	ECOTEC Power from GM
		However, as the Ecotec pushed through 283 hp at 4400 rpm, all four connecting rods simultaneously failed catastrophically and smashed through the side of the block.
		GM Racing converted the Ecotec to a multi-stage dry-sump oil system designed to reduce crankcase windage and thus increase power by scavenging oil and crankcase gases directly from the cylinder head and oil pan into a high-volume external tank.
		The Ecotec was finally reliable to 650 hp at 19 psi of boost -- a relatively low level of boost, indicating outstanding volumetric efficiency.

		The all-aluminum Ecotec is true to this heritage, weighing in at 275 pounds (125 kg) in a typical configuration.
		The Ecotec employs dual counter-rotating balance shafts to cancel the secondary vertical shaking forces that are characteristic of inline four-cylinder engines.
		The turbocharged Ecotec engine that propelled a modified Saturn ION Red Line to a 212.684-mph speed record at Bonneville produced 700 horsepower under sustained full-throttle operation on the demanding run across the expansive Salt Flats.

	ECOTEC ENGINE INFORMATION (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Ecotec's flexible architecture results in low emissions and supports 1.8 to 2.2 liter variants of the engine.
		Maximum valve lift and duration are essentially the same in all of the engines, but the ramp-up rate – the speed at which the valves reach maximum lift – is higher in the ION and VUE version.
		It is clear to see that the Ecotec 2.2 L (L61) has leveraged GM's worldwide design and engineering capability by drawing on the best practices of technical centers in North America and Europe.

		Yet the system adds little weight or assembly complexity to the basic Ecotec DOHC architecture because the Ecotec family was designed from the beginning to easily accept technology advances such as variable camshaft phasing.
		The Ecotec 2.4-liter is one of the first GM engines to employ this sophisticated new controller that leverages 32-bit processing power.
		The Ecotec 2.4-liter’s basic structure has been enhanced in several significant ways to ensure the engine’s increased displacement and power do not compromise the Ecotec’s high levels of inherent refinement.

	Ecocat Replica - 2.2L Ecotec - Project Build - Kit Car Magazine
		As we forge ahead with KIT CAR's ECOCAT project, the most unique planned feature is the use of a 2.2L Ford Ecotec engine for "motorvation." While the body modifications that were made were extreme, the conversion of a front-wheel-drive powerplant to a rear-drive application is the defining element of ECOCAT.
		Using the inline-4 Ecotec engine plus a five- or six-speed overdrive transmission system offers a modern high-output engine to the niche market of RWD kit and replicars, street rods, and other purpose-built vehicles.
		Step 1--Reverse Engineering: To make the rear-wheel-drive transmission system work with the Ecotec, we had to understand the way the original transmission was attached to the engine, including the starter mounting, flywheel construction, clutch plate, and disc.

	NHRA Xplod Sport Compact Racing Series News: General Motors' Ecotec engine
		The goals of the Ecotec drag race engine program were to produce 600 horsepower for the Sunfire and 700+ horsepower for the Cavalier, a power band that stretched from 5,500 to 9,200 rpm, and the durability to make 25 full-power passes between rebuilds while retaining stock components whenever possible.
		By exceeding every one of these objectives, the race-prepared Ecotec engine promises to make the Chevy Cavalier and Pontiac Sunfire frontrunners in their respective classes in front-wheel-drive drag racing and forerunners of a new generation of GM four-cylinder performance engines.
		The Ecotec engine was developed by an international team of 230 engineers and technicians that included personnel from Opel's International Technical Development Center in Rüsselsheim, Germany, GM Powertrain in Pontiac, Mich., and Saab in Trollhäten, Sweden.

	GM Prods Ecotec to 1000 HP - The Car Connection
		Powered by the newly developed Ecotec 2.0 liter factory race engine, both cars seem to violate two time-honored cardinal rules of drag racing; there is no replacement for displacement and no substitute for cubic inches.
		Remember that the Ecotec in its stock form puts out 140 horsepower, respectable but not earth-shattering performance for the 2003 Cavalier, Sunfire, ION and VUE in the U.S. What it lacks in displacement it makes up in structural integrity and lightweight design, tipping the scales at around 350 pounds for a complete stock engine.
		Far from a one-off factory piece, the Chevrolet Ecotec 2.0-liter race engine was designed to be recreated by ambitious sport compact racers, according to GM's O'Blenes.

		ECOTEC was asked by the British Association for Bio Fuels and Oils (BABFO) to calculate the Greenhouse Gas emissions from set-aside land in the UK.
		When the details of the analysis are reviewed we see that DTLR actually take a broader view of the system boundary and include also emissions arising from the production of the ammonium nitrate fertiliser.
		BABFO requested ECOTEC to undertake the same exercise for GHG emissions from set aside.

	Drag Racing Online - Features: Sport Compact Tech pg.1 Vol. IV Vol. 9 September 2002
		Starting with a bone stock ECOTEC 2.2-liter engine in April, 2001, O'Blenes and Steve Bothwell, engine development manager at Bothwell Racing, were able to produce 140 horsepower using a dyno at Shaver Specialty Engines in Torrence, Calif. By removing the exhaust system from the ECOTEC they were successful in increasing the horsepower reading to 170.
		Since the cylinder block on the ECOTEC is an open deck, which means the cylinder walls float freely, GM Racing engineers machined-out the cylinder walls and made their own steel sleeves that were pressed to the block.
		GM Racing engineers then began weaning the ECOTEC off nitrous, added a turbocharger, and increased the air flow in the cylinder heads by opening up the intake and exhaust ports, taking the horsepower level up to 650.

		Granted all the ECOTEC motors share the same geometry as far as the exhaust side of the cylinder head, there might be fitment issues between the platforms.

	Ecotec Engine Performance Guide
		Before the Ecotec as we know it there was a 1.9 DOHC motor used in Saturns during the mid to late 90s, sometimes nicknamed the Preecotec.
		Reason for this code is that the 1.9 and its close relative the Ecotec L61 don't use a sensor for the position they use a signal off the 4th cylinder plug wire.
		It is unlikely there will ever be a plug wire kit made specifically for the ecotec because of the car not orginally having spark plug wires from the factory.
