No, people get V8's because they need power to pull trailers or whatever. The DoD referred to in the article only cuts cylinders when they arent need. Why do you need all those cylinders going while your sitting in traffic or cruising down the high way if you can get away with just 6 of them going? Another thing, if you hate bowties so god damn bad why dont you sell it?

As for Sylvia boy... cool the fuck down. Was the question this thread started for ever answered? The pre-ecotec 2.2s have an OHV or pushrod valve train. The ecotecs have DOHC. There are other differences, but to me that is the main one. I dont think it has variable valve timing.

You know, speaking of engine technology I am amazed at how BMW can get 100HP/L naturally aspirated for their M series. I would love it if my 2.2L cavalier had 223HP!

[cavaliercrazy]

The ecotec engines run mid-high 15 second 1/4 mile times stock with a 5 speed. and they all have 140 hp stock and the whole engine is aluminum (block, head, etc.) I think fully dressed the whole engine only weighs like three hundred something lbs. It is also alot stronger than the older 2.2 liter engines found in cavalier and sunfires. GM engineers have set new world records with this new engine.

It responds wonderfully to boost. But from what I hear, a few people blew theirs up using nitrous. Not sure if it was from not being set up right or not.

If you want to know anyhting else about them just ask.

Actually as stated above the 2.2 ecotecs are base rated at 140hp and 150 torque.
