Saturn Motorsports had an Ecotec in one of their drag cars which was an S-Series, I believe. I don't think the car is around anymore though.

I saw such a project on SaturnFans some time ago. They had a SC2 and wer being sponsored by Twistec to put a 2.2 into it. I was an expensive project and they ran ito financial difficulties last post I read. Dont remember where the post is now. But if you manage to fit a 2.2 into your S series, please post pics!

If you're going to go to that much trouble and expense, wouldn't it make sense to use the 2.4 rather than the 2.2?

....or the up and coming turbocharged 2.0 (260hp) they're going to put in the Sky redline.
Cheers,
Would make more since to just buy the above mentioned engines already installed in the vehicles they come in. The only old car IMHO worthy of an Ecotec powertrain treatment would probably be a Feiro. But then again just buy a Solstice... (I always wanted a Delorean with a Supercharged
3800 though.) :-\
I actually test drove a Sky recently. I find them to be a lot more visually appealing than the solstice. It's bit cramped, but feels like it will be a nice car to play around with on the twisties once it's got the turbocharged engine. It felt a bit "uninspired" with only 177hp.
For someone in the market for a a speedy/cheap 2-seater, the Sky seems like the best bang for the buck once the new engine is available.
