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.

LS Coil Upgrade underway! Keep an eye out for part 2!
Hey I heard you say you seen a video of someone doing this to the 1.4T can you drop a link to that video
Impatiently waiting to see how it runs when you get it back together. Thanks for the update 👍👍
You and me both! Trying to keep my patience and anxiety down with getting it up and running with the changes I'm making.
Should have got some of motion race works firewall relocation bracket for the ls!! Then order make your own plug wire kit! Route the wires out of the fold over area tucked down and to wherever you mount the bracket to mount the coils! Don’t have to be on firewall! Have the 3.5ft extension harness is nice to. Also i know it’s an old video but thought id say it for future use.
Running same coil kit, at .16 gap on my 407whp spark! Have never failed me coils are from an old cavalier build i did! Had spark cut back in the beginning of tuning and under load on dyno gm says gap them at 31 i thought it was to big so i gapped them to 23. Then had bad spark blow out thought it was from being so large so we took them to 34 and it still was worse! Finally took them to 16 and it was money!! Also pistons showed no wear like yours. Car has 24,029 miles. Blew up the motor at 18k miles it got all the forged goodies in the bottom end, diamond pistons, custom made aluminum rods… Darton dry sleeves. Milled block surface, .05 milled heads to 2 thousandths before max cut! Has a set of custom ground big big camshafts with insane overlap at certain rpm it’s got a 6266 precision turbo! I have tracked the car since it was new. Ran 388!passes plus 6700 in city driving!! And noticed some smoke was coming out. Checked oil limped home but now we are shooting for mid 500s with a 75hp nitrous jet to get it in the 2 step on the line frome the turbo laggy! I and as a added bonus for extra power when needed we ended up makeing another90 hp
Great idea!
Mannnn. That's gonna look SO FREAKIN AWESOME!!!
Thanks! I'm trying to be patient. So ready to have her up and running again but it'll be well worth the wait once I have everything done I want to do to it.
@@cmattdabrat Yessir! Patience and attention to detail when pioneering! :)
@@jay1185 True that! :)
Man! I watch your screen printing videos, i never knew you do cruze videos too😁 i myself have the Cruze LTZ..does this also work on the 1.4T
LOL, welcome to the car channel. I've been working on my Cruze for fun, and it's a nice change of pace. Another passion of mine. This will work for the 1.4 as well, but the coil cover plate and spacing will be a little different.
I need help with getting a manifold made. Do you make them to sale? Maybe point me in a direction with some advice on specs of yours
Hey Austin. I plan to make some next year once I get my car up and going since I'll have the jigs to make them. Hang tight. Aside from that, if you want to make one you would have to take your current exhaust manifold off give it a try.
Could you not go with the aluminium valve cover off the 1.8 turbo astra eco tech?
I'm sure you could, but this was way more fun to make.
With that much heat from those coils and that much boost, predetonation sounds like a major problem you're going to have to deal with. Are you running a cooler plug? With 20psi of boost, how can those injectors keep up without you running super lean?
I'm running a cooler plug. The injectors that are going in are 1050x injector dynamic units.
Hi Matt me again
As are engines have similar coil packs. Any chance I could get a simple wire diagram. As I think I can use the same idea with Toyota Corolla/Yaris coils on my Z20LEH?
Be sure to check out the link I sent you. I followed it very closely and it helped a lot.
@@cmattdabrat yeah thats great ours has less pins but the diagram helped and it's something we are looking into with one of the traders on Z20LET lovers
I have one question regarding 1.8 transmission fluid drain and refill, is it really impossible to change drain and refill the transmission fluid for cruze 1.8 gasoline engine, is there any significant danger or issue if I will do the fluid change? Thank you much!
Easiest way is to drain the fluid into or pour it into a container with graduated measurements. Refill the same exact amount that comes out. Around 5.5 quarts from what I remember.
Otherwise you have to be able to read the trans temp.
The transmission is meant to be serviced. There is a drain plug, and a fill plug. Google Chevy Cruze 1.8 drain and fill plug. Remove the plug, let it drain, reinstall the plug, open the fill plug, get the proper gear oil / weight, and amount needed to top it off. Start filling the gear box until it starts leaking out of the fill hole. Replace the fill plug and done. Pretty simple process but you will need a couple tools. It'll take you about 10-15 minutes.
@@cmattdabrat Thank you Mr. Matthew for the great information, actually im here in Doha Qatar and working with same company with Chevy but in logistics, I will try to ask our quick service for a drain and refill of my trans fluid, I hope there will be no issue after the refill because I think they didnt change the fluid from the first time the car was bought and everytime im asking our mechanic they are always saying that no need to change the ATF as its a lifetime fluid, by the way I bought the car secondhand from our pre owned showroom. Thank you.
I did that on my 3.6l V6 on my Malibu. they lasted 6 months. i wound up changing them all out one by one. then replaced them back to stock. they all crapped out on me. They where made by Jegs
I've heard the best ones to stag up are stock GM's from the scrapyard. Might grab some up. Thanks for the feedback!
Love my LS coils. Let's me gap down and no spark blowout at 26psi and e85
Nice! What gap are you running?
@@cmattdabrat .020 on stock ac delco iridiums
@@eddiefromcali Nice, thanks for sharing.
On what engine? My 1.4t makes 26psi of boost stock.
Look to do a turbo on my 18 impala
Nice! Should make some awesome power.
Hi please how much the resistance of these coil
I’m not sure. I’ll have to check.
What trubo did you use
I'm currently going to run a GT35
I need the plug parts number please
Honestly I think u could just put the ls coils on the stock spark plug boots standing up and save all the work of a cover plate.
You have a good point. Still a work in progress and everyone thinks a little differently.
Will the transmission be able to take the power without going out ???
It'll hold up fine if you're not revving the engine and dumping the clutch from a stand still / dig. The biggest issue with these transmissions is the 1 to 2 shift. They tend to grind gears at high RPMs.
If 1 and 2 is weak ID say 3 wot is safer so no Drag racing but Roll racing yeah.
@@dannyjr7997 6th is the weak gear because of the bearing setup, from my understanding. Only issue with 1st is it's kinda a turd. The 1-2 shifts aren't great, but once you're in 2nd it's haul city.
The coils don't have to be in order to get better angles on the plug wires
That's true, but just looks cleaner.
You should be Neo from the Matrix for Halloween
LOL
Bout put a turbo on my Air fryer
Do it!!! And toss a video up. lol ;)
От какого автомобиля эти катушки?
2000-2003 Chevy and GM, Trucks, Tahoe's and Suburbans
@@cmattdabrat спасибо
why not just go for coil packs instead, easier to install, and maintain
Fitment
You went the wrong direction with your coils.
As in angle degree, type, or brand... or D, all...
