intake manifold

[mattspyder]

i got a 99 eclipse gst, looking to upgrade to a 1g intake manifold, will the JDM cyclone intake manifold work for mine, i believe it came off a 91tsi.

I have no clue about the cyclone. Although I feel that it would be a pretty stupid thing to do.

The 1st generation intake mani has very large ports to match the 1g head. It will not bolt up to your head.

Remember, you also have to buy the chip that controls the Cyclone intake.

yea, whats wrong with just finding a stock 1g intake manifold? (hint, i got one for sale for 75 shipped... )

well thats all im trying to do is get a 1g intake manifold, those will bolt up to my 2g head right?

While yes, it will bolt right up, the ports in a 1g intake are MUCH larger than the intake ports on your 2g head. I have a 1g intake on my 2g head. I had to port the head's intake ports to match the intake.

IF YOU DO NOT PORT THE HEAD AND JUST BOLT ON THE INTAKE, YOUR CAR WILL RUN MUCH WORSE THAN JUST LEAVING IT ALONE.

Here's a picture of my 2g head with a 1g intake gasket, so you can see the huge difference in sizes. That's how much metal I had to cut out to make it work.
