2G throttle elbow vs. 1G

[red91GSX]

hey i was under the imnpression that a 2G tb elbow was almost 2.25" vs the 1G elbow of 1.5"
is this true - i called SATAN to see how much an oem elbow for a 2G was and he asked for what car - i told him '95 - '99 - then a momoent later he says - wait it doesn't matter they're the same part.

what's the truth in this matter? i wanna upgrade my intake and that's gonna be my stepping stone to a 2.5" intake pipe

help!

I think the guy meant 95 through 99 are all the same part. I got my 2G elbow from a dealership. Just order a 95 elbow and it will be the one you want. Yes, it is much bigger than the 1G elbow.

Yeah the elbow is bigger on the 2G's. But the Throttle Body and Intake manifold is bigger on the 1G than 2G, as is the Head. And the Exhaust manifold on the 2G is better than a 1G. The MAF on's 2G are better than 1G. 14B flow more than T25's. etc.cc I figure i would post these just incase you was intersested.

because the 2g elbow WILL NOT fit the 1g rubber pipe, you need to upgrage your upper intercooler pipe at the same time.

he makes a nice one, and his own elbow. It is even bigger than a 2g piece.

have fun
