What a great car. Amazing to see all the work that goes into a strange combo like this

Kinda surprised the Ecotec hasn’t become a tuner favorite. When they introduced it, Chevy was very keen on racing it, with drag, land speed, whatever. Just to prove that it would make one ecozillion horsepower. This, and the 4200… Early 2000s GM was on some serious psycho work.

Only two 4 cylinder engines hit 5s and thats the K24 and Ecotec. As a Honda guy I give Carl props for taking the record back. Such beast platforms. You guys can argue which one is better or faster but at the end of the day both have their pros and cons. Both are amazing engines and both have plenty of aftermarket.

Finland mentioned, That indeed is a lightweight turbo in this beast. Very proud to see a finnish engineered part in the fastest 4 cyl car

It was either last year or the year before that they changed from a 5 speed to a 7 speed. Crazy to think it now has a 10 speed.

Just for a comparison, John Mihovetz prepped 4.6 4V cast block/heads has made 3,000 hp on the Westech dyno. Billet not required

Thanks peter. Subscribed. A diesel power type application with the 10speed. Keeping the motor in the heat and just adding a bit more ratio, and fuel, and spark, by tiny increments. Huge complexity to make it behave. He's a smart tuner to get this far with it. Very cool. The new Blueprint engines 3.4 litre 4 cylinder should shake up the world a tiny bit. 340hp and 500ftlbs naturally aspirated. A new dedicated iron block from them,that can fit a single Chevrolet LS3 head, or a ford Windsor head. The LS3 headed engine made the 340hp. Give it a moment, and there will be a billet alum block for that setup and 600hp. 340hp is more than most V6's you can purchase new and most of those are right at 4 litres.

0:12 I was about to comment that fastest 4cyl in the world (with stock block, no billet/custom) was 2.2L ecotec 😅🤣 and look what we have here.. I though someone beat the long standing records with something made from billet/reengineered 6:51 exducer looks quite small, I wonder how much boost they run, as its small frame turbo.. do someone know how many blades they run? Historically 7+7 was best in any size between 44-72mm when it came to flow, efficiency and pressure ratio (with straight blades) tho garrett switched to 9+0, 10+0, 11+0.. 13+0 (depending on size) with most recent turbo generations so i wonder what they run on that unit

Being a liberty there’s no shift time, gearbox only transmit power in power, not coast. And if there was half a second per shift, 10 gears, there goes your et… Dogs for the next gear are engaged and before the transmission binds, ramps on the coast side of ring of the previous gear kicks the dogs out of gear. Pretty ingenious and fool proof
