Saturn 20 LPF Ecotec Turbo specs: 122 ci (2.0L) 4-cylinder, 3.386 x 3.386 in (86 x 86 mm) bore and stroke, 9.2:1 compression. Rated 260 hp. DOHC.
The Saturn 20 LPF Ecotec Turbo is exactly square — 3.3858" bore and 3.3858" stroke are the same — which splits the difference between a high-revving layout and a torque layout. The 3.3858" stroke does not reach 4,000 ft/min of mean piston speed until about 7,100 RPM, so piston speed is not what limits this engine's revs — valvetrain and breathing are. Each of the 4 cylinders displaces 30.5 ci (500 cc).
9.2:1 on aluminum heads is low by modern standards and generally happy on regular pump fuel.
It is one of 5 engines in the GM Ecotec family, the smallest at 122 ci. Factory fitments include the Saturn Sky Redline, Saturn Aura XR, Saturn Sky Red Line.
