Ive been lurking around here for a while looking at all the posts but i cant seem to find a straight answer.... some people are saying that the intake and tb are so similar on the 2.4 and the 2.2 LAP that there is no point in the swap while others are saying its worth it? I have a 2010 Cobalt lt xfe that i've been wanting to play with for a while and finally decided to just say forget the warranty but i dont want to do this swap if it means no gains any suggestions help......


Also this is a little off topis but if anyone has pics of some tein drop springd on theirs id love to see pics im thinkin about a set for mine Thanks

 

I think the 2.4 mani keeps the car pushing more then the 2.2.

 

do you have the swap on your LAP?

 

No I never did this but many ppl have and They have noticed some differences

 

im wondreing if tis the l61 or lap that those people are talking about though i appreciate your help though man

 

you can buy my mani & tb

(lsj)

 

the 2.4l intake manifold is the same as the lap if you want a bigger tb you have to get one from a 2008 2.4l only! its bigger then lap tb i already have it on my lap no tune required i had it on my car for about 2 weeks before i got mine tuned

i have tein lowering springs i have pics up in pictures and video in the base cobalt pic thread near the end

 

did you notice a significant gain in yours???? and can you link the thread i cant find it

 

yup but the tuning really made the biggest differene but i wouldn't get it tuned until you have mods

You will need a 6 pin throttle body

 

the 2008 2.4l tb is a 6 pin

 

well since i got ya what other reasonably priced bolt ons would you do ive been looking for headers for the LAP but cant find much and i also cant find any programmers that will wor for the LAP? just an fyi im planning for this time next year to be getting an m62 bolt on zzp stage 2 supercharger kit so im trying to build up to that lol

just asking because you mentioned doing more mods before a tune thanks

 

if youre going to do the swap then dont worry about the the TB and manifold

 

well like i said it will be a year or so til that happens and i want to play now lol like i said I'm lost in a see of parts lol so suggestions are sorta what im looking for.... performance and suspension cant thank you guys enough thsi is a great community

 

^^^^ yeah wait till then! i recommend hp tune way better then trifecta, pretty much all headers work on the lap that are avalible for cobalts, i went with gmpp extrude honed manifold with 2.5inch dp it will work good with superchaged 2.2l

 

so will the same headers that work for the l61 and or lsj work for the LAP

 

yeah
