Damn dude you've done awesome work. Really impressive street tuning too. Can't wait for more!

Still around and working towards the goal of setting some records. Perhaps not as fast moving as I would like at times, but we're getting there.

Niiice! My 1.8L Sonic is on stands right now! I'm in the process of pulling the engine to build it for a turbo. Gonna do forged rods, JE forged pistons, ect. Following your lead!

@ryanmorris5859 3 месяца назад

Love to see it! Been following this build forever (I have a Gen2 Cruze I’ve been modding, but nowhere near this level lol). Nice to see other people still rocking with the Cruze platform, and what you’ve done to yours is absolutely nutty. Looking forward to the dyno numbers, brotha

@cmattdabrat 4 месяца назад

More to come and full pulls. You and me both. Hard to do it safely on the street, but I have some big plans in the works to finally see some numbers.

@johnmoore7902 4 месяца назад

Only 10° of timing too. Thing is going to be nuts

@cmattdabrat 4 месяца назад

Definitely have kept the timing safe and excited for the day I can get it on a dyno and start adding timing to see what it likes.

@SEWFARDOWNUNDER 3 месяца назад

SOUNDS WICKED !.

@BasedEMT1776 4 месяца назад

Have you considered a Dragy to do some 60-130 or top-end pulls? That would tell you a lot about power without having to wait on a dyno and stuff. And it'll let you turn anywhere into a 1/4mi strip. Like "mexico". Keep up the good work man!

@cmattdabrat 4 месяца назад

I have! Need to replace the syncros on 4th gear so I can get my 1:1 ratio back. A draggy is definitely something I'll get in the near future to help dial in my driving. The track is where it's at. Like the difference between watching a movie at home vs going to see something on the big screen. Still want to get the vehicle on a dyno so we can really dial in timing and the horsepower / torque curve. More to come soon.

@BasedEMT1776 4 месяца назад

@@cmattdabrat Not sure how to get into contact with you, but I actually have the older model Dragy I would gladly donate to your cause. It gives me an excuse to upgrade to the new DR70 model too. :)

@jeffboyer8214 4 месяца назад

Eco trans may give longer gears after 2nd gear. But the final drive would be 3.83 I believe. Where the 1.8 trans you have is a closer ratio for road and track setup.

@cmattdabrat 4 месяца назад

That's true! I've been keeping an eye out at the junkyard and hopefully can grab another to have as a spare to try out.

Been waiting for this brother. Love to see it. I'm still down to come give you a hand if you want. My rsx is running and driving now still needs a little wot tuning but I need to get it registered and insured first oh and I've developed an exhaust leak in the header somewhere... Little by little. Hit me up.

@cmattdabrat 4 месяца назад

I really appreciate it! I hear that. When you have a full time gig, time is definitely limited. I'm always down for a helping hand.

@technicallyeco.2751 4 месяца назад

I cannot wait to see ya hit the dyno haha then the track agian. Things needs a stronger transmission like mid plate an ppg or something use a honda transmission if possible.

@nafsucof 4 месяца назад

do you have any guesses power wise where you’ll land? does anyone have a build that you can compare it to? seems like a lot of stuff is in uncharted waters!

@cmattdabrat 4 месяца назад

The 1.6 VXR is the same engine and cylinder head. Do a search for VXR 1.6 stage 4 or was it 5? Anyhow, they're pushing 485hp (if I recall correctly calculated flywheel hp). I would be happy with anything north of 400 whp. Goal is to get the car in the low 11's high 10's.

@adamc457 3 месяца назад

Kind of skipping through vids but have you touched the gear box at all? If anything goes on these it's notorious for killing gear boxes (Made this comment before watching whole video I guessed I answered my own question😅)

@cmattdabrat 7 дней назад

Yup! Upgraded the LSD. Aside from that, it's a stock gearbox. :)

@llaciewick1317 4 месяца назад

Where did you get your head studs from?

@cmattdabrat 4 месяца назад

They're ARP head studs from a SRT-4 Dodge Neon. I had to open up the 9mm threads to 10mm and open the cylinder head bolt holes a little so the studs would pass through and give the oil a way to get to the cylinder head. One of the stud holes passes the oil from the block to the cylinder head.

@Boxodir_505 27 дней назад

Hi Sir, what can you say about the turbo?

@cmattdabrat 7 дней назад

Has been a great turbo. No blow off valve and running 2 years strong.

@MichaelD429 4 месяца назад

I think it's time to put some real tires on it. I know you want to keep it looking stock but the more power you build you know you're going to get wheel slippage
