I'm in another country far far away 👍but thanks for your attention ❤❤
@@arashtorabi8852 Welcome aboard and thanks so much for watching.
Love how you put the trans in place. Genius!
Thanks! Last time around I used some ratchet straps and figured the chain method would be a lot easier.
Looking good Matt. Nice work! I wish I could stay as positive as you, of course it's probably cuz I do this for a living and get a little burnt out sometimes ;) Stay cool man.
Thank you! I feel you on that. I've found doing what you enjoy for a living can over time make it feel like "work". As soon as you have clients waiting, or pushing for deadlines, takes some of the joy out of it, not to mention doing it over and over.
Hang in there! We appreciate it!
The jazz segment was awesome. Your TIG skills are clearly getting pretty solid. Sweet it's back up and running already.
LOL, couldn't resist since it looked like a sax. I'm definitely getting more comfortable to the point I didn't even think about showing the welds. They came out really well, strength wise and properly welding the pieces together. Not instagram pretty, but some parts were. I think what'll improve the look of my welds is an actually table and something to hold the piece I'm welding together rather than propping them up with a roll of tape on work on a wood crate lol. Didn't take long!
Been watching you since day one of the build. So proud!!!
Thank you so much for all the continued support!
Seeing all this work being done to your Cruze makes me so envious. I have a UK spec 1.6 and wouldn't have a clue where to start for large-scale modifications like this. I've only changed the rear lights to LEDs and added a boot spoiler and roof spoiler to it. I do plan on getting a CAI and bodykit but all that's a far cry from this work. Keep it up.
I appreciate it. I'm by no means a pro at this stuff, but hella determined to push the 1.8 platform to see what it'll do. As you know I'm documenting it all in hopes it'll inspire, teach, and show the accomplishments and my pitfalls.
GT35 - I love your determination with your Cruze, you are an inspiration in my eyes and I try my best to follow the standards you set. I've been through many ups and downs with my Cruze and like you , do all the work myself. Keep making the detailed video's please, I depend on them! GT35! Congratulations to whoever is blessed with the GT35 turbo , that will be amazing for sure!
That's awesome! Building anything other than stock definitely has it's ups and downs. When I did my V8 El Camino conversion, got the stout engine in, and not long after, blew the trans and open diff all at the same time and was left stranded on the freeway. Didn't stop me from just building the next piece to get it back on the road. Wish I would have filmed more of that build. Lots of fun, but hard work as well.
I’ve been looking for vids on doing a turbo to a none turbo car and I found yours. Great vids dude! I’m sure I’ll be asking some questions once I get it and start the project. It’s a 2.0 Jetta 05
Welcome aboard! Sounds like a cool project. More than happy to just if you have any questions.
Nice to see it back on the road!
imo the muffler will make it sound alot better, right now im not a big fan of how it sounds lol
Cant wait for the next video!!
Thanks! It'll definitely help with some of the cabin and exhaust drone.
Glad see it going, & just gets better brotha. Hope to see you grow so much more on here, you do some awesome true modifications to the ride & also keep it fun. GT35 💯✌😎🤘
I appreciate it! Only time will tell growth wise.
Love the fact you’re back on all 4, I’m not a HUGE fan of no BOV but it’s your build. If you’re testing the Maxspeeding turbo to see how it’ll last then I’m with that. But long term I’d like to see you do the BOV.
I hear that! Definitely an experiment to test the no BOV myth. Still have two new turbos on the side line.
Watch the video when the turbo feed was leaking all over the parking lot, like the vids man. I just swapped my 2003 WRX engine with a semi built setup and of all things blew a hose this morning, after getting the inter cooler back on I’m putting the BPV on and stripped the threads. Out to autozone and 3 hours and $40 later I now own a tapper set, and am running a bigger boot on one side! Lol. She’s making boost though!!
Thank you! You're definitely like me in the sense you're not going to let anything stop you from getting your build going and making boost!
Cant wait to see where this build evolves into. Its a lot of inspiration for my colorado build. Gt35
I'm glad it's inspiring you! I can't wait either.
I just adjusted my wastegate tonight . It's better but I only get 7.65 psi. Must be a leak somewhere so I'll boost leak check it soon when it's warmer out.
You 2 are funny, Apolo is looking for a ride (: 😀. Look at the smile lol 😆.
Safety 3rd lol !
Good progress. Be safe team.
Definitely look at the system as a whole. I have check valves in place going to the brake booster and evap system.
LOL, we appreciate it! Apollo is always down for a ride.
Great to see the first yield of “fruits”!
Btw this the only channel I like and comment on because I want your channel to grow. Great job as always. GT35 baby!!
Wow, I really appreciate that. Looking forward to what the growth is like this year with all of your support.
I'm not sure how I feel about no BOV but to each their own keep up the good work. Love the videos has helped me determine the build on my own Cruze. Appreciate your time and efforts on your videos you post.
I'm glad they've helped with your own build. I appreciate it!
insane build thanks for showing us the way
Any time!
I think you definitely should have a BOV. Can pipe it back into the intake tract to make it less obnoxious.
Good point. Definitely thought about that. Just playing with different setups ATM.
Gt35. Started following this build before the motor blew up. Was wanting to turbo my wife’s 2.4L 5 cylinder vw beetle. Keep the great content coming! Watching from San Antonio, TX
Right on! Don't hear about many, if any, boosted 2.5 beetles. We almost got one for Shannon and was itching to boost it lol.
@@cmattdabrat for the most part it’s a good economical car, it’s a 2.5L 5 cylinder rather . I know they offer the 2.0T, which is pretty quick and fun.
Next project after this the 1.4L Cruze. Your 1.8 sounds amazing!
I wish I had the money to do another build. If the channel grows, the 1.4 is definitely a possibility!
I’ve been running no BOV from when the car was first put together and have had no issues at all.
I hear the only damaging turbo flutter is really flutter while under load rather than from the throttle body snapping shut.
@@cmattdabrat Thats correct. And that's caused by lack of airflow post turbo. when you let off there isn't exhaust gas pushing the exhaust side of the turbo against the pressurized compressor side
Can't wait to see some serious pulls on this thing
Me too!
Nice it looks much cleaner with the intake pipe running like that
I think so too!
Hell yeah man sounds nice happy to see it on the road
Thanks! Feels good driving her again.
Even though it’s a budge turbo that could probably be replaced for the cost of a quality Bov, I would still add one back on it. Loving the progress. Keep up the good work!
Thank you! Kinda wanting to test whether not running a BOV really does anything to the turbo over time.
@@cmattdabrat you may even quicker spool time between gear changes. The throttle body would be my next concern if high boost was dead heading against the throttle plate. Idk if it could cause damage to the plate or damage to the stepper motor for the e throttle.
Having a hard time watching this and staying off Ebay looking for turbo parts after it's done! 😁
LOL! I know the feeling!
Good job on it you really need that blow off valve install
Thing I enjoy about this project is it's experimental. I'm not too worried about the engine blowing or damaging a turbo, but I hear the only damaging turbo flutter is really flutter while under load rather than from the throttle body snapping shut.
I would not put straight gear oil in the transmission. It’s is GL5 rated which is harmful to the brass pieces within a transmission. I lost the T5 in my mustang because of it lol. You need a GL4 rated fluid. Try amsoils or pennzoils “synchromesh” fluid. Love the content, keep it up!!!
Hey Bob! Man, didn't even think of that. A member on the CruzeTalk forum mentioned they used it, thought I'd give it a try. The fluid I had in it before was Amsoil's Syncromesh. Seemed to work well. Guess I'll have to flush it out and refill with the proper stuff.
GT35 - I thought i was crazy thinking about upgrading my cruze. Very happy to see there are other people as crazy as I am.
lol! I love the platform.
@@cmattdabrat I have 161k miles on a 2012 I just bought it a couple years ago for $1000 ive done all the upkeep myself so far. I wouldnt say I abuse it but Im definitely making it work and so far Ive loved it. I do have a ton of oil in my intake right now which makes me think the pcv valve needs to be replaced again.
OMG I cracked up when u did that saxophone part. lol
LOL! I couldn't resist. Looked too much like a sax when it was all said and done.
gt3582.. Def put blowoff valve on. your hard work is paying off. I want to see your channel grow so big. I do like how loud the car is now. loud is good. Keep the content comeing we r all here to support your channel. That cruze is gonna scream.
I really appreciate it. Now I just need to figure out where to put it. More to come soon!
That seems like a fun car to drive 😀 nice work on the engine. GT35
Thank you! She's scooting!
Gt35, i would sure like to try that on my 2017 trax, it needs that extra push to make it up those steep uphill hairpin turns😥
I hear that! Good luck!!!
It needs a BOV or diverter valve to release boost pressure when you let off the throttle
I agree.
no it does not
@@frosty98412 I'm not too worried about damaging a turbo, but I hear the only damaging turbo flutter is really flutter while under load rather than from the throttle body snapping shut.
Need. No it does not but a bov is $50 and sounds better
Been wanting to mod my 2013 cruze fir a while now. I think the flutter sounds sweet. Gt35
Thank you! I waited about 4 years until I had it paid off.
Clever idea using the cradle to lift the trans. Cool vid
Thanks! Last time around I used ratchet stripes and thought, why not use the provided chains.
Gt35 turbo... Your car is sounding good cant wait to see it in the dyno get it properly tuned.
Me too!
YESS That 1.8 and that turbo sound so good had to put the headphones on to get the full experience awesome stuff brotha 🔥🤝 (GT35)
That's awesome! Wish the audio was better to get more turbo noise, but I'll work on that some more.
I'm getting ready to buy my own cruze and I can't wait to build it!! GT35!!
Awesome!
Josh got all them muscles but no where to be found. LOL Enjoying the content man!!!
LOL! This is true, although I tend to work on this at the drop of a hat. You know how it is getting people out with their busy lives. I appreciate it Craig! What's up the the TA these days?
@@cmattdabrat still on the back burner right now. currently trying to get my shop finished up. need a couple of permits from Montgomery county and Entergy to come in and get my power installed. Then driveway, epoxy floor, some wood on the walls and then I should be able to knock the dust off the ol girl. fingers crossed
Awesome 🙂
Thanks!
That autozone halfshaft won't last long, that rubber ring around stock one is like harmonic damper for engine, it let's you enjoy them clutch dumps a Lil longer
Agreed. He could replace the stock boot, while the car is still in tuning phase. The stock halfshaft looked pretty beefy.
Thanks for the feedback! At some point I'll get Driveshaft Shop to make some that'll handle my target hp.
They do look beefier that's for sure. Wish someone would make some off the shelf CV Axles ready to go to handle some power.
I personally think that no bov is fine, every mod comes with a price it’s no different than any other engine mod
Got a good point there.
Cool!
Thanks!
My man yes been waiting for this 🙌 so legendary
Thanks! You and me both!
Hell yeah man!
Thanks!
GT35 It's not that bad to change a CV Boot, especially the inner CV because it comes apart easily.
This is true! I'm going to replace it and hang onto it as a back up. If the Autozone one breaks, it has a limited lifetime warranty so I can trade it in lol.
@@cmattdabrat if it's a small enough hole I've had luck patching then with silicone rtv. Just make sure to add fresh grease
GT35
Good to see it back on the road running again '
Thanks!
Nice
Thanks
LET'S GO 🏁
Let's GOOO!!!
Can you get a half shaft set-up that bolts to block . To half the length of that drive shaft and minimise torque steer?
The torque steer isn't too bad on this car. :)
@@cmattdabrat I saw that video where you installed the lsd that's probably enough to keep it under control.
GT35
sound great but i dont know if its safe to not run a blow off valve.
That turbo flutter thooo
Definitely going to try and get some better video and sound clips of it.
What sort of scanner and diag tools do you use? Every time I work on a damn car fighting the computer system is the hardest part.
I'm using HPTuners.
If you were closer, I would have been willing to assist, real talk bro. Hehe
I'm always done for help. I appreciate it!
Compressor Surge
the fuel injectors could pop out not running a blow off valve.
Never heard of that before, but something to look out for.
@@cmattdabrat you've never heard of it because it's not an actual thing.
No. No they can't. Blow off valve dumps the excess air/pressure due to the throttle body being closed, stopping it from stalling the turbo etc. Tell me how that pressurised air is going to pop the injectors out with the tb closed?
Sounds real mean man! I'm curious what exhaust setup do you have. ? Is the zzp cat back ?
Thanks in advance.
Thank you! It's a custom exhaust I made from an eBay kit. 3" turbo back.
czcams.com/video/JYvLxdZs1TE/video.html
@@cmattdabrat You're very welcome. I seen you on thr zzp live chat I believe last Friday or the one before. You weren't on very long. The discussion was polled on 1.4 vs 1.8s lol.
GT35. Can’t wait to see it on the dyno
Thank you! Me too.
Only torque spec you should use is the good old German Gud-n-tight
Bingo! As long is it's not, opps, over did it, let's back it out a quarter turn now.
@@cmattdabrat oops, happened on a moped cylinder head. Never understood as a teenager that aluminium is softer than Steel. Turns out it's not the top treads who gave up, but the entire cylinder rod janked out from the block, so the cylinder had to be removed too, and to the positive side, dad taught how to drill and tap😀
@@gedas3419 It's definitely easy to over due it! Especially on aluminum. In all honesty, I've stripped out one of the flywheel pressure plate bolt holes by cross threading it. Just pulled it, tapped it to the next size, done. Holds even better than the rest now.
Gt35. Love ur videos man i rly wanna learn how to turbo a car
Thanks! You can do it. More air, more fuel, more power!
GT35!! Need it for my 2g dsm lol.
Sweet lol!
Keep the videos coming gt35!!
Thanks! Will do!
Got any transmission connections lol need an 11 auto? For cruze 1.4
I don't. I personally would just go to a junkyard and pull one.
Flutter sounds good. And the was the exhaust on? If not it sounded pretty cool. Oh and we need more scenery footage when ya drive. Fire your camera lady lol jk. Looking good tho
LOL! Tell me about it. I'm working on a solution to mount the camera in the car during rides / drives. The exhaust wasn't on yet, but will definitely capture the change in sound.
@@cmattdabrat oh btw GT35!!!
Gt35 man I'll slap that on my Cruze asap
Nice!!!
Gt35. Nice video
Thanks 👍
Chevy Cruze go hard
Amen!
I didn't know you were related to Kenny G 😮
I taught him everything he knows lol.
GT35!
Hey man I would love to chat about this build. I’m not the most computer savvy so if you have the parts list somewhere lmk. Would love talk love what you do man
I’ll put out a video with the parts list in the near future.
Hearing the flutter noises makes me want to go big turbo on the diesel cruze, the hybrid turbo's don't do that🤣
I always loved the turbo flutter sound! You should do it lol
@@cmattdabrat I'll rather go through the process of getting a diesel BOV kit

Hey Matthew how do you tune ? What’s your setup. If you don’t mind me asking… is there a way I could run a device on my car and you send me a tune? Cash before and everything.
I'm using HPTuners to tune. What vehicle and engine do you have?
Astra 1.8 ecotec same engine as yours.
@@cmattdabratGM vehicle
@@usereleven2797 Nice. I've actually been on the hunt a decent Astra because it's the same engine. Don't believe they have the VIM, which I like.
As far as tuning, I'm not seeing it listed on HPTuners site. So chances are you would have to go with a stand alone ECU, unless you can dig deeper and find some sort of tuning solution that'll work with the stock ECU. Plugging HPTuners in and seeing if it'll read and or write may work, but if it's not listed on their site, chances are it wont work. I'd be interested in what ECU is in the vehicle. DM me pics of the ECU if you don't mind to my instagram.
Where did you learn to weld?
Self taught. Took some intro welding classes in high school. Aside from that just lots of practice and DIY projects.
Amsoil 💪
Yes!
Subscribers can you all make it happen to get Matt a car lift? Let's make it happen!
Would love a lift! Just about pulled the trigger on one, but didn't want to overreach my budget.
Hi Matthew I'm just asking is there boots for axles to replace or axles come in cheap
I'll look into some replacement boots. I also wanted to have something as a backup as well.
@@cmattdabrat and how is going on the other engine did you touch it or not I love to see that engine is running on boost 😍
@@arashtorabi8852 Just waiting on the custom replacement piston.
@@cmattdabrat oh sorry for bad question you sed it 3 time and I forgot it .I like your work keep it up
If u live in very cold climates u definitely don't want 75w90 in the Trans. Impossible to shift I gautentee at -40

She’s still not right.. I wouldn’t be driving it 🤭
What would you change?
@@cmattdabrat I would let a Professional tuner borrow it for a week so they can get it dialed in on the spot. You have done great work on the install and the way it all looks for sure 👍
✔👨🔧💯👍🏻👋
:v !!!!!

Have you considered doing the "Big 3" power upgrade to help out with the dead battery issues? since i know most of your power issues typically are from starting it more often then running it to charge the battery, it may help get things started up. or even moving the battery into the trunk and getting a larger AGI battery?
0 gauge OFC cable from the alternator to the battery, then another line from the negative of the battery to the block would make a world of difference.
I have! My brother is huge into audio and tells me about it every single time he sees the car lol. It's on my to do list in the future.
@@cmattdabrat sweet! i'd love to see a video on that in the future!
i've done a lot with car audio in the past, and one thing i did pick up was that SkyHighAudio is a great company for getting quality 0 gauge OFC cable. definitely watch out for Copper Clad Aluminum 0 gauge, its a lot cheaper but theres a good reason why!
Chevy Cruze are the easiest cars to fix.....you just take them to the junkyard and leave them there.
LOL...
How hard was it to turbo a 1.8? I got a 1.4 but don’t like the auto and it’s one of the worst cars ever
The hardest part is making a custom manifold, and squeezing the turbo in such a tight space, but if there's a will, there's a way.
@@cmattdabrat I love it you really give me hope honestly
So how is this a budget build?🤦🏾
When you DIY, and do a little at time. It's taken 2 years to get to this point. Don't have more than $6k in it. I'd say it's still a budget build.
