Engine drop- enlisting knowledge

[M33EVL]

Like I said I don't know much about turboing cars, but that sounds like a logical explanation. But in my case I'd probably go with cobalt swap if my current engine died on me and I had money for it more support since it's domestic for us.

from what ive read to be honest i think the cobalt ss sounds like a better swap...
so you kinda get the better end of the deal from what i see...

i just found out that 2.8 v6 ebay listing engine had 112,000 MILES on the clock LOOLLL
the guy must be on drugs!! who would buy that for that priiccee!!!

here is a tip for you, the cobalt ss swap, the "better" turbo version... is coded : LNF


Ecotec LNF in a Pontiac Solstice
A turbocharged direct injected (redubbed Spark Ignition Direct Injection) Ecotec was introduced in the 2007 Pontiac Solstice GXP and Saturn Sky Red Line. It is a longitudinally mounted engine. Displacement is 2.0 L—1,998 cc (121.9 cu in)—with a square 86 millimetres (3.4 in) bore and stroke. Compression is 9.2:1 and maximum boost is 1.4 bar (20.0 psi), delivering 260 hp (190 kW) at 5300 rpm and 260 lb·ft (350 N·m) of torque from 2500–5250 rpm. Engine redline is at 6300 rpm and premium fuel is recommended. The sodium filled exhaust valves were based on technology developed for the Corvette V8 powertrains. The sodium fuses and becomes a liquid at idle, which improves conductivity and draws heat away from the valve face and valve guide towards the stem to be cooled by the engine oil circulating in this area. The camshaft-driven direct injection systems pressurizes the fuel to 52 bar (750 psi) at idle, and up to 155 bar (2,250 psi) at wide-open throttle. The "Gen II" block is similar to the 2.4 L and also features VVT technology. The Gen II block was developed using data from racing programs and computer simulations. The bore walls and bulkheads were strengthened with a weight increase of 1 kg (2.5 pounds). The coolant jackets were expanded to improve heat rejection, resulting in a coolant capacity increase of 0.5 liters.

Unique LNF features[1] include:

a twin-scroll turbocharger
cam-driven high pressure gasoline direct injection fuel system
dual camshaft continuously variable valve timing
sodium-filled stainless steel Inconel exhaust valves
low-friction cast aluminum pistons with oil squirters
forged steel crankshaft
forged steel connecting rods
cast stainless steel exhaust manifold
This engine is used in:

2007–2009 Opel GT
2007–2009 Pontiac Solstice GXP
2007–2009 Saturn Sky Red Line
2008-2010 Chevrolet HHR SS
2008-2010 Chevrolet Cobalt SS
2010 Fisker Karma
2009 Elfin T5


so you can get the swap if you find an opel gt to tear it our of, but i think you will still need a fwd transmission...
