Oh I didn't know how slim the samurai was
damn
the samurai is probably the best option then really
Just get a Mirage with a lift kit
that isn't real
it's a mirage
Me: no crazy mods for this car. Its an econobox. Its meant to be efficient, and its never gonna be a sports car.
Also me: ...and then after the turbo upgrade I'll get a new cam!
I wouldn't pour money into a cruze, you'll hit power plateau very quickly and you'd be better off spending the money on a second project car with a less limiting engine in terms of tuning
@LOGiK intellectually i know that. But its hard to resist lol.
I probably won't do turbo or cam upgrades. But with upgraded intercooler lines, upgraded transmission, and a tune i can easily get the car to 250hp.
upgrading your transmission seems like you're suggesting some expensive work
By the time i do that, i would at least be close to a clutch replacement anyway
also I think you're overestimating the power of the 1.4t, I might be mistaken but even going full stage 2 on that engine is probably only going to see 190 so you'd need to be stage 3+ which is gonna cost a lot of money and I mean a lot of money
and it'll probably need a bigger turbo for over 200, which will probably mean bigger injectors and fuel pump to supply it and get rid of lag
but I really don't know what you'd be upgrading your transmission to, I don't know what you've already got but for the most part replacing transmissions is an expensive exercise in any car
even if you have a reliable cheap mechanic and a car that lends itself to transmission swaps, it's still usually a $250-500 job when it's easy work, if it's complex or difficult in any way labour ends up in the 000s
"Last I recall, OnlyTaurus was one of the highest I've seen on the site. He's since parted ways with the Cruze =[think he was pushing 210HP/270TQ"
Reminder the fastest Cruze made 210
Fucking piece of shit
The fastest i have heard of made 260
And several i have heard of dyno at 200
Thats at the wheels
Now tbh i would not take it that far.
But 200? That i might aim for
A trifecta tune on its own would get me 4/5 of the way there.
Also, really, the cruze isnt that bad @sexytortoiseloverboy
Best car in the world? Lolno.
PoS is a gross exaggeration tho
@LOGiK bigger fuel pump and injectors would be unnecessary for anything under about 270hp. Even then, you could manage
I agree trans swap is expensive tho
I have actually seen cruzes make over 300hp
That however involved far more work than i would ever do
Far, far, faaaaar more
Wait, do you have the 1.4 liter engine or the 2.0?
I don't think the 1.4 is feasibly capable of much over 200, I'm no expert by any means but yeah
on the point of offroad stuff from yesterday
I want the Jimny to be sold here.
