Hey I bought the 2.4 mani from gmpartsdirect now I need the necessary gaskets/plugs etc.... but I cant seem to find the kit anywhere!!! Any ideas????

 

what do you mean plugs when i got the manifold from gmpartsdirect it came with everything to bolt it right on

 

are you sure it was gmpartsdirect or crateenginedepot??? How much did you pay for it??

 

i bought mine from CED and it came with everything here's the gasket part numbers you will need

12600729 x1 (sits in opening of the intake manifold for TB)
24455112 x4 (one for each port)

you will also need a spacer plate that CED sells to adapt the 2.2 TB on to the 2.4 TB and that has a gasket as well but i think if you order the spacer plate it comes with the gasket, a brake booster cable, and gm part # 12589516. i hope that helps this is just everything that CED sells for the proper install i haven't installed mine yet because its too damn cold outside but that should be everything else you need if you just bought the 2.4 mani

 

07s dont need the adapter plate

 

you can reuse the 4 port gaskets. just make sure youre careful when you remove them from the stock mani so you dont rip them.

 

sorry forgot about the 07s being different and yeah you can reuse the port gaskets i just prefer getting new ones but thats just my opinion

 

^^^x2
but be aware that you re gonna lose a good amount of low end torque after you intall the mani tha car is gonna come alive after 4000rpms

 

how much low end torque did you lose? because if you look at CED dyno charts you actually GAIN almost 10 ft/lbs but you will suffer mid range between 3500 and 4500 RPMs thats where it dives about 10 ft/lbs under stock but like you said around 4000 RPMs it does come back alive again. i m not trying to bash you i m just stating a good reference plus i want to know more about what happened when you installed your 2.4 manifold seeing as it's been to cold to install mine, plus i m waiting to order zzperformance's mid-length header/dp combo and get a custom bent exhaust before i install it that why she'll really flow

 

i have the 08 2.4 manifold which is a little bit different that the one at ced
i dont have any #'s yet im going to dyno sometime next month im trying to get a tune first but you can definetely feel the loss of torque on low rpms i have an auto which makes it even worse when i get the dyno sheet ill post it here so you can see what im talking about bottom line though is that after the 2.4 manifold and the catback the car feels so much quicker i dynoed 122whp with just a K&N SRI this time im hoping to get to 135 maybe less maybe more though i dont know

 

tune that thing !

 

cool keep us updated i haven't heard of an 08 guy running a 2.4 yet so this will be interesting

 

I noticed a little bit of low end loss, to some it might be pretty annoying, and you will also lose MPG because you have to go into the higher rpm range anytime you're climbing a hill, etc. That and the fact that you'll be on the throttle too much.

 

are you an 08 as well???

 

yea no kidding i know just trying to get the money for it

 

itll help all after the mod. im waiting for funds since im in college im not going out and drinking and what not for a month to pay for a tune since i dont have a job

 

im not an 08 i got an 07 the manifold that i got came off of an 08 2.4

 

ok sorry missunderstood you

 

no problem
i can say the 2.4 manifold is one og th best mods for us 2.2s

 

Alright guys thanks for the info.....update time.....Im a service manager so I have awsome access to cheap prices on oe gm parts from the dealers in my area so I ordered all the stock gaskets for the 2.4 mani they are now on my desk at work......and the mani is supposed to ship soon I hope from gmpartsdirect...I ordered it a day ago and it hasnt shipped yet.....Im anxious as hell!!!! Yzrider452 has it on his balt and ive driven his car and it definitely comes alive after 4grand......plus the low end power loss isnt too noticeable between his car and mine.....its there but not too bad at all..... plus I already have my foot in it all the time so I wont notice!!!!!LOL

 

Dude u know i got all ur answers, lol. When it comes to the 2.4 mani swap i did it like 6 times, so im ur man when it comes to it.

 

well everyone its in and it RIPS!!!!!! I love it.....it just pulls!!! Thanks for any and all sugestions.....

 

Whats the GM part # for just the manifold?

 

If I remember to....its stamped right on the mani....Ill try to look and post it up tomorrow or just go on gmpartsdirect.com and its on there as well.....

 

I just ordered this manifold for my 2.2, what you guys are saying that the only way im going to feel a difference is after 4000 rpms exactly what will I lose? Im just an everyday driver who likes the thrill of speed here and there so is this worth it or not?
