i have a 2.2l ohv engine in my cavalier right now with pretty much every bolt on for it and its still not enough for me . so what i want to do is rip the motor out and either build this motor up and spend a @!#$ ton of money and turbo it or do the same but get a z24 engine or an ecotec ????? so my question is which motor is worth spending the money on and getting the best performance and i was also curious what is all needed to swap from my motor to a z24 or ecotec ?????? if anyone could help me out with this dilema let me know your opinion thanks
I built my 2.2L, it's cheaper and easier if you've never done a motor build before. And if you're going to turbo, the small gains from the DOHCs in stock form don't mean nearly as much in the end.
fortune cookie say:
better a delay than a disaster.
can anyone tell me whats up with which motor to go with please im trying to start doing this @!#$ soon. thanks
both the 2.4 and 2.2 eco can be made to have lots of power. eco has more aftermarket parts and support
Im a Xbox 360 fanboy...and damn proud of it!!
iit depends on how big your budget is. personally, i love mt ln2, and will never have a cav with a different engine in it. build and turbo the engine you have now.

Not to mention, 2200's are a dime a dozen anywhere you go. so if you mess the first one up. you can get another for cheap. Theres a junkyard in my town here that has motors for $200 out the door. you pull it of course. but when i went, i found at least 7-8 98+ cav's with a 2200 in it, and more with the pre 98 2.2ohv in it. Im hearing more and more of 2200's being boosted. i say go for the gold with the 2200
