i know most of you guys on here dont like the 2.2 ohv as a project engine but i love my car and i love my engine andf im not getting rid of either...lol..with that said.. i want some ideas on what i can do with my 97 ohv regards to tuning and creating a lot of hp/torque..will settle for cheap or expensive ideas..lol..thanks for your input
Turbocharge it(See the BOOST forum)
/thread.
Now that's insane, Luis! And not a bad idea, either! I just bookmarked it so I have a diagram/blueprint to follow for when I'm ready to attempt it on my truck. There's lot's more room under it than a J-car for which to play with the routing of the pipes, and it'll sure be a shock to the others at the scene to see a Double-Deuce'd dime remotely hair-dried. Thanks for the link!
As for the list of "What to do to the 2.2", I just invited other prominent LN2 builders on this board to help make-up a list of links as to what to do in a thread in this forum started by another member who has a LN2-powered S-truck who's looking to do a performance build-up of this engine also. The title pretty-much identifies it, and if you go there after a little while I'm sure you'll see a whole slew of links that will be helpful.
That's about all I can do for you now, marcel. Just follow the leads & you'll do well. Good-luck & happy wrenching!
LN2-builders unite!
Go beyond the "bolt-on".
Add 2 more cylinders. V6 swap FTW!

Nope, add 4 more cylinders.
Northstar > V6
to make it insane? Big block rwd conversion
to make it decent boost it
to make some power Ecotec it
or one of the 3 series.
Northstar < Head gaskets
How's this for insane: Tubbed RWD conversion with boosted ECo-Tec power! Oh sure, you may get the kind of respect that was held for guys that did the same kind of mod late in the Pro-Street era (Pro-Street looks, dressed-up pedestrian engine. Officially were called "Pro-foolers".), but if you make enough power (Like the guy running Bonneville pushing 900hp out of a Eco-Tec on E85!) you'll have the respect of all the motorsports hobbists at your scene (Tuners & traditionalists). As well as around the country, once word gtes out.
Go beyond the "bolt-on".

Yeah, but the V6 at least fits within the confines of the engine bay.

Sure doesnt. The engine bay is no longer the same size as stock- lots of rebuilding and strengthening been done there (sorry to thread jack- carry on)

Now with northstar V8, IRS, 20's n 22's
1997ztwo4, you wouldn't happen to have a video of your car would you?
If you want to make the LN2 "insane" you're going to have to do headwork, get a new cam, get new valves/pushrods/springs/etc., and then put a mid size t3 turbo on it (push 12lbs once you've changed out the injectors, spark plugs, and modified the timing).

You can add a huge dildo onto the front bumper and one of those dangling ballsacks on the back and have a paint scheme on the car to match, on the side it says THE PENETRATOR.
