Couldnt find much information on it, was curious if anyone has ever used a saab LK9 intake manifold as an upgraded mani on a 2.4 LE5 before? This is the manifold in question. I know its a direct bolt up to an LSJ.

 

Yes I use it, don't use it for an NA application tho it wouldn't work well.

 

Ah ok, good gains though with your turbo setup?

 

Its not really gaining anything. Its more reliable than the plastic intake.

A good turbo intake would be a sheet metal one but the LK9 isnt bad.

 

It gains a good amount of top end compared to the 2.4 manifold, the runners are about 5 inches shorter than the 2.4 manifold and the plenum is bigger. When I switched I could see a noticeable difference in ve airflow at the same boost/spark level.

With exception to TTR's LNF smi I haven't seen a manifold that looks like it can flow well.

 

Quick question, might be redundant but, will it be a direct bolt on to the le5? or any modification needs to be done?
also
do you have the part number for the lk9 intake manifold? i have been looking into that for a while but with no luck

 

So buy this if you're using an M62?

 

^No

 

Definitely no
