Something to note: Keep in mind that I'm just a normal guy who loves cars. I'm not a trained mechanic, although my father was. If something interesting car wise comes up, I try to film it and upload it for entertainment and the "look at what I done" factor. Pat me on the back, or give me a "good game" pat on the butt. These videos are meant to inspire other DIYers. Working on cars can be dangerous, even life threatening, if the proper cautionary measurements aren't taken. You also run the risk of damaging your vehicle and or voiding your warranty. If for any reason you feel like the job is too big to handle, I would suggest consulting with a professional mechanic.

The intercooler and charge pipe are going in!!!
Yess. I've been waiting for this video!
Many more to come! (missed this comment lol)
@@cmattdabrat if you are intersted in a louder/ cooler sounding bov insert, I have designed a couple that I modeled up in cad and made for my ssqv. they blow the ones hks offers out of the water. One sounds like an eagle screech at low boost/ shifts, the other is just a louder whoosh with a high pitched screech. They fit in just like the factory insert.
@@sinformant Nice! Where could we find them?
@@cmattdabrat if you have instagram you can add me and dm me on there my username is joezombies84. Give me some info and ill make some and send them. Just found your channel and started binge watching the progress on the cruze.
Finally! I have been looking for this so long... Guess I am about to do that on my 1.8l, this engine is weak for chevy cruze. I'm from Brazil, thanks for motivate me
Some one had to do it! LOL! I'm glad it's inspiring you. I'll keep posting as things unfold.
Nice soldering skills.
THanks! I'm mediocre at best. lol
@@cmattdabrat Believe me... I've seen a lot worse from people who claim to know what they're doing. ;)
nice upload Matthew Chevalier. I broke the thumbs up on your video. Keep on up the wonderful work.
Thanks! I appreciate it.
John wick is looking kinda weird
lol
High quality videos. I really enjoy them. You do a good job explaining the processes and parts. 👍🏿
I appreciate that!
My car runs at 215degrees and will touch 221 but never over head can I put this inter cookies on and not have everything you had like the turbo lol and I really wanna buy internals for this car but I don’t even know where you went for the cam I’m in Tulsa and I want a cam and valves and manifold and a good oil pump what would you suggest and not break my bank or do you have any parts that would work for mine that’s stock rn it just has cosmetics hmu on here or I can email you 🙏🏿 really wanna be faster and get a tune I’ll drive to you no cap
Do you have the 1.8 Cruze?
@@cmattdabrat yessir
I havnt seen any of the new videos but that idle surge is probably because the maf is before the turbo rather than after
We'll get it all sorted out. GM puts their MAF sensors before the turbo. I just didn't have a long enough path for the air to really straighten out to get an accurate reading.
God I hate that you dedicated this amazing fabrication to a Cruze but I’m sure glad you recorded it
It wont be the last build I do, BUT, the current built engine I'm doing will be pretty sick for this car. Wolf in sheep's clothing.
@@cmattdabrat I’m excited for anything you do man, you’re a natural with the camera and you have the fabrication skills to make things happen. Looking forward to watching this channel grow.
Does the intercooler mount behind the bottom grill where you can see it?
It does! Check out my latest video. Upgraded the entire car.
Rust free Texas car so easy to work on!
For an 11 year old car (at the time of filming), no complaints here. Heck, the under carriage is hardly even dirty with 122k miles driving in rain, etc.
Wow in England that 1.8 engine is in Vauxhall Astra/ vectra /Zafira
Yes! England definitely has some killer parts for them, not so much here.
Is it automatic? just started watching the last vide..lol
lol... it's a 6 speed manual. M32 trans.
@@cmattdabrat I'm truly hopeful now. But changing the injectors and no "kit" how are you going to tune it? .
@@whitetrashbandit2704 Nice! With HPTuners.
Going to have to be tuned
Yup. Tuned it with HPTuners.
How much was the total cost?
$700-$800 in parts. HpTuners was the biggest expense at $550.
@Matthew chevalier
Can I do this to a 2018 chevy malibu 1.5? It looks like the same kind of engine what do you think?
Definitely could. You'll just need to find, or make an exhaust manifold, install charge pipe, larger injectors, and tune it. A lot of times the tuning solution can be the toughest part.
Are you not worried abut the compression of the z18xer, at 10.5:1 its quite high.
Not really. Just makes for more power ;) I wont be able to run as much advance, but the car like it just fine with about 5º pulled. Once I put e85 in, I could easily start advancing the timing and it liked it quite a bit.
What did you do with the map sensor right before the throttle body?
Before the turbo like a stock setup would be.
haha those c clamps are the worst on those HKS style BOV's... I prefer the weld on deal since it works with others too. I changed mine up originally to a 360* shatter valve style. sounded more like an air brake let off next to you.
Tell me about it! I fought the thing for at least an hour. Ended up shaving the c-clip thickness a little. Now I'm not even sure I'm that big of a HKS sound... fan... lol
@@cmattdabrat yea I agree on that! The other style is like 10x louder too! But still fun to listen too either way. And let off right next to other people’s car windows
That piece breaking off the wiring from above the fan is normal. All of mine is missing.
That's true. I just need to replace it with some fresh wiring loom cover, or whatever they call it. lol
Awesome work man. I have the diesel cruze but now i am thinking to take the 1.8 and put 4 throttle to it.
Thanks! I think the 1.8 definitely needs some love. The 1.4 sounds appealing. I had one, but bought a 1.8 with the goals of adding a turbo and seeing what it can do since no ones done it.
This has inspired me to turbo my 1.8 astra coupe🤙🏼 Good work mate
Nice! They're a solid platform. Not sure whey these don't have more support.
@@cmattdabrat I agree, sad It's so little support
thanks keanu great video
lol, thanks
That’s bad ass, love seeing turbo build/installs
Thanks! More to come.
hello!! Woooo you are a genius i want to do all that in my chevy sonic
You should!
this guy is turbo jesus
lol, thanks
Gingium vibes
Thanks!
Hi
Howdy!
The cruze is pretty dam underrated
I agree. Definitely not enough love.
Most definitely, I need so much help for my Chevy Cruze 2011 1.4 turbo
@@robertomendoza5576 What are the plans?
Matthew Chevalier well to start I want to add a turbo a good turbo to reach that 350whp + and a turbo with low lag and of course I’ve been trying to research wath good fuel injectors would be good after that turbo upgrade and I reallly want a good intercooler and I was looking zzp intercoolers but they out of stock for the Chevy Cruze model so I’m kinda bummed out since I heard so many good things about them and then I do want to put a k&n air intake and change the exhaust system with a performance based header that can allow good flow but after all the turbo and and intercooler and fuel injectors and lastly the time
@@robertomendoza5576 I'm swapping to a set of #133 1400cc injectors. Semens Deka makes great sets that drop right in for around 175-$200. BorgWarner makes some nice turbos. You might want to consider a dual scroll, or maybe even a sequential setup. To get to 350+whp you'll need a pretty good sized turbo, but the larger you go, without some sort of trick setup, there will be some lag. I'm ditching the air to Air Intercooler idea because there will be way too long of a charge pipe routing for me cause my intake / throttle body is on the other side. So I'm getting a $300 water to Air Intercooler setup good for 600hp, and will pretty much be a straight shot from the turbo to the throttle body. There's enough space in front of our radiators for a large radiator to cool the water to air setup. I'll have one in my possession in the near future and will give a run down of how it'll work.
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Thanks for the support!
Curious, do you think the stock injectors can deliver enough fuel? I'm intrigued!
The stock injectors flow 27.5 lb/h so no, especially because as boost increases pressure delta across the injector drops.
I have some 60# injectors I'm tossing in. Next video!
@@JoshVC You're right about that. I'm sure the ZZP #60 will work. Hopefully on e85 as well!
@@cmattdabrat Depending on your ECU, you might wanna have a look at installing a flex sensor. I installed one on my cruze fairly easily with an e78 ecu. Would be great for you to be able to change fuels without changing tunes :)
How much boost are you planning on running and what power do expect to get. Very interested in how things work out 👍🏾
I'm initially going to run wastegate which it's set around 7-8 psi, and go from there. See how things hold up.
