I thought I would post some pictures of my Ecotec project. I built a mid-travel off road chassis/Baja bug. Originally I powered it with a hopped up 1.9 liter VW motor, but I decided to move up to the Ecotec. I am at the point where it is almost ready to fire, so I am getting really excited. I am anxious to see how this motor performs in my light little chassis. The motor makes 170hp with the current mods (header, magna flow race muffler, off road mapped Delphi ECU and a K&N strapped directly to the throttle body due to space limits and lack of interest in building an intake). The car has 13-inches of suspension travel in the rear and 10.5 inches up front. The weight should be around 1800 pounds with the Eco in it. The car will have a rear mounted rad setup (soon to be tested to see if it was a pipe dream), and assorted off road stuff that you guys wouldn't be interested in. I won't bore your with the specifics. So.... on to the pictures.

This is the car when it was running a 1915cc VW motor.







This is the car as the ecotec swap is progressing.
