Can somebody tell how in the hell I post a video and pics of my engine at idle and revving threw the RPM band?
I'll list what my engine has here in a minute, but its basically everything but the kitchen sink.
So far I have done is
Eagle Rods
Wiseco Pistons 8.9:1 comp .020" over
Ported Saab Head and valve cover
ARP Headstuds
.400" lift and 232 duration intake and exhaust cams
Cometic head gasket
Venom High Flow Injectors
Aeromotive Fuel Regulator
High Rev Intank High Volume Fuel Pump
Saturn Motorsports Plasma Ignition System
Fidanza Flywheel
Spec stage 3 carbon six puck clutch and pressure plate
RKsport upper and lower urethane engine mounts
Carcustoms urethane transmission mounts
Phantom Grip Locker
Pacesetter coated header
Magnaflow catalytic converter
Borla Exhaust
Weapon R intake
Ported throttle body
RSM rear and front stress bars
Addco rear and front sway bars
Koni Yellow Adjustable
RKSport/H@R Coil overs
High Rev Crossmember Brace
ROH 17by8s all the way around
Pirelli PZero 235/40/17
I'm just breaking in the engine naturally aspirated right now for later boost applications, I don't know whether I want to go supercharger or turbo yet. I know I will adapt the Accel DFI system to what ever I decide on.
What I want to know is have anybody built there own Ecotec engine yet with stronger internals, ported head, and aggressive cams?
As soon as I find out how to apply pics and videos to this post, I'll set some up of what my car runs and looks like.
nice!

i built my motor a year and a half ago when there was no parts avaliable so i had to go through gm racing for my parts if you want pics go to my profile and click on my cavalier
Hi Brandon,
Your car does look great, did you build your engine? Did GM only have the high compression pistons at the time when you bought them? What are your time right now with your T3 turbo? Don't your iridiums freeze up when you use your Zex nitrous? So other than you and me, do you know of anybody else that has a built Ecotec?
I'll post a video Saturday of the way my car sounds and drives, its pretty different from before, all I'm missing is to break in the engine and some boost.
right now im using ngk plugs that are 2 steps colder than stock the irridiums were a waste of time dave crowe a local freind who builds v-8s for a living built the motor and yes back in 2003 there was no other pistons available but they are holding up very well and fort wayne weather for a show car sucks it has been in storage for 3 mounths now when it was out it was beating mustangs and camaros and it pulls very hard and the motor does sound different after the rebuild it has a whine to it and the forged internals are a little noisey
have you put that thing on the dyno yet?
