define a shit load..
ls2 is only 400 hp and also way heavier.

it wouldnt take much to do a 400+ hp turbo eco
rods, pistons, and a decent size turbo and its set.
can't remember exact specs but gm had an old school hot rod doing 500+ on a mild build with E85.

[Gutling]

When i budget'd out my build, I was going for 500hp on a 2.2 eco. a gt35r, pistons, rods, headgasket was 3-4k.

[04600rr]

ok i read a littl further into your posts and saw that the trans will not bolt up you have to fab stuff or buy a housing.......what route did you go?

[98layinframe]

very cool, glad to see someone finnally put one of these motors in an s10! I've wanted the turbo driveline out of a solstice for ever now.

[Blownexploder94]

at work right now new turbo eco techs putting down 295hp. thats a stock set up

[bagged83dime]

ya well im aiming for around 275-300hp, iv reduced alot of weight so it wont take much. the trans i got one hole to line up and ill drill the others

[chaospartners]

Ok.

[04600rr]

i found another thread you made on another forum....it talkes about some electrical problems you had.....what was the deal with that?
so your using the stock t5 housing and just drilling it to work with stock clutch and flywheel?

[82c5]

id really like to see pictures of the trans set up, i think this is a pretty cool idea should really mess people up being in a 1st gen

[bagged83dime]

ya for the longest time once it wormed up it would idle wierd kinda up and down fast. i thought i had checked everything but this last weekend i had the intake off and i guess when i put it back on i must of pluged somthing in all the way that had been lose cuz it runs great now no problems. as for the clutch im gonna use a cavi flywheel and im hopeing the s10 cluch will bolt up. their almost the exact same, the only difference i know of is the cavi clutch disk is 8 7/8 in and the s10 one is 9. so maybe the s10 clutch and pressure plate will bolt to the flywheel but if not ill just use a cavi clutch, the input shafts are the same in the t5 as the cavi.

[bagged83dime]

i uploaded a vid on youtube like 3 hours ago and its still not up so as soon as its up ill post a link

[icedragon]

couldnt you just have flipped the intake arround so the TB was facing the front of the truck? i know that theese engines are not a standerd dizzy engine and what are you doing about that GHEY ASS oil filter setup they have on them engines? oh and are you going to put the engine cover back on it? cause it would look bad ass if you put the cover on it and painted on the cover or even got a sticker on it that said something like 83 2.2 ecotech


i would love to do somthing like this but with a fifties pickup and an engine and everything out of a BRAND NEW silverado i think that it would be bad ass to open the hood to see such a new engine and with the feul econimy on theese newer motors you can have the best of both worlds POWER AND FEUL SAVINGS as opposed to a 350 carbourated

i give you an A+ for creativeness

just remember that 1400 hp engine has a price tag over $70,000

i have an extra 2.0 LSJ from when I blew mine a while back and bought an extra, if i get bored, who knows i might drop that in there. Not sure if i wanna get into fabbing up mass parts just for a truck used to haul shit in though

[04600rr]

found the vid on youtube but it isn't working right now.....

[04600rr]

i also read on another forum that the colorado 5-speed will bolt up to the eco.....these trans are a lot cheaper then buying a bell housing or a solstice trans

[bagged83dime]

from what iv seen under the colorado, its the same trans but has a different bellhousing and wont bolt up but i may be wrong. ya the vid is up now heres a link. sorry about my tip ratting in the vid i just went ahead and welded it up today

i was wondering what that was...what had to be done for mounts?

[bagged83dime]

it has some taped holes in the side of the block so i just made your standerd rubber mount and then made some small links with hiems and used them as a front solid mount

[bagged83dime]

first off im not trying to build 1400 hp so who cares and second, show me a 2800hp v8 that dident cost near or more then that. just my point of view

Props, not to mention, power/weight ratio, may not be a huge difference, but there is a difference... BTW, awesome ride, great build. I have to say, one of the most creative, interesting and intriguing things I've seen. Very original, and still performs! Again, great job bro!

[b_evans06]

I really like it. Not every motor swap has to be a v8. Especially for a bded cruiser a 4cylinder would be nice for gas mileage and reliability compared to an old carbed v8. With all of that weight reduction it should have plenty of power to drive comfortably. Props man I like the whole idea.

[bagged83dime]

thanks i dont know if i mentioned i shortend the wheel base or not, i used to have a thread on here called project supershort. pritty much its got a 100 in wheel base and a 5 1/2 ft bed. just throwing that out their

[SH-60B]

I noticed that in the last pic in your 1st post. A very cool and interesting truck.

[walker01s10]

I wonder if the oil pan out of a 2.9l colorado would fit on the 2.2 eco tech motor. Might be a way of doing this conversion with out having to modify the motor crossmember.

you were the one that was categorizing your 2.2 in the same dimension that gm had on one of their nearly completely custom down to the block $70k 2.2 drag car engine.
also, if you would like i can post some links to 3000+hp cars that have about $40k in the engine. but then again the argument will be made "but is has more displacement"

well i realy dont need to get in it with someone i dont know or cant see so sure...you win... its a crappy project and my motor sucks........ ok you happy now? now i can get back to people who are here to look at projects and see what other people are doing so thay may get ideas for their rides and stop playing with people who just pic shit apart and talk shit all day. have a nice day




as for the oil pan thing i havent seen one so im not sure, thay do make a drysump pan that would work but i dident want to go their

[SC6311]

Seeing as how the truck has been "lightened" substantially, I would assume that even with minor mods the truck would be decently quick. Do you know what the truck weighs right now? Like 2,000 lbs?..considering all the stuff that went bye bye.



CHRIS

[bagged83dime]

i have no idea, ill have to wait till its drivable to get its weight. im real curious

[m007gunit]

I like your truck! Very creative I have a 330hp v8 and considering this option or a diesel, I realized a bagged carbed daily driver is cool but sucks on gas and I love things that are different good job!

[98layinframe]

what is it with you idiots and trying to bash him just because its not the normal run of the mill 350 swap? If anything this guy should get a pat on the back cause hes doing something different.
Go to a car show and see how many s10s with there buy every bolt in off the shelf v8 part's are there. Its ok though, Im sure there will probably be more people standing around the 2.2 s10 anyways.

no one is bashing him for it, he compared his bone stock 2.2 to the ecotec drag motor and after i clarified that it was absolutely nothing even remotely close to it, then he got defensive in the matter

[mostizzle]

alrite eveybody stfu and build sum trucks

[bagged83dime]

i brought up the 1400hp eco becouse it was sayed thay cant make power not to compare it to mine.

[04600rr]

got anymore pics? this thing is fing sweet.......
as for wiring your using mostly everything from the cavi and didn't use hptuners?

[Tuckin15's]

Man this thing is nice i always wanted to put the ecotech 2.2 in my truck you just gave me some more modivation went my 2.2 takes a shit.

[bagged83dime]

no hp tuners yet, im gonna get it driving befor i drop 500 on a program and start realy moding it

I really want to see a diesel swap.
too bad gm doesnt have a 4 or 5cyl diesel

[98QueS-10s]

......um they made a 2.2l diesel.....



Engines

Years Engine Power Torque VIN code
1983–1985 2.2 L Diesel I4 58 hp (43 kW) 93 lb·ft (126 N·m) S


probably impossible to find though

[off camber]

That's a fvcking cool swap.

forgot about that...

I was thinking more like now though.
I know they have some in the brazillian s-10 and the cruze for the rest of the world has a small diesel but nothing for us.

diesel s10 did the swap, check his thread out.

[98QueS-10s]

if you want it bad enough you can make it happen

[bagged83dime]

evan a jetta diesel would be sweet, talk about gas milage

[dimerunner88]

looks great,those are great little motors.
