Who makes the Cobalt block? I've heard rumors stating it is a Honda motor. Is this true?

I know Honda and GM have a little partnership going on, some of the newer Hondas are/will be On-Star equipped.

Redline has the same engine as the cobalt SS/SC the 2.0 Ecotec which is from opel as stated above. Saturn uses the Honda 3.5L V6 in the Redline VUE and the normal V6 and AWD V6. It was a partnership to exchange disel engines from ISUZU to honda for the 250HP 3.5L. A bunch of people think the Ecotec is a Honda engine when its not. Ive even caught dealerships saying that.

I wouldn't call Honda garbage. They make some of the most durable, reliable blocks. They are among the sport compact elite that can produce 100bhp per liter NA, and they have several blocks doing so; b16a, b16b, b18c, k20a, f20...

Does anyone know what engine is in the aforementioned Honda equipped vehicles?

That's very nice... I'll tell that the the multitude of blue smoke burning Civics that I pass on my way home. In answer to your question, without me being a dick this time, is NO. Only the Vue V6 is from Honda, it's actually the reason that I didn't buy the car. Great motor, but I hate Hondas. Nothing you can say about it, nothing you can argue about. Just don't like 'em, mainly due to the ass-monkeys that drive them around here. Not all of em, but most of 'em. I can appreciate things like the S2000 and the RSX-S, but you're paying for alot more than I care about. I put put over 100hp/L and do so MUCH cheaper then either of those two Hondas, and lets be honest, the first thing every kid wants for their Honda is a turbo...

I ask a simple question and you respond with a 'no'. That in no way helps me.

The Vue Redline has a transverse mounted 3.5 liter honda V6 that makes 250 ponies. The regular Vue V6 AWD has a 3.0 liter that was also longitudly mounted in the rear drive caddy catera. Both engines are the same Opel V6.
And yes. Hondas are trash. So are the obnoxious little mufflers, or fart cans which make the car louder, not faster.

I understand that. I am asking for the ENGINE CODE.

All Hondas are trash? Tell that to the S2000 and NSX owners. FYI, I've seen far too many Chevrolets with canister exhausts.

Why the fuck are some of you guys so ignorant. Open your eyes. Honda drivers are doing the same thing your are, it's called tuning.

It seems as if asking questions on this forum can be easily compared to the adage of the monkey fucking a football. It is an exercise in futility.

Code on what engine? Are you talking about the Vue's engine?

Also I think that the Ecotec Engines for North American sold cars are made at Saturn plants in Spring Hill, TN or atleast the 2.4L Ecotec


Honda Engines are good engines. I just perfer the Tourqier Domestic engines.
I can care less about the High Reving high hp with less tourqe engines like you get from Honda.

Thats not correct. My aunt has a 2005 AWD V6 VUE and it has the 3.5L engine. The 3.0L was discontinued in the VUE in 2004. The L300 saturn still uses it but not the VUE since 2003. The VUE only uses the L61 Ecotec and the 3.5L SOHC honda engine now.

I am a Honda fanboy because I know more about them than you?

Actually, FYI, I don't even drive a Honda. I just have respect for all cars, regardless of the make or manufacturer.

And Tiger, if your car is supercharged, it isn't NA. NA, in case you were wondering, is an abbreviation of "normal aspiration, in this context, "normally aspirated". Your supercharger takes your car out of that ategory and places it into the FI, "forced induction", category. You don't make 100bhp/L NA if you have FI.

Xtremegrandam, thank you once again. I am guessing the engine is from a Honda Odyssey. Thanks again.

NO we just cleared that up the Ecotec engine is NOT a HONDA engine. Whether its the 2.4L Ecotec, the 2.2L Ecotec or the SS's Supercharged 2.0L engine. The Ecotec engine originally entered the US in SAAB's 93. Saturn then used a 2.2L varient of the engine exclusivly for a few years in the ION, L-Series, and VUE. Until the engine went global and is now used by most GM's line. The Ecotec was designed in germany under GM's division Opel. Do you guys understand now?

oh sorry about the capital letters I just wanted to make sure you got the key point

No shit? Try re-reading my post. I know it's forced induction and my point was that I can buy the car that I have for 1/2 of what the NA Hondas making over 100hp/L. I called you a Honda fanboy because the first arguement from a Honda Fanboy is the HP/L one. Well, that and you can spew off a list of Honda engines from memory by their production codes dosen't really help. Man take a chill, just becuase I think Honda's are pieces of junk dosen't mean that you have to agree... it's my opinion. Unfortunately where I live I am surrounded by dumb kids driving absolute pieces of crap with a 6" coffee can on the back of their Civics... just don't like 'em anymore...

The G6 is nice a better than my 2002 Grand Am in some ways and in others its not. I love the clean styling and exterior finish and quality. The interior though is very noisy when its cold because of the plastic dash and its kinda plain since its all black. I really liked the vinyl my GA had and the driver oriented controls. I love the panoramic sunroof and the manual mode on the transmission (although a true manual is always better). The interior feels a lot more roomy too. I know the 3500 Series engine is assembled in Mexico but I never heard that it was a Korean engine. What I always read was it was the replacment for the 3400 Series OHV engine in the grand am. The 3500 Series in the G6 is a pushrod just like it.

What's with all this bashing on Honda motors?? If you guys remember correctly, the V-tec motor (GSR) was on top for a while, before any of our cars came out. Seems to me that our cars were designed to compete against this motor is why we should be thankful that our cars have the power needed to beat the Honda motors. Had the GSR motor not produce 170 hp stock, I'm pretty sure that most of the other makes wouldn't have seen the need to make a motor that has over 200 hp. I have a lot of respect for Honda's motor, with the fact that most of them are NA and could still keep up with me. But bashing like this is going to be the reason why this site will probably end up like a BS forum where everyone just comes to BS and talk trash. Let me know when you guys find an NA motor (4 banger) that could run 9's, then I might start to think that Honda motors are a bit out class. Let's keep the peace, and help each other out.

The fastest NA Honda is in the 8s or 9s somewhere. Not exactly sure where tho.

The GSR vtec is a blast. It hits so friggin' hard.

Sp00ner, a 99 Civic Si, brand new cost the same, if not less than your car. The b16 in it is one of the aforementioned 100bhp/L engines. I agree tho, I cannot stand the Honda tuners that feel their cars are far superior because they have basic i/h/e bolt ons. That still is no reason to hate all Hondas. If you look around a little, you WILL find a Honda that you like.

To keep the peace a little, what kind of supercharger is in the Cobalt SS and Ion Redline?

Well GM and Honda did come up with a deal a few years back. Honda will give GM 4cyl and 6cyl engines for GM/Isuzu's more superior diesel engines. And that is why you see Honda Engines on the Vue.

Just like you see Toyota and GM make the Matrix/Vibe in the NUMMI plant in California that uses Toyota engines.

If I am not mistaken the Neon's and the SRT-4's are Mitsu engines and Mitsu's Turbos

I talked about the trade for V6's for Isuzu disel engines earlier in the thread. But,Partnerships like that are becoming more frequent within the automotive groups.

On another note-
I'm not sure why people are so quick to bash honda's engines and cars who are GM/Ford and other US brand enthusiasts. I always try to give credit where credit is deserved.

I also understand that everyone had their own opinion and I respect that even If I dont agree. I have been on so many forums where people dont understand that everyone has the right to express themselves as long at they are doing it a manor that is appropriate. A few years ago I started my own forum which started as being for Pontiac and Saturn owners and I have recently expanded it to all GM. This is when I really learned how to be diplomatic. We just all have to get along we are all here for a reason and there is really no reason to be against each other.

I'm actually not too sure. Its just how they have been built I know most Honda engines are single overhead cam engines where most GM engines are Dual or OHV (pushrod engines). From my experience with Honda's they produce low end torque but lack in the higher range. I'm not an engineer so I cant really say anything but comment on my own experience with GM and Honda vehicles.

Mad Mike yes there should be aloud to have diffrent opinions. But there is a respectful way and a disrespectful way. You are starting to really lean to the disrespectful way.


I might be wrong on this but I think a lot of reasons that Honda's higher hp but lower tourque is do to the Compretion ratio that Honda's have compared to Domestic engines.

You can have a difference of opinion without being rude or arguing. (which is called debating) I dont know where you get that I'm trying to say no one should have a different opinion. Saying people should respect each other. If you cant get your point across without disrespecting people thats pretty bad.

Just correcting a little here so no offense meant, but it is true that domestic engines have alot of torque, but it is also true of foreign engines too in the way of Nissan i.e. take the 3rd gen 2005 altima 3.5SE 250HP at 6000RPM and 249ft. lb. of torque at 3300RPM.

As far as bashing on Hondas goes... think about the people that would own a Cobalt or a Redline, and then think back to when they were driving their last car, which in my case was a 124hp Saturn SC2. I had to deal with so much crap from other car 'people' who, in my area, are mainly Honda kids. MOST of them have a Civic with the exact same horsepower as my Saturn. 3 of the kids I know well, and have taken them on the highway on the way to my house and whupped em good. Ya know what would happen when I tell someone my car beat a Civic? Needless to say, they didn't believe me. So my guess, is that alot of other people on this site have had their fair share of headaches with Honda kids, seeing as most of them drove Cavis or Saturns or Sunfires, or similar cars.

The only real point about JDM's Civic Si cost comment I have, is I can't see a Civic Si going for $18,000. Honda's base price is $19,320 starting. I know kids that almost paid $17,000 that for their Civic EX. I would have to say that it costs almost the same as my car. And it's a 160hp, 2.0L engine. So for the same price, you get a N/A honda that redlines at 6800, and puts out 45+ less horsepower and has 132lbs of torque. That's kinda my point on a Honda engine. Yes, you can get a great piece of engine, but you're going to pay alot for it.

Mad Mike... while I back most of your ideas, u gotta work on the delivery bro. I might have said 'There's no Honda garbage under my hood', but at least I kept calm afterwards!

I hear you when I had my yellow 2001 Saturn it really attracted the attention of some of the die hard import people and even a lot of the neon owners who were just like the "ricers". I would be minding my own business and they would fly up on my back bumper and tail gate me. And every time all I had to do was down shift and take off down the road. Same thing with my Grand Am they do it all the time So I understand that. I have had someone run into the back of my car because they were being stupid so when someone tail gates me (which I never drive under the speed limit unless there is ice or the traffic infront of me is bad and I cant go faster) It really upsets me half the time I will floor it and get as far away from the people as I can. Which probably isnt the best thing to do..... But I'm not about to have another person smash into the back of my car and then end up dealing with problems for the rest of the time I own it and then end up having a terrible resale value.

Well GM and Honda did come up with a deal a few years back. Honda will give GM 4cyl and 6cyl engines for GM/Isuzu's more superior diesel engines. And that is why you see Honda Engines on the Vue.

Just like you see Toyota and GM make the Matrix/Vibe in the NUMMI plant in California that uses Toyota engines.

If I am not mistaken the Neon's and the SRT-4's are Mitsu engines and Mitsu's Turbos


But the ECOTEC engine is NOT a Honda engine not even the block http://www.answers.com/topic/gm-ecotec-engine Wow look at that link it has the Code numbers those Honda Guys love. :D

To the best of my knowledge, the only thing that is Mitsu on my motor is the turbo, the rest of the motor was built by PVO.

Hey mad mike, what are you so mad about?? From reading your post, you seem to only have one mind set on "ricer". Tell me what your defin. is of a ricer??? Why is it only that you see honda owners as "ricer"?? I've seen domestic cars with all kinds of sticker and and fuggly wings on it as well, but is that consider as a ricer to you?? Or is it just hondas?? I would admit, that most ricers that I've seen are honda owners, but keep in mind that almost every make has their own ricers somewhere. So is my car a ricer, since it has an ungly wing on it as well???

Yeah, I feel you man........ In my case, it just gives me a good reason to laugh..... make something positive out of it, instead of road rage...... Although I don't encourage street racing, just sometimes peeps are racing you and you don't even know it since you're only driving normally and still win. Now that's something to laugh at. But you gotta love them hondas, without them, you wouldn't have much competition on the streets..... Tell me that you're not looking for a supped up honda to try your car out??

When I made the Civic Si comments, I was refering to when they first were reintroduced in 1999. They were 160bhp/L for the same price as your car. The only reason I brought that up is to enlighten some of the more ignorant members as to Honda's 100bhp/L achievement. Besides, its given that Honda's have no torque.

As for the why no low end, Honda performance blocks have crazy top end. CRs are high too, I believe something like 12:1 in the GSR.

All b16s are dual overhead. Any Honda engine code begining with 'b' is DOHC. 'D' is all SOHC, 'K' is all DOHC, 'H' is all DOHC. The only one that differs is 'F'. F mixes both dual and single overhead.

vtecs can do one thing that ecotecs can't: produce lots of horsepower with small displacement, while remaining na. for example, look at the new rsx type-s, that things k20a2 puts out 210 hp na! and its only 2.0 leters! the eco2.0sc is good too, but u gotta keep in mind that its not na. a reason honda engines are so sweet is because of their vvt system, its the best around. the ecotecs dont even have vvt (exept for the 2.4).

anyway, its no secret that honda engines have no torque, the ecotec clearly has the edge there. honda engines havent had torque since they introduced the vtec

Okay, I'm trying hard not to sound offensive but I'm not succeeding. I'm not knocking GM. Just the knowledge of some of these people.

well i have a Chevy motor, and yes it is reliable, but not more reliable than ANY honda motor...

look at the ricers on the street, they beat thier cars all day long everyday... and i STILL see them everywhere i look, i'd choose a chevy motor over most if not all honda motors, but that doesnt mean i wouldnt own one

More reliable you say? It's like every 2nd month there's a major recall from GM. Oh, look... What's this (http://www.cobaltss.com/forums/showthread.php?t=169)? Also recent news article on another recall (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6947046/).
And another (http://www.kold.com/Global/story.asp?S=2528871 ).... (Their accelerators may stick... Hmm that sounds safe)

Don't think I didn't look into other companies. I saw one from Honda about a key not coming out if not in the car is not in "park". Big deal. Sure I did a half-assed job searching but I've paid attention to recalls and a lot of big ones involve GM, Dodge and Ford. I attribute it to the American cost-cutting mentality. Hell, cars like the Cavalier are disposables.

Yea man thats because all them ricer honda people

Mike, you are one of the most closed minded people I've seen at an enthusiast site. You're so incredibly biased. Therefore I dub thee fanboy/ricer. Yeah, I said ricer. That sticker comment supports my argument.

Saab has the same engine? WTF happened to Chevy being a domestic car, dude I think im gonna trade mine in and get a Honda so I can be a ricer too!

You already are. OMG... You know how many car companies make up GM? Not only are their engines exported, they also import. Don't you realize where GM has their hands? Everywhere. Worldwide. Here's something for you else to think about... The Saab 9-2X = Subaru WRX. Pontiac Vibe = Toyota Matrix... Well, doesn't that tell you something about GM? They believe those imports are good cars. Why can't you? By supporting GM, you're also supporting imports.

I can't believe I read through all 11 pages of this. Looks like some people are close minded and totally misinformed. I have a Honda. Yes I know that my car is slow, but I don't see how ONLY Honda's are singled out as rice. I see plenty of riced out stangs and camaros, etc. Altezzas, huge wings, fog lights on the rear bumper?! Why? Also what about the other companies like Nissan and Toyota, Subaru, Mitsubishi? Are they not rice b.c they have turboed or actually quick cars?

About Honda engines not having any torque. Honda engines w. VTEC don't have any torque b.c honda puts all it's power in the higher RPM's for gas mileage. That's what I have always read and known. That's why non-vtec engines have more torque than the VTEC's.

I am in no way a Honda fanboy or ricer. I own a Honda so what.. doesn't make me a ricer. I dont have altezzas or body kits or an aluminum wing. I love all cars domestic or import. I drove my friends camaro the other day, and I loved it. I loved the torque.

I lived in scranton area ( pittston) up until october when i got stationed here in south carolina

I live outside of Hazleton in Drums.

Disclaimer: If any of you guys atre from Club RSX, I was given the link. Don't be offended because I said I prefer the GSR. The RSX-S was just too smooth in its operations. The shifter slid into gear very easily, the car turned with little input from the driver. The GSR is much more mechanical. I love how you could feel it engage the next gear and feel everything. i just choose mechanics. The type S is awesome tho.

All b16s are dual overhead. Any Honda engine code begining with 'b' is DOHC. 'D' is all SOHC, 'K' is all DOHC, 'H' is all DOHC. The only one that differs is 'F'. F mixes both dual and single overhead.

Did your frineds Del Sol club go to Carlisle Custom Compact last year? I saw like 12 Del Sols all lined up together, all from the same club. Cant remember the name tho.

No Fords? I'd rock the new Mustang any day.

GSR is a trim for 94-01(DC) Integras. RSX is another Acura that took the Integra's place(DC5). Type-S is the trim for the RSX. Type R is mainly japanese cars, but was introduced in the US as a trim of the Integra.

VTEC is Variable valve Timing with Electronic lift Control. 3 Stage VTEC is a form of VTEC that integrates VTEC-Economy and the traditional performance VTEC. It generates decent output while mainting awesome fuel economy.

Ricer is another name for you. I'm still waiting to know what you drive...

I'm from ClubRSX. And yeah, I've got an RSX-S. You're very right. The shifter is super smooth and the steering is pretty tight.

Anyway, I don't know what you mean by 3-stage VTEC either. Does this have anything to do with the 3 cam lobes with "true" VTEC?


Hey, Mad Mike... Don't be such a negative person. There are no more true domestic (or import) cars anymore. But if you're looking for something fast, SRT-4 is a good choice. Should be faster than a Cobalt.

The current and future Civic Coupe were designed in the US and built in various locations around North America I believe. I believe the future Civic Sedan was designed in the States as well.

Anyway, you sound like me when I was 7. Here's me at 7 (think 1984, back when people still loved Michael Jackson and when he was still black). "Mmm... I love 7-Up... What? It's made by Pepsi? YUCK! I HATE IT! I WANT SPRITE!" or "What? He-Man is made by Mattel? He's garbage! I'm going back to my Hasbro made Transformers! NO!!! That's a GO-BOT!!! I HATE TONKA!!!".

3-Stage VTEC is a JDM engine, I don't think it was ever released here. It mixes both VTEC-Economy and traditional VTEC.

To explain, I first need to elaborate on VTEC-E. VTEC-E is a 16valve engine that uses 12 valves for fuel economy. The problem is, with the extra valve, fuel pools up, so it only open a little. Then, at 2500rpms, in typical VTEC fashion, the 4th valve opens normally.

Three stage combines VTEC-E and regular VTEC. Between idle and 2500rpms, the fuel economy setup is used. From 2500-4800rpms, all 16valves are used as in a regular, non-vtec engine. 4800rpms and up, regular sohc vtec is engaged and the car comes alive. It makes 130bhp and gets 55mpg. Too bad it was never released in the USDM.

Ahh. Well, I don't know if that applies to the K-Series engines which is all I care about now; out with the old... :) As far as I know, the diff between a K20A and K20A2 is pretty much the rods, pistons and cams. Althought not technically part of the engine, the intake manifold and ECU as well. So the RSX-S's engine (and VTEC) should operate much the same as the 2002+ Integra Type R's, right? Just less pronounced?

I wonder what would win in a straight... A 2002+ ITR (220 hp naturally aspirated and possibly underrated) or Cobalt SS (205 hp forced induction and dyno proven to be underrated). I'm sure that the ITR would outhandle the Cobalt anyday tho as the previous gen ITR was supposed to be the best handling FWD car out there.

Sure... I've driven the Pursuit (from Canada). I know how that thing handles. The base Cobalt is essentially the same. I've also driven a redline. Sure the handling is decent for factory suspension but it's not the greatest.

The SS isn't even out so you obviously don't have the best factory suspension. To drive a REAL 2002+ ITR, you're going to have to go to Japan man. UK and Australia's are like the US's Type S with LSD. Better yet, find the previous generation ITR (yes, they're in the US). You'd flip your car before coming close to what that can do.

There's no way you're outhandling my RSX-S considering I've dumped $1500 in suspension mods already. These are mods that ITR owners swap theirs for. Get over yourself. As your Cobalt isn't the SS, you've got a car that greatly underperforms mine in every aspect. Now let's have a pissing contest.

You do remember who started all the bashing, right? You bashed a certain group of people to start with, overgeneralizing. The term "rice" did have its roots with Asian "tuners", but it covers much more than that now. (I can say that cuz I'm Asian). I can admit that I had a ricey ride at one time but at least it looked clean relative to other cars labeled rice. Anyway, people get defensive when attacked and may attack back.

And it's not just Honda guys bashing you. I'm sure a lot of Chevy owners are embarassed you're "one of them". I'm not saying I don't have complaints about the car, I do but that's from driving it. I share it in a more civil manner. And I do respect GM for putting out a pretty powerful car for its price. I try not to be biased and I tell things as it is.

Hahahahahahahahahahahah!!!! Altezzas and a giant wing are the first signs of rice. In his case, Uncle Ben's. Or is it "wheat"? "Bread"? Maybe "potatos"?

My definition of rice is trying to make your car look fast rather than making it fast. But sure, it's possible to make a fast car ricey too. If the car looks ridiculous, then I consider it rice. (Big wing unless factory, spinners, chrome hubcaps, chrome in general but that's my opinion, emblems meant for other cars unless it's a well done JDM conversion, cheaply done lowering aka cutting springs, altezzas, some projectors/blackouts, fake air scoop, vents in fender where stock did not have any, seat covers, steering wheel covers, do it yourself paint jobs, over the top graphics, most stickers, fake rotors for drum brakes, glowing emblems, neons, some punk driver wearing his hat sideways/backwards, playing loud/stupid music on crappy system, etc)

Dammit, now I went and made myself hungry.

Anyway, Mad Mike, you should take a look at this page... It's a classic but all that holds true today. http://www.riceboypage.com/

hmm... I know that the Toyota Corolla and the Geo Prism were essentially the same. Forgot which year tho. I'll look it up.

Edit: I found the Toyota Cavalier... For some reason, that saddens me... But no, I wouldn't consider that rice because Toyota sold the GM made Cavalier under their own name.

I just modified a previous post with MY definition of rice:

Big wing unless factory, spinners, chrome hubcaps, chrome in general but that's my opinion, emblems meant for other cars unless it's a well done JDM conversion, cheaply done lowering aka cutting springs, altezzas, some projectors/blackouts, fake air scoop, vents in fender where stock did not have any, seat covers, steering wheel covers, do it yourself paint jobs, over the top graphics, most stickers, fake rotors for drum brakes, glowing emblems, neons, some punk driver wearing his hat sideways/backwards, playing loud/stupid music on crappy system, etc.
Generally, these mods are pretty inexpensive and what people do when they can't put any real performance parts on their car. Damn that Fast and the Furious movie... Everyone's a ricer now.

There may be some exceptions but it has to be done right. Like lighting and lambo style doors for a show car. My other definition (from a Canadian standpoint) is anything you buy from Canadian Tire and put on your car.

when you have a car that is as fast as mine, you HAVE to have performance mods like a spoiler. i don't want the trunk flying open at 130, right? that's how that dent got there cuz of all the downforce from driving so fast. it's fixed now, so whatever. :rolleyes:

We Honda guys can get a Cobalt if we really wanted too. There's no law against that.

Wow I am asshamed that you Chevy people are so dumb/retarded/blinded by the Bowtie. That you guys can't have an intelligent debate conversation about cars.

The only thing that those wings are there for are looks on FWD. It could slightly help on cornering but not that much.

Yeah you don't need to be lowered to run in a strait line. And if you are running on the track and break 108 in a Cavalier I'll give you props and tell you how to disable your governor.


I Know my Cavy stops at 108 but I don't need to go faster. Even though I have Fuzion tires rated over 200mph, Freedom Design Front and Rear strut tower brace, Eibach Front and Rear Sway bars, Sub Frame brace, Koni Yellow Struts, Eibach lowering springs. I have no reason to go over 108mph.

It's not a social standing argument but when someone says that I don't own my Cavalier because they are probably quilty of the same thing then I will have to put them in their place.

Even sometime I wish I didn't move out of my parents house when I did. Man just think about all of the money I could of dumped into my car. LOL O well buying my house was probably the smartest thing that I did.

dude, am i supposed to be impressed by your income? you know what WOULD impress me, if you had some balls to actually race me. i'd beat you, then your wife would have to race me.
