Whoops... Had an export issue with the video. Starts at 0:09

[@tuesdaytv]

Just found your channel. When I was 18 I turboed a 2002 OHV Cavalier Sport. Your channel is bringing back a lot of memories and giving me an itch to start a project.

[@cmattdabrat]

Definitely a fun project. You should go for it.

[@802Garage]

This is siiick. I really can't wait to see it put down POWAH!

[@cmattdabrat]

Thanks! Me too. Now just got to save that dyno money lol.

Thanks Jay!

Step by step getting closer to final I'm happy don't get tired 😉😉

[@cmattdabrat]

I appreciate it!

[@johnsnow1355]

The easiest way to attach something to a pipe is weld it on first then make the hole by either using a hole saw or drill and carbide. U will get a way cleaner result and for drilling circular holes with hole saw the part u weld on will be the guide to make a nice hole.

[@cmattdabrat]

True! Didn't have a hole saw though.

[@delatuned]

Looking good!

[@cmattdabrat]

Thanks!

As usual mate enjoy watching your videos. Time to change that rasping exhaust. She's getting there. 😍

[@cmattdabrat]

Thank you! That's one of the next things.

[@the8valveturbo]

Hey Matt, i ended up taking the wrap off mine, as the heat made my manifold crack! hopefully it doesnt make yours crack either!!

[@cmattdabrat]

Where did you get your manifold? Could be a support issue. The weight of the turbo hanging and flexing the turbo manifold itself. This one was made out of schedule 10 stainless tubing, so fingers crossed I don't get a crack issue.

[@w.r.1356]

Hellz yeah brotha ✌🤘✌

[@danssv8]

Have you considered putting that sensor between turbski and throttle body? She might just like it better with your bigger turbski.

[@cmattdabrat]

I have, but from what I've seen, even OEM placement, with the cartridge style, seems like they function best before the turbo. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gmrUpKVmm5Vgqs0 kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHXYp6etbd6Zj7M

[@davesworld2132]

I need to get a better welding set up! What are you using to do aluminum? What type of gas and rods? I have a big non CRUZE project coming up. You inspired me to make an upgrade to my set up.

[@cmattdabrat]

The AC welder I have, is borrowed from a friend. It's a miller. My normal setup is a Jeg's tig. Wish I would have just sprung for their AC set, because I'm super impressed with their DC tig. Rods depend on what I'm welding really. I'm no pro, so I would have to go back and look, but I got the rods from a local welding supply, and I'm just using pure argon. That's awesome! Keep learning, getting better, and looking forward to what the next project is.

Getting soooo close... Maybe a Dremel tool would be Handy with those small cuts.. but nice job tho 👍

[@cmattdabrat]

Not a bad idea!

[@boosted2.4_sky]

4:45.. pretty sure that should be in your intake tube before the throttle body and intake manifold.. even if you're using your MAP sensor for tuning I believe the cold start idle (open loop) is controlled (better) off MAF...never seen it in the intake for the turbocharger 8:20... nothing a flap wheel won't fix👍

[@cmattdabrat]

True on both accounts. The boosted 1.4's come with the MAF before the turbo as well as other models I've see with these cartridge style MAF sensors.

[@802Garage]

Almost all factory MAF are pre turbo that I know of?

[@cmattdabrat]

@@802Garage I agree.

[@trickrick9610]

Hey man, I have a 14 1.8 and was hoping u could answer some questions for me and maybe point me towards the injectors u got or if I really need injectors to run maybe 8psi?

[@cmattdabrat]

Hey! Might need to go to 60# injectors to be on the safe side, but you could always try what you got to see where they cap out.

[@trickrick9610]

@Matthew Chevalier do u have a link for yours? Also why did hp tuners not work for u? My buddy has hp and I was hoping to just use his and not buy another tuner

[@frosty98412]

Can you do speed density with HPT?

[@cmattdabrat]

Absolutely! That's how I've been tuning the car.

[@dan6118]

Have you considered routing the intake behind the front bumper? I can’t remember if there’s even room on these cars.

[@cmattdabrat]

There's not. It has a foam isolator behind it. I'll figure something clever out.

[@TAPATIOPLEASE]

[@sena8895]

Its looking good Matt! 👌 I have a 1.8 myself. Once your done with the built. Would you consider boosting other 1.8 cruzes?

[@cmattdabrat]

I would definitely consider it, or making parts if the EPA doesn't go after me. They would have to be for off-road only use to not get in trouble.

[@sena8895]

[@jyeesing]

Which turbo are you running? Could you share the link for the oil feed line and water lines fittings?

[@cmattdabrat]

It's Maxpeedingrods GT35 with the billet wheel. Link in the description. It's a custom hardline oil feed that I made. Most of the parts are from Motion Raceworks.

[@jyeesing]

I got the original gt3582 from maxpeedingrods and I'm gonna fit it on my 03 wrx wagon. I jus wana get the right fittings so i dont have any oiling issues

[@cmattdabrat]

@@jyeesing I feel you! Here are the specs. I had the same turbo on. The billet wheel is pretty much the same aside from the alloy they use for the hot side. It's almost a stainless steel. Oil feed/inlet: M10*7/16-24 Oil drian/outlet: 2*M8*1.25 Water inlet/outlet: M14* 1.5

[@cmattdabrat]

@@jyeesing I hope that helps. I wish I had recorded more about the feed, but because it was custom, it did take some planing. I honestly don't like how hard it make it to install the turbo. Hopefully those specs will help with a flexible line.

[@AiOinc1]

The Spark and Sonic can have the 1.4, and the Sonic can have the 1.8. I believe the 1.4 and 1.8 share mounts and bell housing design so it would be possible to put this into a Spark and have it absolutely RIP

[@cmattdabrat]

Same bell housing. The mounts are different between chassis. So theoretically, yes. I'm sure if you kept the mounts that came in the Spark, you could drop in a 1.8.
