9191]

So glad to see you posting this vid! You're one of my favorite youtuber's and I wish nothing but the best for you man! Everything looks extremely clean and very well explained, I've watched since the inception of the cruze!

Very clean installation, it's sounds amazing! Awesome job. God bless you!

Thank you and God bless!

[@Logan_McAllister]

Please never stop making videos on this cruze. Please also make a video explaining what’s generally needed to boost a 1.8l cruze reliably as in my searches I have found almost no answers. I get sooooo excited whenever I see you have a new video on this thang out. I want my cruze to be a beast too😰

[@cmattdabrat]

More to come! Be sure to check out my previous videos. I walk through how I got it to this point step by step.

[@jay1185]

Absolutely awesome update! I've been anxiously waiting and hoping that you've been doing alright, brother. I've learned a few new things about our 1.8L lately and am gonna be attempting to put my own mild turbo setup together soon. I have to do mine piece by piece, though. Keep it up, stay positive and I hope to see some timed runs in the future! :)

[@cmattdabrat]

I appreciate the positive words! Keep me updated on the build. Definitely is a process piecing things together, but if you have any questions let me know.

If you hit overboost, you need an upgraded electronic boost control solenoid. Helps keep the boost at target.

[@cmattdabrat]

I have a boost control but had the duty cycle set too high. This the first time I've really got into it aside from some pulls to data log and street tune the vehicle. We're getting there.

Matthew... You have such a brilliant mind. It is amazing to see such content from you. I shared this video with a dear friend of mine and we both own cruzes. We are amazed with what work youve performed over such a period of time it is like no other. You might be the fastest cruze owner in the world... besides that V8 engine swap nonsense... This is something else. You look well, continue on and look forward. You truly are shining. Take care, Spenny

When a video does well and trolls come in knowing nothing about the build. I bet you think it's the 1.4. Now that's the hilarious part 🤣

[@scottc78]

Getting a good quarter mile run or two in while logging, and weighing your car, might eliminate the need to dyno for now. Quarter mile mph will be a bit better judge of power anyway. Never know with some dyno shops. Great progress, and fun to see you get to enjoy the car.

[@cmattdabrat]

Thanks! Not sure how the tires will hold at the track, but you do have a great point. I'd still like to get it on the dyno to see what it likes for timing, as well as tuning the VVT.

[@technicallyeco.2751]

Probably best the best 2step for ecotecs

[@jordanwickert2569]

Sonics, Cruze and Camaro's come with flat foot shifing in the OEM tune. Set your minimum mph and minimum throttle % and done. You still have to clutch it but shifts pretty quick.

[@cmattdabrat]

Yes, and no. I've used the stock flat foot and launch control setting. It cuts fuel instead of ignition, and has a very slow recovery. I tested it with my setup and doesn't build boost off the line. Maybe a great option for NA though.

[@mastercricket7626]

rad brotha , my standalone has all this in it but this is great informative for ppl use there stock or modded ecu and also great for my secret future build if i can find all the parts needed to make it happen as i have looked and looked and can not find anyone doing the next build i am ...... but i am super happy to see ya back posting and seaming to be in good spirits ,wish we was closer as would love to do some friendly racing with ya but anyways great vid brotha and really good for anyone trying to learn and or make there dbw preform top notch ... l8er my brotha much love and respect .. peace and love fam keep it rad stay safe and build on ... l8z .... ps how do you like the ecotec platform? and have you heard of zzp?

[@cmattdabrat]

I made mine kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWfNZaGYn9uhd5Y I've thought about making them for sale, but once everyone started getting hit with EPA fines, I backed off. I still may offer them for sale in the future, but I'd have to make sure I have a process in place where I can confirm they'll be for "off road use" only.

Glad to see you back up and running! Do you know if this will work with a BNR tuned 1.4 Cruze or can BNR tune this in? Kinda new to all this tuning stuff.

That thing sounds nuts! Haha gotta love it can’t wait to see this thing at the track but I’d definitely be careful about snapping axles launching on 11 psi 😂 I mean it’d be a fun time but not for a long time.

[@acetwotimez4029]

Hello. Do I have to have coil on plugs for this to work or can it be wired to the injectors also?

[@cmattdabrat]

If you have EFI, it'll work with either the fuel injection or ignition. I opted to do ignition to get the turbo to spool. The stock ECU on my vehicle has a built in fuel cut, launch control, but doesn't build boost and is pretty lazy on the recovery.

[@talalhz9137]

Long time no see ✔💯🚗⭐👨‍🔧🚘

[@cmattdabrat]

:)

[@8SecSleeper]

Just wanted to warn you of the danger when using a aftermarket 2 step. Your not able to control the timing when activating it, like you would be able to when using a aftermarket ecu or a modified stock ecu firmware. Which means you need to pay special attention to the timing in the area the WOT box is activated. Ideally I like to pull 12 - 15 degrees timing on the 2 step.

[@cmattdabrat]

Thank you for the heads up. I'll have to do a data log and take a look at what the timing is doing.

[@8SecSleeper]

@@cmattdabrat The big problem comes when you set the two step at a reasonable rpm like 3000-4000 rpm. Where it wouldn't normally make boost. It can have crazy timing there.
