How To: Installing the 2.4 IM on Cable Driven TB CARS!!!
So Been on here for a lil while and noticed this wasn't on here but it is indeed possible to install the 2.4 Intake manifold on a cable driven tb car. you just need to have a grinder, a cut off wheel and a steady hand
Tb needs some grinding into the meat of the casting right under where the IAC sensor is positioned. This is to allow clearance for the bolt that is provided in the kit from CED. Now many ppl have stated that it is ok to leave the bolt out and that it reads just fine. Imo if its as easy as a lil grinding might as well do it right. Right? Not like its the top trans bolt in a 350 swapped s10. The bolt that comes with the CED kit also needs to have the head cut off a little bit for the tb to be able to sit over it. And the most important part, a slit must be cut in the plate and the paper gasket provided by CED for the IAC sensor to read!!!!!!!!
If you have any high idle problems check to make sure you clearanced enough out of the tb and the bolt head to make sure that the tb is in fact sitting flat. Second Make sure you use RTV on the Adapter plate surface and the bottom of the TB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This has been on my car for well over 2 years now so it will work!!!!!
Portion of the tb that must be ground
why it needs to be ground
bolt head that needs to be ground down ~1/4 inch
slot that needs to be cut in both the gasket and the adapter plate (NOTE THIS IS JUST A ROUGH IDEA NOT EXACT I DIDN'T FEEL LIKE RIPPING APART THE CAR AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

CUT THE SLIT IN REGARDS TO THE OPENING ON THE IM AND NOT I REPEAT NOT THE OPENING ON THE UNDERSIDE OF THE TB.
As always I am not responsible for you cutting corners that may wind up in you blowing your car up.
