Ecotec Or Alloytec

[HoldenMan7]

Hey

I thought i would start a thread, which people can put there opinions in, if you prefer the ecotec or the alloytec and why ??

ecotec, cos parts are available.

alloytec cos you dont need parts available, and most advanced gm engine to date

why not make a poll?

Ecotec - more punchier. Alloytec is too soft.

Ecotec, because I have one.

Ecotec. only because you dont have to remove 16,000 pieces of plastic to change spark plugs

Ecotec - Alloytec is good in it's own way though. It's a double overhead cam engine, it lacks balls down below. If you put your foot down at the lights, hardly anything happens, keep your foot planted and you'll experience a mild "turbo boost uleh"..

The engine works best at high revs, which sucks for daily driving. If you want a driveable car that can actually tow something, the ecotec is heaps better.

As for a more advanced engine that does "less with more" on paper, the Alloytec. The Alloytec is a lot more refined and is like many of the DOHC Euro engines.

I'd take the Ecotec anyday. Even the 190 drives like crap.

edit: Try driving the Alloytec in hilly area's. I'd rather drive a Corolla..

^^^^

our alloytec ****s all over our ecotec towing adn throu hills in fact my vp with old 3.8 ****s on the ecotec.Also seems that the ecotec's tire very quickly so my opinion would be the alloytec more up to date

alloytec all the way.. my old man's vz exec hwith 55000km has way more go than my vt with 130000km (vx engine and trans). You just have to get used to the electric throttle. The ecotec feels ancient in comparison.

I reckon the VT feels a lot more like a VN than a VZ

my dads mate has a vz sv6, it kills o2 sensors, sounds gayer with an exahust then a ecotec, expensive in parts, no down low power at all. id take an eco any day:thumbsup:
