A new MAP is like $20-25

 

[Blasirl]

Isn’t there two? Is map same as baro sensor? One on intake manifold and one on charge pipe?

MAP and MAF - two different

Yes, they are both MAPs

EDIT:
The Baro measures the barometric (outside air) pressure - 55568175
The MAP measures the Manifold Absolute (air inside the manifold) pressure. -55567257

The O2 sensor between the cat and the engine is the “upstream” sensor. The one after the cat is “downstream" sensor. Generally, the upstream sensor is more important for engine timing and air/fuel ratios.

Check out this link. Very good info on O2 sensors here and much more.

So it's no real issue?

 

[Blasirl]

It's existed with a fix kit manifold as well as a dorman replacement. Thanks again for all the info on this!

But didn't you say you had issues with the fix kit and how it was installed?

 

[Blasirl]

I have version 1.1 and had absolutely no issues. It really depends on how careful you were on installation.

 

[Blasirl]

Got a little something new on the way 🤭

A new toy...

I didn't think a stock turbo could put out 25 psi.

If it's true, be careful. Your getting into Moradajoe territory.

I posted a video from when my exhaust camshaft sensor was on the fritz (although at the time I had no clue) and I was pegging the Autometer mechanical boost gauge I have installed.

I fixed my wrong info ...

The MAP measures the Manifold Absolute (air inside the manifold) pressure. -55567257

Ordered some ACDelco 2173076 injectors this evening, BNR is now supporting tuning on these. Should be a pretty decent upgrade for the price they are!

I had to look these up. Cadillac attack! I tried to find the PSI, but only found the cheapest out of 7 places is CARiD (except Rock Auto - but you have to add shipping)

Sorry about the crude numbering, @Thebigzeus

Here is the cylinder numbering. Note: Some people often confuse the cylinder numbering with the firing order. They are NOT the same thing. The firing order for the 1.4L LUJ is 1-3-4-2.

Crude and rude, sometimes that's the way you gotta roll!

 

[Blasirl]

@Thebigzeus hey brother! Loving your build. Had a quick question, maybe @[email protected] can chime in as well. . Just installed the intake spacer from BNR in my 2017 1.4L turbo manual, but I've got a weird idle now. Got limp mode initially after install, but reset the ecu and the check engine went away with the limp. Still getting funky idling, so any tips/info would be appreciated.

*Edit: took another look under the hood after posting here, turns out I hadn't fully seated the charge pipe to both the throttle body and intercooler. . after solidifying the connections at both ends, took care of the issue. Disregard lol

Welcome Aboard!

Don't forget to introduce yourself and your Cruze here.

 

[Blasirl]

I wanna see the big CRACK!

 

[Blasirl]

Got the replacement manifold in. Here it is along with the stock turbo. Look at that crack! Got a good working spare now. What’s the best way to store a turbo?

That's pretty big!

 

[Blasirl]

Running great with whatever I throw at em! Are you pushing hard on the top so they pop onto each plug? There is a lot of resistance. At first I messed this up. I now pop them on them give a tug to be sure they are secured on the plug head.

new stock plugs with stock gap.

Good to know.

Glued the air straightener in tonight with JB Kwik weled, will be interesting to see if acceleration smooths out a bit. Not my prettiest work, but it gets the job done and no one else will know since it's under the filter. The part was a tad too big, or the intake tube a little small rather. I put epoxy around the edges and pushed it all the way in, then smeared along the edge.

Mine was basically a press fit. Do you think they will cause issues if they move a bit?

 

[Blasirl]

Nice!

I've had a Cruze leather steering wheel in a box for the last 2 years. How was the installation?

Easy!

 

[Blasirl]

Got some black center caps, I was surprised to see they appear to be genuine GM. My factory ones were flaking around the logo and the black to me looks a lot cleaner. Really happy for $25!

Are those the 16" rims?

 

[Blasirl]

Got a new key fob today and moved the key over to it. The range is still an issue, or maybe it's user error... When I walk away and lock the car, it locks once, but when I click again it doesn't do anything immediately... to beep the horn and confirm lock. Maybe I don't need to do that?

Where did you have that done? I have a key fob, but cant get the old one open to switch the guts.

 

[Blasirl]

In the never ending quest to search for less plastic parts I have uncovered this. I am going to compare it to the original tonight and give it a test fit.

I have one of those. Fits like a glove.

 

[Blasirl]

Care to share the link where you got yours? I had to go back to plastic… Never got one that would thread in sadly


I did it myself, used a metal pry tool that is used for mobile phones to split the halves apart.

Looks like it is no longer available, but I will look a bit more.
