the shop i work at had a big poster of the Summitt Racing cavalier, with a picture of the ecotec motor. it looks dumb. it's a cavalier.

cavalier = poop.

i wonder if in domestic forums, if ecotec is misspelled "eco-tec", "eco-tech", and so on, and so on.

Variable Valve Timing and Electronic lift Control


i think that's it....it's essentially a more aggressive cam for the upper RPM range.

eco tec works sorta the same as vtec, but alot shittier. as we all know Vtec switches to a different lobe at whatever the rpm is that its ment to. EcoTec, moves the cam over to put lobes on different valves to get the same result. gay.

wrong, noob

ecotec has absolutely nothing to do with valve timing. its just a name for the type of engine

and before you spew some bs about "well i dont care about knowing what ecotec does/is cause i dont like lame domestic cars lol" just keep in mind that there is nothing worse than a noob that tries to pretend that they know what they're talking about

from what i understand, the ecotec does NOT have variable valve timing- here is the gm press article for that motor

I'm sorry i should edit that and take out the "valve" in the Variable Valve Timing.


ignition and fuel injection control= continuously changes the timing to give the best power/fuel mileage.

Which is exactly what I said it did. I dispute the ownage that was put on me. [/b][/quote]
i reinstate the ownage that was put on you based on the following statements

you DID say that the ecotec had variable valve timing. that was what the whole dispute was about in the first place. now you want to say that it doesnt have variable valve timing, it has the ability to control the fuel and ignition?

hello and welcome to the modern age where cars use fuel injection, aka the use of a ecu and various sensors to control fuel and ignition!!!!!!!!!!!



Quote:

no, not in any way, shape or form, is you saying a motor has variable valve timing exactly the same as saying it has fuel injection

I'm so fucking sorry. take the fucking "valve" out and damn, I'm right.
maybe, but by taking the word "valve" out, you completely alter the entire concept of it.

ok- reread the original post and know that they ARE talking about valve timing

bottom line- ecotec is NOT variable valve timing. end of story. its just like every other fuel injected motor.

Quote:
but in your own words, it's NOT valve timing...so now you're going back on your own words
no, i am going back on YOUR words. you said its variable valve timing, not me. i was simply stating that there is a difference between valve and ignition timing.

Quote:
That's great. Last I checked he was asking what ecotec was. until you geeked your way through, I was the one that made the most sense in trying to explain it.
Yep, he was asking what ecotec was. You told him the wrong thing. I corrected you. As far as "geekiness" im not sure if you are in a position to be calling me a "geek" especially when you have your pics available on the net...hehehe

ok here is everything you could ever (or never) want to know about a fucking ECOTEC engine

read it and stop this gay ass fucking arguing:



The Ecotec 2.2-liter engine, hailed as General Motors' first truly global engine, delivers excellent fuel economy and low emissions in a reliable, durable package with low noise and vibration.

The lightweight aluminum four-valve overhead cam engine will be available in the 2002 Chevrolet Cavalier, Oldsmobile Alero, Pontiac Sunfire and Grand Am and Saturn L-Series and VUE. Chevrolet, Oldsmobile and Pontiac applications are rated at 140 horsepower with peak torque of 150 lb-ft. The Saturn VUE version is rated at 143 horsepower and 152 lb-ft of torque, with the L-Series rated at 135 horsepower and 142 lb-ft of torque..
The Ecotec 2.2-liter engine features a modular design, providing flexibility for a number of future technologies such as turbocharging, variable valve timing and direct injection-gasoline. Low maintenance is another key hallmark of this engine: oil and filter replacement is the only routine service required.
The Ecotec 2.2-liter for North American applications are manufactured at one of the world’s largest engine plants in Tonawanda, New York. Other versions of the Ecotec 2.2-liter engine have already been introduced and well received in several other GM applications around the world. The engine debuted in the 2000 Saturn L-Series and is also featured in many 2001 European applications including the Opel Vectra, Astra, Zafira and Speedster

Compact and Efficient: Lightweight Engine with Chain Drive

Both the cylinder head and block of the engine are made of lightweight aluminum using the lost foam casting process (see below). Because of the utilization of modern design methods, the 2.2-liter unit weighs 139 kilograms (307 pounds, application dependent).
The new engine family is also very compact in construction. The two overhead camshafts actuate the inlet and exhaust valves via roller finger follower rocker arms. This configuration results in a very compact cylinder head design. The camshafts are driven by a single roller chain only 12.5 millimeters wide as opposed to a much wider toothed rubber belt, resulting in shorter overall engine length for packaging and mass advantages. The Ecotec 2.2-liter has a stroke of 94.6 millimeters and a bore of 86 millimeters. Overall, in the new applications, the Ecotec 2.2-liter is only 665 millimeters long, 642 millimeters wide and just 655 millimeters tall (26.2 x 25.3 x 25.8 inches).

Low Vibration: Structural Oil Pan, Rigid Lower Crankcase, and Twin Balance Shafts

Smooth operation with very low noise and vibration is another important attribute of the Ecotec 2.2-liter engine. The counter rotating balance shafts are housed in the cylinder block to cancel the primary vertical imbalance inherent to 4-cylinder engines. The structural oil pan, box-like lower crankcase design, MLS (multi-layered steel) gasket and long cylinder head bolts (163 millimeters, 6.25 inches) provide a rigid structure for the engine. The 360 degree mounting flange for the transmission adds to the powertrain rigidity. All the accessories are directly mounted to the engine structure without any brackets, which helps eliminate noise and vibration.

Low Maintenance: Routine Maintenance Limited to Oil and Filter Change

Low maintenance is another customer advantage for the Ecotec 2.2-liter. In addition to a reduced space requirement, the timing chain with hydraulic tensioner requires no maintenance over its entire working life. The same applies to the high-performance ignition module, which is mounted directly in the cylinder head cover and has two individual ignition coils located directly above the platinum spark plugs. This arrangement eliminates spark plug wires, resulting in greater operating reliability and lower maintenance requirements. With hydraulic valve lash adjusters, the finger follower valvetrain also requires no routine maintenance. Overall, except for changing the engine oil and the fully recyclable oil filter, no routine maintenance is required.
Use of roller finger followers provides about 5 percent reduction in friction compared to
