Bolting the map is solo east took e 2 mins to do it, and I have the twist on style

 

How did you bolt yours on? I ordered the bracket for the one that holds the sensor to the supercharger. I believe I can modify it.

 

Used a straight piece of aluminum and bolted it down and the aluminum acts as a bracket holding the map down

 

Ahh I understand now. I ordered the bracket that fits it to the SC. I think I can modify it to fit the intake.

 

Got my ZZP triple gauge pod in yesterday. I'm not convinced that it is exactly like the stock pillar. The color is off a little bit. Everyone says it is an exact match?

 

I never liked tan colored pillars, mine r black, is it way off? Or a tad bit

 

It could be a Cobalt vs G5 type of thing, but most of stuff like that is the same color. My pillar has more of a grayish color tone and this one has a tanish color tone.

I am contemplating painting the pillars the same as my dash trim that I just got done.

 

I thought the 1Bar MAP just fit in...

 

I looked up the Cobalt pillar out of curiousity and it is the same part number as mine so the ZZP pillar is just not an exact match, as they proclaim.

The LSJ 1 bar map does not just sit in the LSJ intake manifold. The LSJ 2.5 bar map has a hole in it to screw it down to the manifold. The 1 bar map does not and the pressure would blow it right off the manifold as soon as you start the car.

I received the bracket for the map that holds it to the supercharger on Friday. It looks like I'll be able to easily modify it to work on the LSJ intake manifold. I will post pics when I get to messing around with it this week.

The powerdercoater sent me a picture of my new valve cover. I can't wait to get all of this stuff on!

 

Good luck I think I posted how get the map to stay on, it should be in my thread somewhere, I posted pics of stock map being used in my lsj manifold

 

i really cant wait for pics of your completed engine bay. I considered doing the black/red engine bay theme myself for a long time. Gave up on it though... Im just running a black valve cover for now

 

Jn2: I read your thread like 10 times, from front to back, lol and I didn't see it, but I could be wrong. I am going to go out to the garage and work on that MAP sensor issue in a few.

Hunter: Thanks. I can't wait to see my engine bay either. I got the valvecover today, to finally see in person. It is a work of art. I think my engine bay is going to look pretty cool.

Ok.. so for an update, I got my interceptor yesterday, but it is the wrong one. I ordered the CN type and they sent me the PT type.

Ordered the last of the bolts I needed from boltdepot.com (thanks to all).

Got the NGK spark plugs in the mail.

Got some new gaskets to go with my new valve cover.

That should be it for now!

 

so what bolts did you end up ordering in the end?

 

there u go...i cut a hoseopen, than layed it flat, drilled a small hole so the MAP nipple could fit thru, than sat the MAP on the manifold, used a straight piece of aluminum as a bracket, and ran the bolt to hold it down, works fine, the hose i cut up acts like a gasket when pressed down on the manifold

 

I think I finished up my bolts today. I'll show you what I've ordered for myself.

Thanks for the photo. I worked on mine last night and the SCIP sensor bracket worked with some modification. I didn't finish it yet, but I will post pics. I was wondering about making some type of gasket or seal today... and your idea sounds great. I will have to work on that as well.

 

You, my friend, are awesome!

That is definitely the most complete list of parts I've seen yet!

Especially the bolts!!!

Let us know if you update the list!

 

Great thread subb'd to keep track of this build.

 

LOL I sent MP81 my whole parts list. Needless to say it is pretty complete and the most complete list on the internet. I will be posting the whole thing when I'm finished.

Here is the bolt that I didn't have an answer for last night.

LSJ Idler Pulley To Alternator Bracket
M8 x 1.25 x 25

 

One question before i start throwing money to the wind. how much did you spend on this build? So i can get an estimate on how much im going to need before i get started bc i like to do it all at once rather than a bit at a time.

 

Figure 2 grand.

 

if you have a 2.4 (gt) then why you saying lap? the lap is the newer 2.2 from the non gt version

 

Right now I'm at $2481.70, but there are a few reasons for that. I bought about $500 in gauges, $89 for a triple gauge pillar.

I am doing the washer bottle conversion so the new washer hose and washer bottle is in there.

Since I have the LAP it has secondary air injection, so I have to put a header on it.. so I decided to buy an LSJ header and LSJ downpipe, so that is another $150 or so.

Also, you can use your stock brake booster hose with some trouble, etc, but I bought the one from the LSJ since I didn't want to mess around.

So, without gauges and all I would say $2000 should be good.... but I powdercoated the supercharger, valve cover, etc so my cost is going to be close to $3000 after tune.

Mine is a 2009 GT bud. In 2009 they killed the 2.4 engine and I am stuck with the new LAP 2.2... thus why I'm here and doing this project.

 

so then its not a gt eh???

 

yeah I'm at 2g's if you throw the tune in there...without I'm about $1700 in parts.

damn thats quite a list of bolts there...I dont think I got any with the parts I bought either so sounds like I'm gonna need them all! hopefully I can avoid getting them from the dealership though!

 

No hes a Gt. 2008 was the last year for the 2.4 LE5. 2009 Gt's have the LAP.
