if you all are looking for a way to add more whp and over all better performance, I would recommend looking at the Zzperformance kit. I’ve been wanting to do stuff to my Cruze for a long time and I have done my research and still am, but the zzperformance kit is so far a great option. By the end of it you’ll have up to 400whp no problem

What are you talking about? ZZP doesn't sell any kits that will even get a Cruze to 400 WHP.

 

[Valpo Cruze]

ZZP stickers are worth 5HP each so just buy 80 stickers and BAM an extra 400 HP. 😆 😁

I bet I have 80 stickers

They give you 4 every time you buy something.

4?!?! Darn, I feel like a peasant only getting 1 per purchase.

The ones they give me are tiny compared to companies like MSD, Pauter, and Diamond.

You can't increase hp without motor work.

400 horses is going to be very tough if not impossible on a 1400cc motor.

My motorcycle has a bigger engine and I'd be lucky to see 100 hp if i wanted to dump $15g into it. For that kinda money I'd rather buy a new bike.

Exactly why @JLL just went through all that work upgrading to forged internals. I'd definitely be leery on the stock stuff!

Yes sir! And I'm going to be EXTREMELY LUCKY if I even see 300 HP.

Well, now that you have been thoroughly bashed, I'm here to ...

Welcome you Aboard!

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

🤣^^^

Im happy if I can get my Cruze to 190 without diving into internals. 🖖

 

[SlyCruze]

it is possible, we'll just have to wait and see the ZZP turbo that is currently in development. 400WHP can be achieved as ZZP's drag sonic has that power level. there is a video on youtube that goes over the build. if you were to buy all of ZZP parts available plus the turbo they used with a custom manifold it is doable.

What does something liken that run?

The last time I read someone building 600 horses out of a v8. The heads popped off. He had to weld them on to the block.

Granted that was a couple decades ago.

I still can't see 400 horses out of 1400cc.
I see new bolts in the package but I'd think they'd have to bigger which means drilling the holes in the block.

I bet them piston rods are huge.
What about the crankshaft?

I don't know what their connecting rods look like but here are my custom Pauter rods. Stock on the right.

I forgot those were on their website. Those have been out of stock for over a year!

That's why I had some custom made.

It certainly makes sense - hard to install what you can't get.

ZZP told me in September 2020, November, and January, that they had no idea when or if they would be back in stock.
