Anyone have this? How much of a performance gain would I get?

Ecotec HO Intake Manifold Kit 2.2MMGF - Crate Engine Depot

 

It is the 2.4L ecotec intake manifold is all it is...

 

Will i get any kinda performance gain from it? And is it a direct bolt up? Will my stock 2.2 Throttle Body still bolt up to it and everything?

Is yours a direct bolt on?

what's your hp goal???

 

According to the information from when this product first came out, the 2.2 LAP already has it stock, the l61 doesn't. I could be wrong but that used to be the opinion back when I was more active here

 

No real HP goal, not looking for anything insane.... just a little get up and go.
I have the tsudo cat back, and ZZP catted downpipe already.

I'm not sure if I should do a header/exhaust manifold or intake manifold

 

better power band

 

Ours is a direct bolt up, a custom intake tube would need to be fabbed up is all.

 

well, this is basically a 2.4 intake mani as Aaron from TTR already stated. Yeah, you'll get some hp gain, but nothing extravagant. Basically there's no real need for you to swap intake manifolds in your car unless you're planning on going super/turbo charged.

 

Nothing else would need to be modified, correct? What do you mean by intake tube? My Injen wouldnt work anymore?
What kinda performance gain am I looking at by installing yours? What else would I need to purchase along with it?

That enough questions for ya? haha

 

you should also know that the 50hp gain claimed from TTR is only for those that are turbocharged.

 

This is correct, in applications of turbocharged a stock manifold VS the TTR we have noted almost a 50HP gain. Gains on normally aspirated (like the OP) will be noted in mid and top end, but not 50 HP; it will vary by other mods and if it is tuned.

 

Notice the throttle body is located on the driver side on the TTR Manifold. You would need to route a intake tube/filter to your throttle body in this location. Many have done it with little effort.

 

Dont forget he would probably need to extend his throttle body wiring and running a cold air intake wouldnt be easy or maybe not even possible due to the windshield washer bottle being on the drivers side in non LSJ cars. So hed need to run a custom short ram intake.

Not to push away ttr sales. But honestly on your car I wouldnt worry about the intake manifold. It will flow fine for normal use and will work with low to medium amounts of boost. Id concentrate on exhaust. A good header downpipe and catback. Along with a good cold air intake and a tune will give you decent gains. Outside of that then you will need forced induction either an sc setup or a turbo setup.

 

Alright, well I've already got the ZZP 2.5" catted downpipe and the Tusdo 2.5" catback that is getting installed in the next few weeks.... I have an 09 2.2L and im not sure which header to get... im not sure if i have SAI or not... how do I find that out?

 

better airflow is always a good mod, so I wouldn't say don't get an intake mani, but it's not really necessary. Also, it's not that difficult rerouting the windshield washer resevoir to the other side of the car.

 

Some have worked with the wires and have not had to extend from what we have heard.
Most will get a LSJ windshield washer tank and put it on their 2.2/2.4L (for about $50) and then use a LSJ Injen cold air intake. This is actually what most do. This is simple and would be all you would need to have this hooked up.

We also agree, an intake manifold should not be your first mod. You should first get all the other bolt ons. Then once you cannot get anymore from basic bolt ons, and want to take the next step, this would be a good option for most.

 

Since you already have a zzp downpipe then id go with probably the bad mab shorty header if you dont have SAI. Its cheap and has shown good results. Im not sure about your SAI. As Im a 2.4 guy and havent had to deal with it. If you dont have it pretty much any shorty header will work with your current setup.

 

Agreed and for higher levels of boost the TTR intake is also a good option.

 

SAI for reference can also be "turned off" by HP tuners.

 

Alright well I just looked up a thread on how to find out if i have SAI or not... and I dont have the second hose to my old air box... because I have a CAI now too... so the bad mab 2.2 header will be a direct bolt up?

 

Yes any header shorty header will.

 

Awesome, thank you so much for all of the help guys! After i get the header/downpipe/catback installed, what should my next mods be? I dont want to go the turbo or supercharged route...

 

What year do you have?

 

2009, 2.2l.. 2lt
