Re: Cdnsigop - Turbocharged 2010 Vibe 1.8

Update: Heavily modified a Magnaflow 15759 cat back for the 2003-08 Matrix/Vibe's. Ran a 2.5" pipe into the resonator, then a 2.5" pipe to just before the axle back. Also replaced the dinky <~2" flange with a 2.5" donut. The improvement in mass flow through the engine is staggeri...

Re: Cdnsigop - Turbocharged 2010 Vibe 1.8

Nice video ... although a bit "shaky" but then again not many cars run smooth @ 120+ MPH :o Just what stretch of road did you run this on where you didn't get caught going those speeds? Hope you were not holding the camera also :? LOL It was not 120 MPH, but 180 km/h. I live near mucho fa...

Re: Cdnsigop - Turbocharged 2010 Vibe 1.8

Nice build you got going there. So are you just doing some street tuning or are you rolling on a dyno? If on a dyno what numbers you looking at right now. Purely street tuning. Haven't been to a dyno with this car. Nearest one wants $150 for 2 runs, and I cannot justify that sort of money for a pie...

Re: Cdnsigop - Turbocharged 2010 Vibe 1.8

One thing I should add: This is our only car right now, daily driven, with two baby seats in the back. All the work performed has been with a nod to (hopefully) long term durability and reliability. Since it is the daily driver, the installation and progress with this project had to be broken into s...

Re: Cdnsigop - Turbocharged 2010 Vibe 1.8

I will try to get a bunch more videos up, as time allows. For the turbo sounds, they are quite muted, what ...

Re: Cdnsigop - Turbocharged 2010 Vibe 1.8

Nice job! 8-) Questions - 1) Did the inside of the ?-shaped pipe from the turbo to cat get internally polished? 2) You should make a run on a dyno before and after you swap in that magnaflow exhaust! 3) Please tell me you left some room in your budget to get better tires!!! RS-A's are a horrible ti...

Re: Engine Shots! Post yer engine shots!

Turbocharged, non intercooled 1.8L 2ZR-FE in a 2010 Vibe base. Sorry its so filthy. Rustproofing is partly to blame... http://i1008.photobucket.com/albums/af205/cdnsigop/Turbo%202ZR-FE%202010%20Vibe/DSC03986.jpg http://i1008.photobucket.com/albums/af205/cdnsigop/Turbo%202ZR-FE%202010%20Vibe/DSC03987...

Cdnsigop - Turbocharged 2010 Vibe 1.8

Hi, I have owned my Vibe since around August 2009. Here it is as it sits before the snow fell. Oh yeah, I did build a turbocharger system for it :D ... http://i1008.photobucket.com/albums/af205/cdnsigop/Turbo%202ZR-FE%202010%20Vibe/DSC03793.jpg http://i1008.photobucket.com/albums/af205/cdnsigop/Turb...
