    Default E78 1.4 cruse vats patch?

    Hi all. Does anyone know if there is a vats patch for a 2011 E78 turbo Cruse os 12644082. I have a company who is putting these engines in a trike and is trying to stand alone the engine and transmission. Any help would be great. The company is willing to do what ever it takes to make this happen, they need to g test the protype. Thanks again

    I dont have a Cruze file, thought I did but cant find it anywhere.

    I did open the E78 Silverado file and there is a Disable VATS Patch available (need to have a V2 plugged in before opening the tune to see it). The Cruze OSs and Silverado OSs are very similar so I imagine they both have the VATS patch. Can someone else verify there is a VATS patch for the 1.4L tunes?

    I answered my own question. I had the V2 plugged in when I started V7.5 but the V8 HAPI was still connected so the vats patch did not show

    In a trike?! Thats going to be an intense ride, post some pics when you get it running!

    I think one of the 1.4L Turbo engines would be awesome in a smallish boat.

    We have a 1.4 installed in SCCA Autocross car. Starts and runs but won't rev passed 5900 RPM.
    Originally auto, now loaded with manual.

    Hi Del,

    Can you please check for fault codes? It will no doubt be complaining about something missing because of the conversion. However, the DTC's can often help track down where the problem is, even if there isn't a solution yet, it gives us something to work on.

    I need to say this up front, I'm not using EFILIVE. The PCM has a brand T manual load.
    The engine is a 2011 Cruze 1.4 (automatic). It is attached to a TCI clutchless powerglide, the rear end is a 7" Winters Quick Change. It starts and runs great, but only to 5900 RPM, then "shuts off" till rpm is below that and then picks up again (till 5900).
    DTCs, currently U0109 and U0140. There is no BCM or FPCM. There is no VSS, and no PNP switch. We tried installing a GPS/VSS signal, runnning through a Dakota Digital converter box to get the pulse to 5V. (no change)
    Next step will be to silulate PNP switch in to pin 34 on X01 PCM connnector.
    we have in the past seen p0238 boost sensor, p0480 fan relay (we don't have one), and p2227 baro sensor.
    I'm out of place, but national meet is coming up at end of May and we're desperate.

    Sounds like the ECM thinks its in P/N all the time, what did you use to kill all the codes/apply the VATs? (not sure what you mean by a brand T manual load)
