Question.

Plain and simple? Is it worth it to upgrade a 2.2L Ecotech 02 Cavalier LS?
I know it doesn't quite have that 'demanding' power, but should I upgrade it? Or save for another cavy?

It has standard 4 spd automatic transmission and the rest of the factory package.

Willing to invest money in transmission/drive and engine swaps.

Thanks. I'm a newb. :bricks1:

No, its not worth upgrading. Im fuckin lying!!!!!! The eco is one of the best 4 banger platforms Ive ever worked with. It takes to mods like a hooker to a super 8 motel.

hahahahaha

hahahahaha

i agree, a hooker to a super 8 motel, im gonna use that one,

but yeah to answer the question your engine is definetely worth upgrading

Guys over on JBO are finding out that the ecotec engine dosn't like dry shots of nitrous. I think like the 3-4th guy just blew his up using a 55 shot.

Or, "like a hobo on a ham sandwich?" LOL

I agree about the ecotec. I haven't dealt with cavs since the old days, when they were considered basic, cheap, bucket model transportation.

I picked up this 03 and I was quite pleasantly surprised. This thing runs, and it loves to rev. Not bad at all, I can see where a few mods would wake this little puppy right up. I bet a header and some better breathing on the front end would definitely give it some bigger balls.
