She's up and running!!!
Congrats!
Can't wait to see this on a Dyno!
This put the smile on my face 😃
I have been waiting for this for a long time! So glad it's up and running now.
So happy! Now I can finally move onto completing the charge system and intake.
@@cmattdabrat I can't wait!!!!! I would love to do this to my Cruze one day, but after watching your series, it might be more than I want to take on lol.
This has been such a good series man, great job. Especially being a one man show.
Thank you! Still lots to come. Exhaust, custom intake manifold to finish, intake, charge pipe for the cold side, tuning / dyno session, and racing!
I was giggling so hard seeing you start it with the turbo covered up thinking the whole time "he must know that's there" Glad it's up and running! Great videos dude!
lol, me too! Can't wait to build some boost. Thank you!
I have been impatiently waiting for so long for this moment.
Me too!!!
Same here.
@@BotSamich Just been dreaming about it for 1 1/2 years.
@@cmattdabrat This channel is quite possibly the most underrated car channel on CZcams! I love that you're doing stuff that nobody else is doing. In a sea of LS, Honda, and Toyota, you're really a breath of fresh air in this space.
@@cmattdabrat I'm so glad to see it actually turning out well, I know how tough these jobs can be. I've been watching for a year or so now and will continue to do so. Good luck with the diff and rear main. I can't wait to see how it runs under boost!
Like your stuff man. From welding fluxcore, to welding tig yourself a turbo manifold, head porting, rebuilding engine,really cool to see you progress.
Thanks! I appreciate it. Been a fun process.
I'm glad you were able to finally get it rolling! I'm sure you must be stoked.
Smiling from ear to ear!
She's come along ways man! Glad to see it up and running again, can't wait to see it 100% done!
Sure has!!! Wont be much longer.
Awesome video Matt! I’ve been so hyped for this part of the build 😁
Thanks! I thought the day would never come lol.
Awesome video! Cool to see someone putting so much into their Cruze! All the custom work is awesome to see too!
Not many people doing things with a Cruze and the 1.8 is such a solid platform for power!
I started the series thinking "man, another cobbled ride" to "this is coming out to be pretty incredible diy build". Great job man. Now to get my project off a 3 year backburn
I think he caught "while you're in there" and "good isn't good enough" syndromes very early on.
Thanks! I was okay with it seeming cobbled. Was on a budget at the time, and a covid project. As soon as it made the first 8 lbs of boost with 10psi spikes. I knew it had more in it. So I had to do it right. One video has done really well and has also helped pay for the build. Aside from time and research.
Yup! You nailed it. Boost is addictive.
Amazing vid, been waiting for this 🙌
Engine looking cleeaaannnnn 👌
Good stuff brother, waiting for more to come !
Appreciate it!! More to come soon!
Love that fresh engine smell! Sounds great! looking forward to the first drive with some boost!
Smells, sooooo good! Wont be long, but I can't wait either.
Bro, so happy to see the Cruze come to life, greta great video, thank you
Thanks! Been so long, but we're on the home stretch.
So happy to see it run, been watching since the start, hearing it try to turn over gave me ptsd from when I replaced the engine on my own cruze
Thanks for being an OG! LOL, same for all first starts on my engine swaps. Lots of mixed emotions. Mainly, this better work lol.
Hell-A-Job Matt! I am still hitting brick walls on my A25A Camry Turbo system. Covid and Mississippi getting fab work are draining. If I still had my Shop and full gear I would be done by now. But the garage with no lift is limiting and I have a small space between the Electronic Steering Rack and firewall to mount a turbo manifold! But I like the Fab work you did on the Manifold and hardlines! Bravo
Thank you! I know the feeling. Takes a lot longer having to borrow tools, like the engine hoist, and working on the ground. It'll be a real pain pulling the trans to figure out what's going on with the rear main seal leak.
Keep plugging away. I'm sure you'll get it all knocked out! It was definitely a headache pushing to get the pistons made, and the machine work done for this car. Might have been their lack of interest in it, but I just had to stay persistent.
I’m so happy you are still going! Been waiting on this video for so long!
Me too!! More to come. Almost. boost time!
Love your Dobie! Acts just like my 2yr old Doberman.
Congrats on getting it fired up!
Thank you! LOL, Apollo is a hoot. Smart, full of energy, a little too needy at times, but they definitely have unique mannerisms.
This is really looking good Matt. I was keeping note of few things from the start, but you found them in the end. You are definitely going to need to bring the beast to a Cruze meet!
Thanks! Would love to. Once it's finished I would love to hit one up in the Texas area.
Been waiting for a video of yours. Keep up the great work!
Thanks, and will do! More to come!
I just got a job as Turbocharger Technician and just picked up a 2013 2lt. I can't wait to start upgrading.
That's awesome! Keep me updated on how it goes.
grandma gave me a 08 saturn astra, and i found this little series.
thanks for all the info on 1.8l ecotecs :)
Very cool! I've thought about buying an Astra and boosting it, but on an aftermarket ECU.
Good job man!!!! Can't wait to see what it does!
Its' Ashley!!! Same here! I've been poking at Al... hey, collab with me on the tune lol. Might have to sell some shirts to pay for a trip to Michigan before it starts snowing. ;)
Great video Matt!!! Rear main drippin quite a lot, but I know you'll figure it out! Keep up the good work.
Thanks! Yeah. Not too excited about that, but we'll pull the trans and see what the issue is. I may have rushed that part since I was borrowing a hoist and doing things outside.
So excited! Glad to see she's finally on her feet
YEAASS!!! I just want to keep driving, but have more work to do.
Been waiting for this, this is amazing.
Thanks! Time to rock n roll!
Awesome 😎 I’ve been waiting for more videos on the. Cruise and love the sound of it man sounds better then my parents stock one thats for sure.🤟💪😎 keep up the good work man can’t wait for the next vid.🤟
Thanks! Loving the sound. More to come soon!
Very neat mate , good job
Thank you! Cheers!
I haven’t even watched the video yet but gave a huge like, can’t wait bro!
I appreciate that!
Congratulations, tons of work put in for this
Thanks! Definitely was.
Totally stoked for you that you got it going! I'm in the process of building twin turbo LS 4.8 for my Yukon. I Should be documenting it I guess.
Thanks! Sounds like an awesome build. Once this is all said and done, I may do an LS build since parts are easy to get for them. You should. CZcams has funded this build. You never know.
@@cmattdabrat I might just do that. Got a five speed and all the parts to do a conversion. Don't think I've seen a 5 speed swap Yukon on the interwebs anywhere.
Hell yeah, don't you love it when your project is finally coming together?!!
Hell yes!!! Getting some much closer to BOOST time!
Wow enjoyed the video.
Sad about seal but you will get it .
It sounds really nice & can't wait to hear it under boost.
Thank you! I've already figured out what I did wrong. The reluctor ring for the crankshaft timing should have gone in first, but we'll get her taken care of. Wont be much longer! 8lbs will be exciting, but once we max out the turbo, 20psi plus, now that will be something!
Love your build mate watched from the start
Thanks Dan! Definitely been a long haul.
Yoo this is the ultimate sleeper! Can't wait to see what it can do
Me too! It'll be fun pitting it up against some fast cars.
Heck yeah great work man this is awesome 👍
Thanks a bunch!
Sounds really good dude, can't wait until I hear that turbo spin ✌out with ya ✌out.
Thanks! Me too! Wont be long! Peace out, with your piece out!!!
you're a cool dude. I love this project and i think its the perfect sleeper setup haha
I appreciate that!
My favorite content on CZcams !!
Thank you!
Its great buddy. Great job!
Thank you!
Great Matt I have only waited a year for this video, finally you got your ass in gear lol.
lol! I'm still waiting to finally throw a bunch of boost at it.
Te felicito por el gran proyecto que as echo a ese cruze, te saludo desde Chile.
¡Gracias! Ha sido un largo viaje, ¡pero muchos más hitos por venir!
So much respect for this build! Built NOT bought baby!!!
Thanks! There's definitely a certain amount of bragging rights when it comes to, who made the "____"..., I did...
It’s been so long, benn waiting to see how this turns out! I think you should take that cap off the turbo inlet lol
It sure has! Finally here. lol... it didn't hurt anything, but sooo much excitement.
good job project turbo
Thanks!
Very original...the Cruze will be the ultimate sleeper.
Thanks! I think so too.
Nice job, so happy to see this video today! Can’t wait to see her rip.
“FIND NEW AIR SPACE” 😂😂😂
Glad it helped make your Monday. LOL... we're so close to Bush Intercontinental I could throw rocks at the 747's flying over.
@@cmattdabrat Wow didnt know you were that close! I live down in little ol alvin. still get planes! saw one today super low.
BROSKI YOU HAVE NO IDEA. I’VE BEEN WAITING AND CHECKING MY NOTIFICATIONS EVERY HOUR FOR THE PAST WEEK OR SO FR THIS VIDEO. *GOOD SHT* 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 #JohnWickandhiscruze
Hahaha, love the #. I definitely got this video out ASAP cause I know you guys are just as excited.
Uhhhh damn, maybe not perfect run for her first time but its getting better and better.
Waitin for the next episode.
Absolutely! We'll get the bugs sorted out. Just had to get her moving under her own power to seal the rings, some break-in miles, then BOOST!
I died when he took off the cap🤣🤣
lol
jeez i love this
Thanks!
So good to see it all up and running. Im envious of all the new factory wrapped bolts and parts. What was your process for this? Grab a factory manual, head into a dealer with a long list and buy over the counter? Looking forward to seeing you ironing out the standard little issues that come with a new build and getting the car dialled in. Great series👍
Thanks! They're torque to yield bolts so they have to be new any time they're removed. Same here. Still lots to do, but it's exciting to get the car moving under it's own power.
@@cmattdabrat thanks for taking the time to reply. Yep. I understand TTY bolts. I've always rebuilt old engines in the past however I'm currently doing a performance GM series II based engine. Never had the luxury of a current production engine so was wondering about the process. Is it as simple as heading into a dealer with a parts list?
Finally my friend 👌👍👍👍👍👍💯
Yes!!!
So happy to see you got it running again! My only question is, do you think you'll be able to use your custom ignition coil set-up? I'm hoping so, because I really like the concept. And I will say too, shame on GM for using a timing belt instead of a chain. Just be aware that you have to get those changed every so often, otherwise they're prone to snapping, and it could cause your pistons to slam into the valves and ruin your engine. But sadly car companies have to build their engines cheaply to save a couple bucks smh. But anyways, I can't wait to see you run it under boost. I'm really hoping you can achieve 500 wheel horse power with it. 🙂
Thanks! It's exciting. I'll use the custom ignition coil setup, I just bypassed it for now to get it started up and running. I completely agree. She'll be okay since it's a new belt, and I'll more than likely change it out more often than the 100k recommended change. Me too! We'll find out here soon. Hopefully before the end of the year. Need to raise some funds for a dyno session / tune.
That ignition coil . top right. Was arcing when getting turned over it looked like
I think it was just the light shaking...?
The dog in the wrong car cracked me up!
LOL! We couldn't stop laughing for hours.
Btw Matt, my previous comment was not intended to be a negative comment in any way. I've been building my 709 wheel horsepower EJ8 Civic coupe since 2014 with a few different engine and turbo combinations since then. Believe me, I know how rough it is to have a project car along with a full-time job, kids, a wife, and a house. I'm 38 years old. Keep up the good work brother!
Edit: if you're interested in my fully built turbo Civic build you can see videos of it on my channel.
No worries! It didn't come across as negative. It's taken a LOT longer than expected, but was all worth the wait. Nice! I'm right there with you. My V8 bug build took 5-6 years between saving, work, kids, playing in a band on the weekend. I'm 40 now and still enjoy it.
So I recently started watching you’re videos and I just bought a 2011 Chevy Cruze and I was wanting to upgrade to a bigger turbo who made you’re Chevy Cruze exhaust manifold for you’re bigger turbo
Welcome aboard! I made it. I did a DIY series on how to make one.
czcams.com/video/3bDhJW_Nbqs/video.html
I wonder if a 1.4 stock intake would do the trick with some cutting for your cai
I just might!
Hey man I’ve been waiting to see this happen for awhile now but next time take the cover off the front of the turbo it will help out cause that’s how it gets air in
Nice! The charge pipe isn't hooked up just yet. So it didn't hurt anything.
@@cmattdabrat ah ok can’t wait to see your first dyno pulls with this setup
hey man wondering what you did to replace the original shift knob to put your own on I've been wanting to do it just not sure how
Search my channel. Believe the video is about installing a short throw shifter.
on the clutch installment, circular does not mean star patterned. but she should be good regardless. keep it up! +edit, maybe wrap the header and get an a/c line made that can be routed under the turbo?
Thanks for the tips! I might just have to engineer a bracket that lowers the compressor. Not a whole lot of room to for an AC shop to do much with.
@@cmattdabrat good point... if it gets to hot there and you aren't able to figure a solution out, just remember racecars don't have a/c anyways ;)
I’ve been following this build for a couple weeks now. I have a 2011 Chevy Aveo 1.6 I would like to add a turbo but don’t know how to. My shop is not too far away from where you are. Assuming you’re by 59 north and beltway 8. Would like to know how I can add the turbo to my Aveo.
Nice. The 1.6 overseas came with a turbo. If you want to drop by. I'll take a look at the engine and can point you in the right direction.
Hello there .
I am writing from Turkey. I am following with interest. What did you do with the oil cooler?
That's awesome! Stock oil cooler.
Noooiiiiiceeeee. Do you think you’ll ever install a performance radiator?
Thanks! Maybe down the line, but as long as the stock stuff works fine, no point and messing with it.
You should do a tutorial video on how to tune!
Definitely will. Although I'm pretty new to it, but would be good to vlog the learning process and successfully tuning the car myself.
Sounds like a proper turbo 4! Did you figure out the coil packs? I won't lie, I was a bit worried about that rear main when I saw you put it in. Some sort of metal implement came out and was like uh oh. On the bright side, it didn't start tapping or knocking as soon as you started it!
Hilarious about the turbo inlet cover. I did similar trying to start my Eclipse GSX for someone. Forgot I had a rubber glove over the throttle body. Car started funny then idled worse than ever. Sucked it halfway in and luckily it got caught. Turbo wasn't hooked up currently.
Awesome progress man and I really wanna see it rip!
Sure does! So happy with the little bit of rumble the cams gave it. I'm thinking it's just the plug wires. I'll get that sorted out. I didn't see any metal come out, but I got it sorted. The timing reluctor plate should have gone on first... my overlooked.
LOL, I kept it on the whole time to keep crud out and wasn't too worried about it because the charge / cold side of the turbo isn't hooked up. I think a lot of people are confused about that and thought that the car was running rich because of that. lol... but I wanted the tune to start out rich, and I'm sure I didn't mention it's running on E85 entirely. Reminds me of when I did my V8 bug build, and forgot to tag the blue paper towels out of the intake and they came flying out of the tail pipe on first start, lol.
Wont be much longer!!! I wish I could just do this for a living, but the time will come and will all be worth it. Engine is healthy and have the rear main seal sorted... aside from actually pulling the trans. Needed a break after working on the car 20 hours a day on Thursday, over the weekend, and editing the video. More soon!
@@cmattdabrat Oh duh I did forget the charge piping wasn't hooked up. I was wondering how it started at all! Still I knew you didn't have it fully plumbed so I knew it wasn't making boost, my brain just failed to connect the two. Luckily I didn't shoot blue glove out of my tail pipe! Maybe if you get famous enough you can do it for a living. You certainly wouldn't be the only one with such a goal. ;)
I was wondering how you route the hard line because I’m interested in doing it like that but I got to find the right size turbo first
I just used some conversion fittings. The oil pressure feed coming out of the block is 1/4" NPT (or was it 1/8... can't recall off the top of my head), and I used a 1/4" NPT fitting to 4an fitting. From the NPT fitting I used a 4an to 1/4 hard line fitting. On the turbo side of things, it's just another hardline fitting to a 4an banjo. The turbo oil feed hole, I can't recall the size, but what will help you figure it out for your turbo is to use a dial caliper, and thread finder tool. I know at some point in my videos I call out what parts I've used to hook it up. Or at least I think lol.
@@cmattdabrat alright thanks man!
Awesome build, shoulda took off the turbo cover when you started
Just finished watching and saw you forgot LOL happens to us all. The excitement!
LOL! Tell me about it!
LOL! Exactly! That and the charge / cold side isn't hooked up, so I wasn't too worried about it.
Where did you buy those copper lock nuts? I need to replace mine. Replaced the turbo and had to get it together to get to work and later realized they were single use. Have a heck of an exhaust leak.
I got mine from clipsandfasteners.com. I did consider the 1.4 Cruze lock nuts. Same size, but they only sell them in packs of 8, instead of 9 like the 1.8 needs.
@@cmattdabrat thank you! I like that style better than the factory torx ones. The sockets i have are thick and were a pain to get in the tight space. Also I lost one and being copper you cant fist them out with a magnet like the ones you got.
Damn bro, I was starting to wonder if I'd ever see the day that old girl would be up and running again...lol I'm just joking, I'm sure you have a full-time job on top of CZcams, it's just nice to see it rolling.
You and me both! I was smiling from ear to ear. Definitely a lot of sleepless nights.
Jus asking whats the red thing kn the turbo is it the cap or a filtr good video tho
Just the cap when you get the new to keep dust out.
I see how nice mechanic you are 23:51 of your nice video you never take out the red cap of the turbo .lol 😂 I'm not mechanic I now 🤔 that need to come out for air for boosted.
lol, it could've stayed on. It's NA atm. No charge pipe hooked up.
How much hp is it pushin? Also what did you do to help it hold the hp without blowing the motor?
I haven't got to the point of putting it on a dyno yet. Still sorting things out. It has forged pistons, rods, springs, retainers, cams and ARP head studs to keep it together.
Shift at higher RPMs for the turbo, it’s different from N/A, lower RPMs on a turbo puts unwanted stress in it. Makes you stall out, the clutch will grab better making the shift feel more aggressive , like a wrx
ATM, the turbo is just on the exhaust. We'll get the charge piping all taken care of soon, but I know where you're coming from. The plan is to see at what point in the RPM, on a dyno, the power starts to fall off. May be around 7500-8k.
@@cmattdabrat makes sense and I assumed you had a idea or knew but figured I’d throw it out there, car is turning out to be a work out art 🙏 pumped to here how it will all sound with full boost and the exhaust! Good job dude!
Shes a beauty Matt!!!!! Awesome job!!! 👌
Thank you!!! I'm loving how it turning out so far.
@@cmattdabrat I wish I had your gift on building cars. I have a 1.8 cruze and the stock power is weak. I need more lol
U got Juan Valdez going on there when getting oil pressure so 😆
lol, I don't get it.
@@cmattdabrat the oil tanker that leaked tons of oil back in the 80s
@@erickelly8704 lol! Gotcha. Definitely got to get that sorted.
How much boost are you running and what did you do for head gasket since u board out piston holes
It's currently not making any boost because it's just NA until I fabricate the charge pipe and custom intake manifold. The stock gasket is 81.79mm and the bore is 80.9mm. So we got some clearance.
@@cmattdabrat I watched your other video about the head gasket do you have a blueprint or something where I could get 1 ordered
I wish there was a kit
I'm considering offering kits, but we'll see. It's a whole different world with how strict the emissions laws are.
I hope you ran a restricter for your oil feed as that's to much flow.
The restrictor is built into this turbo. It's a journal bearing turbo which needs adequate flow, like the main and rod bearings.
@@cmattdabrat cool, my wife has a Holden (chevy) trax and i have a mk4 supra turbo, love your work from Australia
I own this same car. I want to do this but its so intense. What was the total $$ parts wise? Also, thank you for making these. Fantastic videos!
Thank you! I'll have to do a cost breakdown video. It wasn't a ton of money though. 5-6k over the course of 1 1/2 years..
Zip ties and cut up pieces of rubber hoses will be your bet to keep from rubbing holes in things.
This is true! I'll tidy up the engine bay here soon and keep that in mind.
Супер. Ты молодец!!!!
I find it so interesting that some mechanics swear that "engine break-in" periods are bunk, yet don't most car manufacturers always recommend it? My last mechanic claimed his race cars always put out more power when he started beating on them from mile 0... would be super interesting if, someday, a CZcams mechanic built two of the same engines and gently broke 1 in and then beat the living hell out of the other and then dyno'ed them both at like 1,000 miles and see if there was a difference? Man you must be so happy, glad to see your project coming together!
I need to find the link again, but there was a guy called “motoman “ who did this. He broke in two bike engines, one hard and one gentle and disassembled them and took pictures. The “break it in hard” looked so much better.
@@basedemt6608 I'll look for it! I've heard sooooooo many different opinions over the years about this. One other mechanic I used to know claimed you should change the oil a few times in the first 500 miles due to all the "micro-shavings" inside the motor... it is really a confusing topic!
I like to think they need to be put under load as soon as you get the idea sorted out. With this engine, it didn't need a 20 minute RPM varying break-in like an old pushrod flat tappet cam engine. Crower told me the cams are ready to run on first start up. So I took the car for a spin to put some load on the engine. Did some engine breaking and whatnot to seal the rings. Kept RPMS no higher than 3-4k. After a 20 minute run time, drive, and some easy break in pulls, change the oil, and the engine will keep sealing up better and better over the next 500 miles. Change oil, and you're good for a regular interval. I'd more than likely push it more, but the "clutch / flywheel" companies wont warranty a hard break-in.
I know the exact video you're talking about. The guy had just recovered from some fireworks burns. Aside from a pushrod motor with flat tappet cams, the engine is ready for abuse the moment you fire it up. Although the first 20 minute, or 20 mile oil change I'd recommend because a lot of new parts machining debris will be in the engine, but the oil filter will catch it.
I'd say, if it's not a pushrod engine with a flat tappet cam, which most aren't these days. Get the engine under load ASAP. Drive and do some mild pulls to 3-4k, let the engine break the car... slow the car down. Do that a few times. Get a 20 minutes, or 20 miles in. Change the oil. Drive another 500 miles like you would going around town getting groceries. After that, change the oil, and you're good to beat on it, and for regular service intervals.
So do you work for a fab shop or something? Really like all the stuff with MC2 on it. Super unique
Thank you! No, I own a t-shirt print shop. Search "Mikey Designs & Silk Screen" on CZcams. I've just been into cars all my life, thanks to my dad. This has been a fun series, and plan to keep them rolling with lots more projects once this is finished.
@@cmattdabrat oh wow, really nice work man. Super cool you basically fabbed up a whole turbo kit, built the motor and everything
Starts it up with the cap still on the turbo
Wonder why it’s running rich
lol, well, it doesn't make a difference when the cold side of the turbo isn't hooked up yet. It's running NA until I finish fabricating the intake.
Anyone have an opinion on cxracing turbo?
Richard Holdener has some dyno pulls on them.
I have the same
Nice!!!! Well, its' all be laid out how get to this point.
Is it the electric turbo one or the normal
Normal turbo. :)
why does it look like the turbo inlet is capped off ?
It was. It's just NA at the moment, but I forgot to take it off.
Your intake for your turbo is cover I hope you know that
Yup. The turbo isn't really hooked up just yet to get the engine broken in. In the next videos we'll be fabricating everything to start making boost.
U need to take it to a tuner man and get a good base map on it with the turbo. And take it from there
I'm considering it. Right now it's just NA, and tuning really isn't too difficult, with knowing the fundamentals of how an engine works. My plan is to rent a dyno for a day and tune it myself, unless I can find a good tuner that knows HPTuners, is reputable, and is actually willing to take in a build like mine. Called a lot of shops and got turned down.
@@cmattdabrat do it yourself, brother. I’ve been tuning for years, it’s not hard, just requires a little research into AFR range and smoothing cells so it’s not a jump in timing anywhere(like 15 straight to 20, or etc. it needs to be a gradual build). Plus the result is so worth it!
Are you doing the tube yourself or a shop? What programs are you using
Doing it myself from a mandrel universe kit.
@@cmattdabrat sorry I misspelled tune. Are you doing it yourself as well? And what programs are you running for it
@1:36 i dont think you are supposed to grease the outside of the seal
That's the timing plate for the crankshaft position sensor. Although, I obviously didn't install something correctly. We'll examine what went wrong with the main seal leaking soon.
Did you do extra work
I'm not sure what you mean?
Damn😯
Thanks!
You forgot to take off the turbo inlet cap!
lol
U got the cap or the turbo not allowing air in
Its' running NA at the moment until I build the charge pipe.
Lol I commented at beginning of video I was wondering why u had cap on but love the build a simple Chevy cruz so cool
Is this front wheel drive?
It's front wheel drive.
He left the turbo cap on
lol, yup. Boost pipes aren't hooked up at this moment so didn't hurt anything.
