I got off my lazy butt and tried to make a quick video of the car at WOT.
I strapped the camera to my seat but despite my efforts it's still pretty shaky but you get the idea lol
Boost atm is just under 6 psi :D
Watch in HD for better sound!

is that still piggybacked? and are you coasting the last part? looks good, like fun.
Yep still piggybacked, it ran good tonight so i decided to record it, yeah after i shift into 4th i let off the gas and started to brake at the end.
I raised the boost to 8 psi tonight, highest i can go without a boost controller i dont have one yet... A quick retune and wow that thing is violent! 17 inch tires on big ass wheels light up under the car in 2nd gear just flooring it, the power gain is crazy over the 5.5-6 psi i had before.
Blow off valve sound changed too and the turbo is alot louder than before, I LOVE IT LOL!!
Make sure you do not blow the welds on the intake.
Don't forget about double clutching like you should too.Quote:

For a quick comparison i raced my friend's 2009 WRX hatchback, the one with 265 hp.
I raced him twice, once when i had the same tune as in the video above at 5.5-6 psi, he passes me just barely.
At 8 psi he stood no chance, the only advantage is the takeoff cause subies are just plain crazy off the line its ridiculous, after that i pull away constantly :icon_smile:
At this power level i should be able to beat a Speed 3 too, 1/4 times by my estimates is in the 14's easily maybe less very hard to tell!
I gave someone a ride at 8 psi and hes pretty knowledgeable in cars, 1st thing he said was "WTF!" lol than he's like dude a good friend of mine has a modded mustang (not sure to what extent) and your car pulls harder than his... :toothy10:
Some other guy passed thru my town too he lives about an hour from my town, guy sent me a message on youtube a few weeks ago (he has an aveo too) and when he saw my car he rushed over to see it. I also gave him a ride and he's like dude this car is nuts lol
It was a fun evening!
You were too conservative with your times before hand, you should be able to crack 13's easily with a little more boost. From what I seen on the video on facebook, you should be there, how much boost do you think you can run with the new computer/ecu stuff? I still want to see a turbo'ed 1.6 though, I can finally have some proof with my 1/4 mile time estimates :D
The video on facebook (same one as above) compared to now is nothing, i really should make another one to see the difference. It's much faster now.
I want to try to run max of 10 pounds of boost, yes try because its way too easy to just turn the dial up lol. At 10 psi i should be close to the torque limit of the D20, i don't want to blow it afterall. I could run 10 right now if i had a boost controller. I just installed the biggest wastegate spring i had to get 8 psi.
Im glad the clutch works good and handles the power at 8 psi like its nothing.
The new ignition kit will def make things safer in boost but the car runs very well in it right now and the stock timing is well adapted for boost. The problem lies in closed loop operation, the ecu is going nuts trying to figure out why the engine is running and it doesnt have full control over it so its adding and pulling timing like mad making the car jerk around a bit.
When you do finish up the little things, you plan on putting it on a dyno as well? Those numbers would be very interesting to look at.
I'd really like too, not sure where i can find a shop with a dyno around here tho. I know of one for sure but its like 2 hours away :(
I would have to ask around, it's pretty expensive too!
I know, I was just looking around here for the hell of it, I was surprised lmao
Just revisiting an old thread. The AveoSS GM should have built- it would have changed the fate& aftermarket of the aveo.
I wonder if Nemasys is still around?
Of course I am :)
Go check out the thread "Hi" I made in the open forum. You can see my new toy and a video of it.
Do you have any more info on your turbo install build?
Yes. Don't do it!Quote:

For starters getting something to tune the car properly is not an easy feat, the cheapest would be to convert the car to a ford ignition system and use a megasquirt.
You can easily control fuel via additional injectors and a controller and leave ignition timing to the stock ECU, but that severely limits what you can do.
Then there's the transmission that can't hold alot of power (roughly 200 whp), you will also need a performance clutch which can be hard to source/find. And alot of custom work... and custom = $$$$$
For the amount of work required and cash involved, you best buy a factory boosted car, like my Mazdaspeed 3 for example, with less money invested in the Mazda than the Aveo, it's a **** ton faster and immensely more reliable.
The power gains vs what it costs/time/headaches are not worth it.
well ignoring the "don't do it part"Quote:

Well you obviously have no idea what you are talking about. Just look at all of the threads on this forum. Guys are going to turbo their Aveo for a few hundred bucks worth of ebay and junkyard parts. Get with the program. 1000 tops if you go all in.;)Quote:

I've done it, and it cost more than $1000 and alot of custom work. Where are you gonna find a clutch that can hold the power? Do you have a custom turbo manifold? (better fork up the cash if you don't) What are you going to use for EMS? (you do realise this car uses an ignition system that's unlike 95% of other cars on the road) How about Injectors? And everything else that's needed for your kit to work? (electronics, gauges, safety measures etc etc) After you answer all of these, then come back to me with your bill, you will quickly see **** gets real expensive real fast!Quote:

I've been here way longer than you have friend, even when the forum was on it's old server. So before you go opening your mouth like you know what you're saying, know your place and learn a few things.
Btw, at the end of the day after you have lost all hope, patience and still scratching your head about various things, I'll be happily boosting in my 380 hp Mazda. I speak from experience, no matter how "nice" it sounds to have a boosted Aveo, it's not worth it. Sell it and buy a faster car. You will thank me later. Have a good day!
nemasys i think that he was sarcastically agreeing with you.
If he did, then I appologize, but it's hard to know when you are on a forum. The way he also wrote the post states otherwize for me. I don't feel offended, I'm just tired seeing people say it only costs this much for this or that thing when they actually have no idea what's involved.
+1 I would rather put a campfire out with my face then try and go through the trouble of boosting an aveo. Some things are just not meant to be done lol.Quote:

I have all the respect in the world for you and couldn't have said better what you did. I was being a smartass casue all of a sudden there are a lot of threads talking about their turbo build and it is all ebay parts and quotes of around 1K total. I know it is WAY more than that and everything has to be custom.
Sorry for poking the bear.
um well qoutes under 2k in parts... and it is doable... ever been to the daewootech, puerto rico aveo club, venezuela aveo club? homemadeturbo.com? grassroots motorsports? its not like im not doing research. im also doing it because i want to, i have another car, so this one off the road for awhile isnt a killer. its for fun. and ive done a civic turbokit before, now im just making my own. can disagree if you want but im here for info and to share. and with a name like aveojunk im guessing your biased anyways

look if you dont like the car get a different one. anything can be done with time and labor. im not stupid or a fool, i understand whats going on and the effort it takes. but dont **** on people for tryingQuote:
