This is just the beginning with Cruze VGT turbo and clutch upgrade you can achieve even more in magnum. As i said if you have the dough you can get more.

Check the dyno figures of Remapped Cruze tested at RedRoosterRacing.

552nm of Torque
223 bhp

brraj,those BHP and torque figures for the Cruze are just insane! Those numbers are still taking time to sink into my head!!! I mean it would be like going in a roller coaster ride every time you take the cruze a spin on the highway.As it is cruze has monsterous power.With this i think it can pull a fully loaded Volvo bus and cruze easily!!

Akshay1234 · 24th December 2010, 12:32

223 Bhp at the wheels would be about 250 bhp at the crank. How is a 100bhp increase possible with just a remap? Are there other mods too on that car?

I mean 100bhp from just a remap would be fine on like a Q7 V12 TDI but on a Cruze?

Either way, I doubt it will be too reliable since it would be running on its limits.

I hope I have to eat my words, since if it is reliable we have a good alternative to Petes which makes more power.

kpzen · 24th December 2010, 12:49

Oh Dayyyuuummm !

Those numbers are insane, takes the family sedan into the supercar category.
That thing won't Cruze, it will take off.

brraj · 24th December 2010, 16:44

Even i was shocked with the torque figures, Time to collect money to upgrade cruze VGT turbo and the clutch.

Its just a remap, with a Remap lot of things are possible.

This is a conservative map, Cruze engine has much more tolerance level than what maps he has given is what the tuner says.

To check for the reliability issues let me complete around 20-30k kms in my car, Will write a review about it. These guys are so much confident with their remaps that they challenge to replace the car if you find engine problems with their remaps.

I have the Cruze and I would take the tuners graphs with a pinch of salt.
Please ask the tuner to show a before and after graphs of any car and whether the values for torque match the manufacturers figures.
I think these figures are way over board. Get them to do a dyno of a stalk car before the remap and later just after the remap.
Irmscher the tuning house of GM does not approve of anything more than 466NM at 2300 rpm and 186 bhp at 4000 rpm.
Something is cooking!! Probably the clutch plate.

Insane Insane numbers those. if those are true, the cars internals are being pushed to the limits, such power on a FWD car can be disastrous, over 200nm increase in torque can kill the stock clutch in no time..

Knight Rider · 25th December 2010, 02:35

Awesome figures, Is this process reversible? how does it affect the warranty of the car? Also how does the internals take the punishment, Does the tuner have any test cars that has passed the torture test (if i may say)?

blackbeast · 25th December 2010, 03:37

brraj,

what are you upto? you are talking about figures which i never even dreamt of. why change so many parameters if just a remap along with suspension,breaks and clutch to support it can bring out 225 bhp.I am obviously referring to the modification section. I do know these tuners exist on the board of team-bhp. It would be great if they pitch in.

Motoringlover · 27th December 2010, 07:55

brraj - Thank you very much for sharing the news, Could you please share if the mods have affected city drivability, I am always been shy of a remap - simply from the after effects (presumably negative). Any comments on FE. Please advise.

The guy who drives the cruze is a maniac(most of the time in 190-220), If that was the case he would have ceased his clutch by now.

Yes, you can get back to stock.

Any mods effects the warranty.

Yes, You can call him and take testdrive for yourself and findout more.

You mentioned all but missed VGT turbo for magnum to go to that level.

City drivability should not be effected as the VGt turbo spools at 1800-4000rpm.

City - 10.5
Highway - 8-9 again everything depends on you right foot.

Top speed - They did a meter down of 220kmph.

It's quite possible to get some insane numbers however how safe it is for the engine internals, clutch kit, gearbox and stuff. If all the setting are kept at aggressive, I am not sure it's going to be safe for other bits on the long run.

If 550Nm of torque is at wheels that would equal to around 680NM+ torque at the crank. Now that coming off from a 2L 4 cylinder turbo diesel engine is doubtful, that's more than the 4.2L Audi engine.

I agree to other have said, a before and after graph will be more realistic to believe those figures.

kj302 · 28th December 2010, 20:18

Mind blowing!! Am visiting TDI Racing next week. Peted Magnum is not enough!

brraj · 31st December 2010, 10:56

I have asked the tuner to reply for those "Reliability" questions.

Which package are you going for? A remap or turbo upgrade.

pranavt · 31st December 2010, 13:09

So it's a remap for a turbo upgrade, correct?
