2.4 intake manifold/tb on LSJ
It looks like it will fit but there is an AC hose close. I'm just wondering if anyone has bolted this manifold up.
Also do the 2.4 throtle bodies hook up to the lsj wiring and perform as stock? I have a spacer to make the lsj throttle body work but the holes aren't perfect so I will have to do some machine work. I was just wondering if the 2.4 throttle body will work.

The LSJ uses a laminov cast aluminum heat exchager manifold with a mount for the supercharger. The LE5 is a piece of plastic. Why would you even want to do that? You wouldn't be able to use the supercharger any more. Are you going turbo or something?
I guess to answer your question, yes the manifold will physically bolt on just fine. I can't be sure about the TB, but I bet it wouldn't be hard.

umm... why would you want a 2.4 manifold? is it actually bigger? and i thot that a h/e or one of your cooling mods ran thru the IM? (im not too educated on lsj's so dont laugh if that was a retarded thot)
if i typed faster i woulda already read that post bout the h/e

My guess is he is looking for a cheaper alternative to the Hahn manifold.

Yes the supercharger is gone. That's not an issue. Design wise the 2.4 manifold is actually very good. I was really wondering weather anyone has done this before and if it would have clearance it the LSJ motor. I know it will physically bolt up but I'm not sure if it will clear a specific AC line.
You got it. The TB placement is better for me too.

If it just a AC line you are worried about, remove it and make a new one that fits. You obviously are going to have to discharge your AC system to do that, but for the amount of money you are going to spend on the turbo, who cares.

The line is a hard aluminum line connected to a bracket so I am really reluctant to mess with it. I guess I will find out if I'm the only one.

X2 I see the pics and thanks for the info but I was sure it would bolt up I was just worried about clearance. Now you got me all worried if it will even bolt up. I Don't know how the LSJ intake manifold fits on the 22 and 24 then.

YYou cant put an NA ECO manifold onto an LSJ head because they dont cover the crankcase ventilation port in the LSJ head, which means youll blow oil all over you engine bay.
You can put an LSJ manifolde onto an NA head because the LSJ head covers the crankcase ventilation port so theres no oil to blow around(you just have to modify the intake gasket so the NA heads little ventialion port can vent to the LSJs spot.)
These holes are the PCV system.

Back from the dead....
You can tap that port and put a fitting and tube on it and send that into the intake mani. I just picked up and LK9 intake manifold. With a little modification to the throttle body and spacer the inlet on the manifold it should be the perfect solution. It was cheap too, less than 150 with a gasket from the dealer. That cheaper than what most 2.4 mani's go for.
