Hey guys, im Nemesis from South Africa. I got a 2009 Chevy Aveo 1.6. I just recently installed a short air induction kit on my car and gettin good torque and power out of the car. But what i want to ask is, at the end of the year im planning on putting modified manifold and powerflow exhaust, will the stock engine be able to handle those modifications?
Shouldn't have any problems.Quote:

Did you also do similar modifications to your Aveo or wat modifications did you make?
What do the guys refer to when talkin about the headers?
is yours a 16v?
i would say 2" free flowing "open" exhaust, or 2.25" if you replace all the factory components, like resonators, mufflers, etc..
header replaces the manifold off the head.
Here's a picture of a cat-delete header (made by xiaogary in Singapore). This header removes the catalytic converter altogether, getting rid of the biggest restriction in your exhaust system. You could do this depending on how strict your emission system testing is.

Thanx for the pics guy. Is he like the only person that makes that manifolds? Because i havent found any1 in SA that has made a modified manifold for Aveo's. How can i get in contact with that guy, should i follow the link or is there a email address?
What do you guys no abt "Air power compressors". Is it any good and worth while? Its said to auto adjust electronic frequency system. To fasten super plugs igniting the engine accurately within the shortest time, and also to empower the piston pressure to its maximun explosion. To all kind of petrol vehicles.

Above is a link then you will be able to see picks of it.
Xiaogary did have the headers for sale on eBay a few days ago. Just search eBay for "Aveo header " and if he has one for sale - it will pop up.Quote:

Hey me agen
When putting in the CAI, do 1 use the original airpipe and pc inlet on the original pipe or wat? Coz if u do then u have to cut it out from the original pipe.
It's glued in there. You have to carefully cut the glue with a sharp blade. All the riffles and stuff in the original pipe would defend the purpose of the air free-flowing into the engine.

Thanx for that, i was plannin on doin that but just wanted to make sure. Oh... i think i mite have bearings problems ecspicially for the rear sides, bt i only gt abt 30 000km on the clock, is bearings also part of the warranty of the car and is it a common problem?
What size wheels would you recommend for the Aveos? 15" or 17", just to close up that arch? Will lower springs close the arch with a set of 15", pleas advice?
go in for the warenty, the bearings will never go out that fast
i like 15's but you can go up to 17's easily
Going bigger with the rims will not necessarily close the arch. If anything, it will make it more apparent.
Lowering the car will close them up a bit though...
Could it be the way i drive that the bearings mite be giving problems or wat is normal the cause?
not unless you go rally cross every weekend lol
:mrgreen: Nope i dnt do any rallyin. I just thought it would be because i drive the car to hard and race any Golf or Opel that pulls up next to me at the robots!
I sumtyms not really strugglin bt the 1st and 2nd gear, doesnt go in so gud sumtyms grinds away, cud that be the pressure plate or wat?
Hey Nemesis
I'm from SA as well, and liking this tread, getting some nice tips ;-)
Im glad you liking the thread and that its helping you to. Where in South Africa are you from. Im in Cape Town. Are u also planning any mods for you Aveo. Im planning on having a fast enuf good looking Aveo in Cape Town, being the underdog at Killarney, hoping to suprise every1! Bt will do it at a slow pace though.
I forget to ask you guys about this minor problem if it is a problem. Both my dad and i gt aveo's he gt a sedan 1.5 model though. Anyway the shocks of the car males a noise wen going over a hump or so, is that anything to worry about they tried tightening the bolts of my dad bt nuthing helps wat cud be the probelm?
No big upgrades... would like to trade it in ;-)Quote:

no emission system testing in Florida put mine on 4 yrs ago.
I go with 17x7 with 205/45r17 tires.
I have 205/50r16 had 45's wish I stood with the 14's they came with with 195/50r14 I want the car lower.
they make 195/45r14s.. i have 195/45r15s. would like to test fit some 195/50r13s for autocross.. (not sure 13" will fit over brakes)
i have 18s and im lowered and its perfect
Sowi Aveo Joe, wat exactly did u put on, regarding the manifold? I cudnt understand ur reply regarding that.
I have google Opel Corsa modified manifolds and they all luk similar to the Aveo modified manifold that the other guy made, am i correct in sayin so? Because then i would possibly get a opel one in South Africa to fit on my Aveo.
exhaust manifold? I got it from eBay. there is a forum member by the name of xiaogary he sold me a header .
well ill probably be doing this to my dads aveo, now the SA corsa and aveo motors have the same design so ill be using a opel corsa manifold. but what i want to know is can i jjust remove the cat and the car will drive fine or will the co2 sensor need to be changed to one that gives a false reading to the ecu?
not sure? I'm thinking you wont have to change it just make sure theres one on there. co2's are universal.
