M62 isn't too difficult, almost wished I had the 4 banger just so I could do that
Oh yea, I researched the hell out of it.
One thing I found out is in 2007 GM switched to weaker rods. So ZZP is saying the 2.4 is good on stock internals up to 260whp, which is with a turbo setup pushing about 8psi.
To get 260whp with the m62 you'd have to dial up the boost to about 12psi, If the motor is only good to 260whp @ 8psi turbo'd, then pushing 12 with a SC is more likely to blow it.
So personally I'm leaning towards a turbo setup now, I'm so far set on using the Garret T3 but everything is still up in the air. I just received some good news regarding air-ride so I'm pretty tempted to just start saving allllllllll my cash to try and make that happen sooner than later.
This is an old thread but i wanted to ask you CruisinG6 where did you buy the piping for you CAI?
Its all aluminum or rubber/silicone parts from Spectre and a part of a cheapo eBay intake. The top pipe is from autozone and was cut a bit shorter. The 90 degree elbow and MAF adapter are from amazon. And the bent piece that drops the filter behind the bumper came from a $75 kit from eBay for the cobalt SS.
That $75 kit had a poorly welded MAF adapter and it dropped down to 2.5" AFTER the MAF. I wanted 3" from filter to TB. This also required a tune as a larger intake on the 4 Banger will throw a cel.
But the MAF adapter I used has an insert to bring the ID down enough for the MAF to work properly on the factory tune. I have a thread somewhere on it.

Thanks yea im planing on ordering a wams tune soon n wanted to get the tune set to the intake just looking for a good set up you kno
I hear that. Most "quality" intakes for the 2.4 are slightly smaller than mine to keep the tune closer to stock. After my intake and wams tune I was still seeing 30% fuel trim.

Since im getting the WAMS what would you say best size intake would be for it?
Just an fyi on the injen, its not carb approved yet so if you install it and have inspection you will fail. They said it should be approved sometime during the summer this year.
Yea that what im going to do just keep OEM parts n Smog time just swap. Idk if ima go Injen just becuz its not a full 3inch intake so im trying to figure out if im better off with just the injen with i think is 2.5inchs but im not sure.
My full 3" intake was running 30% fuel trims with my wams tune. Thought it was an issue but it turned out my tune needed to be tweaked.
30% trims meant it was compensating quite a bit for the extra air flow. After some tweaking I got em down closer to 0. Thing is its difficult to update the wams tune without actually being with chris.
