[QUOTE="Chevy Ecotec, post: 30900, member: 12158"] Hi, Bob! You're welcome. I hope the information will be helpful for anyone considering the swap. So, looking at this picture and figuring out what you will need. Forget about all the intercooler piping; none of it will work on the Equinox. Take note of the MAF housing connected to the air filter box and its location, and compare it to that of the Equinox. One could potentially use the stock airbox for the Equinox along with the ZZP LNF Cobalt Upgraded Intake Tube. [ATTACH type="full"]3508[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]3509[/ATTACH] I used the MAF Housing Assembly that was originally attached to the air filter box of the Buick and connected it to the ZZP LNF Cobalt Upgraded Intake Tube. From there, it was easy to make sure the engine was pulling air from outside the engine bay. [ATTACH type="full"]3510[/ATTACH] I mocked up the intercooler from the Buick just to see what the plumbing could look like. There's a lot of room to work with on this vehicle. [ATTACH type="full"]3511[/ATTACH] There's not a lot of room going in this side by the radiator. [ATTACH type="full"]3512[/ATTACH] Not a lot of room here either, but it can be done. [ATTACH type="full"]3513[/ATTACH] To be continued... [/QUOTE]
