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
Just drive it into the ocean
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.
ha
I remember Jimnys from the 90s
Well that's one sale in the bag lads
they.. didn't have a great reputation.
Well they were never sold under that name in the US.
It was the Samurai here and it actually had and has a great reputation among serious off-roaders.
On road it wasn't so great because of the high center of gravity, and it ended up involved in a lawsuit between Suzuki and Consumer reports when they said it was likely to roll.
Oh my sister had a samurai
She took the family Cutlass and hid it in the mall parking lot
And tried to get rid of it but my parents found it so they bought her a new samurai
Damm
