BAJA RZR Project EP9 - The 2.2 Chevy Ecotec Engine
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
On today’s Episode of DIY Willy’s BAJA RZR project. We test fit the 2.2 Chevy Ecotec engine in the BAJA RZR Project. The frame was built before I had the engine and the engine doesn’t fit perfectly.
Some modifications need to be done to position the engine where it will fit and align the clutch.
So follow along as we build a crazy BAJA RZR monster machine..

Oh man as you know that when you modify something there is a domino effect on other parts. So made room for the engine and now I have to relocate the rear shocks. I’ll have to make all new shock mounts for the factory trailing arms.I don’t want to modify the trailing arms. Never know when they’ll need replaced. Definitely a work in progress.
Big work ahead! If you can get that Ecotec shoehorned into the chassis, that thing is gonna be a rocket!

I ordered several different size shoe horns from Amazon. Should be able to get the Ecotec in there with some sawzall action! Just need to align the clutch and I’m golden. Thanks for checking it out!!
Now the technical geometry design fun begins, its an adventure Willy i know you enjoy👍. Im thinking(my 2cents) when you move that engine back closer to the Differential you might want to put a heatshield between there to keep some eng. heat off the diff.🤔. 👌

I kinda feels like a square peg in a round hole. It will fit but not till after some more fun with the sawzall. I will be installing a lot of heat shielding and a good firewall. Good to be working on the BAJA RZR Project again! Thanks for checking it out!!
So its a one of a kind custom ecotec razor thats sick people need to start tuning I n 💪🏼💯💨💨💨

Dude it’s going to be crazy. Others have used the Ecotec in buggies and it’s pretty a good engine choice. Just need to make it all work in the stretched RZR 900 chassis.
Pretty cool Willy im shopping for a wreaked smart car to drop the hybrid system into my old vw
