1.8L of pure power....

[$ub$onic]

I to will be flashing back to stock on Friday

I am hoping that the performance tune bumps me up to more like 150hp/130tq. I know these are estimated flywheel numbers, but it is a good bit of information to have.

I was wondering where you bought the sunglasses compartment holder?I tried to look up that part number but couldn't find it on the GM parts web site.I need one of those!

 

[LS6-M22]

Never mind I just found it on ebay.Cool!

 

[mitdr774]

Heard back from Trifecta. reported numbers from the ECM are 159hp/130tq. Not bad numbers, but not sure it will get me into the 15s either. Hopefully I can finish my exhaust, dyno, and get to a track soon.

That's a lower torque number than the factory isn't it? The HP looks good though, that's up there with 1.4t's with just a tune.

 

[mitdr774]

Stock is 135/128 or 138/125 depending on the source. Either way I am looking at an estimated gain of 21-24hp and 2-5tq. Not huge gains in torque, but we are dealing with a n/a 1.8l economy engine.

I have no grand visions of beating tuned 1.4s since I am dealing with a huge gap in torque.

By far my favorite (and prolly fastest) 1.8L on here. Love the header coating.
Also I appreciate that you haven't derped or blacked out the LTZ 17's. I think they look great stock.

Get that thing to the qtr mile and rep the 1.8's.

lies

side note, how do yall average over 40mpg i cat get into the 30s half the time ?

 

[$ub$onic]

Not even into the 30!?! I can run it hard and still get 33. Do you live in a urban environment?

 

[mitdr774]

My lifetime average is only about 35.

I do need to get to a track soon. Hoping to manage to crack into the 15s.

Gotcha, I couldn't remember the stock torque, that's weird that with your mods you have such a small increase in torque.

traffic is what kills mine. maybe driving like a dick too.

 

[Preloader]

By far my favorite (and prolly fastest) non-power supplemented 1.8L on here.

Happy d.p?

There is this really well kept secret that some refer to as the 1.4T. It gets you low 40s without trying. :banana:
I sit in traffic constantly, out of my 90 mile per day commute most of the morning is stuck in traffic and I still see no less then 40 even with A\C on.


Sorry, I know this is a 1.8 thread and I'm not being nice. I apologize, just not enough to delete what I said.

My car wont move with the AC on :/ my car did randomly decide to grow a pair in fourth gear the other day.

I find it odd as well. Might just be that peak torque only went up a little, but torque went up greatly everywhere else?? It feels peppier compared to what i remember, but i rarely drive like a dick, so I do not have a great butt dyno for before and after. Compared to Zippypcs car, its a turd even with what I have done.

That would make sense.

 

[mitdr774]

Just a small addition.

I installed mine a few days ago, Great improvement!
