All 2.4 are drive by wire with the stock ecu. I believe you can run a tb from a 2.2 and custom ecu but its going to run you 1k+. Posted using the WoodsBuggy Mobile App |

For the amount you spend on a 2.2, there really isn't a reason to bypass the 2.4L VVT motor. It really is superior in ever way. We chose the 2.4L in our off-road applications. The LE5 is a larger 2.4 L—2,384 cc (145.5 cu in)—version of the Ecotec. Both the 88 mm (3.5 in) bore and 98 mm (3.9 in) stroke are larger, and Variable Valve Timing [VVT] on the intake and exhaust improve low-end torque. Compression is 10.4:1. Other reasons include: * The cost difference between the 2.2L L61 is negligible. * The 2.4L LE5 offers more displacement * The 2.4L LE5 supports VVT * The 2.4L LE5 supports Electronic Throttle Body * The 2.4L LE5 uses the 'reinforced' GM GEN II block [the same block as the LSJ/LNF] * The early production [2006-2007] 2.4L LE5's are BOOST READY w/ forged pistons, rods, & crankshafts * The 2.4L LE5 has targeted oil jets to cool pistons * The 2.4L LE5 has a higher flowing intake manifold [than the L61] * The 2.4L LE5 uses 58X crankshaft position sensing * The 2.4L LE5 uses digital crankshaft & camshaft position sensors * The 2.4L LE5 uses an individual coil on plug ignition system * The 2.4L LE5 uses the vastly superior 32-bit E67 ECM Just something to think about! The 2.2 L61 is a good motor, don't get me wrong! If you need harness or ECM tuning support let me know. Shaun |

Other than the no replacement for displacement thing most of this list holds true for 07 and up L61. |

I agree with you on most of similarities I've listed, however, the L61 was re-dubbed LAP for late 2008. When I see folks going 2.2 they are usually the early version L61. Just some food for thought.

The only thing I miss is the Cavalier power steering pump driven off the camshaft because it would sure make it easier to put the power steering on. |
