Yes you can. Just swap the top part over, it's been dyno tested to give more power.

iirc the whole thing flows better, not just the top part. i could be wrong though.

Hey Jon, Naprotejay tested a full hybrid out AFAIK. Full 1st gen, 1st top, 2nd bottom...1st bottom, 2nd top...full 2nd....ect.
Its just the top part sits an inch taller. BUT you never know man, could have been no issues in the 2nd gens cast marks...because i know the manifold i've been working on is horrible!

i think ryan told me that the 2nd gen manifold is better all around, when i was talking to him about cut manifolds (back before i bought my GTR )Escort GTR -- 11.87 @ 117.6 mph -- 320 HP / 325 Ft. Lbs. @ 23 PSI

yes its a direct bolt-on, but requires modifications to make everything work.
Originally posted by Kevin_MX-3 View PostDo I have to do any modifications to be able to use the second gen. intake manifold?
1) Fit the 1st gen TB to the 2nd gen DC. The TB bolt hole locations are different, and a 2nd gen TB will not work with the 1st gen ECU.
So you need to figure out a way to mount the 1st gen TB to the 2nd gen DC. There are several ways you could go about doing this.
Depending on how you do it, you'll also have to remove some material / fill some areas on the TB and DC. Also, since the air valve is deleted, the coolant lines to and from the 1st gen TB need to be routed correctly.
2) Plug the EGR hole on the bottom of the 2nd gen DC.
3) Extend/route the PCV hose to the port next to the TB on the back of the 2nd gen DC - OR add a port to the front of the 2nd gen DC, same as 1st gen DC.
That IIRC is the main issues in using/installing the 2nd gen DC.Original owner: 1991 Protege LX (now w/SOHC) and a few more BG's ....

its a few whp 2 i believe? unmodified.... if you modify the 2nd gen one you can see up to 5whp considering; a 1st gen cut manifold shows 3whp gains. ( you just have to know where & how to modify it)---Has ClubProtege helped you in someway? show your support by Contributing--- Click Here---

^ its not specific to only 1st gen manifolds, it can be modified similar on a 2nd gen manifold as well.
it provides more flow for VICS operation/smooths out the powerband/ & increases the powerband/TQ band. its HP gains are minimal compared to what it does for the drivability of a BP---Has ClubProtege helped you in someway? show your support by Contributing--- Click Here---
