Chevrolet Performance - LTG 2.0L Turbo Crate Engine - Information & Specs

[@thisisnothere14]

They should have msde this an option for the cruzes damn an engine like that would have been amazing!

[@jjs777fzr]

I applaud GM for offering this in the gen 6 Camaro. Once the v8 only fans realize its 2020 and a decent I4 turbo is a smart move we can get down to what makes this a great performer. Good HP and torque and lightweight. I’ll say it again - lightweight. Combined with the Alpha platform based Camaro and this LTG engine we have the makings of a sports car. I appreciate the v8 and the worthy v6 engine options but this turbo makes me want to take a deeper dive into tuning options in the Camaro.

[@Treefork]

It won’t stand up to the v8 Camaro by any stretch (aside from fuel economy) but it is a fun engine and can keep up stock with the 3.6 Impalas V6 Chargers and with a little tune can generate about 310 HP and 340 lb ft torque. They’ve put these in Malibu’s since 2013 and some 2020 Terrains have them as well as the Blazer.

Working on putting my second LTG into a Sonic. It takes a bit of fab work, testing and tuning but always comes out looking like it rolled this way from the factory. My brothers and I do this on the side of anyone would be interested, you purchase the engine and just pay for labor. We do everything else. We can do 2012+ Sonic’s, Malibu, Trax, and Trail blazer

[@Anonymint-vj7bt]

How much does the LTG weigh fully dressed? Where are you located?

[@BiscuitsButtered]

I have a ‘17 Sonic RS. Would this be compatible?

[@streetsweepsonic1360]

@@Anonymint-vj7bt I don’t have a weight but it’s definitely heavier than 1.4 have some Megan racing coil overs to help even out the ride with the extra weight. Abs no plastic supports of any kind

[@streetsweepsonic1360]

@@BiscuitsButtered you have to make it compatible. Take a bit of fab work and removing and replacing things. Such as the coolant tank that we put next to the battery on the bracket.

[@ubacow7109]

This crate is way underrated. Wish the FWD option enabled the use of different differential options.

[@bk138gt6]

My gf has this in her ATS and it's great

[@collinator68]

looks like it will fit nicely in my 98 S10 regular cab short bed, my old 2.2 vortec is about toast again, and if this 2.0 turbo will bolt up to a NV3500, then im in buisness!

[@jamespepper2541]

That engine would be really fun in a, Chevy Chevette!!! 😎

[@w41duvernay]

One of these in a Chevette would makea heck of a sleeper.

[@TheTransporter100]

Or a Vega or Monza

[@anothername8107]

Would like to see this in an older Pontiac

[@roberthays8526]

Hi Bill, used to work with you at Big A Auto Parts.

[@frankfarago2825]

This is only a DI or GDI or SIDI engine, right? And does not have the additional port-side fuel injection also, like od many of the Audi, VW, Ford, Toyota, and Lexus engines?

[@relentlesseducator]

correct

[@midniter2001]

So does the ltg share bell housing with any other GM engine?

[@TheNorcalshooter]

are these like an E-Rod Motor meaning if I swapped into smoged Vehicle , can I pass smog with Cats, ??? I live in California

[@midniter2001]

With proper paperwork, it should

[@sissymarylen15741a]

Motor rips pretty good in my equinox

[@AZHighLife]

I need this for my 1980 Monte Carlo turbo

[@TheTransporter100]

Looks like it's no longer available??

[@mgbchuck6527]

If I wasn't totally committed to my SBC this would of been a great option in my '64 MGB

[@moisescalderon8109]

How about Beretta z26?

[@stratocat1980]

Do these still have piston issues?

[@OwninFools2020]

no, they fixed that back in the early years of this engine

[@leesantos9711]

Awesome motor !

[@ueg-zm8wf]

sure?

[@noon4531988]

performance figures are good but reliability and turbo lag are unbelievable

[@ClickLikeAndSubscribe]

No noticable lag whatsoever!

[@midniter2001]

I have very little lag. It's usually spooled by 1700-2000 rpm. And pulls strong all the way to redline. Love my ltg.

[@evansautomotive307]

will it bolt to a solstice ar5?! Thanks!

[@Matt_Lanzer_13]

Evans Automotive with the proper bell housing, yes it should

[@evansautomotive307]

@@Matt_Lanzer_13 Yeah it soesnt bolr straight up to any ar5. Only the tr3160

[@Matt_Lanzer_13]

Evans Automotive not with the factory solstice ar5 bell housing it won’t. But since the ar5 came in so many cars, you can mix and match bellhousings from things like dakotas, keeps, Suzuki’s, etc and find one the works. People use them behind newer Ecotecs frequently. Hell I’ve got one ready to go behind my turbo 3.8 Buick motor

[@evansautomotive307]

@@Matt_Lanzer_13 the ecotec LTG doesnt have any adapter plates quite yet, but getting a tr3160 isnt too hard

[@Matt_Lanzer_13]

Evans Automotive that’s my point... you don’t need an adapter plate if you get the proper oem bellhousing... the ar5 was put in everything from gm trucks to solstices, to dodge trucks to Toyota supras (as the r154) and other yotas like jzx’s, as well as a bunch of other stuff etc.... you can get an oem bellhousing that will bolt up without any issues so long as you source the right one. For instance, I’m using the bellhousing from a 99 dodge Dakota 2.5 on my own ar5 to adapt it to a 3800. You can adapt the ar5 to just about any gm engine without an adapter plate. You just have to find the proper oem bellhousing

[@jaimeruiz521]

I wonder if you could swap these into a 2004 cavalier

[@midniter2001]

Sure can, use Malibu ltg and transmission, may need to fab up mounts

[@BBL_Drizzy91]

I want to put one in my cruze. Fuck why does it have to be expensive 😭

[@2010HarleyDynaFXD]

It has more HP and TQ than a old TBI 350 wonder how good on gas it would be in a Cadillac Fleetwood weighing around 5500 lbs "Hearse"

[@midniter2001]

I have it in my 13 ATS, I get 20mpg and I'm really heavy footed if you know what I mean. It's just a smooth engine. And there's definitely upgrades out there for these.

[@JorgeRodriguez-xv9vo]

Wondering 🤔 be nice in Chevy Vega wagon

[@hawkdsl]

What they should have put in the Sonic RS models.

[@aussiedisco]

These fit in a chevy malibu 2005?

[@rmblwgn]

well anything will fit with enough cutting but you are closer to fitting than some noobs asking to put them in the cruze. The malibu's 2.2 gen 2 engine is actually in the same family as the ltg (gen 3). That being said, it would be just as much work as any other swap(enormous) which would be trying to get the wiring to all talk with stock vehicle. You are better off buying a new buick or malibu that has this engine.

[@bryanmcgee7522]

For impala 03?

[@Matt_Lanzer_13]

Bryan Mcgee no. This is a rwd engine

[@HelperBot5000_]

@@Matt_Lanzer_13 The LTG is for the FWD engines. They use it in the FWD and AWD Buick Regal and the FWD Chevy Malibu

[@Matt_Lanzer_13]

TheBlackFlame it’s also used in the Cadillac ATS, the base model camaros etc.... I.e, rear wheel drive. Hell, Chevy literally put it in a nova lmao. point of the matter is it won’t bolt into an 03 impala

[@duesing6]

Just a warning the Vacuum pump on the back of the exhaust cam will explode and either run metal threw your engine or break the timing chain and destroy the engine. Just stay away, any new engine that cant run 100k miles is a waist of time as well as the company that built it.

[@frankE91210]

lets see it rip grandpa

[@Zues120]

And those fuckers already stopped production of the engine. I just had to give up my GMC terrain that had this motor for a boring ass equinox 1.5L because of it. They shelved this for a replacement that has less than 220hp. So lame!
