probably its not that difficult. But im not sure if you'd be able to make it to the tuning place with those items in and no tune.

 

Or I could park it in in their parking lot and drive 20 feet to the dyno.

 

that too

 

Before I do this, honestly, does anyone think I will see any REAL gains similar to a CAI or catback or even better? I don't wanna throw on a TB and injectors and make a whopping 5hp. 10 will work for me though.

 

what engine do you have? 2.2? 2.4? ill tell you right now...injectors dont create more horsepwer, they enable you to provide the fuel to generate the HP though, so your only real mod is the TB...on the 2.2, your not gonna see much of a gain...on a 2.4, maybe a little, but i cant pick a number for you. youll probably lose a little low end, and gain more than yu ost in high end

 

2.4l Ss

 

Do you already have a tune or no? If not then the tune alone will net you 10hp, they will just have to do a little more work due to the different injector size.

 

im surprised a company hasnt come out with tb upgrades for us beyond a stock ss/sc tb.

 

the only thing i remember seeing was a ported TB a while back. cant even remember who did it.

 

^^^SMS has one

 

i doubt that it would even run.

 

I should try, and if it blows up the engine I'll take the tb and injectors off. Then take it to the dealership where my friend works at and have them warranty it

 

I already have the tune and got 10hp from it.

 

i dont think TBs are a weakpoint in the 2.4 unless your making a decent amount of power, at which point a 2.0 TB would be adequate...if you need larger than that...rebelautoworx sells a 75mm truck TB...or maybe it was a truck TB adaptor plate...something like that
its in the 2.0 section somewhere

 

i would have to say im making a decent ammount of power so in the future I would like to know exactly what works so i can do it. I feel like the car is still choking and could use a better intake manifold and TB as well as a 2.5-3inch high flow cat to help the airflow.

 

hah...well, your a rare case. idk if anyone makes intake manifolds for us...might have to go custom there. id go 3 in exhaust, and ceramic coat your header if it isnt already

 

well I know hahnracecraft has an intake manifold for me but its a crazy price. Throttle body I'd like bigger than an lsj's.

 

just get an edelbrock 750

 

again, go with the 75mm adaptor that rebelautoworx makes for the 75mmTB off of a bunch of GM trucks.

 

when i throw on my 60's and 3.0 i'll also be tuning for the new TB, should show some nice gains im hoping.

 

hey I found that intake but how much did they quote you for it? also, I wonder how much HP you'd lose on the bottom end of things going with a custom fabbed one? not necessarily the hahn one, but something better than the stock plastic crap.

 

subscribing for further interest.

 

regarding the wiring on zzp website they sell the plate and the adapter harness, if i buy this i wont need to redo the wiring..????

 

so..... I've never gotten a straight answer for this.... I'm still using my stock tb(le5), if I upgrade to a lsj tb will I see a significant amount of gains? ***I'm sc'ed***

 

if ur sc'd the lsj tb should have been used
