Matt you're a genius cant wait until a tv series sponsor gives you your own show that features the worlds top diy race car builders to build a racecar from scratch in 30 days.
The cruze gets better each time you bring it out. It's come a long way since the start cant wait to see the tune fully dialed in.
Thanks! Can't wait either, but taking it a step at a time. Goal is to have it dialed by the end of the year and start going to events and competing.
Your enthusiasm is contagious and I love that you're doing something different. Love this series!
Thank you! I really appreciate it.
Try gapping down the spark plug to 0.020" that's what we typically run on N54s and if you are using E85 then try 0.018". Most likely breaking up because of spark plug blow out
Thanks, It's gapped to .018. It was just running really rich when it was breaking up. Just need to dial in the fueling after switching over from the MAF to VE.
Having even started watching it yet. Just excited that it exists
Hahah, I appreciate that.
Two videos in one week... welcome back bud. Hope all is well
Thanks!
I was just thinking about you, past 2 weeks, I even looked to see if you had uploaded last week but nothing, today I got a notification, happy you are still here. Cheers from Mexico.
I appreciate it! I've uploaded a few videos recently. So more to come soon.
Great video Matt!!! Keep it up. Dyno is a good idea, gives you the ability to focus on the laptop and not the road. Cant wait
Thanks and I agree!
Just amazing brotha. Your doing awesome things
Thank you!
Good too see you back Matt !!🔥
Thanks!
FULLLLLLLL PULLLLLLLLLL. Love from New Zealand. Keep at it man.
Thank you!
Yea buddy, keep the updates coming!
Sure will!
It's getting better in every video keep tuning on it some day not not too long you see it in drag racing ❤
Thank you and looking forward to it.
Cant wait for more content with this bad girl
Good too see ya man. Keep reachin 🤘
Thanks!
Really looking forward to the dynosession!
Me too! Just need to address a couple leaks and my transmission seal leaking after that axle break. Simple stuff, but going to get some dyno time on the books.
You keep loosing fuel pressure. Starts at 60psi and drops into the 40s that's completely wrong your running out of fuel pump. Your fuel pressure should go up with boost to compensate. I'm thinking leaving the car sitting with e85 has plugged up the fuel system.
You're right about that. I'm on it. Long story short, the DW300 in there is good to 600hp on E85. I have a Radial 1:1 pressure regulator at the rail. Just the stock FPCM needing adjusting. It has 3 different modes. Low pressure, normal and high. Need to adjust the tables it so it'll tell the pump to send more pressure. Easier said than done, but we'll get there.
@@cmattdabrat possibly the e85 turned into jelly and is plugging up the pump. I have seen e85 go stale in just a month of sitting. Especially in hot Texas sun if any fuel was sitting there for weeks it could of gone rotten and gelled up on the pick up. At least u were running pig rich when it was dropping fuel pressure instead of lean and burning the pistons or valves.
Always great content
Appreciate it.
I'm surprise how that jerking while shifting doesn't annoys you, I noticed on your previous videos as well. Maybe it's just a simple problem like motor mounts.
Good video my friend 🎉
Thank you!
Glad your doin okay brother
Thanks! Getting better day by day.
The last pass looked like it was picking up some MPH! At least you got to make some passes and drive it home after!
Thanks! True! We'll get it sorted. :)
Great vid
Thank you!
Woohoo!!!!!!
Def think the dyno is the right choice.. maybe a turbo with thrust bearings.
I do too. The current turbo has thrust bearings.
Since u live in Texas you should check out the yellow belly raceway 🎉🎉
Thanks for the heads up!
Yessss
Thanks!
Bro Install the FuelTech Ft600
Lean is mean just fyi. That things running LEANN!!!.
We'll get it dialed. Just takes time. :)
Yeah just add a heap of fuel because its lean everywhere haha. If you need a remote tune let me know ill help you. @@cmattdabrat
It actually takes about 2 hours to tune a car fully.@@cmattdabrat
Best of thr best!))
I appreciate it!
Anytime you have a car thats not normally built you will have people curious to whats going on. 👍🏻
True!
with all u have done with this cruze makes me wish that there was more i could do with my 2018 TD cruze, upgrades are so limited.
I feel you. Really had to dig and create a lot to get it this far.
I bet holley would do wonders for it
I bet! Fighting this stock ECU every step of the way but we'll make it work until a stand alone is in the budget.
Mustang has left the chat 😂
lol
You were running .69 LAMBDA that's why it was breaking up so bad. It's running way too rich. Lean it up to .78 LAMBDA and she'll run great
True! Was dialing in the VE. Had it on MAF before but the sensor was acting up.
Definitely a gt28 or so instead
Going to test a GT30 and see how the engine likes it.
Breaking up from too big of spark gap?
Too much fuel. I had the ECU commanding .8 Lambda, but was going as rich as .65. Just needs some adjustment.
@@cmattdabrat ooooo yeah. Definitely dont want to wash those cylinders! Especially if motor is not entirely broken in and rings arent fully seated and grooved in
Your having alot of knock retard so you gotta look into that
Keep your lambda keep it between .77 - .75 or 11.0-11.4 in afr when in boost
Check your fuel pressure specially if you have an external regular should rise as boost comes on... if your running e85 never let it sit in the tank too long it goes bad and starts absorbing water
And spark plug gap should be smaller the more power your running. See what gap you have now and try closing that gap so it doesnt stutter in the high end and stuttering can also be knock retard which reduces timing and in some cases will richen the afr in some cars which also causes stuttering
Thanks for looking out. It's false knock. Timing is pretty low until I can see what it likes on a dyno.
Targeting .75 - 8 depending on the amount of boost. Just need to get the fuel dialed in on the VE tables. We'll get there. Just need to sort out how to trick the ECU into staying at a high fuel pressure while under boost. I have a radium 1:1 regulator.
Currently gapped to .18. Just had too muh fuel. On the fuel, it's fine. I've had e85 sit up in the tank for almost a year when I swapped in the DW300. I was surprised at how spotless the tank was and how well they seal. When installing the new solenoids, I had to pull the fuel line at the rail to get to one of them. The fuel looked great and I've already burned through a 2 tanks working on the tune.
We're getting there. It's taken a lot of street driving and flashing just even to dial in the MAF. Now that's out, MAF is the same thing but A LOT more dialing in and reflashing. I'm at the 350 mark as far as how many times the car has been reflashed and tuned. Would be nice to just adjust things on the fly, but just how it goes reflashing the stock ECU, and not to meantion it has it's own set of calculations where, as soon as I make my mods, it's sway it one way or another. Kind of a pain in the neck.
@cmattdabrat thats good id keep timing low untill you figure out boost and fuel and then if you want to add timing ad 1 timing at a time... normally timing increases as rpms increase as well
