*Queue Jaws music*







Build starts in 3 days. Tune scheduled 14 days from now (scheduling conflicts suck). Should be prowling the streets by Halloween!

Specs:
3" Pullied M62
60 lbs/hr injectors
K&N CAI
ZZP Header and DP (catless w/ resonator)
GMPP Performance Cat-Back Exhaust
ZZP S3 H/E
Option B Reservoir, Stock IM setup (no dual pass for now)
LS4 TB
Autometer Sport-Comp Boost, Oil Pressure, and Wideband Gauges

Going for a "factory" look on the build and I hope to get around 250 or 260 whp out of everything. Eventually I'll be adding SS/TC struts, shocks, springs, and sway bar to the mix.

 

saweeeeeet

 

Nice drill bits.

Jeep looks like a beast though. Will stay tuned for your build.

 

hmm that header looks familiar, you should see almost identical whp to my old setup

but i would ditch that ls4 so fast its not even funny lol

 

Well, it should! :P

Why's that? Too touchy on the throttle?

Drill bit/tap is to plug the pesky SC MAP sensor hole...

 

get the lsj tb, the ls4 is just a hassel to work with and its not really nessicary

 

good luck with your build sub'd for final results

 

Pretty sure the ls4 tb is PnP with the 06 2.4, while the lsj tb will require a rewire/different connector? I know the 08 has a different connector than 06-07....

Nice build to the OP. Pretty identical to my setup minus the ls4 tb. Expect mid-high 13's at the track if you are a manual, and you can drive

 

Just a heads up, I have an 07 auto, and my abs wires prevented me from getting the ls4 tb on. The adapter plate pushed it out too far so the intake wouldn't go on because of the wires. You might not have the problem, but just a little heads up in case.

 

Where did you buy a single pass? Or was that an error?

 

Why dont you tap a 1/2" fitting on the end plate then you can have a dual pass

 

just a quick question, how much did you pay for all that?

 

I'm not using an adapter plate. I bored out the snout of the M62 to accept the LS4 TB. If things go south, I can order one from GMPD or the dealer 1/2 mile from my house and have it here in 3 days (I have plenty of time to do the build before I get tuned).

IIRC, the LS4 is plug-and-play with the LSJ, so I'd still have to do the rewiring of the connector, but that's not a big deal. I'm pretty handy with a solder gun.

Single pass = stock Intake manifold (i.e. no dual pass)

I thought about it, but didn't want to rip into the I.M. it's not something that would be hard to do in the future.

That's a tough question. Almost all of my parts were bought used from this site's Classified's section. With tune, hardware, and parts, my total probably comes out to about $2500.

 

Is that including the the headers, intake, and cat back? I'm tryin to find out how much it'll cost me (roughly) for the supercharger set up. Like buying all the parts used from the classified.

 

Yeah. Let me see if I can give the rundown of what I paid (overpaid on some things, underpaid on others).

CAI: $110 used
LS4 TB: $25 used
M62 w/ 3" pulley: $300 used
IM: $200 used
Injectors: $190 new
Header/DP: $250 used
Catback: $225 used
Custom Tune: $500 new
Option B Bracket: $25 new
ZZP S3 H/E: $200 new
Pulley tensioner set: $60 used
Gauge pillar: $100 used
Gauges: $380 new
Dealer-ordered items: $200 (IM Gasket, coolant surge tank, washer bottle, evap solenoid line, Stage 2 belt, Alternator bolts, IM Mount bolts)
Harware/Auto parts store items: $100 (Bolts, hoses, clamps, spark plugs)\

If you wanted to, you could cut out more than $1000 by just doing the Supercharger without all of the supporting mods (Option B, full exhaust, etc.) and going with a less expensive tune (like Trifecta) and going with used or cheaper gauges (the Autometer wideband is about $100 more expensive than the AEM).

What's nice is that you can also sell a lot of items that you take off your car to the 2.2L guys. Things to be sure not to screw up while taking off: Throttle Body, Intake Manifold, exhaust manifold, Downpipe, Cat-back, and Injectors (maybe?).

I also spent ~$200 on miscellaneous tools that I didn't have already (hex head sockets, drill tap and bit, etc.)

 

awesome! Thank you, exactly what i needed!

And you mentioned items to sell to the 2.2 guys.... what parts are you talking about? stock parts?

 

Yes stock parts. If you are a 2.4, I'm pretty sure 2.2 guys would want parts like your manifold and such.

 

Stock 2.4 parts are upgrades for 2.2 guys that are looking to do mild N/A builds. Obviously, if they're going to do S/C builds, the items we take off of our cars would be of little use to them.

 

Sweet, did not know that! Thanks!

 

stock i/m is four pass, not single pass, fyi

 

Damn you and your technicalities! Fixed.

 

lol its all good good luck on the build!

 

I get so jealous when I see another LE5 going SC, and I can't afford it.

 

This I was asking bc zzp had one on their car and i was like "holy **** its out already" bummer

 

Haha this build may just cost me double what I posted up there in shoes, dinners out, and flowers to appease the wife
