Cams for the 2.2 ECOTEC
Saturday, October 16, 2004 2:10 PM
I'm looking for a replacement cam instead of the standard, sad one. I know that Mantapart supply one made by Crower, but are there others?? I'm looking for something with slightly less duration than the Mantapart one called OP 1148EC, Anyone who knows duration for the standard and OP 1148ES one sold by Mantapart???

check out colt cams, they also make cams for the eco's. Also check out the post on j-body.org about that company in canada that is starting a GP on their cams. They dyno'ed 15whp on a eco with just a AEM intake. <br>

Yeah the guys from JBO with that new cam sound like they know what they are doing. They even have dyno slips up of the runs that show 15 WHP gained with just the AEM as the only other mod. Looks interesting.

That's my car in the dyno tests, lol.. And BTW, they they are working with Colt Cams to produce this exclusive grind. www.levelzeromotorsports.com I've had the cams in for about a few months now, and they're great. No loss of low end at all, slight gains even, then lots more power from 3500-6000rpm, and no CEL codes(check engine light) either!

BTW, that was 15whp gain with the cams only, I had the AEM CAI for the baseline dyno run.. <br>

Tobbe, why don't you just purchase the cams when they become available?

I used to have a set of cams from crane, I never installed them though. the cams I had were custom but I think crane sells cams for the eco now.

Yeah I might. I would like to know what duration and lift they have. And I would like to increase the revs. I have found other cams in Germany that will give me 35 hp and a rev range from 2700-7500. Look

But it seems like a good camshaft at a good price, so I´m tempted!

gm sells cams, im thinking about buying them but their not ground out, i think gm wants you to use the 2.0L specs from their drag racer. i work for GM and i bought a CD about ecotecs and they give a cam spec sheet but im not sure if it will work with 2.2L ...im trying to find out cuz someone needs to step up and start designing some S** for these motors cuz they get back i got AEM cold air in mine and i can feel the big difference .well later someone please try to keep up to date with new stuff out id appreciate it ....

check out www.levelzeroperformance.com, my car has the prototype cams for that grind they are selling. They have a GP on at Jbody.org right now.. They will work with the stock PCM with no codes, check out the power gains on the dyno sheets.

We have bigger profiles for the ecotec, but none of them will work with the stock ecu. Being that you are from Germany you should be able to get away with a much larger cam, but truthfully I know nothing about the computers in your car and how they will react. If I were you I would try to go with a set that has been tested in your breed of car.

I can't comment on the quality of their products, but I have heard they can be very slow to ship things out.

I think the Mantapart cams are good, made by Crower cams.
