also-are the newer quad 4's any better? i heard they had less aggressive cam specs and smaller valves-is this true? -
i'm envious of the 08-up cobalt SS with a 260HP Turbo EcoTec... 2.0L i believe and there is also a "performance pack" from the dealer that allows for more boost and pumps it up to 290HP...
if i had to get a compact FWD car, there it is...Leave a comment:

quad 4 vs ecotec-do they compare?
just of curiosity, id like to see what your opinions are of these engines im comparison. this isnt for a project, im just curious now after all the bragging about the quad 4.
how does the early 90's 180hp stock quad 4 stack up to a 2.2 ecotec used in the 04's (if these much difference between ecotecs)-if things like bigger tb, minor porting/portmatching, headers, a good tune, & a high flowing exhaust.
with just these modifications, how do you guys think these engines stack up, is the ecotec a contender or is that 40hp stock difference going to leave it a good deal behind, even though both engines would be pretty decently opened up & tuned/allowed to breathe.
what do you guys think?
