Was reading though a magazine I had laying around and came accross an article about chevys new HHR that they are planing to bring out in 2006. It is based on the Cobalt frame but is more like a SUV which I think would be about the size of a pt crusier. One of the optional engines listed in the article is a 2.4 ecotec with 170 hp and 170 lb/ft. Has anyone heard anything else about these engines? I am thinking of trying to find one once they hit the street as that would be the only motor I would swap my current 2.4 for. Any and all info about the 2.4 eco would be graetly helpful.
well itsn ot out yet. so i dont think anybody has any real useful info about that engine. i know its going to have VVT but thats it
Im a Xbox 360 fanboy...and damn proud of it!!
I saw one on Sunday. It looked pretty bad ass. Didn't get to see the engine though.
That engine is supposed to be in the 2006 Saturn Ion-3 coupe (not the redline).. I'm waiting to see.. If it's true, that's the car I'm going to get.

ADVANCED ELECTRONIC CONTROLES
A powerfull, integrated network
An all-new Engine Controle Module (ECM) leverages 32-bit processing power, 32 megabytes of flash memory, and 32 kilobytes of external RAM to deliver optimal performance. The ECM also has a high-speed controller area network (CAN) to precisley integrate with the vehicle modules that controle the anti-lock braking and adaptive cruise controle systems.
The ECM also enables GM's Oil Life System, which calculates oil life based on oit temperatures, driving cycles, vehicle loads and coolant temperature. The oil life system usually reduces the number of recommended oil changes, which saves both money and the environment.
But what I've heard is that on the Cobalt it's only available on the Cobalt LT, which will only be an automatic, which sucks cause I'd still like to have a powerfull engine, but not necessarily have to buy the SS Supercharged. (And I despise automatics)
four coil packes w/ individual cassettes instead of two like ours
oil jets for the pistons
i think it will be a sound engine
just pricey
and you need the pcm from it to get it to work
or a stang alone
Why not just stroke the 2.2?
“Facts are meaningless. You could use facts to prove anything that’s even remotely
true.
Cannon fodder is my daddy.
cuz the 2.4 have vvti
and they didnt just stroke it, it also has a bigger bore
not that much more stroke at all
2.4 has oil jets for the bottom of the pistons
Thanks for the links Jonathan. And L61 Your right and stand alone was already a part of the plan.
Don't quote me, but I think I read that the 2.4 eco is going to be in both the new Pontiac Solstice and the Saturn Sky roadsters. With that power/weight ratio, those cars are gonna HAUL.
will if fit into a 2.4l 97 cav with no modifications?
