Fen will be step one in the Pedders validation cycle
These new small Chevrolets are easy to suspend. Increasing HP is like
The 1.4L Turbo loves the factory air box
We tried I don't know how many tube configurations and we made the most power on the stock air box. By the end of the day we had cut up the OEM box so I drove home on the least lame CAI we constructed
My replacement OEM air box cover and MAF came in this afternoon
The ricer turbo sounds are now just a bad memory
The tune is the best we could get from our least lame CAI
With the OEM air box in place and the CAI tune the Sonic does a very light mouse like squeak from a standing start with 3 or four feet of a very light gray almost burnout
Brake torque this beast to 2K and it is a short squeal
It will be back on the dyno soon enough with a K&N filter in the OEM air box and 2 to 3 more pounds of boost. We should see more than 160 at the wheels easily, but I do believe I said that before
The base line run was 125 FWHP. I left with one less pony than we started with
I will be bringing the OEM air filter just in case the MAF won't play nice with the K&N
We planned to install a catch can, but unless I can find a Chevy OEM catch can to try and keep the 1.4 happy
Fen -- let me know when you get your Verano. If the Cruze kit doesn't fit out of the box, it will when I am done with it.
