just ordered a 2008 2.4L intake manifold for my swap, will i need a adaptor plate to keep my stock tb? and when i switch to the 2.4tb is it plug and play with the wires? and will i need to buy a 2008 tb to match the IM? help would be appreciated a adapter plate like this? http://www.crateenginedepot.com/Ecot...10540C667.aspx

 

Yes you need an adaptor to run the stock tb.
If you change to a 2.4 tb you need to get one with the same number of pins on the connector. I forget what year it changed but you will also need a tune. Won't run without one.

 

I too have been thinking about getting the 2.4 IM and TB, but I just want to know if my current CAI will fit on the TB?

ok i ordered a adapter for it and i will check my connector to see how many pins it is. thank you for the help

 

Pretty sure all 2.2/2.4 intakes are interchangeable.

 

I'm not sure about 08 but the 2.4 intake manifold I bought from ZZP my 07 2.2 tb bolted right up, it has the correct holes just one bold goes in a different place (the 5 bolt holes on the tb and only 4 bolts)

 

my 06 TB had both bolt holes also, i went ahead and put the adaptor plate on though, the tb with out didnt sit right for me. just finished inatall, took aboyt 45 mins to do it and it runs great, idles better than before, while i was there i cleaned intake ports on head and tb. its raining here though so test drive sucked, tires broke loos at 40 in second, too wet outside. it pulls past 6 now no problem. bit louder also, TB and tune would make it better i bet but all in all im happy with it, i didnt notice low end loss either, maby tune/TB would make me notice it but it feels the same low end just pulles harder on top.

 

I have the 2.4 IM and just got a LSJ TB do I need the space plate? or just the pin harness??

 

For the 08 cobalts I beleive you do need pin harness. I note sure if you need a spacer plate. ZZP's kit on there website comes with a spacer plate, LSJ TB, and harness. Just one question? Your sig. says 08 sport cobalt. You do realize your a 2.4L and already have a 2.4 IM.

 

/facepalm

 

are u doing this to a cobalt? I did it to my 03 sunflower and I just made a plate it works GREAT!!!! I just recomed that u buy the right gaskets for the 2.4 I learned the hard way u need them lol

 

I know thats why I said I have the 2.4 IM becasue my car is a 2.4 all I asked what why do I need the spacer plate? or JUST the harness. And yes ZZP has it for 129 but I dont see the point in the spacer plate. If I dont need it, Ill just get the pin harness for 40.



yes

 

now I'd be wrong but ya if the bolt patter is the same from the tb to maifold I don't see the point of the spacier it does not do that much for a 129bucks

 

I just found out it is :/ thanks tho
