Hello! :) What's everyone been up to?
Just curious how much was put into ur aveo.car+swap+turbo+tuning parts n labor???
How you been nemasys. And is your Aveo running?
Too much! Can't recall it's been years... Less than most people since I did everything myself, but it's still a significant investment if you want a 2.0L turbocharged, it's not even worth it imo cost vs what you get. It was a nice project for me but I've moved on to better things. I do miss it tho it was a blast to drive a boosted Aveo lol!Quote:

So it would need a new set of rings and whatever else is damaged...Quote:

I've learned pretty much everything there is to know about the engine and how to tune it, I currently have my own tune on stage 1 parts (basically full intake and fuel pump upgrade) and it's pushing out around 260 whp. It took a while to get it running at that power level while I learned how to tune it, but it's been alot more gratifying to see the end product.
Next year comes a turbo back and front mount intercooler which should open up the path to the near 300 whp mark, then a GT3071R big turbo upgrade, my goal is 370-380 whp daily driven, which is done easily with full bolt ons and a 3071R... Thing's gonna be a monster lol
Glad to see you have moved on. The aveo was a beast I remember watching your videos hoping mine could be that fast one day but its just a fast aveo. Are you on another forum id like to get a glimpse of the new project. I saw it when you bought it but nothing since. good luck and have fun with it.
I'm on Mazdaspeed Forums but I mostly use it for information and such I don't really have a build thread anywhere.
But here's a picture of it with the Aveo :)

Very nice ride.
That thing looks really nice. You gonna lower it any? I see what your talking about with the front mount, Ive never been a fan of top mount and it will give you more room to work with. The beast in the back, any plans for it? I know a few guys on here that would love that setup. You could sell it and pay for the rest of your current project. Just an idea hate to see that art go to waste brotha. Thanks for the new backround
I don't know what I'm doing with the Aveo, it's been sitting there for almost 2 years. I sold a few things off it, but there aren't alot of buyers around here and shipping parts isn't my forte. Probly gonna sell the sound system and wheels to a local guy, remove the rest of the turbo and try to sell it off. Rest of the car is gonna go to scrap, I've done too much to it for it to pass safety inspections here so it wouldn't be road legal without alot of work, which comes down to why not just buy another car for less money lol
Congrats on the mazda - yes they make more than just rotary. I had an old protege BG chassis with a GTR swap and loved it. Good luck with 380ishthat on a daily driver that will be wild
what have you sold on the aveo so far?:0
Couple of things to guys around here. I still have alot of parts I could sell.Quote:

I usualy run the car on my own custom tune with 91 octane fuel, it's the highest octane I can get in my town.
Using a nifty little program called "Virtual Dyno" I can take my Cobb Accessport datalogs and input the data into the program to give me an approximate hp and tq rating at the wheels. It's quite accurate to be honest.
Using my E85 tune, Virtual Dyno shows me an increase of roughly 40 whp over my 91 octane tune. That is pretty sweet considering the currents mods I have on the car... (basically stage 1 mods)
I made a short video of 2 quick pulls here it is:

do you still have your turbo parts? What engine did you swap in?
I still have them minus the BOV, they are all installed on the car, the engine is from a Canadian-only built Chevrolet Optra or the USA-built Suzuki Forenza.
im interseted on what parts you still haveQuote:
