Q on s/c kit
hey glen what u got so far??? i got most of it well i wont get it till march but i still need 2.5 map/intake temp sensor and i need that pigtail and i need the intercooler pump and injector harness i need to find one of those lol and info u can give me where and how much this stuff is??
good luck all. feel free to ask me any questions
well...it depends. You do if you want to swap in the IAT2 sensor readings for the stock IAT1 readings. But the way Vince tuned mine he just tuned via MAF and left IAT2 unknown. Really it depends i guess. it will work easier on a 2.4 tho, since u guys have HPT and a better ECU, so yea, go ahead and get the pigtail. for any 2.2's though, don't bother with it.
I don't get the purpose though, how is the ECU going to know to pick up IAT2 temps if it doesn't read them normally?
the only reason I can see getting it would be to read additional boost but even that can be avoided with an MAF based tune.
i think some parts can be cut out of both the 2.2/2.4 guides as far as parts needed so you don't necessarily need to follow everything to a T if you know what you're looking for...
also slightly off topic but there is no way to limit boost in the lower gears on the 2.2/2.4 like there is on the LSJ is there?

what should be cut from the 2.2 guide btw?
and no, theres no way to limit boost....you shouldnt need to tho...just work the throttle a bit
im confident i can out-launch any LSJ thats still running a M62
there are just other routes you could go IMO parts wise...
like instead of using the tensioner/idler pulley setup from the LSJ, just get the smooth alt pulley from Speed Mafia and run a larger 5 rib belt
also you could probably go another route injector wise and either find injectors that use stock connectors (EV6) or get adapters...will save yourself some wiring.
those would be the biggest differences, aside from your TB, HE and hose choices...
