GM Ecotec engine

The GM Ecotec engine, also known by its codename L850, is a family of all-aluminium inline-four
engines, displacing between 1.4 and 2.5 litres. While these engines were based on the GM Family II
engine, the architecture was substantially re-engineered for the new Ecotec application produced since
2000. This engine family replaced the GM Family II engine, the GM 122 engine, the Saab H engine, and
the Quad 4 engine. It is manufactured in multiple locations, to include Spring Hill Manufacturing, in Spring
Hill, Tennessee while the engine block and cylinder heads are cast at Saginaw Metal Casting Operations in
Saginaw, Michigan.

LSJ

The LSJ is a supercharged version of the LK9 Ecotec 2.0  L


(1,998  cc) with an Eaton M62 Roots-type supercharger and
air-to-liquid intercooler. The LSJ shares many of its
components with the LK9 such as: piston cooling jets, oil
cooler, pistons, connecting rods, crankshaft, oil pan, sodium-
filled exhaust valves and cylinder head.[4] It is rated at 205 hp
(153 kW) at 5600 rpm and 200 ft⋅lb (271 N⋅m) at 4400 rpm
with a compression ratio of 9.5:1 and a 6450 rpm redline. With
the end of the Chevy Cobalt S/C SS and Saturn Ion Red Line,
the LSJ was discontinued after 2007. In late 2005 Brammo
Ecotec LSJ engine in a 2006 Saturn Ion
Motorsports struck a deal with GM for the Supercharged 2.0 L
Red Line
Ecotec for their Ariel Atom. The engine came in various
ratings from 205 hp (153 kW) to 300 hp (224 kW).

The LSJ was on the Ward's 10 Best Engines list for 2006.

L61

This engine is also known as a Z22SE in other countries such


as the United Kingdom, Australia, and Europe.

The basic Family II architecture was substantially re-


engineered in 2000 to become the Ecotec Gen I. Unlike its
notably harsh predecessor, the engine was designed for
smoothness. Dual in-block balance shafts were integral to the
design, the power-steering pump was mounted directly to the
cylinder head and driven by the intake camshaft, the water-
pump housing was cast into the block, and the A/C
compressor and alternator were mounted directly on the block Ecotec L61 engine in a Chevrolet Classic
without brackets. The oil filter housing was cast into the block (Malibu)
with a removable cover and replaceable paper element. It did
not use an EGR valve. The Ecotec line is manufactured in
Tonawanda, New York and Kaiserslautern, Germany, and was
also manufactured for Saturn in Spring Hill, Tennessee until
Saturn's discontinuation. In North America this engine
replaced both the Quad-4 and the GM 122 engines and first
appeared in the 2000 Saturn L-Series.[2]

The L61 is a 2.2  L (2,198  cc) version with a lost-foam cast


aluminum cylinder head and block; it features an 86  mm
(3.4  in) bore and 94.6  mm (3.72  in) stroke [2] and either a
9.5:1 compression ratio or a 10.0:1. The engine is 665  mm
(26.2  in) in length, 642  mm (25.3  in) in width, 655  mm 2003 Pontiac Sunfire Ecotec engine

(25.8 in) in height and approximately 139 kg (306 lb).[2]

The Ecotec 2.2, model L61 first appeared in the 2000 Saturn
LS1; the L61-powered Saturn Ion also replaced the Saturn-
powered Saturn S-Series.

There are a few variations to the standard L61. The 2003


Saturn L-Series has a high output version with higher (10:1)
compression and more aggressive camshaft. The 2004–2008
Chevrolet Malibu uses a version with electronic throttle control
and a special unitized exhaust manifold and catalytic
converter. The Malibu and Saturn versions also use return-less
fuel injection. The 2002 Saturn VUE was the first North Ecotec L61 installed in a 2003 Chevrolet
American variant of the L61 to be equipped with electronic Cavalier
throttle control, whereas other applications did not arise until
2005 in the Saturn ION and Chevrolet Cobalt. For 2007,
introduced an updated version of the L61 based on the Gen II design.

The supercharger and inlet manifold from the 2.0 Ecotec LSJ engine can be purchased as an official kit
from GM and along with modified software in the ECM, can create a 2.2 supercharged version of this
engine.

The L61 was used in the following cars:

L61

In 2007, the L61 received a multitude of changes, that originated from the LE5. It switched to the higher-
strength Gen II block and received a revised cylinder head (enlarged exhaust ports) and camshaft design
(increased exhaust valve duration). The engine also switched from wasted spark ignition to individual coil-
on-plug ignition; this forced the cam cover to be redesigned. It was also switched to an E37 engine
controller with new crank and cam sensors (replacing timing sensor previously found in ignition cassette).
These changes increase horsepower slightly and allow the engine to meet PZEV standards.[10]
Compression ratio is 10.0:1.

The L61 was used in the following cars:

LCV
First appearing in the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu and 2013 Cadillac ATS, the 2.5 L Gen III block has been
reworked to reduce engine noise and vibrations, while improving fuel economy and low-end
torque.[16][18][19] LCV is scheduled to replace the direct-injected 2.4 L throughout North American GM
products within a year.[20] Engine production started in April 2012 at GM's Tonawanda Engine plant.

The new combustion system developed with GM's proprietary computational fluid dynamics (CFD)
analysis software features a higher compression ratio which helps improve fuel efficiency and has improved
knock resistance. The engine features dual overhead camshafts with continuously variable valve timing and
increased-authority cam phasing (increased phase rotation angle), a high-pressure returnless direct-injection
fuel system with camshaft-driven fuel pump delivering 750 psi (52 bar) at idle and 2,250 psi (155 bar) at
full load, higher-flowing intake and exhaust ports in the cylinder head, electronic throttle control and
pistons with jet-spray oil cooling. The engine redline is 7000 rpm.

The balance shafts are relocated from the cylinder block to oil pan module. The two-piece steel-aluminum
oil pan features in-pan integrated oil-pump assembly driven by the balance shaft with a shorter inverted-
tooth chain. Other improvements include inverted-tooth chain driving the camshaft, forged steel crankshaft,
cast aluminum bedplate with main bearing cap inserts made of iron, high-pressure fuel rail with rubber-
isolated assembly, acoustically shielded plastic cover for the intake manifold, and structurally enhanced
aluminum camshaft cover and front cover. These improvements helped reduce noise intensity by 40%
compared to the 2.4 L engine and change the noise signature into a higher frequency above 2,000 Hz. The
engine also uses a variable-displacement oil pump and an actively controlled thermostat. Direct injection
reduces emissions by 25%, while continuous cam phasing eliminates the need for an EGR system.
Maximum engine speed is listed at 7000 rpm.

Displacement for the 2.5  L engine is 2,457  cc with an 88.0  mm (3.46  in) bore and 100.8  mm (3.97  in)
stroke. Compression ratio is 11.3:1.

Same as the LCV but features Intake Valve Lift Control (IVLC) system provides two-stage variable valve
lift in addition to continuous variable timing. Continuously commanded by engine control unit, the valve
rocker arm switches between high-lift and low-lift profiles on the camshaft, actuated by an oil control valve
through a two-feed stationary hydraulic lash adjuster, allowing for either 4.0 or 10.5  mm lift.[26] It also
features a start-stop system. Maximum engine speed is listed at 7000 rpm.

HCCI
At Tech Show Torino 2008, GM Powertrain Europe announced the ignition-less HCCI (Homogeneous
Charge Compression Ignition) mode of the direct injection version of 2.2 L engine.[27] HCCI version is
equipped with two-step adjustable valve lift with variable cam phasing and advanced ECU with cylinder
pressure sensors, uses lean burn cycle similar to that of a diesel engine, and is claimed to further reduce fuel
consumption by 15%.[28]
