Must be a 302? 289?

mustangdan · 12-20-2006, 01:37 PM

WarriorDriver · 12-20-2006, 01:39 PM

Cool, the car in my sig had a 289 in it when I first got it, then went in the 302 on N2o, then the current 351w... Im looking for pics of my motor.

mustangdan · 12-20-2006, 01:49 PM

I will be building a 302 roller with 70 351 ported heads and a 250 shot...

SRPS13 · 12-20-2006, 02:09 PM

that looks high tech

UrfavNME · 12-21-2006, 02:22 AM

That 302 sounds like it will be nice, but why not buy a SC for it while you're at it? Supercharged Fastback....MMMMM

mustangdan · 12-21-2006, 07:40 AM

Don't have the coin right now. I would love to do a old school Paxton setup on it...

ecotecjosh · 12-21-2006, 08:31 AM

should just stick a chevy motor in it :) Like a 383 or 427 smallblock :) Then u might actually be able to get on the freeway at freeway speed :)

mustangdan · 12-21-2006, 09:49 AM

Hey Josh, wanna drag race? I am sure you can give me a run in your Cavy.... BTW: How is the mellon?

ted_garlock · 12-21-2006, 09:56 AM

My roommate's dad has a 66 with a 289 bored 30 over and every other bolt on imaginable, sweet car. I don't have a build list, but should get one from him, hell I should get him on here.

mustangdan · 12-21-2006, 10:03 AM

Melon's doing alright, collar bone is quite annoying though.

Hopefully this spring the cavvy's getting a new clutch, blower, and lsd :)

After that I'm going to try to get my willies finished :P

mustangdan · 12-21-2006, 10:19 AM

Damn! I hope you heal soon and have a great Christmas.

ecotecjosh · 12-21-2006, 10:25 AM

Have a good one too Dan, we'll have to race at FNSR for shits and giggles this summer :) I plan on actually putting some time and $$$ back into the cavvy. I think currently my best time was 15.5 @ PR but that was with the stock 14" all seasons and 2.6 60' times haha :P

Last time we had a motor in the willies, it had a slight wheelie problem LOL.

mustangdan · 12-21-2006, 10:38 AM

If you want help, give me a call. I love the old stuff!!!!

Is that the 2.2 Eco? I'm not up to date on the newer GM 4cylinders. Mods?

it's easy to work on, just a matter of $$$ and garage space. It's a 42 willies flat fender jeep, lowered. RWD with a daina (spelling) rear end. Setup for chevy small block :)

It likes to wheelie :P

Yes it's an ecotec 2.2.

Car has
KYB AGX struts
Eibach Sportlines
Eibach Front/Rear sway bars
Freedom Design strut tower bars
Hawk hps brakes
Weapon R intake
Weapon R 4-2-1 header
custom 2.5" header back exhaust

dyno's around 140hp / torque

The car's original intent was to be used as an STS autocross car, but once I was successful in that and got in a huge arguement with the late Steve Cobb and his son, I no longer race with ASNW.

Was thinking of selling it, but couldn't get what I wanted out of it so now I figure to add some boost :)

Yeah I had that in mind, easy room for improvement there. Checkin it out, my girls car, 02 Grand Am has the 2.2 in it. Things are pretty ballsy stock. From a light I have a tough time pulling on her car, I can get the jump on her cause I have a 5spd but as soon as I shift to second she pretty much hangs right where she is, about 2-2.5 car lengths back. If I screw up shifting she can close that gap really easily.

I could imagine that engine in a lighter car could get going pretty damn fast with boost.

ecotecjosh · 12-22-2006, 08:17 AM

Ya they are pretty quick for what they are. GM has really backed up that 4cyl motor with the NHRA teams making huge hp with it.

Most of the stock j-bodies are running high 15's manual or automatic (such a flat torque curve it only makes a few tenths of a second difference)

Having the car already setup to support the supercharger, on a day with descent traction (running sport tires of coarse) most people are high 13's low 14's.

I really want to do brake upgrade, LSD and a new clutch and hit some track days because I'm more into that sort of thing hehe :)

I may also do the stage II GM cobalt upgrade as well, al though I would have to switch to HPtuners EMS completely.

Right now HPtuners is not compatible with the GM ECU reflash so I would have to do one or the other hmm....

SRWitt · 12-22-2006, 10:21 AM

Doesnt GM offer factory built drag Cobalts? starting at a lil over 30K is what I think I read. Or was that just an idea they had.

ecotecjosh · 12-22-2006, 12:33 PM

around 30k bux in the Cobalt SS, its a 2.0 supercharged ecotec. There is a 2.4vvti ecotec and a 2.0 turbo charged ecotec running around from gm :) All of which is compatable parts except most the cars other then j-bodies a different ecu setup :P

twotons · 12-25-2006, 11:27 PM

Josh, the HP tunner does or doesnt suuport the 2.2, we are currently tunning with it and love it on the all the LS based engines. I will do some checking i am interested in tunning the cavy if we can.

ecotecjosh · 12-26-2006, 04:35 AM

hp tuner does support the 2.2 ecotec cavvy however does not support the reflash GM supercharger programming. So I would have a choice of either tuning from scratch or just running the GM reflash
