Do you have a 2.3L?

cause its not a swap id recommend. Its a straight foward swap, but you may be better off with the 2200 or 2.4L.

Well if you want power, you cant go wrong with an Eco swap, or even something bigger, like me.

The Ho is ahead of the Eco. If you want N/a power, go Ho.

how hard would it be to do a eco swap im not at all looking to get into hella difficulties lol what if i just do a 2.4 swap would it be worth it or a waste of time for the power gains

The Eco swap would be harder than the Ho swap. Also, you'd swap an engine for 20hp? pretty stupid IMO.

The 2.4 swap is just as hard as the Ho swap and it has 30hp less.

How bad off is the block of the 2.2? Send me an email about it... I may want it if the block's still in good condition... rgrayo01@sprintpcs.com
