What F'ing car is that.... almost looks like the Lotus I saw a few weeks ago at a car gathering....
Thats sounds good!goofyguy said:yes it will bolt up to the tranny and the motor counts should be swapable to the new motor. Its uses a stock ecotec 2.2 block so it should be no problem. You will need the ecu as well.
I think i know who you mean, actually! In the end he managed to convice a german tuner to attach the SC from the 2.0 to the 2.2 -but you also have to make some engine mods to get this to work safely. It ended up costing £4700 a pop (about $8000) which is pretty expensiveSp00ner said:We had another gentelman from Germany looking for a complete 2.0 SC engine for, I believe, the same type of car. We're not sure if it's a direct drop in replacement. I am pretty sure that the dimensions are the same on the block, I'm sure it can be made to fit. I cannot tell you that it is, for certain, a drop in fit. Sorry, guess that dosen't help too much...
Yup, there is a vx220 with a turbo (different model, i don't have it), but it runs a different engine again - cast iron lump ZLET and a different sub-frame / different rear body shell. The vxr220 engine is the same engine as the vx220 turbo - just more tunedkazkillinger said:i thought the vx220 had a 2.0 turbo?? and yes it is the ecotec. the engine size ranges from 2.0 to 2.4 depending on bore and stroke. p.s.why not opt for a vx220r engine ?
Interesting! The ecotec2.2? Without engine mods/strengthening thats not going to last too long...Aeain said:Well, Saturn Motorsports took their 2.0SC Engine out of the Red Line and put a 2.2L Turbo Motor in it.
It was a beefed up 2.2 making 400hp. I believe they swapped the Engine and the ECU and that's it.vxer said:Interesting! The ecotec2.2? Without engine mods/strengthening thats not going to last too long...![]()
Did they run into any probs or was it straight forward to swap, do you know?
Cheers, Paul.
I read GM racing's report on the ecotec 2.2 dragster report <here> with interest. They de-stroked it to 2.0 and did quite a lot of mods to avoid blowing it up.Aeain said:It was a beefed up 2.2 making 400hp. I believe they swapped the Engine and the ECU and that's it.
