Eddie's 2014 Cruze slow build

Bought this car about a month ago with 48k miles. 2014 2LT 1.4T...leather, no back up cam or sensors...thought it was odd for a 2LT.




PO had the windows and markers tinted, plastidip'd the front cross bar thing on the grille and put in a amp/sub. First mod was Weathertechs, got a sweet deal on ebay for a mint set. Next up was an AEM intake and a tune. I come from the truck world where my built motor is tuned by Black Bear Performance, so I asked Justin to handle the tuning on the Cruze as well. His tune woke up the lil 1.4 and it actually spins the tires now.

So with that out of the way, I looked into a trunk release button and picked up this lil guy



Just waiting on my 2 shot relay to come in and it will be installed.

Since this thing didn't come with a backup cam, I found a kit on Amazon by Rosen/EchoMaster FC-GMLN



Its no longer made but Im hoping it works....will go in as soon as the relay shows up.

Just paid for a BNR boost accumulator, LS7 coils, bigger injectors and BNR handheld. Once it all gets here, I'll contact Jerry and have him tune it. Plan is to eventually make this E85 capable. With gas prices going up 12 cents per gallon in California, I'm hoping I can take advantage of cheaper fuel.
and done






Paint match was very close and install was a breeze. Its not taped down because I want to silicone the 4 holes on the lid...just bolted down for now but the tape is on the spoiler side

scored a like new BNR boost accumulator, used BNR handheld, used BNR LS7 coil kit, used AEM wide band..autometer boost gauge and a trans temp sensor, flow matched 10cc+ injectors (Were used on e85). Looks like I'm going with BNR tuning now and more than likely will get the missing pieces to run e85. 2.09/gal for e85 vs 3.50/gal for 91. Paid less than what the coil kit costs new for all of this stuff, awesome deal.
battery died today and yesterday...picked up an AGM 94R from sears for $158.
Placed an order with Evolution Autowerks...time to light up the night :cool:
Ordered and received my flex fuel sensor ACDelco 13577429, ordered and received my Bosch green giants 0280155968 from BNR.



now im just waiting on sensor pigtail 13352241 and Molex MX64 pins to connect the sensor to the ECM.

I know it's a tough question but how much would you say you spent on your whole reverse camera installation? I really want to add the exact setup to my 14'.

I think I paid like $100 and it came with everything needed. My car came with Mylink already, so it was pretty easy to do. I got real lucky as the seller was closing his shop and I got a killer deal, similar kits sell for $500+

installed rear sway bar, moog front sway bar links, zzp catless mid pipe and a shark fin antenna from bnr. Been averaging 2-3mpg less on e85 vs 91. That's about 10% drop but e85 has been 2.19 and 3.89 for 91. Also added camber bolts up front and a toe shim to the RR as it was in the yellow. Camber was still in the green but borderline.
How about a fresh picture or two?
i'll get some pics soon, has been raining on and off and the car has been dirty. Added an Eco front lower lip spoiler thing...gives it a lower look. Also ordered a Forge recirculating valve from BNR

ordered a fiberglass sub box from intense autowerks, sundown E-10 and Audio Control LC2i from EMF car audio. Was hoping Andrei would build me one but I never heard from him so I'll give Intense a try. I already have KnuKoncepts power, speaker and RCA wiring....just need the hardware now.
wrapped the chrome trim piece. Vinyl was a perfect match.
