I have a 2007 Saturn Vue with the 2.2 ecotec motor. I just wanted to get some thoughts on a potential V6 swap and what’s all involved. I know the 2.2 is a gm motor and the 3.5 is a Honda motor. Obviously the computers and wiring harness to the motor would have to be changed. But I would purchase both motor and trans together. How difficult would you guys think that would be? I’m in no rush, honestly the 2.2 I have runs fine and probably won’t swap it out until it goes out but I would like a little more power then the 2.2 puts out. Just looking for some thoughts, thank you.

 

Don’t bother, if you want a 2007 Vue with more power sell your car and buy one. I am a professional mechanic and your plan is nearly impossible.

 

I would take the 2.2 over the honda motor any day.
theres a lot of work in putting a motor into something it doesnt belong in.
I'm doing it right now.

I'm not a professional mechanic and would second andys notion. Or drop another 2.2 in it. Theyre plentiful.

 

Thanks for the info, I will just keep the 2.2 in it.
