yea there was a company i found tat was starting to make aluminum ones for us

 

sorry that i didnt read the entire thread but i just want to know if do i really need all the parts that says in How to supercharge 2.4L

or it can be done with main parts, i.e m62, belt, manifold, etc etc
because that a lot of parts in that list.
Again sorry i didnt read the entire thread
Thank you

 

Yes you need all of those parts lol

 

here is a vid of how the car is running....

vince from trifecta says the datalogging shows
"no vacuum in the intake manifold according to the MAP sensor"

 

busted MAP sensor then? any CELs on?

 

map sensor low voltage- cleared and didn't come back(brand new sensor, lsj map sensor(one that goes on top of the sc)
p0131- I believe was another something about the 1st bank o2 sensor

 

im not sure why, but it looks like your brand new MAP isnt working. try using the stock one (just have a friend hold it in place and start the car, then see if you still have the same issues). If the problem persists, let me know and ill try and think of other possibilities

 

I was told, that I have a boost leak somewhere. Around the map sensor, intake mani-head, or sc-intake mani. I would've looked for it today but it being mothers day I had no chance to look at it. Hopefully I'll look at it on wednesday night.

 

It's post blower pre engine

 

hey doesn't his tb look like its upside down?
and i would check the map sensor and the whole on top of the sc also.

 

if the tb were to sit opposite the way it is now, the ac lines would hit and it won't mount up. I'm gonna check everything(hole on top of sc, map sensor, and other possible areas) hopefully on wednesday night.

 

looks like its on upside down and backwards to me. It will definitely fit when oriented correctly...it has on everyone else's car...lol

The TB has a gasket in place, correct? the little rubber one? Same for the m62?

 

The throttle body is definitely on backwards! The plug should be at the bottom facing the back of the car. It will fit.

 

does it really make a difference?

 

i honestly cant even figure out how you'd mount it backwards. upsidedown i dont think would make a difference, but you never know. it doesnt hurt to just do it right anyway..lol
again, while the TB is off, make sure the robber gasket is in place

 

fine, I'll put it on the right way lol.....

 

Yes it makes a differnce...the tb won't line up right with the blower inlet...we'll figure it out dude...wait till Friday...we'll get it down to the track

 

found the boost leak, sprayed carb cleaner on alot of areas. Boost leak is from intake manifold to head. Its leaking from the sides really bad....ordered new gasket today, and gonna pick up better bolts for the intake manifold

 

hey u could use your stock bolts for the manifold but put some thick washers on there. thats wat i did. and hey do u still have ur 2.4 manifold?

 

least you finally found it man

 

I'm just gonna go buy some new ones tomorrow morning.... I already sold the manifold the day it came off lol

 

ok..... so..... I come to the idea... that some where I pissed off the car gods..... I don't know how but I did....

Anyways this is whats going on..... The intake manifold gasket I ordered on wednesday, won't be here for a while. Its on back order, called dealership this morning and he said its on back order and will probably take a while to get in.

 

im thinking you did too how long has this been going on maybe you should sell th supercharger stuff and go turbo

 

lol tell me about it... sell everything... and get the zzp stg 2 kit.

maybe the car wants to go psssssh.... instead of whining all the time

 

do it...just sell ur sc kit
