We Put a BIG TURBO on a Chevy Sonic! (because why not)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 июн 2021
- Today is a fun day! Today we take Rob Dyrdek's Chevy Sonic stunt car and decide to go full send with ZZPerformance V3 big wheel turbo! They also sent a lot of other goodies like high voltage coil packs, cold air intake, and much more! Once we got the car running I knew the best people to turn to with the 1.4 ecotech was ZZP - they even have a Chevy Sonic that runs 11 second quarter mile times! Once we get all this wrapped up our next mission is to get this thing either off road or on a rally stage! Thanks for watching and new uploads every Tuesday,Thursday, and Sundays!

I know this car is super niche and very different from what I've done in the past. So thank you to anybody who even stops by.
I'm gonna take a break on this one until more parts come in. For now it will go back to business as usual.
#zzperformance #zzp
I'm glad you found them, thats my go to for my cobalt ss.
It's great content. I really enjoy it 👍
Us sonic owners are definitely enjoying this content! Only a few people actually have well built Sonics out here
@@noahsifuentes663 I kinda really want one now lol...newer than my cobalt AND turbod.
as a sonic owner i am very excited for this build
This channel is the only one I've never had to unsubscribe from due to poor content or a creator poor in the heart. David is a lovely person and a great content creator. You've worked so hard to make it to where you are David. Keep it up.
That helps a lot friend. Thank you.
It's hard to take this comment seriously with that name lol
@@ThatDudeinBlue No problem. You love. Keep loving David. Run towards love. Spread love and positivity like you've been doing. Thanks for your hard work. It is appreciated. Hope you see this
@@svmuscle7677 I know lol. It's a weird story on how I picked this name
holy shit i read never as ever i was like da fuq are you smoking bruh hahahaha
The correct saying is "MO POWA BABY!"
*coughs in Donut*
This just makes me jealous there isn't a good turbo kit for my honda fit
Fab one up!
Shouldve bought a hyundai lol
Well a veloster since hyundai decided to use a bigger turbo than most others. Also they hired a famous guy who worked at bmw i heard.
@@rstuff1605 I think he is working with them for almost 10 years now.
Turbokit? can't you swap the 1.5 turbo from the Civic Si? My advice go check on Malaysian and Thai tuning scene
I've made so many. I v done 2 sidewinders and a log style. Pretty easy.
YESSSSSS super stoked to see where this project goes. The little 1.4 has a lot more potential than people think. Big thanks to ZZP for continuing to support the platform ^_^
When you say a lot more potential than people think, what does that mean exactly..? Numbers wise I guess. Genuinely curious, there must be a reason you're saying this.
More than I think would be like, above 200 wheel lol.
@@danielnelson4881 That’s a fair point. A lot of people sleep on the platform and doubt when I tell them I’ve got nearly 200 wheel with a stock turbo and take them for a drive. ZZP is dipping their toes in the 300+whp range rn with their drag car. Progress is kinda slow since they’re the only ones developing for this platform, but I’m glad someone is at least.
@@danielnelson4881 Well with full ZZP bolt-ons + tune, you are looking at about 230 wheel on e85. And ZZP's shop mule is currently putting out just over 400 WHP. I would say thats a lot of potential from a 1.4 which only made 140 crank stock.
Amazing seeing ZZP get some well deserved love! Sick build can’t wait to see more.
Hearing "ZZP" makes me miss my LSJ and my LNF so much. Such underappreciated cars.
ZZP swapped a either an LNF or LTG into a sonic a few years ago. That's the route David's build needs to go. The potential is far higher on the big block as compared to the small ecotec.
Only place I get my 3800 parts from
You mention zzp & suddenly i want to see every supercharged 3800 reviewed.
They just need to review the best version, which is a tie between the GXP Grand Prix and the Impala Ss
@@cavalierliberty6838 thow in the riviera too cause its a dope bar of soap
*buys a ton of performance pieces for the car*
Front bumper: am I a joke to you?
Zip ties!
@@JJH-jc1fg my car is in this comment and I feel attacked.
I don’t think he bought it lol
They already order ZZP Zip Ties
Hell yeah ZZP
Shout out to my Sonic boys out here. We finally gett ing some love from the big names.
Name. Name... And this was totally just a shits n giggles vidya, it's obvious.. I think anyway. Lmao. Who's car even is this?
I’m so glad to see someone (especially someone as prominent as you) building the same car as me lmao
ZZP is where its at💪only place I get parts for my ion redline
I think I smiled through this whole video! So excited about this. #gofastnotbroke
ZZP is awesome🤙🏿
So, what happened to this car?
I'm in love with this project. It's so cool and different
#ZZPERFORMANCE
Killing the game as always!!
I have a Chevy sonic rs and I love the thing, glad to see it getting some attention
My work car is the rs and its a decent car. The little turbo is kinda fun but i cant get too crazy cause it has cameras and all kinds of sensors
14 Cruze LT with the same engine, best car I've owned
Me too 2014 black 6 speed manual with zzp coil pack other parts parts plus DDM coil pack cover.
@@NickHarvey. sounds like 2 fast 2 furious lol
@@djinkentertainment lol exactly. It beeps if you stop too short or accelerate too fast. 5 beeps and the video goes to management.
This looks like a ton of fun! And the guys you got to work with are hilarious.
That sonic is gonna blow up in spectacular fashion.
Daihatsu makes good cars
😂😂😂😂😂😭🤷♂️
1.4 ecotec’s are fun little motors
1.6 actually
But its the same at the end
@@estebansanchez1513 No the american models have a 1.4T motor, not a 1.6
Can I add this part to my 2018 ls spark the engine sucks! It's 98 HP or do I have to replace the whole engine first? I heard the Cruze engine is terrible I think I'll try the sonic engine is it reliable?
Me anxiously waiting for ZZPs new big turbo kit to come out soon…😟
Yaaaay!!!! I'm so glad you did this. My wife has a sonic and i actually low key love driving it. I keep thinking what a sick ass rally car it would make. One day...
This video should have more views honestly was so fun! I hope you can make more content, thanks David !
I find Ian very relatable. Like where you're going with the build. Cant wait to see whats next.
I have a big turbo on an L61 ecotec. and soon building a LK9. so i loved this.
Also I really loved how you explained that skateboard analogy of how the bigger turbo will be better then the factory unit.
I bought a Chevy Sonic in 2012.. I bought the LTZ Turbo with the 6 speed manual. I loved that car.. With ZZP's help I was pushing 300HP. I absolutely loved that car.. Then some drunkard came through my neighborhood at 3am drunk as a sunk in his brand new camaro and hit the parked Sonic and launched 30 feet from where it was. Instant total. *CRY* I loved that car. My son loved that car. They will flat out scare the hell out of some d Bag in his Mustang 5.0 off the line. They are a riot!! Great car. Can't wait to see what you do with her!!!
I'm a huge Chevy Sonic fan and subscribed just because you're working on one, pls do this car proud!
I have a Buick Encore with the same motor so this was fun to watch. Gives me some ideas of making the dad mobile more fun 😂👍🏼
love seeing ZZP still being around after all these years =)
You are so cool I wish I could just hang out with you I’ve been following you forever
And I just wanted to say keep the good work up.
That means so much to me!
@@ThatDudeinBlue Your a great role model. Im sure you made this kids day
@@ThatDudeinBlue you mean so much to us.
thx for finally doing a chevy sonic build. omg he finally answered with this after 3 years of begging and forgetting about it.
ZZP!
You doing zzp cams too? Ported intake? Intercooler? E85? Plan on doing the steering wheel paddle shift mod?
The shitty ecotec can’t handle that😂😂
Looks awesome
Pretty cool!
ZZP!! love their stuff for my redline.
I have a 98 cavalier coupe, 5 speed manual with the 2.2, and it has 200,000 miles on it and still running like a champ.
Had gotten a full suspension kit and billet dog bones from ZZP for my 2003 Grand Prix, very good company and high quality products 👍🏼
I randomly found this while looking at some Veloster videos and freaked out when I realized this is the skateboard car! Super excited to see this thing turn into a teeny tiny canyon ripper.
I thought the automatic platform can only handle around 200-220 hp before it seriously starts hurting your transmission? I want to get the bigger turbo kit to finish the build but I’m afraid it’s going to blow through the gearing.
I love these videos!
That car needs a row of rally lights on the front bumper!
Awesomeness
People underestimate the cobalt ss but is a good platform
The turbo cobalt is amazing
Same with the ion redline especially since its a Saturn. Ultimate sleeper
Great Choice!
Zzp was the king of the 3800 series II on the GTP. Awesome company
I wanna skate that ramp. Looks like a good time
Cant wait to watch some rally footage or just off road shenanigans
hell yeah! ZZP!! love them. should try and find some 3800s to review! fun cars when they got some mods
My 05 GTP was a blast. The only downside to them was the tuning support was a bit underwhelming. Would love to see what one could do with the more modern TVS style blowers than the m90 or m112.
@@amagine1 few shops do tune them but they’re few and far between. there have a been few guys on facebook groups and forums that have done tvs blowers and even a whipple.
Dude you skate also no wayyyyy I love that
hol up- that sounds fire (for a 4 banger)
NIOCE!
Also, love the concept
hi David. nice vid. liked b4 watching b/c I knew it was going to be good
Hey this is a great video for us owners of the Sonic and Cruze with this engine. I have the Cruze and I’m going to go check to see if they have this set up for my car.
This car is cool and I don't care who doesn't think so. I miss my Cruze a lot. I wish I'd kept it. I'm about to get an HHR SS next and zzp will be the go to for my go fast bits. I have an 04 Impala SS right now that I'm about to do a few mild upgrades on, nothing crazy because it's our family car, and zzp has nothing but amazing parts for it as well (SC 3800). Awesome channel David
Sweet! I have a 15 dragon green manual RS💚
I would never buy a cheap Chevy and build it up but this all in one turbo setup is interesting.
Fun project car with a great history.
My kid loves watching your channel as you share my name. She calls you the other David and the only RUclips Chanel we watch togeather
Henry i love you buddy get that engine in the usdmjzx already. Cant wait for that vid. And dave hopefully ill meet you soon in up coming months. -will g
The fact that he was sending it and then was still able to pull a sharp 90° turn speaks volumes to how slow that cars is lmao
I have a few zzp parts on my sonic and I love them ! Springs and exhaust on my 17 Sonic rs
I’d love to see more domestic sport compact builds.
Since you talked to ZZP about the car. Talk to them about doing a 2.0 liter conversion. Much better performance potential and with your sonic being a prepped car anyway, should be far easier than it would be for some one with a street build.
Do it David. 260-300 wheel HP without major mods 👍.
That 1.4 MIGHT crack 230 before you need to do basically a pro level race build.
@@amagine1 what are you on about, dude? the ZZP sonic is at 400whp and the only *internal* component they changed was the valve springs. Pretty sure the most a bone stock sonic ever made totally unopened was like 280whp as well.
Hey that’s me!
The skateboard example cleared up all my lack of understanding turdbos.
I'm back. This is dope
Dude this would be a great autocross car!
As a Sonic hatch 1.4T owner, I love seeing this platform getting some love. ZZP and Bad News Racing have some great parts for this car and with the right combo can get you up to 300 whp in a car that weighs the same as a BRZ/86.
300? The best I've seen is 240-260 before needing a race build. While I like the 1.4 in my Cruze. If I were going to go past the 200 mark, my money is going toward an LTG swap.
@@amagine1 Our new turbo that will be released later this summer/early fall will be an easy 300whp capable bolt on turbo on E85.
@@amagine1 MPFab and a few others have dyno'd over 300 whp with a bigger turbo than they installed on this video, intercooler, E85 and many other supporting mods. These engines are never going to put up 500+ whp numbers (mostly due to the restrictive heads), but 300 whp from a 1.4 L engine that can weigh 2,500-2,800 lbs depending on the trim is still impressive and a fast little car.
@@Churnedsheep I know I’m late asf but zzp made 450 on one these things which is insane
I miss my '09 Cobalt SS. Many ZZP goodies were installed and never had an issue.
Ain't nothing like polishing a turd, yessss
My mom has this car and damns it’s soo slowwwww this is pretty cool 😂😂
Nice to see my car get some love. It's not a quarter mile threat, but it's a solid and enjoyable platform.
my sonic hatchback sitting in the driveway sweating nervously
Bought a 2020 Awd Trax, went through ZZP and now its a full stage 2 car with tune and logging. TOTALLY worth the money.
#groceriegetter
My mom just got a 2019 chevy sonic and from the outside looking in i was disgusted. But once i drove it a little bit and got to switching lanes and getting up to speed?? Fell in love with the car. The fact it’s affordable and everyone’s going for camaros, mustangs, and challengers… made those specific cars prices sky rocket to like unbelievable prices even for ecoboosts and v6’s… And this car is like so much quicker I didn’t even think people modded them lol! My next car will for sure be a 2020 and up RS trim.
This gives me hope for my sonic 😅
LoL, compressor volute size. David, I know your a smol dude and it looks like your thumb could not fit inside 🤣
I'm liking the content..
I have a 1.4T Vauxhall corsa has the exact same engine. Needed videos on the v3 for a long time 👀
Id love to see a review on this car its a real shame that that turbo isnt externally gated though
Rally this unit !
MOE POWR BABY!!!!!
Henry is so handsome lol. nice smile and great personality.
You should swap a L67 into that car, leave the supercharger on, put a xp cam in it, turbo and upgrade the trans etc... It'd be a ripper
Lol my dad is modifying my sisters cruze the same with literally everything zzp has for it since sonic and cruze are the same motor, looking to hopefully also get some different internals for the cruze. Its funny the looks we get when its driving down the street
When i replaced the turbo in my cruze, I completely disconnected the cat from the turbo first. Made it way easier to pull the turbo out
That Cat is the Killer.. Next you are gonna want to put a fast Cat on there..
I believe it should be in Gridlife next year.
Warranty time is less than 3 hours. “Took forever”, “yeah all day”. Lol
My mom's trax need this
Zzp 😤😤
@ThatDudeInBlue do you have a video of the Chevy Sonic with the big boost accelerating? I’d love to watch a video with the speedometer going! Thinking about purchasing one for my Chevy Sonic LTZ! You guys are the best.
Alright. Time for some 3800 reviews too. I vote for Terrell Smith's GTP called Hellboi.
Dont these use Vauxhall engines?
Yes, these are newer Opel/Vauxhaull engines. This platform was created by Opel in the late 90s.
Good content. Just small piece of clarification. The WGA is not electronic but a Pnuematic WGA. Now the vacuum line going to the WGA is electronically controlled by the ecu and not directly to vacuum. The zzp billet WGA is same Pnuematic WGA as stock but with heavier spring and made of billet aluminum.
Nice is300
God that is so much Easier to work on than My Juke.. Having all that in the front is so much better.. Go I wish my motor was turned the other way.. Anyway back to the Video.
Also look into bad news Racing (BNR) for sweet Chevy 1.4 engine Parts. Just tossing it out there. Haha I had a 1.4 cruze and ran their parts and tune
Jerry at bnr is the best with the 1.4 platform
I had their port and polished Throttle body, tune, made a pretty significant change. Nothing amazingly but it was a big improvement from stock. I was gonna get their GTX turbo upgrade, coil packs and waste gate but ended up selling the car for a Focus ST.
Ola eu sou o Juliano e eu sou do Brasil, gostei do seu conteúdo com o Chevrolet Sonic , é um carro que eu quero ter e que tem bastante potencial e poucas pessoas que eu vejo no RUclips faz esses projetos nesse carro igual a vc vc já ganhou um inscrito , quero ver mas projetos no carro
tbm sou BR brother, minha dúvida é se esse turbo funciona ou se é compatível no motor 1.6 Ecotec, será?
@@CAPIMBAI acredito que sim, mas teria que fazer o cabeçote forjado pelo menos para aguentar a pressão do turbo e não dar muito problema
thank you so much for making my wish come true on your ch.by you
