It was built for the avensis I believe

the problem with a lot of modern diesels sold to the EU is that they try to meet absurd emissions regulations

old diesels that didn't care go on forever

look at the old mercedes diesels and stuff

they were shit to drive but they never went wrong

now all these new ones are a mess

Yeah the old 300D lasts forever, with the Hilux too, the engine that built their reputation didn't have to meet any crazy emissions standards.

it's a shame, all the eco nazi shit is ruining cars

Well that's why NA engines are dying out too, also a big part of why manuals are, besides market demands, it's way easier to hit emissions targets for those driving cycle tests when you can program the shift patterns to optimize results.

@Matt for the record, i have a 1.4T

Its actually an engine with quite a bit of tuning potential

Problem is mainly that its all built with restrictive peripheries for emissions, fuel economy, cost, etc.

Tune, exhaust, and intake is enough for 180 to 190hp.

Better tubing for the intercooler will give you 200.

Anything more than that and you start needing a stage 2 transmission, turbo upgrade, and a heavier duty tune, but it can be done.

But i have never heard of anyone being bottlenecked by, say, injectors

Its usually the wimpy af transmission that bottlenecks people. Shit's expensive to upgrade, but to go above 200hp its kinda necessary

I can't see any sources showing much over 200hp without using things like methanol

"stage 2 transmission"

Heavy duty tune?

What the fuck

Sigh

Is this a Need for speed game

I mean

I know thats not directly applicable for the tune

Didnt know a better term off the top of my head

There is no term

It would be a tune with more boost and leaner ratio on e85

Or e30

Point is, a one size fits all trifecta tune isnt gonna help much when you start messing with the turbo and intercooler

https://www.cruzetalk.com/forum/10-gen1-powertrain/10164-what-highest-horsepower-achieved-cruze.html a guy in that thread says the turbo is all out at 190

Or cams

190hp from intake and exhaust? That's a 70% increase in total output, I can't think of any engine where that's the case.

Wut

I said and tune

The tune being the important bit

"Yeah, about that EcoBoost engine lol

Pretty much all of them are at risk for head warpage prior to 50k miles

The cylinders have a "water cooled jacket", so they're only attached to the rest of the head at the bottom end"

Tune of what? An ECU remap?

Yes

It's called an open deck, and it's only one motor that's open deck.
