Twin Turbo C8 Corvette Driven & Explained (Cicio Performance)

Check out this video by Cicio Performance where they go into a detail and explain how they created their Twin Turbo C8 Corvette with a piggy back Motec ECU and Extreme Turbo Systems Turbo kit set up and Dodson clutches.

We recently wrote about their 900 Horsepower Cicio Performance C8 Corvette when that racing channel did a video review as well.

Per Cicio Performance YouTube description

Hey Guys! Were happy to announce that the Twin Turbo C8 package is now available from Cicio Performance!

This is one of the first purchasable twin turbo kits for the Corvette C8 that doesn’t compromise any of your OEM drivability/creature comforts.

We partnered with ETS to make this proprietary twin turbo kit the best it could possibly be. The car runs on a MoTec piggyback paired with the Dodson clutch upgrade and makes just over 850whp and 750tq.

We hope you enjoyed watching, subscribe for more of this weekly!

YouTuber’s C8 Corvette Has a Blown Transmission

Check out these videos on YouTube where some C8 Corvette owners document was having transmission issues with his C8 Corvette.

This is the second time we have seen a C8 Corvette have a bad or blown transmission. The first time was from a C8 Corvette owner that just got his car and barely had 100 miles on it and it wouldn’t shift.

This C8 Corvette has over 22,000 miles on it already and now has a blown transmission and a transmission with an electrical issue since it works once he resets the ECU.

The only other major issue was when we shared a story on another YouTuber that blew his C8 Corvette engine and GM replaced it in about 3 weeks.

All that being said the C8 Corvette dual clutch transmission is amazing and the shifts are like butter and switch so easily and quickly. With the dual clutch transmission the next gear is cued up so when you shift it already has that next gear ready to go. He has had C8 Corvette transmission problems before.

Here are the videos of the C8 Corvette with Transmission Problems

My C8 is Back 2.5 Months and $26,500 later…

2022 C8 Corvette Transmission Problem SOLVED

In these latest videos below from JakesVette on YouTube he recently had a problem with some weird noises and check engine lights coming on with his 2022 C8 Corvette.

So he called his local Chevy Dealer and after a few weeks GM tech figured out this was the TCM or Transmission Control Module which he found out is run by a 32 bit processor which were commonly found in a Super Nintendo and PlayStation 1 when it first came out.

Check out these latest videos of C8 Transmission information and C8 transmission problems to learn more what it could be if this happens to your C8 Transmission.

Luckily car is under warranty and General Motors is aware of the issue and so far we have seen over the last two years General Motors and Chevy dealers take care of any C8 Corvette issue with no hesitations and problems including new engines, new Tremac DCT transmission, replacing axels and more.

C8 Transmission (TCM) Transmission Control Module Issued SOLVED

Another YouTuber DadBodSZN610 just received his new 2022 C8 Corvette after waiting 2 years and has transmission problems. He actually got rid of his Corvette C8 after having C8 Corvette transmission issues by reselling the C8 Corvette back to Whitmoyer Chevrolet

C8 CORVETTE TRANSMISSION FAILED 2 WEEKS AFTER DELIVERY!!!

In this video DadBodSZN610 on YouTube has to find a new truck since his 2022 C8 Corvette that he waited over two years for needs a new transmission.

It’s kind of crazy when you think about it that we have documented at least 4 YouTubers that had C8 Corvettes with transmission issues and problems from the TCU to needing to replace the entire transmission.

Even Rear Wheel Drive on YouTube had to replace his C8 Corvette transmission back in November 2020 when we posted about it here.

More C8 Corvette Transmission Issues

In this video below from Brink of Speed his 2020 C8 Corvette after about 18,000 miles is having a hard time going from 1st to 2nd and having a pretty big jerk like it’s dumping the clutch or missing a clutch shift. His C8 Corvette Transmission issues are being looked at by Classic Chevrolert i

If your C8 is doing THIS it NEEDS a NEW Transmission! Ladies and gentlemen. Today isn’t a good day. My C8 Corvette is going to need a new transmission, and if your C8 is doing the same things as what you will see in this video, yours does too.

Gabe Florido of Car Lifestyle C8 Corvette GTA Miami Vibe by SchwaaFilms

Check out this video made of Gabe Florido’s C8 Corvette which is one of the most popular C8 Corvettes on Instagram. He is the founder of the Car Lifestyle page on Instagram and he hooked up with SchwaaFilms to have this GTA style type video made of his C8 Corvette in Miami.

Per Schwaa Films Video description of the C8 Corvette

So while down in Miami for the R2R rally. I was able to meet up with my friend Gabe who owns CarLifestyle. If you guys remember, years ago I filmed his Camaro.

I’ve been wanting to shoot his C8 for a while, and since I was down in Miami I knew this was the perfect time. Unfortunately since I had spent 4-5 days on the rally shooting non stop, I didn’t have much energy left to go all out on this video.

But best believe there is going to be a part 2, night run video! This car looks sooooo good rolling on the road. Hope you guys enjoy the Miami vibes in this one!

Soul Performance Launches New C8 Corvette Valved Exhaust

Soul Performance was one of the first companies to make an aftermarket exhaust for the C8 Corvette thanks to StreetSpeed717 wanting the loudest exhaust possible.

Since then they have made high end quality sport cats and a straight piped cat back exhaust that was the same exhaust StreetSpeed717 put on his C8 Corvette.

Now Soul Performance just launched their Valved Exhaust for people that want to be able to switch to the the loudest C8 Corvette exhaust on the market and back to daily driving mode and a lot quieter tone. It’s starting at $4,195 and goes up to $4,395. Make sure you tell them C8CorvetteBlog.com sent you.

Check out their video and information on their C8 Corvette exhaust.

Our Valved Exhaust System and Sport Catalytic Converters offer increases in power and sound with no compromises or check engine lights.

Enjoy a respectable gain in V8 rumble, throttle response, and power for your C8 Corvette.

Available now: https://soulpp.com/product-category/c…

DEVELOPMENT GOALS -Improve upon the factory design to increase and refine the V8 tone.

-Increase the presence and character of the exhaust note in the cabin while maintaining a reasonable level of resonance / drone while driving in both the valves closed and open modes through our signature drone fighting capabilities.

-Heighten aggressiveness with valves open while maintaining an overall sound level potential / quality that can still be reasonably driven on the street in combination with other complimentary aftermarket exhaust components – such as Sport Catalytic Converters or headers.

-Offer the ability to notably reduce the sound level of the car outside to fly under the radar when necessary.

-Achieve an effective delta in sound between both modes for two usable, well engineered experiences – mild and wild. RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT

With valves closed, the exhaust is routed through a bespoke SOUL chambered muffler we designed with an internal X-Pipe to meet our sound goals. This unique muffler was crafted to match our high standard of drone fighting mufflers that we are known for in the Porsche world. We tested a more traditional perforated core muffler design as well but the carefully engineered chambers of the final muffler result in a more aggressive sound on and off throttle with reduced undesirable tones.

With valves open, exhaust flow is free to exit through 3″ piping for a thunderous roar. Secondary flow through the muffler and x-pipe reduces rasp and smooths the exhaust note for a higher pitched, more refined sound. The end result is two distinct and enjoyable sound modes – mild and wild.

AFM valve deletes are included for the factory exhaust valves (designed to limit flow in four-cylinder mode) in order to delete them without triggering a check engine light. Due to the close proximity of the exhaust to sensitive components and plastic, heat shields are a MUST. 

We’ve partnered with PTP Turbo Blankets to produce a bespoke, form-fitting heat shielding solution. Far superior to no-name brand copies, PTP Lava Turbo Blankets are constructed with an outer layer made from pulverized volcanic lava rock (Rated 1800°F Direct Heat / 2500°F Radiant Heat) formed into fabric and woven into a tight mesh weave. These blankets are internally insulated with high temperature calcium magnesium silicate wool (Rated 1832°F Continuous / 2300°F Peak) overlaid with a high temperature stainless steel mesh for increased durability and improved thermal resistance. The Lava Blankets are designed to withstand the harshest of conditions.

CONSTRUCTION:  Each component is made in-house by our fabrication team from mandrel bent .060″ wall T304L stainless steel tubing, laser cut brackets, and waterjet cut flanges. Welds are back purged for proper penetration and maximum durability. Our 4″ double wall stainless steel tips are available in a number of finishes and have depth adjustment for perfect fitment to meet your desired aesthetic.

FINISHES:  SOUL tips are available in several styles and finishes. Natural finishes options include polishing, hand-brushing, and a matte Signature Satin. Black tips are ceramic coated with Jet-Hot for maximum bonding strength and increased finish durability. Looking for something unique?

Contact us for custom logos and colors. HJS HD 200 CELL CATALYSTS: The highest quality catalytic converters available, known for their industry leading flow and durability. With their premium wash coat full of precious metals, they are efficient enough at catalyzing to meet strict EURO 4 emission standards while still allowing for an increase in flow – all without a check engine light.

The HD design uses a stout triple foil winding for maximum strength. The brazing stripe is an extra feature in the interest of durability – it prevents the core from moving or experiencing any damage from sustained high horsepower abuse. We use a large and appropriately sized catalyst to allow for maximum gains – the same cats tested and proven on our McLaren and Porsche Turbo applications for big horsepower support.

BOLT ON AND GO:  Each exhaust component is built and tested in a thick gauge aluminum fixture (which prevents warping) to ensure perfect fitment. Every piece is rigorously quality-checked prior to shipping and then foam packed to ensure they arrive in perfect condition. LIFETIME

WARRANTY:  Enjoy your SOUL exhaust components with confidence on both the street and track as they are covered by our Lifetime Warranty!
