ecotek 2.0L = 1,100 HP !
I was reading the march issue of sport compact car, and inside they have an article about GM's Ecotech engine. This engine(only a 2.0 liter) can produce horsepower upwards of 1,100 HP ...with UNDER 30 lbs of boost! how the f*ck do they do this??? how is this engine that efficient? I think they said it was using 1.6 lb injectors (1600)... thats alot of fuel. But even so...wouldnt it need much more then 30 lbs of boost to put out numbers that high??? I am confused as to why a subaru engine ...say the ej22t boosting as high as 30psi wouldnt even come close to 1,100 horses...how is this done???!

That might be a little imbelished.
About a year ago Hot Rod reported on this new 2.0 ecotek and said that the engine would safely handle upwards of 500 hp. This was stated from a press release at that time.
I beleive Hot Rod even accomplished 500 hp in a Cavelier with about $3-4k in bolt-ons (super/turbo).
Good luck getting that to the ground with a stock transmission!

its not how much the engine is being boosted, its the volume of air being forced in, take a look at the size of the turbo being used and you'll see its like big rig size, probably as big as our engines. plus this is in a race only application, so yea, you can expect the crazy stuff to come out in those types of engines.
probably see the torque come in around 10000+?? one thing about 2 liter 4bangers you can rev the **** out of'em.
1100+ from 2 liters isn't unheard of tho.. top fuel funny cars make something like 1000hp per liter.. granted thats not pump gas. but I'd guess whatever echotech is burning to make 1100hp is far from 91 octane as well.

The motor makes over 1000 hp on C16. It has no changes to the block, and no structural changes to the head, just porting. Crank, rods, and pistons are different of course. Yet more proof that drag racing is easy.

the Ecotech engine is very strong but its only worth it on the drag strip. Altough if GM comes out with the Solstice and all those other cars on the new KAPPA platform you will see alot of IDOTS with 500hp cars on the road. and thats with less than 5 grand of crap on the car.
