Breaking Down the Ecotec 2.0 LSJ Engine // Behind The Builds 

Ah yes, the best ecotec engine ever built Good to see that Ryan understands that too

Glad you guys made a video on our LSJs. Thanks for keep our Red Lines and SSs and even making new parts.

As an LSJ SC owner myself, I'm only looking for 300 to 320 HP max. I just want a fun car that will last.

They also have sodium filled valves but the fact that GM had a whole Ecotec race program is dope

Great to see Ryan talking about his favourite engine.

If only I could find a clean cobaltss with and lsj again, I'd jump in the platform again in a heartbeat. I beat so many cars back in 2007 when I got mine and went all out with the mods. Most fun car I've ever owned a pocket rocket and understatement. Awesome video.

Hilarious, I put NACHO SS on my tags for my 2007 yellow SS. Great video guys! ZZ Performance 4life!

In general.....it's just crazy now of days 4bangers are making crazy power, breaking records, and quite frankly making some built V8s look slow.....

Thank you so much for this video! I have an LSJ powered Ariel Atom 2 -- seems like nowadays nobody else talks about (or supports) the LSJ

LNF next 👀

I have the GM Stage 3 on my LSJ. I did use the Trifecta version to enable the AC.

Thanks for mentioning the b207 really great to know the differences and the potential that it has

Love the LSJ in my Ariel Atom2. Ive won a lot of first places and FTDs with them and help from ZZP! TVS with cams,ported,rods,10.5-1 compression all balanced by Lindskog. FLAT torque curve.

Now that you said you would use a stage 3 kit for a daily...that's all the convincing I needed!

Great info! Keep it coming!

I have that GM Ported manifold on my car with the GM stage two kit

Great video! This is the engine I want to put into my Beretta GTZ. Hopefully sooner than later.

Please do the LNF next!

Super informative and interesting video, can't wait for the lnf video.

Appreciate the lsj content Was curious on supporting mods for z57 so make 400 I assume dual pass ,option b, Fuel pump,clutch to hold it

Great video, cant wait for the lnf one!

Big power is cool and all, but I want that instant throttle response of the SC that you just can't get from a turbo.

Wow. Very interesting, informative video!

Very informative video. It answeed a particular question i had about my build. Do i raise compression or lower it. Bought a 2007 SS for 1500. Motor already pulled. Found a cylinder badly scored. Crankshaft had rust all over... Just got it back from machine shop. Saved the crank. Im staying with this build being supercharged and want at least 450whp. This will be a slow meticulous build for a future df goblin. For now it will go back into the Cobalt SS. Gonna have forged rods and pistons. Ported heads probably from zzp since they are ready to go. Big cam. Upgraded fuel system. Most likely gonna run it on e85. And a future m62 to a tvs 1320 swap when i get the goblin kit. And all the cooling mods needed. Just needed to know what pistons to get. Ill probably get the ones with 10.5 compression as originally planned. I think the way i want to build it, ill max out the m62 until i swap out for the tvs 1320. I would love to see a video on this type of build. My purpose for this build? I want off the line power for on track racing with great acceleration after getting around corners. Turbos have too much lag at the lower rpms.. Maybe ill be the one to make this build into a video. Any other advice or people i should talk to with good build information would be helpful and is gratefully appreciated! Who knows, maybe ill jump onto that dual induction im starting to see with the turbo and supercharger setup. That seems to be the ultimate setup. Its gotta be reliable though. But thats way way down the road if ever. Im so excited to do this build! You guys at ZZP are awesome!

I’m curious if an LSJ would fit in a first gen Cruze?

Can you guys do a detail vid on doing a head gasket please can’t find a book anywhere. Or send me a link to get me going in the right direction. Thankyou, I really want to save this car

Do a video about the 2.4 and the 2.2

I want to see the salt flats testing/records footage, it looks like it would have been a great time but can't seem to find anything on it video wise.

Omg I been waiting on this vid ❤❤❤❤

Intake coolant temps..... I've been working on "designing" passes in the intake for A/C coolant lines to chill my intake.... An Interchiller some call them.... I've been thinking about this for a while...why haven't you guys

Do a video on how to install your wot box on an lsj

Ok so I just bought my first saturn ion 3 yesterday. First thing I hate is that it's pretty much made of plastic and second thing is it's an 04 so it's untuneable. You guys do have simple bolt on options for intake or exhaust too right? It's the 5 speed manual

So what do I do? I want to beat procharged chargers and srt8 93mm turbo jeeps and so on. Do I finish off with stage 3 m62 or do I buy the turbo? Do I buy entry or hmmmmm

Can we see a race time attack setup of a sonic rs? I would like to do some with mine and i think it will be interesting to see

Haven't seen anyone say about putting a compound system with a supercharger enterbowl

Have you guys ever messed with or looked into making bolt ons for the LL8 that's in the trailblazers?

Where would I find a stock overhaul kit for the LSJ? I am checking out one that is an auto conversion installed in an airplane, but has not been run in about 10 years and so would need an overhaul before trusting it as an airplane engine. Also can the MEFI be updated on this engine? Currently it has a MEFI 4 installed.

The LE5 LSJ crank swap made me interested in a possibility. Does that help mitigate the problems that the LE5 has at high rpm? A high rpm NA LE5 is a build that I'd love to do since I have a cobalt with LE5.

Can you swap over the Supercharger to the 2.4l ecotec engine ?

U guys know what the lsj (B207) internals can handle in terms of hp stock?

Will the lsj head fit on a 2.5l LCV engine? Would like to have port injection on a LCV engine.

I love ecotec but man.. k series guys seem to make the power for a lot less money

So can I put one in the 13 sonic rs?

Hi guys, what # injectors do you recommend for full TVS build (high comp pistons and rods) thanks

Ryan has the old iphone x haircut

Not sure why Al says they took aluminum out of the Gen 2 block amd weakened it. According to GM it's 2.5 pounds heavier purely due to extra reinforcement. Said to be reinforced from findings in the race program. The water jackets are certainly larger though, maybe that's what he meant?

Is the 2.2 eco tech engine on grand am s a lsj too
