...so who has actually run their Aveo?
Once we develop our turbo system(s) for this car, we want to hit 13's at least.... maybe after some further development of the chassis. Kinda moot point to do much with the chassis when it doesn't make any power to push it anywhere NEAR the limits...
Limits? what limits?
Umm question. How much power you expect from a turbo? 20-30hp? 50hp? I have no clue....
hopefully upwards of 80+hp
built drag block, 600+hp at the wheels
You guys are planning on almost doubling the HP in the aveo? how are the clutch and transmission going to hold up? good?
lol no way! you cant expect to turbo the aveo without having to do something about it holding power.
that's what I thought! I could understand running stock with a 30% increase in power....but 75% lol
we have a test and tune night 3-4 times a week out here at LACR http://www.lacr.net/index.html i plan on taking my 2004 out soon.
let us know! curious to see...
my dad saw one down at atco raceway racing against a civic.... it did high 15's while the civic did low 13's ....it pretty much the laugh of the track
My friend Sean use to take his Ford Festiva down to LACR and would run against anyone that had an open lane that was cool everyone would chear him on in that FORD no matter what he ran against like cars that where high 9's and stuff
so anything yet? :roll: :roll: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
High 15s isn't bad considering stock is mid 17s. That's running faster than a 2.3 L Mazda 3 stock... Sentra Spec V is only mid 15's.Quote:

hmm maybe it was 16's then but my dad said it just had a fart can
I took mine to Las Vegas Motor Speedway and run an 18.3 over and over again. Our elevation messes up our times a little bit though. That was with the modified intake, with and without the muffler.
Removing the muffler made no difference??Quote:

It's a 2004 black hatchback with auto trans.
I raced it exactly 10 times to get a good picture of it's base ability and:
Averages: .3364 R/T, 18.8388 sec 1/4 time @ 72.585 MPH
Best: .006 R/T, 18.701 sec 1/4 time and 73.35 MPH
Is yours an AT or a 5sp?Quote:

You'll have trouble with the tranny. The D16s supposed to be good for 160lbsft. This is sorta a rumour but it's seam to work out well. You can always put in a D20 (good for 200lbsft) but if your going all out it might be worth building the D16 up, It's probably lighter. Also I sell clutch kits that can handle up to 700whp so no problems thereQuote:

Yeah, but that was at ATCO. I would be running 11s if I was there.Quote:

i never raced my kalos (aveo) 1.4 16v but i got 75 MPH in 15 sec. that means tha i can go 1/4 mile in mid 15's?
noooo, completely different, if your car did hit 75 from a dead stop in 15 seconds, then I assume you would end up faster at the finish line but those extra 3+ seconds could be traction or takeoff in the beggining, or maybe crossing the line because the car has very slow acceleration after around 75-80mph.
EDIT: I didnt even see how old this was :roll:
I might have had the fastest Aveo with a time of 16.0. That was my '05 that was completely gutted with slicks and skinnies in the rear though. I look forward to the track opening back up again in the spring, so I can see what this '10 Aveo will do stock.
your 10 will probably be a little slower, unless the taller gearing lets you eliminate a shift. but the taller gearing is worse. for drag racing..
I'm expecting mid 18s with it. Like I said the only reason my '05 was running 16.0s was because I had it completely gutted, < 1800 lbs and was also running on drag slicks and MT skinnies in the rear. I do wish B&M still made a short shifter for this car though because the shifting is horrible. I bought the one they made for the '05 and it made a HUGE difference. I know you're not talking about the gear shifting when you're talking about the gear ratios, I just wanted to point out the horrible shifting anyways.
I baselined my car at a local 1/8th mile..It ran an 11 sec flat..cant remember the mph..backed it up twice. All I did was take out the air filter, left about 4k and powershifted 2nd n 3rd about 6k. In my opinion, not bad for the little car. I now have cai and plan on doing the underdrive pulley and exhaust and going back. It should pick up quite a bit but w/o a way to tune these cars I dont see it getting in the 9s w/0 further mods and extensive weight reduction
I'm puttin 1000hp in a baby carriage as soon as I get back from my trip to the padded room hotel.:happy6:
i would like too see pics of that installQuote:
