[edit] SKU codes

See Talk:List of GM engines#SKU codes for a (incomplete) list of SKU codes used in Opel cars, including some past Family II Ecotecs.

[edit] Tables

Can someone move the model information into tables. One engine has been done, but the rest require tables. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sydbot (talk • contribs) 19:57, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hot Rods

Who uses this thing in hot rods? While GM says that the ECOTEC is the new small block of the tuner generation, who's actually made a "hot rod" with this thing? I think associating "hot rod," a term used for highly modified vehicles which generally use American V8 engines, with the ECOTEC is both unfounded and untrue. kevinthenerd 18:17, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

The Ariel Atom uses Ecotecs

[edit] L34

A bore of 86 mm and a stroke of 88 mm for a four cylinder engine does not result in a 2.0 L displacement. Kevinthenerd 18:23, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Yes, it does -> V=πr²h, or π(86/2)²(88) -> 511174.82mm³ per cylinder -> 2044699.30mm³ total displacement, or 2044.70cc, or 2.0L (rounded to 2 significant digits) 19:43, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
