SInce there are now at least three variations of the Ecotec motor all based off the same platform, what type of combinations are possible?
I don't know much about the engines, or hybrid possibilities...I was hoping I could get some information here.
2.4 VVT
2.0 S/C internally built
2.2 n/a
I'm trying to decide if I should buy a 2.2 and go from there or go with a 2.4 and go from there, or a 2.0 and go from there...but i dont want the 2.0 to be s/c id rather turbo.
Input?

notm uch out there yet for the 2.4 yet of course but you can mix the 2.0 and 2.2 to a point. id personally say just build up the 2.2 the market is growing for parts for it and has alot of potential
The one, the only, ME.
2.0 head on a 2.2 block: Not sure
2.0 charger on a 2.2 motor: It can work with modifications (ask Airtronics)
2.4 VVT Head on a 2.2 block: ????
The mystery behind this is that it's a new motor so no one has tried it yet. You would need the computer since the VVT is controlled by the computer. Fitment could be an issue also but overall seems like alot of work and alot of money invested in this project.
If your going all motor, a 2.4 motor would be a good investment since you will be having bigger displacement, Variable Valve Timing & 10.5:1 compression.

well if you can figure out a way to drop the comperison of the 2.4 then you have your self a decent boost motor what are you looking to do becasuse in reality each motor was built to serve a purpose. and its compents were added accordingly. so really there isnt much of a point unless you figure out the vvt swap if thats even possiable.

yeah i was just thinking about it and i really had no idea. dont even know if this has been asked before or whatnot. sounded like a good idea though. its done with honda motors all the time, but i dont know of a non-vvt to a vvt swap. ill check out some toyota forums and see what i can find out...theyve had vvt for awhile

You can boost pretty much any motor...in this case, because it's 10.5:1, you wouldn't want to put too much PSI if you did decide to boost it otherwise you are more than likely going to run into issues.

It's a good idea...and no, your like the 100th person this month to ask that question here lol
Hondas non-vvt to vvt swaps are easier to do because it's common knowledge, cheaper for the actual head & Honda motors are more interchangable.
