Anyone used it?

@Thebigzeus has one.

My review here: Big Zeus Build Thread

That's a review on a highly modded 1.4 though. What about a stock tune 1.4.

 

[Thebigzeus]

Highly modded your say 🥰

Are you holding out on us?

 

[AutumnCruzeRS]

I guess I would say extremely modded for you JLL.

 

[SlyCruze]

i have it on mine. there is definitely something in the low end.

I’m thinking of doing this and porting the manifold. Should net me roughly 20-30 whp?

That is highly unlikely with a 1.4L engine. IMO There just isn't enough displacment to benefit THAT much from increased intake manifold volume. The volumetric efficiency of a given engine can only be increased so much.

Only reason I say that is because both of these mods claim a 10-15 whp gain.

You almost never get the estimated power gains that the manufacturer lists. There's too much variability from one vehicle to another. And if you do get the gains, most of the time they are in different areas of the power band, so it's not a linear gain.

Makes sense since the spacer only helps low-midrange and porting it really only helps the top end.

I saw the spacer on bnr 2 days ago I am interested in it also. JLL is right. I ported my intake awhile ago and put pcv 2.0 kit on it. Felt a difference in the pull in higher rpm’s lost the low end torque like most people claim after porting. But the hp gains are not as high like JLL stated. You notice the power difference in other areas like passing or when your ac/heat is on high and the car doesn’t lag from a full stop. Just my opinion haha. Im really interested in the trifecta tune tho seems like a better way to add performance to our cars without adding EXPENSIVE mods.

A tune is the best power per dollar modification that you can do on the 1.4L LUJ. EVERYTHING after that has diminishing returns in terms of power per dollar.

Take a look. I'm the 1st post. @cruze991

How much have you spent on mods for your Cruze? 2020 Edition

I'll be honest, the point of this thread is to make me feel better about my addicti.....I mean automotive spending habits. (Edited: 01/07/2023) Powder Coating for Exhaust Manifold & Turbocharger: $350 Initial Tune and Autocal: $600 Custom 3" Intake: $200 Custom 3" Exhaust: $1,100 Custom T25...
