Hey folks just installed my Injen CAI (great product) and I'm starting to look elsewhere to find some more power without forced induction. The CAI is the only performance mod on my LT right now, and next on the list is a header and then Magnaflow catback exhaust, but before I buy that I wanted to know if the 2.4L throttle body and intake manifold is bolt-on compatible with the 2007 2.2L I figure I can find one in a junkyard somewhere around here. I've heard people say both it could and couldn't be done without some other work..
The ultimate goal is CAI, header, intake mani, throttle body, catback and then a tune. I just need some opinions.. Can it be done? Will my CAI still fit the intake mani? What gains should I expect to see from them? And what are some other recommendations for power gains thanks a lot guys

 

you need a tune for the throttle body to work. you can do the intake manifold tho without a tune

 

Okay so you're saying get all the other mods and install the throttle body right before the tune.. Will the 2.2L Injen CAI fit the 2.4L intake mani or is the opening larger?

 

the 2.2 cai will fit the 2.4 mani. it will raise it up a tad though. and yes if your going to put a 2.4 tb on, get all other mods and tune it all at once.

 

im taking off my 2007 2.4 intake manifold tonight because im starting to install my supercharger kit.. if you're interested PM me. $125 + shipping.. PM me with your cell and ill send you some pics later tonight

 

FYI... you can get the 2.4 IM and what you need, gaskets and seals from gmpartsdirect . com for $150 shipped to your door.

How do I know..? I ordered it yesterday.

 

or buy mine with everything u need for $125.. shipped! lol

 

125 shipped, or 125 plus shipping haha. How many miles/what condition is it in? Thanks dude

 

$125 shipped to your door, its in perfect condition, ill take a pic of it tomorrow when i take it off. id guess 10-15k miles on it. but it cant rust and isnt really voulnerable to weathering so its in excellent condition.

 

Sounds good man. Lemme see some pics when you can

 

PM me you cell #

 

soooo....did you sell this? Because I'm hopping on the 2.4l train to horsepower land

 

Hahaha yeah he sold it before I could even buy it. It's on GMPartsDirect for about $150 shipped though that's where I'm gonna get it but there's two to choose from? I guess they're just in different categories but with my luck I'd order the wrong one ha.
But anyone know how much of an install job this is? I don't wanna get it over my head but I would imagine it can't be much more difficult than installing a CAI.
Also, anyone know about how much HP gain I can expect to see with both the 2.4L intake mani AND the throttle body? Thanks guys

 

the install is pretty simple. took me about 45-60 minutes. with a few breaks. Hardest part is getting the 2.2 mani off.

 

Anything I need to keep in mind? It will come with new gaskets and seals I assume but I just don't wanna mess anything up I need to reuse haha

 

i think there's a how-to on this. Let me see if I can dig it up

 

interested to what kind of improvement this would give my o8 2.2 all i have is a intake and eventually plan to get the gmpp exhaust
