whats the most horse anybodys ever got out of a 2.2L cavalier. thinking about doing a motor swap to the eco; just wanting to know if its worth it for a daily driver. i guess i just looking for maybe 300 to 400 at the wheels all comments welcome please help really serious about the upgrade

adler made 275whp, I believe.

theres another org member who's gone well over 300whp, but he wont share his dyno run.

If you are willing to put that much money into swawping to an eco ... then why dont you just save your money and do some serious work on the 2200 engine? Hell, it might even be cheaper.

You want to know what's not worth it for a daily driver? 300-400whp. You planning on running slicks down the street lol?

Steve, are you talking about lowfire?

My Goal is over 300 HP. I think I can acheive it.

i think Suncavi has over 300 whp on his eco with 17 psi. its somewhere around there

better off swapping in an eco



Im a Xbox 360 fanboy...and damn proud of it!!

jeezuz man, stay out of this f*cking thread!!

notec, no I was referring to Todd. (damned if I can remember his last name)

I bugged him to no end to share his secrets, and he wont. I sure I wish I made a living tuning cars on a dyno!

Im hoping to get over 300hp too.

You shouldn't have a problem hitting 300hp.

i am shooting for 300hp with a built engine and turbo. i really don't see it being a problem either. just research and stick too it.

I'll have trouble this year with the internal gate, I'm thinking I'll be limited to somewhere around 15lbs.

I'm not over concerned about boost creep right now, but if it happens I'll just keep it down for this year

yes, according to Todd he's hit WELL over 300hp with full standalone, and a direct port.

(I'm aiming to make all my power without any nitrous)

Well, that may have helped a little lol. I wouldn't completely doubt those claims, and for the sake of our cranks I hope they're true
(I just realized I bought my Mantapart pulleys from this guy...)

i have a 2.4 right know, and want to know what i should do for power?.. should i swap in a 2.4 ecotec ,or 2.2 ecotec, or just build the 2.4? what will make the higher power. this is a every day driver so im not going for a real high hp. just somthing to prove my self a little better in the streets and on the track.............
