turbo

I am sorry, I do not mean to be rude, but I am serious and that is serious input.

And nemasys beat me to it....

The turbo kit I'm getting is $3,600 has a turbonetics turbo, with spearco intercooler, Godzilla BOV, evolution wastegate and all the necessary pluming, the speed shop I'm getting it from calls it a universal kit because they don't sell a manifold or downpipe with it. I know fitting the turbo will call for a lot of custom work. I have the wideband air/fuel sensor and AEM's ems is designed to work with what i want. I'm not trying to get 500hp out of it cause i already have a vehicle that is turbo and supercharged that alone cost me over $7,000 for just the intake manifold and EFI system. I'm just looking to make the driving experience in my car a little better. Money isn't an issue, if I wanted something outrageous I'd just drop a completely different engine in the thing. If it doesn't work then I'll just put the turbo on my full-size blazer

My face when.....

If you spend that much on that "universal" crap, then you will easily spend at least $10000 after you blow the transmission apart. If you have all that money, why do you have an Aveo? I just think we are all being trolled here, I do not know. $7000 for a custom manifold and some engine tuning......and a svm Aveo at that?

AEM's ems is designed to work with what i want.

besides the fact that "brand name" parts doesnt mean much when every part in one system is a different brand (do they work together, matched in size, flow, boost requirements, and engine size, etc?).. The AEM ems is not made for an aveo, so how is it designed to work with what you want? I understand it can be integrated into full standalone. BUT that makes it an overpriced system to wire in, plug and play is the only feature that make it worth that money, (if you consider it worth that amount of money in the first place).

this is another case where i always suggest to people, decide what hp/ etc you want, then design everything to determine how to get there. For what you are spending you could do a bolt in, chipped, swap good for almost 200 hp.

For this installation I would recommend wiring the ECU in parallel to the OEM ECU, not as a replacement. In parallel configuration the OEM ECU remain in place and controls accessories and functions such as AC, dashboard, Auto Trans, DBW throttle, etc… The Haltech taps into all of the signals for Crank, Cam, CTS, AIT, MAP, etc… The Haltech will take direct control over fuel and ignition, so you can tune the engine for your turbocharger. I attached a generic parallel diagram to illustrate the concept of parallel ECU installation.

This car uses a different ignition system than most cars on the road, i doubt the Haltech would be compatible with it. You better research that before you drop the dough for it.

The Daewoo uses a positive going +5V pulse for ignition coming from the ECU, it's unlike 95% of the cars on the road which simply direct drive a coil by grounding the coil to fire.

In the Daewoo the drivers are inside the coil assembly making it a pain in the arse to add aftermarket ignition systems.

I've talked Eric from Haltech and he said there system works with the E-TEC 2 16V, so far he's the only one who emailed me back saying there system will work with GM's ecu

I mean I'm glad you're getting your fuel problem solved... What are you doing about your actual intake manifold? Pistons? Rods? Cam choice? I mean there's a lot of holes in your plans. Without these things and a lot more all you're doing is blowing more air into a motor that other than by means of electronic control for all intensive purposes will be stock. Your fuel pump is not going to hold up, you'll want to run new wiring for the new one, new wiring to pretty much everything and ground for the management system. The point they're getting into is that there's a lot more into this than even the few things I've mentioned here. When I build a new motor for an eclipse, talon, laser application I spend about 6500 just in parts putting the block together. That doesn't include the cost of the block either. That's for a road trip stable cross race able daily driver with 388 whp. I'm not even into a 500 hp bracket either. If you don't know exactally what you're getting into before hand, or have a specialist doing the work for you who does. Your 7 grand you're dumping into your aveo could turn into 17 real fast. If you're going to build a turbo car. Find a vehichle that you can use a suitable engine for it. By suitable I mean an engine that there's proper resources for. Otherwise you're just a fast and the furious type. Save yourself the money on the turbo and just go buy a nos bottle and blow it up. The nos+ the new motor will be cheaper than the 7k you put in the turbo on a stock platform.
