will a 2.2 ecotech fit?

Hi guys,
Will a 2.2 ecotech fit in to my 2001 SC2? Has anyone tryed it? Am I
just nuts to want to try?

Thanks, Jim

 

Saturn Motorsports had an Ecotec in one of their drag cars which was an
S-Series, I believe. I don't think the car is around anymore though.

Darn near any engine can be made to fit in your S-Series. It all depends on
how much work, fabrication, and cost you are willing to endure. Why do you
want to do this? What's your objective/goal? I ask because there may be
other alternatives to achieve it (which are likely less costly and easier as
well).

I saw such a project on SaturnFans some time ago. They had a SC2 and wer
being sponsored by Twistec to put a 2.2 into it. I was an expensive project
and they ran ito financial difficulties last post I read. Dont remember
where the post is now. But if you manage to fit a 2.2 into your S series,
please post pics!

If you're going to go to that much trouble and expense, wouldn't it
make sense to use the 2.4 rather than the 2.2?

.....or the up and coming turbocharged 2.0 (260hp) they're going to put
in the Sky redline.

Cheers,

 

Would make more since to just buy the above mentioned engines already
installed in the vehicles they come in. The only old car IMHO worthy of
an Ecotec powertrain treatment would probably be a Feiro. But then again
just buy a Solstice... (I always wanted a Delorean with a Supercharged
3800 though.) :-\

 

I actually test drove a Sky recently. I find them to be a lot more
visually appealing than the solstice. It's bit cramped, but feels like
it will be a nice car to play around with on the twisties once it's got
the turbocharged engine. It felt a bit "uninspired" with only 177hp.

For someone in the market for a a speedy/cheap 2-seater, the Sky seems
like the best bang for the buck once the new engine is available.

Cheers,
