im going to try this, does anybody know if its been done before? the plan is to get a gen-3 le5 block and put my l61 crank in it (to eliminate and reluctor wheel problems) with forged 88m diameter pistons, ive got an lsj head im going to port ive got stage 2 cams for it. and a full aftercooled LSJ supercharger for it.
The 88mm bore takes the displacement of the l61 from 2198 to 2301. 2.3 liter, im going to aim for 10.5:1 shuld make for a fun daily driver. going in this 02 cavalier Z24 by the way







diamond forged slugs (FOR SALE)

LSJ HEAD

SHORTY HEADER (FOR SALE)

ANYBODY KNOW WHAT PULLY THIS IS?

SHINEY!

VERY NICE TWIN PASS BUT IM GOING TO WELD -AN FITTINGS ON IT INSTEAD.


INJEN INTAKE CAME WITH THE KIT, DONT NEED IT, PM ME

STAGE 2 N/A CAMS

 

Not sure if it's been done before, probably, should be a fun dd either way

 

In for Frankenstein motor !!

 

That's going to be a nice 2700lb sleeper.

 

im really excited, need an le5 block, somebody help

 

Added more build pictures. I dont need all of the stuff pm me if you want something.

Sub'ed. I've always wondered how this would play out.

 

ive read tru that, i want to add the 88m bore to the mix. Shuld be fun

 

you will need to check the relucter to block and sensor clearances or just run a stand alone relucter on the frnt of the engine

 

you're the first AFAIK but it's not surprising, J-Body guys do everything first Ecotec-wise lol

 

not true in this case because im using the stock crank. but ive read the thread your talking about and i will explore that option if i need to. but i think the 88mm bore and the 94.6mm stroke will be a whole lot of fun. im planning a bunch of cooling mods and id like to put 300hp to the ground thru a 4t40e. we will see..

 

AFAIK? and im not just a jbody guy, even tho i have 5 of them, i also have a solstice and an hhr.

 

AFAIK - As Far As I Know
Gotta love the j bodies, I have a couple 2nd gens and an L67 swapped sunfire.

 

MORE PARTS,
BALANCE SHAFT DELETE KIT.

 

All groundbreaking Ecotec builds seem to happen in Jbody's is all I meant

 

gotcha, ive got some plans for the cavy i am trying to find the regal gs automatic awd trans...... awd lnf cavalier?

 

Can't wait to see where this goes.

 

the relucters are different diameters and the block depth is different also in that area and the sensors are different lengths that's why running a lsj crank in an le5 block you need a spacer to pull the sensor back out 0.030 so it dosent hit the relucter

 

well im still pooling parts, but thats a super easy fix ill see how it fits when i get the block. its only metal, it can all be changed.

 

got some zzp valve springs on black friday, starting to work on porting and polishing the head, this this is going to be awesome!!!

 

UPDATES! SLEEVED BLOCK ON THE WAY!
its currently an 88.5 mm bore, i think im going to bring it out to 90mm that with the l61 crank will make a 2.4l.

 

so after a trip to the machene shop today i decided the gen2 sleeved block was not really right for the solstice build becuase it would be too hard to put piston squirters in. so im going to punch it out to 90mm and use it for this build, a 90mm bore will make the l61 stroke into a 2.4l with a shorter stroke than the le5. should be pretty snotty. with a m62 on it.

 

should be fun....maybe i will learn something here....lol im used to working on older cars....wow what a learning curve.... my 2.2l l61 i think has a spun rod bearing......trying to pull it out now...would be sweet to build it into a fund dd

 

Since you're going to be welding on the intake anyway, why not convert to single pass? Would help lower IATs quite a bit with a 10.5:1CR. Plus you can make a how to that would help me out later. haha
