Detroit area shop that builds and deals with ecotecs?

You gotta remember that all these people running 13's are on a stock car (redline or a SS) with full weight, all accessories and a STOCK motor/trans.

The kit that is built in the GMPP is a fully built motor that will make some sick power.

I checked out the bellhousing patterns becuase i hand't really ever paid attention before. Most of the chevy 4 and 6 cylinder stuff al used the 60* bellhousing. Its very very different. Almost looks like 1/3 or the 90* 3800 bellhousing pattern was used. Either way and adapter plate could be made up but it would cost $200-300 at a minimum and You could theortically used just about any trans out there at that point. As for what trans to use whats in the solstice ?

I checked the solstice transmission out in my info pile and it seems to be either a 4l65e ( at least thats what alldata lists ) or it could be a 5l40e which would mean its a 5speed. I have no idea other then calling someone like schrams and getting a solstice drop out which actually should be relatively cheap and they now offer a turbo model. That would be the best place to start as the turbo model already has some stout internals from what i hear.

they use an aisin manual trans (same as colorado/canyon w/ the atlas series engine) or a 5l40e auto, IIRC i thought it had the same bolt pattern as an atlas motor

See post #12.

Like I said the GMPP build is a BUILT motor, the stock 2.2 ecotec only holds about 280whp. (Which would "nip 13's")

Im not sure about the new 2.4.

So the guys are running maybe 8-10lbs of boost with some port work and thats it.

With a built motor, head and a big turbo it will make 1000hp+ with the build that GMPP sell.

You must remember most of these guys are using smaller turbos. Although the gauge is reading 17 psi, that turbo could be maxed out at 15psi.

If you put a bigger turbo on, the volume of air goes way up, and you can run that number at say 8psi...

They're all running the t3/t4 hybrid. t4 intake housing and t3 exhaust housing. Probably more than enough for a 2.2L 4 cylinder. Then again ecotecs can handle that much boost and more with pump gas.

If you had an automatic with a stall, then I'd try a slightly larger turbo.

Depends on how restrictive the factory turbine housing and wheel is. With a bigger hot side this would be true. If you kept the factory hotside ( supossing that it was in fact to small for optimal power) then this would not be true.Could also have alot to do with manifold design as well.
