BAH! the gen 2 motors manifolds fit in the engine bay perfectly fine, how do i know? my bonnet is currently closed! i have posted this info numerous times.
Alliance, you have a gen 1 ecu. the only gen 2 stuff in your engine bay is the long motor (block and head of motor). You have the gen 1 manifold and what not because it means you dont have to change the ecu, or wire up a different wiring loom to your chassis.
YOU CAN put on the gen 2 manifolds, however, it means you also need the wiring loom and ecu from the gen 2, which also means youll require full scale engine conversion rewiring. You cannot run the gen 2 manifolds etc off your existing wiring, you cannot install a gen 2 ecu.
Its not that the gen 2 manifolds cant be done, its just that if you really hook into it if you use the gen 1 gear you could easily do the 'conversion' in a weekend as opposed to the hassles of a full on engine conversion.
questions concerning differences in intakes, T-vis aids low end torque, gen 2 manifolds use a similar butterfly system but the butterflys open access to a second plenum chamber at the top end which is better for top end power, in theory gen 2 with gen 1 manifolds will make a nice torque curve down low but struggle more up top, but the gen 2 mainfold with its much fatter intake runners and variable plenum which opens up to double capacity up top is more of a top end power producer.
anything else?
