Does anybody know any other dealers aside from Crate Engine Depot that carry this kit or the dealership? Like and online dealer? Any help will be greatly appreciated!!

 

gm dealership

 

cant you find a junker and take one off? u still goin turbo?

 

yeah i'm still going turbo but i want to go ahead and do a manifold swap until i start doing the turbo build...i decided to hold off on the turbo build until i build up the engine....

 

I think you can get the manifold for pretty cheap from GMpartsdirect

 

yeah...but they take forever to ship even though they are literally right up the road from me...and they don't give tracking numbers....i'm looking really for a specific dealer that takes a specific credit card solely for car parts....

 

Yu can't just walk over there and tell them to pull one out of their stock?

 

Problem solved....just ordered!! W00t! can't wait to put that puppy on!!

 

Post up numbers when you get it on.

 

where from?

i checked gmpartsdirect before and couldnt find one

 

whred u find it?is it the whole kit, or just the manifold, cuz u need the adapter plate dont you

 

You need more than just the manifold. Adapter plate, 6 gaskets, little plate that clips into the intake, brake booster cable, intructions, lol. good luck, its a good mod. my car LOVES it, lol.

 

YzRider452, how does ur SS sc downpipe compare to stock? In ur opinion, would that or another dp sound better?

 

I did this with no instructions. It's not that bad if you aren't completely dumb.

 

i just bought the manifold....i can make the adapter plate and other stuff like that....but i'm also going to port and polish my throttle bottle for smoother air flow...brake booster lines are easy to make...gaskets are easy to make...just get some gasket material....but then again....i could just order the 2.4 throttle body and it will be problem solved....increased air flow for both....

i also plan on ordering a new head or pulling one from the junk yard and having it machined for higher compression and then porting and polishing the intake and exhaust ports then having the valve seats machined (3 angle)....and if i have enough money then i'll get some cams with adjustable cam gears, new valve train, pistons, rings, wrist pins, and rods....after i do that then i'll put my snail on....(right now it's just sitting in my house looking pretty...:-( )

 

You can't tune for the 2.4 TB though.

Unless maybe you go through those guys from WA.

 

i shouldn't need a tune in theory because the drivers for the electronic butterfly valve are basically the same....the MAF should pick up the little bit of more air flow and compensate for that....but then again it's just based on theory....and i'll test...you know...trial and error until i get it right....

but i do plan on getting the AEM F/IC and putting larger injectors in and a new exhaust in soon after i put the manifold on....

 

Theres a little plate that goes into the manifold that you need. if anything u shud altleast buy that.

 

The guy that was the test pilot for the 2.4 manifold tried the 2.4 TB a while back and said that the computer didn't like it.

 

Yeah he's right, when they put the bigger TB on the cobalt SS/SC's they had to up the TB surface area scalar in HP Tuners
