GM Ecotec Bolt-Ons - Four Play

Cams and a supercharger turn the junkyard GM 4-banger into a 370hp mini killerDeveloped by an international A-team of GM engineers and then refined by Lotus Engineering, the DOHC four-cylinder Ecotec is considered by the General to be the small-block Chevy of four-cylinders. A true world- class engine design, Ecotecs use an aluminum block and head and so far have been offered in displacements ranging from 1.8 liters to 2.4 liters. Although the vast majority of Ecotecs are normally aspirated with cast bottom ends, special high-performance supercharged and turbocharged variants have been produced with forged rotating components. So far, the hottest U.S. version is the 2.0L LNF first introduced in 2007. The 9.2:1, 2.0L motor is rated at 260 hp and 260 lb-ft, thanks to a turbocharger, direct injection, and a variable-valve-timing valvetrain. There are few nonstock parts available for this latest evolution, although that will almost certainly change in the future.
