The Fastest Sonic EVER // 430+ WHP Drag Sonic Breakdown 

When will the control arms be back in stock?

Wish y'all would make more products for the Gen2 Cruze. .

Ive been trying to find someone that makes a turbo manifold

Quick question, what fuel pump are you guys running?

Stock trans gear set tho? Wow

Sonic the hedgehog

They should hire you. lol

@@beastumfan And a forced induction/high output Ranger should only ever be called a Power Ranger.

Chevy should go more tuner like the jdm cars

It could seriously compete with the other tuner cars, especially with the way they're going right now. Unfortunate that Chevy killed the poor sonic

You end up doing this? How is it for a daily?

Glad you enjoyed it!

🤘🤘🤘

I love having my Sonic for the fun curvy highways we have in western Montana. I have a 1.4 6 speed

why not turbo the 1.8 and see what happens?

@@andybobandy675 I spoke with a friend of mine who happens to be a bit more informed than myself, and he seemed to think It may be best to swap engines. 🤷‍♂️

@@christopherballenger-brook4027 as said in one of zzp's livestreams they say for the 1.8 to look in europe for parts they are under the similar banner as in same bore and stroke as the Z18XER (this is the well known engine code for modifying these 1.8's especially in britain) the aveos (sonics) in america have the LUW and LWE named U18XFR and P18XER respectivly. Here in australia we got the barinas (sonics) with a 1.6 known as the f16d4 these engines are basically the a16let engine from the from the cruze sri v from memory that motor is a revision of the z16let the differences is basically emissions based one is euro 4 and the other is euro 5 seeing as the 1.6 is easy to get forged parts for it is tempting the clutches are probabbly the same as well seeing as the m32 is still used. for 1.8 content i would go and look at Matthew Chevalier as he is building a cruze 1.8 with a turbo. EDIT here is a turbo z18xer if you want to have a look ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-381GHZYrd-M.html&ab_channel=NathanDrury

I’d love an update on the awd sonic too

Blue Sonic is still kicking, it's testing our new production turbo currently and 3" exhaust. Was at the track Friday, no AWD yet, we'll probably pick that project back up this winter.

@@gbrunner24 thanks for the update!!

@@gbrunner24 when will the 3inch exhaust be coming out?

@@wildchild7122 Hopefully before the end of the year, but that's a real rough ETA. We have the final production version on our blue auto Sonic currently, jigs are made, just need to fit it into the production schedule.

Exactly. I just picked up a 2019 by surprise drove it and it just switches through lanes on people haha. Stupid fun stock so imagine 200-300 hp.

Ill buy the mach 1 lol

We are hoping to have them in stock before the end of the year. Fab team is getting caught up for Black Friday and can hopefully get some done. We've been so backed up on work orders this year they haven't had time to work on products like the control arms.

@@gbrunner24 trow me a bone 🦴 free mood 🙌👌1.8 sonic

Nitrous is a fantastic power adder for nearly any engine, however, you have to have the right controllers and safe guards in place to keep it safe and happy.

Should be in line with our w-body coilover pricing that we have already released!

Check out our current Cruze auto build series! The auto, while not as much fun as the manual, is still very mod-able; I wouldn't let that stop you. Manual trans swap is possible, but you'll need to raid a junkyard car or buy a parts car to complete it, it's quite a thorough process.

The transmission failures were more of my fault than the actual power. Worn synchros and teeth on gears gave us some issues, but we haven't broken anything from pure power. Check out our engine breakdown video that we did. We're making nearly 600whp now and our last failure was the aftermarket LSD and aftermarket flywheel. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VDxIB0Pj2bQ.html&ab_channel=ZZPerformance

Was just out at the track on Friday. No AWD swap yet, we'll probably pick that back up this winter.

We just added a pinned comment with the full list of mods!

The auto isn't awful, however they make about 40-50whp less than the manuals on a comparable setup. We're drag racing one of the shop autos currently with our new production turbo, going well so far.

It currently has an MZO transmission in it with the RS final drive. Perfect setup for the 1/4.

The FSCM could not supply enough current to run the pump(s) needed to supply 80psi at this power level (high fuel volume).

Message us at customerservice@zzperformance.com with your issues and we can help you out.

Sounds like a ground issue to me, check over all the ones in the engine bay, make sure the paint underneath is not rusted.

Vauxhall Corsa, Vauxhall Astra, Vauxhall Meriva B, Holden Trax, Vauxhall Ampera,and Vauxhall Zafira Tourer. It was also referred to as the A14X/A14N series overseas.

@@ZZPerformanceChannel Cheers mate

Yes

M32 which is the stock 6 speed in the Sonic. We specifically have an MZO M32 out of a 1.8 Chevy Cruze.

To run a slick this size there is no way to keep it all in the fender. Even at the current size we have to have a spacer to get it away from the coilover.

I’ve done this to my 1.8 turbo Cruze! It works, got a 6t45 in

We have an auto Sonic that we are beginning to race with as well. It has our new production turbo on it. We won't be going all out like the black car, but it's good to compare. We have noticed that they make about 50whp less on a comparable setup, which is unfortunate.

Our very own Al McClure does all the tuning for the drag Sonic.

@@ZZPerformanceChannel wish I was closer. I need a tuner for my Toyota build lol.

We have a few products in development for the Gen 2 Cruze currently! Idk how far we will go with that platform, but we should have some products soon enough.

@Tyler Vogt go far! Id love to push my 1.4t, to about 300whp for a daily

Hopefully before the end of the year, but it's all going to depend on the work load in our fabrication department. They just got some Grand Prix ones done.

They can be a ton of fun, but definitely have their quirks. If you keep on top of the PCV and coolant systems then they can last a long time and make some good power on the stock engine.

I bought a 2017 1.4 rebuilt title for cheap as project car for my kid and I. Don't know if it is worth it, but looks fun to mess around with.

Yes 1.4L LUV/LUJ. Stock block, stock crank, forged rods, forged pistons, valve springs, ZZP cams, and ZZP head studs.

Its fastest time so far is 11.4.

Nope

On this car? .015"

@@gbrunner24 yes on the black sonic! Awesome to see its just on the coil pack and no ls7 coil upgrade!

@@daltonclemmons6314 We tested the LS7's back in the day and they made such little difference it wasn't worth developing a kit, and passing that extra cost to customers.

That's the plan for now! Hoping to go sub 10 in the next year.

@@ZZPerformanceChannel Awesome stuff. I'd like upgrade my Cruze to 300whp and that would be plenty for the street. In addition I have 2000 Regal GS with all kinds of goodies, including A2W IC, E85, supercharger CAM(?) and 2.55" pulley with ZPP headers and some kind of dual exhaust setup. I have the N* throttle body with larger MAF sensor. A stage 2 transmission build from some company. Car it certainly a lot faster than stock as it ran 12.80 in the 1/4 mile with the 2.77" pulley. I need to learn how to tune. Then I have a 1986 Buick Grand National, with aftermarket heads and bottom end and fully built race transmission. Now that I spent all the money building up my Grand National, I am afraid to break it now that's why I got the 2000 Regal GS. Although my current setup on my Grand National should allow me to run 10s all day long. It has a 6265 Precision turbo and a massive aftermarket SLIC which still coolest just a good as a front mount. Hopefully I can modify my Cruze to the point of 300whp. However, give that it is an automatic trans, I am not sure if that is possible. Finally I have a 2019 Ford F150, with the 2.7L twin turbo v6. The little v6 puts out plenty of power and I have towed at least 6000 lbs with no issue, the engine didn't even break a sweat.

😂😂 If there's enough interest for a tubular manifold for the 1.4's we may make one in the future, however our next turbo is going to be more than enough power potential for 90% of all Sonic owners.

@@gbrunner24 i was just curious if that would fix back pressure problem.

Ditto
