This refers to a collection of components designed to enhance the power output of General Motors’ Ecotec 2.2-liter engine through forced induction. It typically comprises a turbocharger, exhaust manifold, intercooler, fuel injectors, and necessary piping and electronics to manage the increased airflow and fuel delivery. The function of this assembly is to compress intake air, allowing the engine to burn more fuel and generate greater horsepower than in its naturally aspirated configuration.
The implementation of such a system offers a significant increase in engine performance, resulting in improved acceleration and overall vehicle responsiveness. The development of these systems arose from a desire to extract more power from smaller displacement engines, providing a balance between fuel efficiency and performance. The availability of these kits has broadened the possibilities for vehicle modification and customization for automotive enthusiasts.
