Man that car is running 10 times better. Great job!
Heck yeah! Been a long time coming.
Dude I love this build. Been watching since the beginning. Awesome to see you enjoy the car with those pulls. Good stuff man!
That's awesome! Really appreciate it.
Keep up the good work OG. We are all cheering you on 😎💪
Thanks!
It is good to see the car coming along and working right. You will have the record in no time. I'm sure.
Just so you know, my 8th mile record is 8.71
I'm sure he'll be able to top that without a problem.
I appreciate it. It'll be nice to actually get her down the track without issues. That's a really good time!
Honestly seeing the fuel tech and how it is, I am super...super tempted to make the switch on my DSM. The power and inputs alone is a huge deal compared to my 28 year old mitsubishi ECU. Plus that correction feature and interpolation tool...man. Makes tuning a breeze.
Keep up the good work, man. Glad to see you seem to be doing better.
I am currently choosing between haltech and fueltech and am leaning towards fueltech for a couple reasons. the 2 in 1 ecu/display and simplicity compared to haltech. I am very interested in learning to tune and it seems like fueltech would be an easier learning curve compared to haltech. my dsmlink v3 works, but is very limited and could greatly benefit from having a few more i/o's and going to sequential ignition with smart coils.
@@CVasquesDSM I wouldn't really say DSMLink is limited, per se. Kevin Jewer made 1000whp and went like high 7's on it. But there's no question haltech and fueltech are both WAY more robust and have way more options. I'd say not to upgrade unless you need to. Plus with DSMLink there's a ton of Wiki pages, youtube videos, and dudes on both DSMTuners and DSMLink forums that will all help you learn and give advice/tips. Don't jump ship unless you need to, I say!
@@basedemt6608 Kevin actually tuned my car. he did get those numbers on link but he also used a second ecu for to expand his i/o's
@@CVasquesDSM Oh shit, didn't know that. That's my biggest gripe man, is the lack of inputs and outputs. The software can always be tweaked and features added, but the I/O stuff .
Hi I’m new to your channel!! These FT video are SUPER AWRSOME! I’m learning the software my self. Thanks for sharing really appreciate it
FuelTech is some cool stuff.....hopefully someday I will own a car worthy of FuelTech.......great video...not snoozeworthy at all....
I appreciate that! It sure is. A little heavy on the wallet, but has the car running great. Wish I would've done it sooner.
Never been so envious of a Cruze 😍
Thanks!!

I'm super excited for ya bro as I been with ya for a wile now and love seeing this come along to the positive for ya .. and no more cutting out in boost .. hellz yeah booooiii 😅... at this rate you gonna have to find more stuff to add to car cuz you getting this down packed now 😂 .. n e ways peace and love bro keep it rad stay safe and build on l8z fam and have fun and hope the kiddos are doing well .. l8z fam
Keep up the good work man! I’m turboing my 1.8 sonic
Nice! Keep me posted on the progress.
The engine sounds way smoother. FT is very simple to work with and you're pretty much nailing the tune.
It does! It seems very happy. Getting pretty close to having her dialed. Just trying to sort out the wastegate 3 way control. Almost there.
I'm glad I caught this! It's been a while but I'll be following along!
Thanks for continuing to come back.
I am liking the content you are putting out and the improvement we are seeing on the car good job👍
Thank you!
Matt! Wow, so much info on your channel. I own a 1.8L 2013 Sonic, looking to turbocharge it. Thanks for the content man!
Glad you found the channel!
Sounds real good. Great content. Looking forward to your next video.
Thanks! I'll have one up soon.
my man ! i really love your channel , i have a chevrolet chevette with a C20NE (now with turbo K27 and FT450) , you are awesome keep it up !
That's awesome! Thank you!
Pretty awesome man! Haven’t seen many vids on how to actually datalog and make the correction to the ft manager ! Good stuff !
Glad I was able to share!
Hey man, just remembered to check into your channel and build.
You look like youre doing great. Glad to see.
Thanks!
Yeye ive been waiting for more content 🤘. that new ecu goin to be a 🎉
I'll have more soon!
It’s pulling good! Wow
Thanks! It is.
you're a madman, its awesome
Thank you!
Awesome!! Im glad to see you having fun!! I havent been able to keep my car at idle not sure why, I'm going back to the drawing board to see if I can figure it out. I called FT and the guys tried to help me but they couldnt get it to idle.
I feel you on that. Mine tends to like to idle pretty high with the cams, single mass flywheel, clutch, and short runner intake. I had to play with the throttle idle percentage quite a bit. I forget what it called off the top of my head.
@@cmattdabrat FT tried everything but they couldnt get it to idle so Im assuming it could be a vacuum hose lets see tomorrow if I can get it to idle.
Bro, i can already tell that 1.8l is running so much better on the standalone ecu. Its sounds so much better than it did with the stock ecu.
That it does! Happy I decided to pull the trigger.
Hey Matt, I've been watching off and on for this build, and it's come a long way. How are you liking the new turbo? Or will you have a better answer when you get the car properly tuned?
Sounds like it's working good now! And it sounds like traction is a problem 😂
LOL, it's definitely spinning the tires.
Great jop👍🏼💛
Thank you!
Nice
good job buddy
Thanks!
How are you travelling Mat. Its been a while. Hope things are ok.
Looking good bro. Looks like we're getting some cold this weekend and next week shouldn't be too bad for the track. Now that I got my car to start I'm gonna spend some time learning the software and making sure all my settings are right. I still need to find a timing light and get the ft map sensor hooked up. Good luck at the strip this weekend. When are you going maybe I'll make the drive up there
Definitely getting some chilly weather. You're getting close. The software is pretty easy to navigate and lots of good tutorials up. Specially from FuelTech and Broomy's Garage. I went up there last night, but the track was closed. Not sure if the wind knocked the power out or what?
@@cmattdabrat yeah probably it's been really windy the last few days and pushing my truck around. Well unless you go today I guess at least you'll have some extra time to learn some more and refine things a little more before you go to the track
Hell yea bro!
I feel like, FINALLY! LOL
@cmattdabrat mine should start today on fueltech but im going to take it slower than you I dont want to work on it 🤣🤣
Where you at Matt? On tour?
i love your shift knob! where did you get it?
Oh man! I bet on dry pavement it scoots! I wish I could give my LS this treatment lol
LOL! The full rips were on dry pavement. Definitely a great product. Pricey though.
Damn she sounds like she’s running great already!
Thanks! Was pretty easy getting her close to where it needs to be with the FuelTech closed loop O2 correction.
@AndersonDick dá uma luz aqui 😅
Hey I just watched ur video from a year ago and I see u did a video on how to install a Tesla android touchscreen, turn out I had one of those but mine has a problem turning on, do u have any idea on how to turn it on?
Where are you?
Are you still using the stock transmission??
Do you have a write up on this build? I'm thinking of going down the same rabbit hole lol. 2012 1.8 6 speed with 115k on it.
lol, I'll post a video on everything. :)
More boost please 🙏
Working on it. Can't wait to push it close to the high 20's low 30's.
@@cmattdabrat sounds awesome 👌
