2011--2015 Chevrolet Cruze / 2016 Cruze Limited - 1.4L Turbo Elite

(19 reviews)
$598 $749
TRIFECTA presents: Chevrolet Cruze 1.4T MY2011--2016 Cruze Limited Calibration (December 2015 Update) Specific power increases of up to +51 ft-lbs and +44 WHP peak to a completely stock Chevrolet Cruze 1.4T.
The TRIFECTA powertrain recalibration for the Chevrolet Cruze 1.4T blends class leading all-around performance with improved fuel efficiency.
For those vehicles with automatic transmissions: All TRIFECTA Powertrain Recalibrations include updated automatic transmission calibrations which provide smoother shifting, improved shift times, and improved shifting logic vs previous calibration revisions; updated featuresets include rolling anti-lag and 300 percent faster shifts than stock.
For those vehicles with manual transmissions: All TRIFECTA Powertrain Recalibrations offer "no lift shift", allowing the driver to shift the transmission at lightning quick speeds without losing turbocharger boost. The shift is executed as normally, with the clutch, but the accelerator is held to the floor to retain full boost.
With the current generation of TRIFECTA's flash loader solutions and the TRIFECTA Transparency featureset, when flashing your vehicle, the TRIFECTA flash loader does not increment the ECM write counter or increment entries in the flash history.
With the December 2015 update, TRIFECTA Driver Selectable Vehicle Modes, version 2 (DSVM II) is included. Select between SPORT and STOCK mode, on the fly with the cruise control arming switch. Cruise control system functionality is completely retained and unaffected by DSVM II.
In SPORT mode, the vehicle responds much more quickly to accelerator input. Automatic transmission shift patterns are optimized for maximum performance and responsiveness. During "everyday" driving manuevers, the vehicle feels very much like it did from the factory, but rolling into the pedal quickly reveals a vehicle that wants to GO. Attentive, but without being "twitchy", power delivery is linear and transmission shifts are purposeful. The vehicle produces maximum TRIFECTA power!
In STOCK mode, the vehicle behaves just like it did from the factory, under all driving conditions!
The Chevrolet Cruze 1.4T TRIFECTA powertrain recalibration delivers more than 130 horsepower per liter and more than 140 ft-lbs per liter – powering a fuel efficient vehicle whose drivers are more inclined to use it while ensuring critical powertrain reliability. Enhancements made to the Chevrolet Cruze 1.4T Ecotec engine software to withstand the added stresses include:
Extended testing of more than 100,000 miles with 100 hrs + of wide open throttle testing
Powertrain calibration has been tested and validated for various environments, such as cold/heat, elevation, and variations in fuel quality
Octane Adaptive construct enables multi-phased timing tables: Five distinct timing tables replace the OE GM implementation of high/low octane tables
Multi-dimensional Airflow Coefficient tables, adds air pressure bias and knock history overlay for enhanced accuracy in boost scenarios
Virtualized torque prediction coefficients recalculation model added
Airflow based commanded fuel ratio strategies added
Multi-stage knock sensor decay and recovery rate tables added
TRIFECTA ECP.MK2 (Hybrid Speed Density) support and constructs added
The TRIFECTA Elite Powertrain Recalibration with Individualization (Custom Profiling) for the MY2011-MY2015 Chevrolet Cruze 1.4T includes calibration individualization, remote diagnostics, and comprehensive aftermarket hardware software integration support.
Additional information:
-This powertrain calibration includes a TRIFECTA powertrain calibration file specific to your vehicle and includes a flash loader device
-Premium fuel is recommended for maximum power output, but not required
-Advertised gains are quoted as 'up to' and may be less for a vehicle operated at altitudes higher than near sea level.
-Powertrain calibrations currently exist for the US, CA, EU, RUS/CIS, MEC, and Asia areas, with more regions to follow.

I am new to the Chevy Turbo’d game, def not new to high performance machines. Vehicle was displaying issues when tune was purchased, once we were able to do logs the guys at trifecta we're able to pinpoint the issue and where I needed to look to replace a few things. Once that was done added a few more goodies and bam the power! The Mpg, the hard pulls and full power through the rpm's. This vehicle is a daily and it is a sleeper and it absolutely moves. Very pleased with the outcome!

Love my tune, I ordered the trifecta Elite package as I knew I was going to be doing future mods. Have had zero issues with the tune and car is much faster than stock. Although I have plenty of supporting mods. 

Also plan to continue modding and staying with the trifecta family, they respond very quickly, customer service is far better than other tuners i know of. Gas mileage is also far better than stock and I have to say the transmission shifting is far superior than gm's factory tune. 

I've had my tune for awhile. Did not want to review it yet until I could give an honest review.

When I bought this I let them know what I had done to the car, and man did they  not disappoint with the work they did. They're fast response and changing in tunes is very fast and I'm happy with that,  they are very helpful and communicate great. The car did a complete 360 once I tuned it I'm overall happy with it. Cant wait to see if they come out with Lc. That'll be pretty nice.

 

Happy and Reccomend tuning your car

Not much to say other than it works, and it's easy, fuel economy improved significantly in eco mode, shifting is so much smoother it's unbelievable. seriously changed the way this car feels, and the sport mode absolutely feels sportier, 0-60 times improved by two seconds. (tracked through the torque app) and their support has been excellent, and willing to answer any stupid questions i may ask.

After a few bolt on modifications to the motor which were pretty inexpensive. i purchased the trifecta elite tune. And bam whole new car it seems like. amazing smooth power and very good support from the guys here at trifecta. highly suggest them for your tuning needs if they have one for your vehicle.

Little confusing purchase wise at the start but communicative staff helped that out. Could have been a categorization between the types of tunes for the Cruze products. End result was pretty good though!

Had the Elite tune for about 2 weeks now and wow I couldn't be more happier or impressed.  I do not know how I drove this car for a year without this tune because its a world of a difference.  Swapping cruise control on and off is a day and night difference and I love every minute of it.  Trifecta's customer service is outstanding and will re-write your tune if you get any further mods FREE OF CHARGE.  I don't know of any company that puts out this good of a product for the cost, or a company as helpful.  I will recommend anyone with a Cruze to get this tune.  Thanks so much Trifecta!

I thought my 2011 Cruze (A) was on its death bed or something, but after a smooth recalibration, my car got a second wind. Great job!

My only quarrel, just with myself, is that I did not do this sooner. My ankle feels sooooo much better since I don't have to spend the extra energy pumping the gas to make sure the car doesn't jolt during shifting.

I've had their software for 3 years. Their tech support is awesome. 65k miles and going.

Was tuned by another major cruze company. Had constant overboost issues with other companys tune. Switched to trifecta and turns out my old tuner couldnt tune for the forge wga. My old tune put down 157hp and 191tq. My trifecta tune elite tune put down 171hp and 211tq. Would highly recommend to any cruze owner. Car is so Pleasant to drive now not having to worry about a bad tune. Tune feels so much refined from my old tune. Mods are ported intake, forge wga, catless 2.5 exhaust and trifecta tune. There no lift shift option is also fun for pulls. 5/5 stars. Any GM car i buy now will be trifecta tuned.

I have had more fun with my Cruze in the last couple of weeks since switching to Trifecta than I have had in years. Even after being tuned before, this is above and beyond. The tune is great, runs perfect and pulls super hard. Their No Lift To Shift works perfectly and adds a unique feature you can't get with another tune. 

The customer service is incredible, response times to any request is faster than I could ever ask for. The website and support section is easy to use and having all the downloads available through the website makes it easy to have access from anywhere.

Just an overall great tune for the Cruze. I originally got it just to help with getting a little more driveability out of the Cruze when the A/C is on. It has definitely made a difference. My best description of the tune is that it makes the Cruze easier to drive. The throttle seems to make more sense and added acceleration is right where I expected it to be. 2013 Cruze Eco, manual. Thanks Trifecta!

Have had the tune in my 2016 Cruze for about two weeks now and it is truly amazing! The STOCK setting definitely feels like the car is more certain what gear it wants to be in now instead of the factory setting where it constantly felt like it was searching for the right gear. Not sure if it's just me but even the STOCK tune feels like it's given the car a little boost in power. The biggest difference is when you turn on the SPORT setting. When you step on the throttle, you don't have to pin it to the floor and the car takes off! It will put you back in your seat when you hammer it! My Cruze is noticeably faster and more fun to drive now.

 

I also purchased the K&N Intake offered through Trifecta with the tune. With the intake you can hear the turbo spool up. Car isn't a drag racer but it's a nice sound to hear every now and then when I'm driving. I also have a cat-back exhaust as well as a down and midpipe on the car. Trifecta's tune is without a doubt the crown jewel of all of the modifications I have made so far. I truly could not be happier, not just with the tune but with the outstanding customer service as well. You gentlemen at Trifecta have been great to work with- answering questions when I needed and with your awesome tune. Me and my Cruze thank you!

The change was day and night, customer service was good too, they answered my questions usually within 3 hours, boosted my MPG in Eco mode, and in sport mode the car wants to just go, and boy does it go fast, now I just have to data log it and see if there is anything to make it even better!!!

For what this little turbo is and can do, I'm impressed. Only had the tune installed for about a day now and I'm extremely happy. Can wait to hit the Dyno. Good job trifecta.
