In these applications, the engine is mounted longitudinally. Displacement is {{cvt|1998|cc|L|1|order=flip}} with a square {{cvt|86|mm|in}} bore and stroke. Compression is 9.2:1 and maximum boost is {{cvt|1.4|bar|psi|order=flip}}, delivering {{cvt|260|hp|kW}} at 5300 rpm and {{cvt|260|lbft|N.m}} of torque from 2500 to 5250 rpm. Engine redline is at 6300 rpm and premium fuel is recommended. The sodium filled exhaust valves were based on technology developed for the Corvette V8 powertrains. The sodium fuses and becomes a liquid at idle, which improves thermal conductivity and draws heat away from the valve face and valve guide towards the stem to be cooled by the engine oil circulating in this area. The camshaft-driven direct injection systems pressurizes the fuel to {{cvt|31|bar|psi|order=flip}} at idle, and up to {{cvt|155|bar|psi|order=flip}} at wide-open throttle. The "Gen II" block is similar to the 2.4 L and also features [[Variable valve timing|VVT]] technology. The Gen II block was developed using data from racing programs and computer simulations. The bore walls and bulkheads were strengthened with a weight increase of {{cvt|2.5|lb}}. The coolant jackets were expanded to improve heat transfer, resulting in a coolant capacity increase of 0.5 liters. In December 2008, GM released a Turbo Upgrade Kit for the LNF engine which increases horsepower to {{cvt|290|hp|kW}} and torque to up to {{cvt|340|lbft|N.m}}, depending on the model. The kit retailed for $650 and includes remapped engine calibration and upgraded 3 MAP sensors. The kit is covered by the cars' existing GM warranties.<ref>{{cite web|author= Chris Shunk |url=http://www.autoblog.com/2008/12/18/gm-releases-turbo-upgrade-kit-for-solstice-gxp-sky-redline-and/ |title=GM releases turbo upgrade kit for Solstice GXP, Sky Redline and HHR SS |publisher=Autoblog.com |access-date=2012-01-24}}</ref> Boost pressure was increased from 18psi (1.24 bar) to 21psi (1.44 bar).

It switched to the higher-strength Gen II block and received a revised cylinder head (enlarged exhaust ports) and camshaft design (increased exhaust valve duration). The engine also switched from [[wasted spark]] ignition to individual [[Direct ignition|coil-on-plug]] ignition; this forced the cam cover to be redesigned. It was also switched to an E37 engine controller with new crank and cam sensors (replacing timing sensor previously found in ignition cassette). These changes increase horsepower slightly and allow the engine to meet [[PZEV]] standards.<ref>{{cite web|title=2008 Ecotec 2.2L I4 ( L61 )|url=http://g5.wrath.org/08_L61.doc|access-date=30 July 2014}}</ref> Compression ratio is 10.0:1.
