what he said

 

This is an old thread and it needs to be said the wiring diagram provided most likely will not work on 08 2.4s.

And at last word ZZP said their 2.4 wiring harness and adapter plate didnt work for 08 2.4s either.

 

ok so it wont work.. damn it.. is there any one who has a 2008 2.4 supercharged here???
what should i do? i want to use the lsj tb because there is really significant hp with it..

 

you just have to rewire it.

 

What he said. You can just rewire it but the wiring would be different from whats been posted to my knowledge. Though ZZP may have something for the 08s now due to their sc release recently which uses the LSJ throttle body. And it shows availbility for 08s.

 

is it pointless to do a tb and injectors on a n/a setup with just a intake and exhaust or should i just wait 4 my supercharger when ever i can afford that lol

 

injectors would be pointless, you wouldn't gain anything from there since your stock injectors are not maxed out!

tb could be worth it if you have a 3'' intake; i personally have one (Rebel 3'' intake, LSJ TB + ZZP adaptor plate, full exhaust) and I like it

I had to get retuned to prevent my car from idling at 2000 RPM though

 

i think i will contact zzp and ask them if they sell the harness alone for lsj tb to le5...
bcause they have the harness when you buy the adapter for the 2.4 manifold for the lsj tb they come with the harness

 

just wait. you have to have the injectors and tb tuned anyways.

 

I just want to clarify really quick..
To swap the LSJ throttle Body for the LE5 throttle body, in

2005 and 2006 LE5 Throttle Bodies have 8 pins, and need to be converted to the 8 pins of the LSJ

whereas

2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010 LE5 Throttle Bodies have 6 pins, and need to be converted to the 8 pins of the LSJ

Is the above correct?

 

theres no le5 2005,2009,2010
the le5 tb in the 2006 and 2007 i think are 8 pin. so theres no converting.Its plug and play
the newer le5 in 2008 is a 6 pin so you will have to do rewiring.

 

Well the thing is, I'm trying to avoid buying a $39.99 wiring harness if I don't have to.. Maybe this is a stupid question, but would I just be able to cut, splice, connect the wires together, tape and insulate with vaccuum hosing?

 

No idea

 

If you are going to get into modifying VERY IMPORTANT wiring like a throttle body, map sensor, hell everything on these new cars. You need to know how to solder connections properly.

Cut wires, strip back, tin exposed wire, slide heat shrink over wire, strip wire on other side, tin, heat up both tinned wires, make sure no excessive solder exists, lightly tug on wires to verify proper joint connection, slide heat shrink over exposed joint, heat, the end. move on to next wire
