the 1bar map is STOCK ON YOUR CAR. you dont need to buy anything. However i had to modifiy the mounting method for the map sensor

 

duuude...you need to read what i say. The 1bar MAP from a ss/sc fits directly in the hole on the LSJ IM, unlike the one that comes stock on a 2.2/2.4 which is too small. All you need is a way to hold the lsj 1bar down and you're good. If you use the 1bar from the 2.2/2.4, you have to worry about keeping it down so tight there isnt a boost leak.

 

So, the 1 bar is what we need, and should just bolt up where the other one was. Okay.

 

Ok, I didn't mean to upset anyone. I've just got some new parts I ordered at my desk at work and I didn't want to purchase until I figured it out.

I would rather not do any cutting or splicing if not necessary, so I'll get the LSJ 1 bar map. I'll have to figure out how to hold it down... does anyone have any ways... or descriptions on what they did to hold it down?

Also, I could swear the LSJ 1 bar map looked like it had a different connector than my map, but I'll double check.

Good luck

 

Thank you!

I just looked in the service manual and the LSJ 1 bar MAP and my MAP sensor have the same connector.

So the end result is use LSJ 1 bar MAP sensor with stock connector. Thanks!!

 

So, yeah, how do you hold down the 1 Bar Map?

 

What are you doing as far as tuning?

 

An answer would be good If I could ever get an LSJ intake manifold I would try and figure it out. lol.

I see that Trifecta does the G5 for 2009. I will be contacting them.

 

I sent out the supercharger to be powdercoated today. Still looking for more parts.

 

im doing mine saturday, looks terrible with the valve cover done

 

So you have your valve cover done and not the SC?

I agree. I am going to get my valve cover done right before I tear the car apart to install the SC.

 

yeah i have a pic in my gallery, the sc is painted but it looks too dull now

 

I didn't see your painted SC in the gallery?

 

Well today the powdercoater of my supercharger sent me a quick picture as it was cooling down from being in the oven.

Here are some before pics and todays pic. The black coating may not look bad in the pics, but it was terrible, with runs and was painted while it was on the vehicle by the previous owner, so it wasn't even covering in some places. I took it all off with acetone last Sunday and shipped it out to the PC.

 

damn, was not expecting that color...very nice!

 

Hot damn that is RED!

Looks sweet!

 

Thanks guys. I chose that color because that is the color I powdercoated my calipers and also pretty much the same color as I'm having my interior trim painted.

I will be sending out the valve cover as well. Should be fun!

So just an update here.

Hunterkiller89 is a major help and I very much appreciate it.

He pointed out today in another thread about the vacuum hoses and some questions I had.

So on the LAP:

Brake booster hose goes to the intake manifold. On the LSJ the brake booster hose goes to the supercharger. So, we will need a brake booster to supercharger hose from the LSJ. I have to imagine that you could use some standard vacuum hose, but I am going the GM route as I want my car to be done with factory stuff.

On the LSJ TB that vacuum hose goes from TB to evap solenoid. The LSJ and LAP evap solenoids are the same, so all you need is that hose.

On the supercharger bypass actuator there are two nipples. The top hose goes to the small nipple on the supercharger and the bottom one gets left open on our vehicles.

My next question was going to be where to hook up the mechanical boost gauge and he was nice enough to already answer it and say that it gets hooked up to the small nipple on the LSJ intake manifold.

Also, on the LAP, all of our cars have secondary air injection, so I will be purchasing the LSJ Header and the LSJ DP to get rid of that.

Been ordering parts all weekend, lol.

 

haha you really got this thing figured out pretty well. Just an FYI, you CAN use the stock brake booster hose, as it will reach the SC. Its just gonna be tight. A slightly longer hose would be an easy fit, but (ive heard) its a pain in the ass to reach the other end of that hose where it hooks in to the brake booster

 

So do we need to purchase any vacuum hoses at all?

And whats' the deal with the LSJ 8-Pin TB? That's what I have too...

 

Thank you sir, for the info. I ordered the LSJ brake booster hose. It wasn't that expensive and we'll see what happens when I install, lol.

I purchased the TB to evap solenoid vacuum hose and the brake booster to SC hose. I don't want any surprises come install day.

From looking in the service manual, the LE5 already has the 8 pin TB connector, but the L61 does not. I ordered the connector today. It retails for $150 and I believe my price is around $85.

Oh well, I don't have a choice!

 

Gene when's your ETA on being done? Me and Rob are kinda racing, although I've pretty much already conceded defeat since he's beating me in parts about 10-fold.

 

Well, I'm looking for a June install. It is taking a while to find the last of the used parts I need. I'm not paying $200 for a tensioner, lol.

I won't win any races as I'm still trying to find parts!

 

I'm still trying to find money to find parts.
