i have a question that is stupid but i just want to know. because im thinking on doing something on the future.
i know is a little to early to know but i just want to know if there is a posibility.
is the 2.4L ecotec engine of the cobalt SS can be supercharge.
2.4L Ecotec engine
you can turbo or super charge anything
this is the wrong fourm for boost questions
you can. but the 2.2 eco has more potential
the 2.2 has more potential than the 2.4?!??
2.4 ecotec may be bigger but it's not the same set up there is a different head on the 2.4 then the 2.2 ecotec the 2.4 is VVTi which makes it harder to boost and the 2.2 isn't even in the case of the 2.2 vrs 2.0 argument the bigger engine isn't always the better engine out of all the engines so far the quickest reving engine is the 2.0. think about it the quicker you get into the power band with a supercharger the more boost you can make the 2.4 isn't made to to be an extermly quick or high reving or engine, for instance look at the skyline the engine in the top of the line one is a 2.6 L I6 but it's revs up like crazy when it's pushed by boost so with the 2.4 ecotec your probilly getting into another whole ballpark thats not very easy to work with.basically the 2.2 or 2.4 ecotecs are better choses do to there practically
hes right...this would be better in the boost forum..or even other car forum
would you say that you would keep the orig. 2.4 or swap in the 2.4 ecotec. which would be a better build for all motor power(sfar as parts that r made for the engines?)
in theory a 2.4 with either a ported head or 2.2 head would be a great option
however if I am not mistaken the 2.0,2.2,and 2.4 all have the same bore. the difference is in the stroke and the long stroke of the 2.4 makes for an unstable motor at high rpm.
if you didn't plan to go much past 6k I think you would be alright however I dunno if forged internals are available for a 2.4

when you beat someone in a civic people wine and make excuses
when you beat someone in a cavalier they pull over and check under thier hoods
2.4 has a large bore and stroke
only the 2.0 and 2.2 share the same bore size , abd each has a different stroke
ok so your saying that the 2.2 ecotec will wind up higher than the 2.4 ecotec, so that would be a good swap over my excisting 2.4 or the 2.4 eco. dont mean to bore from these ?'s , just getting ready for future plans
and the 2.2 eco. will have more potentiel??
