Thursday, October 07, 2010 7:10 AM
would a 2.4 h.o intake mani + a 2.0 lsj tb be an upgrade for a turboed 2.2 ecotec? what kind of increase? how hard to install?

An HO manifold is not designed for a Quad engine. Why does everyone want to put it on their Eco? Its been done once and looked atrocious and didnt do anything IIRC.

I hear LS1 TBs can be adapted but yes the LSJ is drive by wire so no connectivity with the Cav.

I have 2 aftermarket manifolds and 75mm tb's with all sensors for sale in the Mideast forum (500 each) that have been proven to work on exotic and are set To go. Like said above the lsj tb is ran by electronics where ours is cable driven. And the 2.4 manifold unless meaning the 2.4 ecotec manifold will not work. Either way an aftermarket intake is the way to go with a boosted car.

I guess that makes sense. But the HO is from a 2.3. Idk.

yes it is, and it has been mated to an eco before, and you were correct before when you said it basically did nothing. everybody wants to try it because the stock eco intake mani sucks and there's no other decent option other than the le5 if you like losing low end pull.
