I have had the Ecotec taking up space in my shop for awhile now and have decided it's time to get something done. Originally I wanted to Supercharge it (especially since I already have the kit), but have since decided to Turbocharge the Ecotec. I will use the Supercharger kit as a display in my shop or sell it. My plan is to build a 350-400hp Ecotec and install it into a 'stealth' Cavalier or Sunfire outfitted to be a Grand Touring car (ie:good suspension, seats, complete dynamat treatment head to toe, high fi sound system, etc.). This project is slated to be a streetable, 40mpg (imperial) daily driver that would be comfortable on a long trip and yet powerful enough that it can pull hard enough to remove its own paint! I am going to start with the typical internals recommended for up to 750hp Ecotecs, stock crankshaft, Eagle H-beam rods, forged 8.9:1 pistons and ARP head and main girdle studs. I will be posting more pictures and blog entries as the project continues so stay posted...

- Hi, somewhere around 32-33 US I think. The power is possible via Turbocharging, without altering the base engine substantially enough to change its fuel consumption.

- 40mpg (imperial)? what does that convert to U.S.? sounds impressive with all that horsepower.
