2.4 manifold $250 new full kit ced
Header up to $500 for a brand new one
exhaust/downpipe same as a header
2.4 $250 new gm parts direct
tune $300

I'd suggest cams to if you are an 05-06

Will Kravick

How come? I believe cams are out of my automechanic abilities so ill have to pay for it to get done.

Skip to LSJ TB instead of 2.4.

Otherwise list looks good.

Will Kravick

Easy convert?

You have 6 or 8 pin connector for you TB?

You would need the adapter plate from ZZP which comes with a rewire connection if you have 8 pin connection already

Yeah put that on instead of the 2.4, tune for the LSJ instead of the 2.4. BAM! Conversion complete

This is what a comparison looks like 2.2 vs LSJ TBs

BankerBalt

List is good, do you plan on any suspension? And redcobalt... He can get a good set up for less than that...

Will Kravick

Yeah after performance parts. Maybe sway bars. I didnt notice a difference in the tb lmao. Point it out for me?

Huge size difference.

Will Kravick

Oh next to the intake? Yeah i see it. Why is the lsj, which is for a 2.0 so much bigger?

BankerBalt

Because the 2.0 is boosted which means it needs a lot more air to flow into the engine

I know, I'm saying that is the max price he should pay for that stuff.

**** I spent $70 on my 2.4 Throttle Body on ebay. I spent $100 on the 2.4 intake manifold, $100 on a used catted ZZP downpipe, BadMab header was $190 and a local exhaust shop quoted $300 for an exhaust with a Magnaflow muffler.

I don't think an LSJ throttle body is necessary. Plus his intake will not fit the LSJ throttle body. The 2.4 and 2.2 have the same diameter inlet so he can recycle the intake.

All you need is a 3" 90 coupler
