hey guys i wanted to know what size engine can i fit in my engine bay?

 

do you mean like a 4, 6, or 8?

 

good question.

I was thinking the other day how EFFIN cool it would be to stuff that LS4 in there from the Impala SS!!!

a lot of weight though, and I can make plenty of power with a built and supercharged 2.2

bump for a better answer

 

I'm sure you could fit a SB in there but have to have a heck of alot of mods lol..

 

turbo k24!!!!!!!

 

I think the easiest way to drop a larger engine into the cobalt would be to go with the standard Chevy 350 small block, and then convert the car to RWD. That would probably be the cheapest for the most power. Although, pretty much any engine that you swap into there would be easier to go RWD than remain FWD.

 

I'd think any V8 would be too long to fit w/out hacking a lot of the sheet metal to get it to fit. A V6 wouldn't be too bad a fit. I'd actually like to see the 3.6 dohc and 6spd auto swapped in a Cobalt. Spray that dude w/a 100 shot and look out!!

 

i was thinking a 6cyl vr38dett twin turbo charged engine, or lower compression ratio and turbo charged which would be better??

 

lol u kno how big that motor is...nooo way....possibly an Sr20 ..

 

ok but what about my other plan??

 

to the op: stick with the ecotec or get a different car. if you have to ask a question like that, you obviously aren't capable of doing such a swap.

to the mods: this thread doesn't belong in this forum. can someone please move it to the "nubsticks benchracer" forum?

 

who said i was going to do the swap i'll pay someone to do it and its an opinionated thread if you cant give an opinion on the topic then dont leave posts

 

i thought i did leave an opinion. let me repeat: stick with the ecotec or get a different car. you'd end up paying someone more than the car is worth to swap in a big motor and drivetrain.

besides, this is the 2.2 engine performance forum. and no, engine swap threads don't fit in that category. all of these moronic "opinionated" threads are what makes css.net a pain in the ass. you have to sift through pages and pages of bullshit and "what intake/exhaust/led tail lights/crappy m3 mirrors/jdm engine/steering wheel cover should i get?".

 

Why would you swap motors? GM has a published build book for the 2.2 Ecotec that gives you stages all the way to 1400HP.

 

no kidding... you have a block that can handle 1500 hp with out sleeves...

hazuse christof...

 

you guys are right thanks for the advise, oh and i thought that since it had to do with a 2.2 i figured i can put it in this catagory

 

this is a funny thread... or at least the OP was.

we were talking abut that on Vegas for PS3 the other day..haha

 

Way way offtopic

But it's advice, not advise.

How does an engine swap have to to do with a 2.2 engine if you're thinking about(I don't know why you would) swapping in a different engine.

 

obviously a kid, look at his User name. start small buddy. not going to say anything else as i have already gotten a formal warning from a mod.

 

I'm 18, but then again I have always been very mature for my age.

 

tru, maturity is independent of age, i still dont want to insult the OP, but you get what im saying.

 

The Ecotec 2.2 L61 Is Capable ( With The Propper Work) Of 1700 Hp, You Dont Need Another Motor Just Time And Money

 

the most u culd probably get in there as far as GM is their 3100 motor which is already transverse...

 

Get the transversal VQ and trans out of a maxima.
