Hello Guys,
I am new to the site and have searched the site around in the perfomance section. I am doing project for my school right now where we are building a 18' rail car powered by an ecotech 2.4L
We will be using a 2.4L non s/c. I have read the GM build book and other few sites, but was wanting a engine configuration to achieve around 300 to 320 hp We have to stay inside this window of horsepower. I also didn't know if the build book would be compatible with the 2.4 we have since it was stated as a 2.2L book. Sorry if I ask a few stupid questions but am new to the eco scene and am from a v-8 background.
Any information and links would be greatly appreciated.
We are also looking for sponsors!
Thanks,
Adam
I forgot to ad that we are most likely going to be adding a turbo system to the engine.
Hey Adam...shoot me an email with some more info about your project. I sell Hahn Racecraft stuff and know Bill personally. I think he might like to hear about this and I know I'd love to help you build this baby up.
Shoot the email to
here and I'll get back to you ASAP. Give me a list of things you already know you need and I'll shoot you a list of some prices.

Well the group is a auto group here at ISU Indiana State University that is trying to show that we can make a 10 second car out of a four cylinder engine using some of the newest technology today. We thought that the ecotec was a good engine to use because of the great durability and the technology of the engine is still new to the market. Instead of using a 350 that anyone is able to build the ecotec is new enough to draw a lot of attention.
Like I told Adam in my email reply...I would love to help you guys out. I have a lot of Ecotec connections and info.
I can't give you guys free parts or anything but I can get you parts at a very slim margin. I always wanted to be in one of these builds but I could never get anyone else at the school behind it. This could be my way of helping build one

New technology,LOL, Buddy Ingersoll ran 10's with a pinto in the 70's with a 2.0 4cylinder engine and a turbo with a holley carb on it. We have Mustang here at Gateway Raceway the runs 10.0 and pulls wheelies with a 2.3 ford 4cyl and a turbo. Esslinger can help you out if you want to build a fast 4 cylinder.

And at my local track we have 1.8L Mazda Rotaries running 8s and 9s in the quarter. What's your point? Building a fast 4 isn't hard if you know what your doing.

There's where knowing how to wheel and deal comes into play. I guarantee that no one here can guess how little I've spent on my car. In a year no one has even come close. It's only expensive till you learn how to connect and shop around.
