What are some good ways to make more power on the 1.8l? without sacrificing too much fuel economy

Hey all been driving my 2014 diesel cruze for a while now. Been ghosting cruzetalk.com for the same amount of time and figured why not get into the community more. Don't need the cruze as a daily driver any more, and have decided to go back into the track world 13 years later. With just the...

Selling a cold air intake for a 2011-2014 1.4L Turbo Cruze. Practically new. Used for not more than 5-10,000 miles. Freshly cleaned and oiled up. Ready to install. California Smog Legal. CARB#: D-269-49 See it here at Summit...

I couldn't seem to find any videos for the valve using a CAI. If anyone is curious this is how it sounds.

Anyone have these springs on their Cruze? How do they feel? How do you like them? Please post pics. I am considering getting them for my 2017 Hatchback LT with stock 16" wheels.

I was looking through the options GM has for performance parts and the cat back upgrade they sell looks pretty nice but it is priced at about $1000, has anyone tried the oem performance parts and if so what are your thoughts on them? thanks in advance.

Just bought it a couple weeks ago still practically brand new. Sounds good and looks great just decided to put the money elsewhere instead. Comes with ecm flash from dealer for free. It’s a one time flash free of charge that I haven’t had done on mine yet. For gen 2 17-19. Asking $325 plus...

So finally on my way to my parents to use the garage to put the ported intake on car bogs down and as always when something goes wrong the check power steering and check traction control messages pop up and look at that blinking check engine light shows up, oh great misfire. So towed to their...

BNR is proud to announce the immediate availability of our High Performance Bypass Valve for the Gen 2 Cruze 1.4T! Faster Spool More boost, sooner More boost, longer Increased throttle response MUCH louder chirp/blow off sounds from the turbocharger, especially with an aftermarket intake...

I just noticed that the Cruze is no longer listed on GMs website for performance parts. Do you think they listed it somewhere else or possibly got rid of it all together? I know despite seeing them **** near everywhere that they cut the model but what are they doing with that inventory of...

Thursday I went to the local autozone to order brakes. I had been perusing their site and after some simple maths I reckoned that the performance brake kit with the cross drilled rotors and carbon fiber/ceramic pads was a good deal compared to buying parts separately. Well, as I was...

https://www.chevrolet.com/performance/cruze/suspension Anybody try this official kit from GM yet? I'm really curious because it's a nice 1/2" drop but with improved spring rates and a thicker sway bar. I have a 18 RS Hatch and I'd love for it to be a little more confident on the road. I think a...

I have a 2013 1lt Cruze. I am seriously sadden by its stock performance and really want to do as much as I can for 1k or so to at least make this car into something a bit more fun to drive and give it a bitmore horsepower. Any ideas friends?

Hey all, it appears the fuel from the car sitting has rung my injectors a few mechanics have told me so, either way if I cant get a hold of decent performance injectors to replace these then I'll try to clean them Anyone have experience with aftermarket injectors on these cars without re-tuning...

The headlights keep the charging system at 14v. The electronics seem to like 14v alternator better then 12v battery. Both fan and cooler air are more consistent. Also. High side pressure should be between 210 - 235. Depending on outside air temperature. As high as 250 if you live in Phoenix...

So it appears our fellows at the Fiesta ST forums, have found a way around the heat soak from their engines, while heat soak always will be an issue, it can be greatly reduced; at a low cost, and I didn't know it. Previously I filled up with regular (@2,50/gal), and added 1 to 2 gallons of...

Long-time lurker, but new member and first-time poster. Respectfully requesting some advice and direction regarding future performance modifications / necessary additions to my 2015 Cruze 1.4L LT/RS. List of current modifications is as follows: Engine: Trifecta 1.4L Turbo Elite Tune Spectre...

Hi, I have a 2011 Cruze Eco 1.4T. The airco is horrible at anything above 90F outside. The Cruze suffers a lot from heat soak. Is the same true for the diesel as well? Also, i used to drive about 66-75% highway, and instant MPG was around 50 at 60MPH; with an average of 37,4MPG. Nowadays my...
