{{Redirect|LNF}} The '''GM Ecotec engine''', also known by its codename '''L850''', is a family of [[inline-four engine]]s, displacing between 1.2 and 2.5 litres. Confusingly, the ''Ecotec'' name was also applied to both the [[Buick V6 engine|Buick V6 Engine]] when used in [[Holden]] Vehicles, as well as the final DOHC derivatives of the previous [[GM Family II engine]]; the architecture was substantially re-engineered for this new Ecotec application produced since 2000. This engine family replaced the GM Family II engine, the [[General Motors 122 engine|GM 122 engine]], the [[Saab H engine]], and the [[Quad 4 engine]]. It is manufactured in multiple locations, to include [[Spring Hill Manufacturing]], in [[Spring Hill, Tennessee]], with engine blocks and cylinder heads cast at [[Saginaw Metal Casting Operations]] in [[Saginaw, Michigan]]. {{TOC limit|3}} {{clear}} ==Generation I== {{Infobox automobile engine | name = Generation I | aka = | production = 1999–2012 | fuelsystem = {{ubl | [[Fuel injection#Multi-point injection|Sequential multi-point fuel injection]] | [[Gasoline direct injection]] }} | fueltype = {{ubl | [[Gasoline]] | [[CNG]] | [[E85]] }} | image = | displacement = {{ubl | {{cvt|1998|cc|L|1|order=flip}} | {{cvt|2198|cc|L|1|order=flip}} }} | bore = {{cvt|86|mm|in}} | stroke = {{ubl | {{cvt|86|mm|in}} | {{cvt|94.6|mm|in}} }} | compression = {{ubl | 8.8:1 | 9.5:1 | 10.0:1 }} | management = | power = | specpower = | torque = | length = {{cvt|665|mm|in}} | width = {{cvt|642|mm|in}} | height = {{cvt|655|mm|in}} | weight = {{cvt|139|-|150|kg|lb}}<ref>{{cite web |url=http://archives.media.gm.com/division/2005_prodinfo/powertrain/whats%20new/Ecotec/_2005%20LSJ.doc |title=Ecotec Supercharged 2.0L I-4 (LSJ) Car Engine |format=DOC |access-date=22 December 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111027072512/http://archives.media.gm.com/division/2005_prodinfo/powertrain/whats%20new/Ecotec/_2005%20LSJ.doc |archive-date=27 October 2011}}</ref> }} The "[[Ecotec]]" name was adopted in 1994 for the new generation of Family II engines (2000 in North America) . The name was already used for the Opel GM Family II engine, [[GM Family 1 engine|Family 1]] and [[GM Family 0 engine|Family 0]] ranges. GM intended this new Ecotec to become its global 4-cylinder, and it has already fully replaced their [[GM 122 engine|OHV I4]] line. The Ecotec engine is a [[DOHC]] [[multivalve|4-valve]] design with a lost foam cast aluminium block and head (L850 for 86 mm bore applications, and L880 for 88 mm bore{{Citation needed|date=August 2014}}), designed for displacements from 1.8 to 2.4 L. Development began in 1994, by an international team of engineers and technicians from [[Opel]]'s ''International Technical Development Center'' in [[Rüsselsheim]], Germany, [[GM Powertrain]] in [[Pontiac, Michigan]], and [[Saab Automobile|Saab]] in [[Södertälje]], Sweden.<ref name="Auto Channel 2.2">{{cite web|title=GM's Ecotec 2.2-Liter 4-Cylinder Engine Delivers|url=http://www.theautochannel.com/news/2002/02/07/035471.html|work=[[The Auto Channel]]|access-date=15 March 2013|location=Pontiac, Michigan}}</ref> Much of the development work on this project was carried out by [https://web.archive.org/web/20060227023927/http://www.grouplotus.com/eng/ Lotus Engineering], Hethel, United Kingdom.

Unlike its notably harsh predecessor, the engine was designed for smoothness. Dual in-block balance shafts were integral to the design, the power-steering pump was mounted directly to the cylinder head and driven by the intake camshaft, the water-pump housing was cast into the block, and the A/C compressor and alternator were mounted directly on the block without brackets. The oil filter housing was cast into the block with a removable cover and replaceable paper element. It did not use an EGR valve. The Ecotec line is manufactured in [[Tonawanda (town), New York|Tonawanda, New York]], and [[Kaiserslautern, Germany]], and was also manufactured for [[Saturn Corporation|Saturn]] in [[Spring Hill, Tennessee]], until Saturn's discontinuation. In North America, this engine replaced both the [[GM Quad-4 engine|Quad-4]] and the [[GM 122 engine|GM 122]] engines and first appeared in the 2000 [[Saturn L-Series]].<ref name="Auto Channel 2.2" /> The '''L61''' is a {{cvt|2198|cc|L|1|order=flip}} version with a [[Lost-foam casting|lost-foam cast]] aluminium cylinder head and block; it features an {{cvt|86|mm|in}} bore and {{cvt|94.6|mm|in}} stroke<ref name="Auto Channel 2.2" /> and either a 9.5:1 compression ratio or a 10.0:1. The engine is {{cvt|665|mm|in}} in length, {{cvt|642|mm|in}} in width, {{cvt|655|mm|in}} in height and approximately {{cvt|139|kg|lb}}.<ref name="Auto Channel 2.2" /> The '''Ecotec 2.2''', model '''L61''' first appeared in the 2000 [[Saturn L-Series|Saturn LS1]]; the L61-powered [[Saturn Ion]] also replaced the [[Saturn I4 engine|Saturn]]-powered [[Saturn S-Series]]. There are a few variations to the standard L61. The 2003 [[Saturn L-Series]] has a high output version with higher (10:1) compression and more aggressive [[camshaft]]. The 2004–2008 [[Chevrolet Malibu#Seventh generation (2008)|Chevrolet Malibu]] uses a version with [[electronic throttle control]] and a special unitized [[exhaust manifold]] and [[catalytic converter]]. The Malibu and Saturn versions also use return-less [[fuel injection]]. The 2002 [[Saturn VUE]] was the first North American variant of the L61 to be equipped with [[electronic throttle control]], whereas other applications did not arise until 2005 in the [[Saturn ION]] and [[Chevrolet Cobalt]]. For 2007, introduced an [[#L61_2|updated version]] of the ''L61'' based on the Gen II design. The supercharger and inlet manifold from the 2.0 Ecotec LSJ engine can be purchased as an official kit from GM and along with modified software in the ECM, can create a 2.2 supercharged version of this engine.

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.

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.

The new combustion system developed with GM's proprietary computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis software features a higher compression ratio which helps improve fuel efficiency and has improved knock resistance. The engine features dual overhead camshafts with continuously variable valve timing and increased-authority cam phasing (increased phase rotation angle), a high-pressure returnless direct-injection fuel system with camshaft-driven fuel pump delivering {{cvt|750|psi|bar}} at idle and {{cvt|2250|psi|bar}} at full load, higher-flowing intake and exhaust ports in the cylinder head, electronic throttle control and pistons with jet-spray oil cooling. The engine redline is 7000 rpm. The balance shafts are relocated from the cylinder block to oil pan module. The two-piece steel-aluminium oil pan features in-pan integrated oil-pump assembly driven by the balance shaft with a shorter inverted-tooth chain. Other improvements include inverted-tooth chain driving the camshaft, forged steel crankshaft, cast aluminium bedplate with main bearing cap inserts made of iron, high-pressure fuel rail with rubber-isolated assembly, acoustically shielded plastic cover for the intake manifold, and structurally enhanced aluminium camshaft cover and front cover. These improvements helped reduce noise intensity by 40% compared to the 2.4 L engine and change the noise signature into a higher frequency above 2,000 Hz. The engine also uses a variable-displacement oil pump and an actively controlled thermostat. [[Gasoline direct injection|Direct injection]] reduces emissions by 25%, while [[continuous cam phasing]] eliminates the need for an EGR system. Maximum engine speed is listed at 7000 rpm. Displacement for the 2.5 L engine is 2,457 cc with an {{cvt|88.0|mm|in}} bore and {{cvt|100.8|mm|in}} stroke. Compression ratio is 11.3:1. {| class="wikitable" ! scope="col" | Year(s) ! scope="col" | Model ! scope="col" | Power ! scope="col" | Torque |- | 2013–2016<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.motortrend.com/news/2017-cadillac-ats-drops-base-2-5-liter-i-4-engine-option/|title = 2017 Cadillac ATS Drops Base 2.5-Liter I-4 Engine Option|date = 29 June 2016}}</ref> | [[Cadillac ATS]] | {{cvt|150.69|kW|0|order=flip}} @ 6300 rpm | {{cvt|259|Nm|lbft|0|order=flip}} @ 4400 rpm |- | 2013 | [[Chevrolet Malibu]] | {{cvt|146.96|kW|0|order=flip}} @ 6300 rpm | {{cvt|259|Nm|lbft|0|order=flip}} @ 4400 rpm |- | rowspan="2" | 2015–2022 | [[Chevrolet Colorado]] | rowspan="2" | {{cvt|200|hp|kW|0}} @ 6300 rpm | rowspan="2" | {{cvt|191|lbft|Nm}} @ 4400 rpm |- | [[GMC Canyon]] |- | 2016 | Chevrolet Malibu Limited | {{cvt|196|hp|kW|0}} @ 6300 rpm | {{cvt|186|lbft|Nm|0}} @ 4400 rpm |- | 2017–2020 | [[Buick Envision]] | {{cvt|197|hp|kW|0}} @ 6300 rpm | {{cvt|192|lbft|Nm|0}} @ 4400 rpm |- | 2017 | [[Buick GL8]] | {{cvt|197|hp|kW|0}} @ 6300 rpm | {{cvt|186|lbft|Nm|0}} @ 4400 rpm |- | 2017–2021<ref>{{Cite web|title=2022 GMC Acadia Ditches 2.5L Four-Cylinder Engine|url=https://gmauthority.com/blog/2021/05/2022-gmc-acadia-ditches-2-5l-four-cylinder-engine/|access-date=2021-05-14|website=GM Authority|date=3 May 2021}}</ref> | [[GMC Acadia]] | {{cvt|194|hp|kW|0}} @ 6300 rpm | {{cvt|190|lbft|Nm|0}} @ 4400 rpm |- | 2019–2021<ref>{{Cite web|title=GM Considering Removing 2.5L Engine From Chevy Blazer|url=https://gmauthority.com/blog/2021/03/gm-considering-removing-2-5l-engine-from-chevy-blazer/|access-date=2021-05-14|website=GM Authority|date=27 March 2021}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=2022 Chevy Blazer To Lose L And 1LT Trim Levels|url=https://gmauthority.com/blog/2021/05/2022-chevy-blazer-to-lose-l-and-1lt-trim-levels/|access-date=2021-05-14|website=GM Authority|date=12 May 2021}}</ref> | [[Chevrolet Blazer]] | {{cvt|193|hp|kW|0}} @ 6300 rpm | {{cvt|188|lbft|Nm|0}} @ 4400 rpm |} ====LKW==== Same as the LCV but features Intake Valve Lift Control (IVLC) system provides two-stage [[variable valve lift]] in addition to continuous variable timing.
