2.2, 2.4 TC and 2.2 ECOTEC

Just wondering what you guys are running in the 1/4, and what cars you've raced. Try to be HONEST. I especially wanna hear from you 2.2L 115hp guys ! :iceslolan

these times r from ppl's cavi's that i know of:

stock cavi's run about high 17's low 18's. if u do basic bolt on engine work (i.e. air intake, header, exhaust, throttle body...), u'll then be running mid 17's. if u want the serious boost, go w/ turbo, nos, supercharger, or porting the engine--but i don't have times for cars that have been modded like that. in the end, u'll have to put in alot of $$$ to make a cavi go fast.....but it's also that way w/ all cars....

ive raced with guys that have z24s that are throwin down in the mid-15's. Lots of mods though. Im running 16.12 in my 2.2L but I've got lots of minor performance upgrades in it. Nothing really expensive like cams, nitrous or turbo/supercharging. I saw a clip of a z24 running in the 14s supercharged, and lots of enginework. For the most part stock 2.2L run in the high 17s low 18s, 2.4s in the high 16s low 17s <a lot depends too, if you have auto or 5spd.>

alot of this depends on if its a 5speed, the driver, and location. I live in Kansas have a 5speed and am an OK driver and run anywhere from high 15's to low 16's. With a cold air intake. But i would say it really depends on the driver. A 250hp cavy can be beat by a 180-200hp cavy with the right drivers. But anywayz back to your question heres a link for 1/4 times. i dont think these are actually ran times, they are just what the computers figure up. 1/4 times (http://www.geocities.com/edmodscarspecs/)

i've never clocked my 1/4 mile but i do have a 2.2L. ecotec in my grand am. i've raced a z28 a newer one i dont know but it was an auto he was never a 1/4 of a car length in front of me. and i also raced a v6 couger like a 99 to 2001 and beat it. i'm completely stock. my 2.2 is putting out 145 hp and 150hp but i have one serious disadvantage. with me in it i guess i weight bout 3250lbs. and i only weigh 210lbs.

oh as for the grand am gt. 3.2L v6. i was next to it on the beltway and he could not leave me behind. i'd stick with the 2.2L ecotec. less money, less gas consumption. and theres far more room in the engine bay for upgrading.

I got a 2001 Z24. Never taken her to the track so dont know what she runs. Can say that i havent lost to a honda yet. Of course i havent raced one with anything more then intake and exhaust setup. Got a buddy of mines 97 mustang with the 6 beat. Ive done alot of street racing. Being in the military with a "cavalier" i tend to have to prove myself often. I plan on going to the track in about 2 weeks after i get my exhaust and intake put in. Ill let ya know after that.

a LS1 automatic Camaro will run a mid 13 stock...he wasn't racing you trust me mikegee...

I ran a 15.92@85mph in my AUTOMATIC 2002 Cavalier LS Sport with less than 100 bucks in mods...I have since added RK Sport polished warm air intake with cold air extention, upper and lower motor mounts, and some weight reduction. I should be around a 15.7 now...

An LS1 Should run 12's

the 6 speeds can hit a high 12 on occasion, not the auto's though...

isnt the ls1 rockin a corvette engine the car that i was running next was not a camaro it was a grand am auto with a 6 cylinder and and if the camaro you were talking about has a v6 it aint the same as the grand am v6 its not running better then low 15s

oh my bad i was refering to a v6 camaro i dont like american muscle so i dont follow was car has what it didnt have dual exhaust.

a 2200 jbody should run in the high 16s to high 17s depending on the driver, the 2.4L or LD9 in a jbody will run low15s to high 16s depending on the driver, and the ecotec will do pretty much the same as the LD9, but it does weight something like 200lbs less then a LD9 since the ecotec is made up mostly of aluminium.

i ran my 99 z24 cavy at atco raceway in jersey, my best time was 15.8. all i have done to the engine is a cold air intake.

ive got a stock 2200 and ive beaten civics, v6 mustangs, integras, focus. You wouldnt think it, but the 2200 is quick for a 4 banger

if you are refering to the ecotec you aint lieing. the 2.2L ecotec is also found in the opel speedster and in that car itll run low 13's in the 1/4, claiming 150 horses some where in that range. i love this engine.

no. ive got the 2200 not the ecotec. they are both just about the same. I think the ecotec has about 10 more ft/lbs of torque

the two engines are nowhere near similar...the 2.2 ohv has 115hp 135tq compared to the ecotec of 140hp 150tq. Stock to stock the Ecotec would whoop the ohv pretty damn good.

hmm i know nothing about the 2200. is this the same engine that is found in a lot of s10s and in the 2002 sunfire?

same exact engine. The ecotec and the 2200 are a good match. I can keep up with the ecotec just fine in my stock 2200

what is this engine. if it is the same engine found in a 2002 sunfire cuz that is a 2200 cc engine. if it is the same engine then you can't keep up with an 2.2L ecotec. a friend of mine just gotten rid of his and his wife's sunfire and that car was slower even though it was lighter then my grand am.

yeah i wanna see a bone stock 2.2 ohv run mid to high 15's...

If your ever in denver lets race

well if u are claiming your stock 2.2 cavy runs 15.9 or below i'm sure a ton of people from j-body.org would love to hear about it...

Ive never been to the track but I can keep up with the ecotec just fine. A big part of racing is the driver. The ecotec is fast but not that fast

my cavi is running about 15 seconds thats wil basic bolt on stuff. i have a cavi 2.2l rs

do you have timeslips for such a claim?

what are your mods?

the 2.4 litre has some decent power i beat a 2002 auto v-6 mustang that had cold air (bbk) and exhaust (flowmaster 40's) on it and some racing rims by about 1/2 a car lenth. the 2.2 ecotec is a better engine to modify there are way more parts for them on the market including a turbokit even though there is a supercharger for the 2.4

if you know where to look there are plenty of parts for the 2.2 ohv and the 2.4
