[@charleslowe522]

Thanks for the sharing. I'm going to use an ebay turbo on 2000 Buick Regal GSE. Right now I have a supercharger, getting ready to replace it with a turbo. I have a Precision TE44, from 2008. I paid over $800 for it then and I had to have it rebuilt Since then, I've put maybe 1k miles on it. I would use it for my build, but I'm a little concerned that a seal is leaking and the rebuild the turbo would cost more than buying an ebay turbo.

[@cmattdabrat]

[@AdamAlmostGaming]

Matthew Chevalier the le2 vs the luv in the cruze turbo charged world is completely different. The 1.4 cruze (18 19) come stock with fully forged internals, they’re direct injection with oversized injectors, bigger displacement, differences bore and stroke, aluminum block and head. And no manifold just a single “port” out the head to a weird t3 flange. What I’m getting at is, I’m looking to get this exact turbo. With it being an extremely easy conversation, is there any tips that would you give for a gen 2 cruze owner with this turbo?

[@cmattdabrat]

Hey Adam. My advice for the LE2, because it's so new (hell the LUV, and the LWE/LUW are barely have a ton of support, especially the 1.8 LWE/ LUW and it's taken 10 years for people to really start making aftermarket support) is I would find someone that could CNC an adapter going from the single exhaust port flange to a t3 turbo flange. You could even buy a gasket for the turbo manifold LE2 and a T3 manifold (about $35-$40 for both) 1/2 piece of steel and work your way to blending the two types together. If that makes sense. It can be done, but you have to get creative with it. You will also need to figure out if ditching the stock turbo, what lines you'll be removing ... vacuum lines, PCV, etc and rethink the system to make it work, and / or turn off a few things via tuning. If you want it to be street legal and pass inspection everything will have to function emissions wise as intended.

[@charleslowe522]

I need to look at that LE2 motor. Never really paid attention to it. I've always been more of an iron block guy, but with new casting techniques and materials I'm sure the aluminum block will hold up just fine.

[@charleslowe522]

Wow, the LE2 look to be the easier of the two engines to swap turbos. Good luck. You may want to consider running E-85 if it's available in your area. That is if you can tune and unlock the tables.

You could. A lot of it depends on if you did a twin setup, or single. These turbos are good for 420-600hp. On a stock waste gate spring, you would be looking at around 8 psi. More than likely a 30-50% gain depending on how it's setup.

The GT35 would work well. Your power band would be in the higher RPMs 5000+. I'm building a max effort engine. The size of the turbo will depend on horsepower goals, and RPM range you want that power.The more you mod a car, the more issues it'll have, but it's part of hotrodding.

To keep the reliability, I would opt for some forged pistons with the piston rings gapped properly for more boost. You would also need a tune so the AFR is happy as well.
