Need to get an Ecotec SS Turbocharged Motor
Hello Everyone,
I have been working on this OffRoad project and I thought an Ecotec 2.2 crate motor would have enough power and I was wrong .I need more power, so I ask Turnkey where I got the crate motor from what can I do to get more power and they told me what I should do is put to Turbo on and only run it at 3lb of boost with the stock motor .and it would cost about $3800 for them to do it.
So I have been looking around to see if I can find one of the Ecotec Turbocharged 260hp motors that come in the newer Cobalt SS and I cant seem to find any crate motors with the wiring harness.
Can anyone help me out and tell me what I can find one ready to drop in the car and how much they are?
This is the offroad project that Im working on just so you can get the idea of what Im doing

2009 COBALT SS 2.0 TURBO CHARGED ENGINE on eBay!
Sorry I did not see that you were trying to shoehorn an engine into the rear of a VW. I would build the 2.2 then. You can get forged parts and work with turnkey. The LNF has so much going on in the electronics that it would be a PITA to get it working. All it takes is a sensor in the wrong possition to have serous issues.
I would go with a Saab 2.0L turbo motor ..... basically an LSJ with a turbo instead of a supercharger. They are alot cheaper than the LNF's and prolly easier to tune ....... Search ebay for saab 2.0 and there are a shitload of them under 1500 bucks.
i skimmed through your thread on ur buggy project and I was wondering how you tuned the 2.2L motor. I see how u had to use a mehcanical (wire) throttle body. what wiring harness did u use for the injectors etc sorry jst curious
It looks like he got this kit
