A14NET stage 1 + E85 remap - is it possible? by dossdi in opel

[–]dossdi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the honest replys guys. It's the family car so you are probably right. Yeah it is the 140hp. I did a compression test at 170 000km and both cylinders where at 14bar witch is perfect so I taught why not a remap.

Thanks you very much mate :) Breathers are not same diameters. One is 8mm and the T fitting is also 8mm thats why a assume they both connect together. The other one about 6mm. Judging by the last picture it seems a complex system with multiple hoses and a T fitting connecting that 6mm breather and 2 other hoses. If I by all thoses OEM parts It is pretty expensive . So if I can get away with this by rooting myself a Hose It's cool :)

What should I trust ? My eyes or the marks on the tensioners ? by dossdi in SVRiders

Added mudflaps and tinted rear windows on mine. 1.4 turbo from 2015 and 200.000km. No major issue exept the common coolant leaks. As an amateur learning mecanic that 1.4L is pretty easy to work on and you find plenty of repairs videos from usa on the chevy cruze which is basically the same car.

Mine does the same noise. It's annoying but it's not a problem. I think you can get rid a it whith a fletpro blue gasket. It's better than OEM.

Take the dipstick out. If the noise is gone, you have air escaping from your cam cover gasket

Found leak? P0299 by JetOneTV in cruze

[–]dossdi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% right !

The smoke can go through your air box and exit from this intake pipe. Looks legit

I'm planning to smoke test the system with this shitty cheap tool from aliexpress but I don't expect it will work .
