i need the stock exhaust manifold, the cast elbow, and a stock lnf downpipe (prefer with wideband bung)
and 42lb injectors

 

Won't bolt to other Ecotec's or so I've been told by someone who tried.

 

ive looked at the bolt pattern and it looks the same to me. let me dig out the pics and double check

 

Worth a look.

 

can you give me a clickable link? im on a cell and cant copy and paste. maven is a smart guy... but i guess he was wrong when he said the exhaust manifolds will bolt up

i hate you slowswap guess i need to find someone that can make me a manifold for my turbo. this site has so much worthless crap on it though... such as someone saying the 2.2 lap is d.i haha

 

i told you this last week.......

 

yeah well i went back to comparing pictures and they look EXACTLY the same bolt pattern wise... so looks like im facing 2 options a. sell the turbo b. custom turbo manifold

 

go custom, stop wasting your money

 

i got a killer deal on the turbo. i couldnt pass it up, brand new. but you know any company that will make a custom manifold/header that wont rape me on a price?

 

Order an LNF exhaust gasket, they are like $10. use the LNF gasket and match it up to a NON LNF header/manifold or head. You should see it lines up just fine and you can use what you got, if it doesnt your only out $10 and then youll know yourself instead of relying on heresay from threads here where they arent even talking about what yu actually want to do. Only issue you may have is if youve got SAI on your car.

 

well i dont have sai i have a 2.2 gasket laying around. but monday im off to order a gasket. hopefully it lines up.

 

vulcan turbo makes a manifold or does custom, it doesnt really matter who makes it custom is never cheap unless your making it your self.

 

ok after a little digging through gm part numbers... here is what i found.

2009 2.0
and
2009 2.2 exhaust manifold gasket part numbers ARE THE SAME. so with that said. they have to be a direct swap for the pn to be the same... right?

oh and the pn for the solstice and sky are different... so sounds like the pontiac and saturn use different heads and manifolds

 

HEY holy ****, how about that......gee, Ill bet I knew that and thats why I told you to check

 

ok now back to the beginning... i need some parts.

 

Sorry if I may have provided misinformation. It was a real life experience so I decided to post it.

 

no problem slowswap your one of my fav people on here so i took it into considerstion and looked a little more. idk what psychostevo done wrong.

 

Couldn't hurt to verify by getting the LNF exhaust manifold gasket and just test fitting. Cheap way to double check everything!

BTW, good luck. I'm very curious to see how this plays out!

 

ok i will order one tomorrow and see if it lines up or not.

 

I will sell you my stock LNF Downpipe if you need that.

 

I did a bit more digging for you and it seems as if the exhaust manifold is the same between the Sky/Solstice/Cobalt LNF. It comes back as this part number, 12602397. So if the manifolds are all the same, that could mean it might not fit.

Just posting some info I found for you.

 

haha i actually just seen that. if you get on gmpd.com and look up the manifold gaskets and look at the pics... the bolt patterns are different between the ss/tc and the solstice/gxp damn this is confusing. o dont forget to look at the gasket part numbers for the 09 2.2 and 2.0

 

Where does it list part numbers on gmpartsdirect.com?

Exhaust manifold gasket part numbers.

L61(NF4,NT7,NU1) - 12589453
LE5 - 12589453

L61(NU3) - 90537740

LNF(MU3) - 12599787

LSJ - 09230949

I unfortunately have no way to find the LAP exhaust manifold gasket part number.
