Hi everyone has been over a year since I have been here. Just pulled the cobalt out for the spring.(I park my car all winter, it's a 2010 2.2l with all the options) I have been looking into some intake upgrades. Now to my understanding a 2.4 intake manifold/MAF Will bolt right up to my motor correct? Basically my car is super slow but i wouldn't mind some easy bolt on upgrades.

 

A LAP 2.2 has the 2.4 manifold already. I got a 2.4 throttle, injen cai, and zzp shorty header with full exhaust. It pulls alright, but want fast so got me a supercharger. I did 15.8 1/4 with that and I only ran once so could have gotten a better reaction time.

 

15.8 is not bad. Do you have the 2.4 MAF as with the 2.4 TB?

 

Keep your MAF

 

15.8 on the blower setup?

 

keep my MAF? lol do i have an option, due to the fact its regulation air flow. Im just asking if there is a bigger MM MAF then my OEM one currently installed. For example, is a 2.4L MAF bigger than mine? meaning if it is bigger will it allow more airflow, or even a 2.0L SS MAF would be nice too. As long as i could install it and reset my computer and the MAF calibrates ok with my air/fuel ratio. ]

Also, isnt the MAF part of the air box housing? if so how are ppl doing CAI lol

 

It is a small thing that unbolts not some big thingy majig.

 

No I have stock MAF.. saw no reason to change it lol. But no, not 15.8 on blower setup. Haven't installed my supercharger. I did that with the zzp header, magnaflow exhaust, injen intake, 2.4 throttle.

 

when I had my lap I put the older style 2.4l intake manifold and I noticed I had more top end power and when I swapped the stock manifold back on (09 and up lap and 09 le5 and up share the same manifold) I noticed I had better low end power so if you want better top end for your lap put older style 2.4 manifold on

 

The amount of air you are flowing I do not believe a bigger MAF will help you.

Most noticeable gains will be from a short ram/true cold air intake (into the fender), and a header/exhaust setup.

Also... FI will be the biggest gain.

 

Listen to this guy lol, go turbo or supercharger and you will never want to go back

 

to make your own intake (to replace the large plastic bellow) what angle bends are needed?

I already figured out the TB is 2.75" and the maf outlet is 3"

 

I have an injen cold air intake for sell pm me if interested
