Let's play a game, /o/.Describe the Engine in your Car in such a way that someone could guess what Engine it is. Ask questions about the Engine or the Powertrain, but you can't directly ask what Car it's in. Goal is correctly guessing a specific Engine Code. We'll call it "Motor Charades".I'll start.Features:It's an All-Aluminum Foam Cast Long Block, Bore x Stroke Ratio is Undersquare, it has 10.0:1 Compression, Multiport Fuel Injection, DOHC, 16 Valves, VVT Cams, a Muffled Intake, a Choked Exhaust, Redline around 6300.Despite that, it makes just enough power to get out of it's own way, probably due to various improvements it inherited from it's bigger, younger brother.155 hp @6100, 150 lb-ft @4900. Don't let the 2nd Torque number fool you though, it's beefy down low. VVT has its benefits.2 Timing Chains to be found here. One for the Cams, another for the Water Pump and 2 balance shafts.Problems:The Timing Chain Tensioner (for the Cams) likes to die (especially the older style), at best jumping a bit out of time to limp to a shop, at worst bending all your Valves, damaging your Pistons, completely and utterly trashing your entire valvetrain and your whole timing system. A totalled Long Block, essentially.PCV can be problematic. It's one of those fixed orfice style Breathers that likes to suck in Oil and start drinking if it gets clogged up enough.Honestly? As long as you keep an eye on that Tensioner you're fucking golden. It's not even that hard to change them anyway. You'll know if a Tensioner is gonna die soon if you hear some rattle on startup that either takes a while to stop or doesn't go away. If the Water Pump ever decides to die, it's normally a pain in the ass to do but luckily for me, they aren't known for going bad very often AND, my newer revision has a neat little access plate.Trivia:Of all companies, Lotus had a hand in the design of the Engine Family this guy is from.Ok, what Engine am I talking about /o/?
Ok I'll go:NIGGERSwhich engine am I talking about?

Dead simple and dead reliable, just feed it new timing belts from time to time.Calculated that fuel cut kicks in at 6k, the car it's in doesn't have a tach.Makes a whole 25% more horsepower than its 8V counterpart, and was also briefly built as a turbo variant with a modified head, lower compression pistons, an adorable little oil cooler, and a metal valve cover and intake manifold instead of the plastic items of the NA version I have.

>>27985977Yessir you got it.Though there were no "regular" 2.0s, every ecotec 2.0 was either supercharged or turbocharged.My eco 2.2 is a later variant (LAP) with VVT, see. It picks up a couple hp over the older 2.2 (L61).

>>27995209are you more familiar than i am with the 2.4L Chrysler "World Engine" (GEMA)
>>27995215ohhhh you're talking about THAT pile of trash lolI thought you were talking about the old mid 90s to early 2000s Chrysler 4 cylinder line.Sorry to disappoint you, but it's not that either.
>>27995218that fits the description to a T. its not the GM 2.4L Ecotec LE5 is it?
>>27995219Oooh you're very very close, I'll just give you the W.Yeah it's the Ecotec. Not the 2.4 LE5 though, the later 2.2, codename LAP.
>>27995222nice. how about thisThis 3.5L V6 is known for a great mix of performance and efficiency. It uses dual-injection, DOHC with 24 valves, and variable valve timing on both the intake and exhaust cams. With a high compression ratio, it gives you strong torque and decent top-end power, making around 290 hp and 270 lb-ft of torque. It’s generally reliable, but you might run into carbon buildup or a water pump failure down the line. You’ll usually find it in sedans and SUVs.
>>27995223A dual injection engine with carbon buildup issues? That's odd.Water Pump issues? I wanna say the later Ford Cyclone 3.5, AKA the Duratec 35. But I couldn't find any variants that match 290 hp and 270 lb-ft exactly.

heres one only autistic people or trailer trash will guess>4 cylinder>came out in the early 80s, sold into the early 2000s with minor revisions and increases in bore along the way>pushrod>only sold in north america>came in cars and trucks
>>27997142I WAS gonna say the GM 122, but it's bore was stuck at 89mm, rather it's stroke was increased for more displacement.
>>27997142I wanted to say Iron Duke but that debuted in the late 1970s.

>>279974414B11t?
>>27997160whoops my bad I mis-remembered about how they increased displacment. you got it. makes me wonder if i could get a 2.0 crank and destroke my 2.2 for high rpm when i rebuild it again, though thats kinda retarded
>>27997441Ayyy LNF
>>27997461I was in the same boat as you once, wondering what I could to the 2200 in my Sunfire to make it less of a dog.The answer was getting an Ecotec. I haven't looked back desu.There just isn't any decent aftermarket for 122s, anything worthwhile doing is pretty much always a custom fab of some sort.If you're willing to put up with that, see if you can't grab some forged guts and fab some stuff up for a Turbo (and maybe some stiff valve springs). It's the only route outside of Nitrous to actually make power.
right number of cylinders, wrong direction
>>27997472i have an ecotec in my ion and while i like it, the 2.2 ohv has a lot of charm and is really easy to work on. I'm keeping it stockish for the time being other than a ported head and ls7 lifter internals in the stock lifter housings, and a full exhaust. I wanna get a cam but they cost way too much for the only ones left for sale ($625 lol). I've been tempted to get a turbo and run it at low boost just to help with the altitude sickness it gets in the mountains but im not worried about that right now. I could also get 2200 pistons and blow the motor up with compression. I'd have to swap to the f23 first, which I dont wanna do because the mk7 shifts amazingly and im not a fan of the f23 in my saturn. I'm not aiming for power with it, just want it to have a bit more pep.Were you on j-body.org back when?>>27997483ls4
>>27997490Nah I'm a young'un, I only lurked j-body.org, was always too much of a cowardly fag to put myself on there. By the time I would've just about mustered the courage to sign up, I'd already sold my Sunfire.
>>27997525im a newfag there too, i got my funfire in 2021 and just lurk. im guessing youre op with a cobalt now?
>>27997548You got me. Brakes on the Sunfire gave out one day, pissing Brake Fluid all over. Just lost patience with it and moved on.Imagine my shock when I start smelling GAS shortly after getting my Cobalt. Yup, Fuel Lines were Metal Cancer'd up.My taste in cars doesn't fall far from the tree, and neither does GM's bullshit.Lucky for me, someone made an aftermarket stainless steel braided flexible Fuel Line that was pretty much plug-n-play for like $150. Could've I made my own lines cheaper? Yeah, but it would've been a pain in the ass and I didn't feel like getting rinsed at a shop either.
>>27997558do you have anything done to that cobalt or is it just stock? I havnt messed with the ecotec in my saturn other than doing the chain tensioner the day after I got it. Also if youre on the east coast, ecotecs on the dragon is next month I believe. will probably be a bunch of ricers and older folks but it could be cool. I'm gonna try and make it up there
>>27997613It's basically stock, 2.2 eco guts are weak as hell and I'd be more comfortable just getting a SS with a LNF and building that up.I'm east coast but north of the border. Frankly too busy with personal shit to come down south.Nice Sunfire.
