nice write up maven, deffinately will be using this when i get mine, i have two little snags, should i buy the mani kit from Crateenginedepot it will be 250 bucks and some change and all neccessary hardware will come with it, i found the H/O mani from zzp for alot cheaper around 160.00, im pretty sure its the exact same kit but it seems like it doesnt come with all the extra stuff ill need, does anyone know if the zzp comes with all the neccessary hardware for me to install on my 07'?? sry for the long post lol

 

nobody?? anyone??

 

buy it, find out, then you tell us

 

you dont need the adapter plate that comes with the CED kit for an 07. Only the 05/06 cars use it. So the ZZP kit might be a great deal. You just need the gaskets.

 

ok thanx guys looks like ill be getting the zzp one cheaper and hope for the best, let you guys know how that works out

 

Question: Idk if any one asked this but what does this do for the 2.2L, also do all the gaskets and stuff come with it so you dont have to buy from GM, thanx

Mike

 

Well what do you think? Now you have a 2.4 manifold instead of a 2.2 = more power, but less torque at lower rpms

 

i just got the zzp kit but i diddnt order the gaskets with it, all my original seals worked fine but i noticed AFTER i put it on on that i diddnt have the crankcase passage seal, started it up and it ran bad, so is the CPS absoblutely neccessary??

 

hellooo?? somebodys gotta kno

the cars not running and i have places to go, is the crankshaft passage seal a solid gasket where i can just plug the hole and go without till monday or does it have holes in the gasket seal?

 

just kinda wondering how much this entire 'kit' costs?

 

its got a tiny little hole in the center of it you really need the one for the 2.4 manifold.

 

does this work on 09 2.2l???

Well I have an '05 so I will need the adapter plate but there's no way that piece alone is worth the extra $80 at CED vs. ZZP. Does anyone know where to find this adapter plate? Is this it?

sub'd, great writeup

 

I am installing my 2.4l intake mani now. I am having a hard time removing the brake booster hose. The how-to states to remove the brake booster hose from the "power brake booster". I suppose the power brake booster is when the brake booster hose ends (in the firewall?). I tried pulling the hose in a downward motion after removing the black clip lock but it isn't coming off whatsover. Any suggestions?

 

Anyone?

 

any help on this??

 

I got the 2.4 intake and the gaskets with it. the crankcase passage seal did not come with it. Do you know the part number or where i can fine one?

 

Same Problem Here.
Bought mine from ZZP-Performance got extra seals/Gaskets except for the crankcase one & now my car sounds like I have the "HORN" pressed down so I'm Making my own with a peace of rubber tubing.

 

The odd looking seal between ports 2 and 3 is called a 'PCV SEAL'. PART# 12589516 at $9.46

 

does this work on 09 G5 GT?

 

isn't the g5 GT a 2.4?

 

do i need to order the 06-07 manifold or the 08+ one?

they are different prices on crateenginedepot

 

bump

if i get the zzp kit do i need to get the gaskets or can i reuse mine???

 

will one from on 08 work on an 07?
