Has anyone used the ecotec and if so is it hard to convert the harness? I priced the adapter plate It is 540 and I can get these motors cheap. Plus there is alot of aftermarket options

Well I found a 2.0 supercharged ecotec today complete with wiring harness, computer, sensors, and only 13k miles for 1500.00. I think this will be the next buggy conversion

Really? I need to find one for my car, it's got over 124k miles now!
That would definitely be a worthwhile engine for a buggy. Light engine, lotsa power!

If you ever have any questions about modifying it for power, let me know, I've learned a lot about these things since I got my car.

That sounds like great numbers, but rember you need to be able to put it to the ground.

I know of a kit for you to get 275 to 300 hp very safely (they claim it's safer than the GM tune) for less than $500, but for me to give up that info I want to know where you're getting your engine! :wink:

Gotcha, figured it was something like that. :D
Over the top performance sells a stage 1 kit that's a really good deal. The power ratings on the website are underrated. If I had a lower mileage engine on my car that would be in it!
