Gen 1 or Gen 2

How do i tell if i have a gen 1 or gen 2

 

[mookie]

Gen 1 is years 2001-2005.

Gen 2 is 2007 and up (there was no 2006 model year).

Here is a picture of an 2001 Job 1 Engine bay.

Hopefully someone will post the Job 2

The Cover over the engine is different. and the oil dipstick is on the oposite side. If I am not mistaken.



Hope this helps

You're spot on Sal...Here's the job 2 :

OK Great so now i know i have a job 2. Is there a performance difference?

 

[Justin Tingkang]

I have an 05 but engine bay looks like the job 2 picture.

I thought I understood the differences.

Now I am totally confused.

The job 1 or 2 difference primarily applies to year 2001 only. If you have a year 2002 to 2005, it would be a job 2. I believe there may also be a job 3 as well but that I think is very minor and not usually considered.



If you noticed on the above pictures, the oil pan dip stick is on the passenger side on a job 1 and on the drivers side on a job 2. That is my quick and easy way to determine which it is.

Only if you get the Zabteck Throttle Body.



If you had a Job one you could get a bored out TB and increse the flow more thenthe plastic one on the Job 2



There might be a few other differences.. but not much



ANyone else have anything, Please chime in.

 

[Kevin Lang]

I thought ZT's new throttle body for job 2 exceeded or at least met that of their modified metal body?

 

[Sal Adinolfi]

the Metal one is just a little bit larger I believe..



Todd, you know a little more on that then me...

 

[Dallas Starr]

hahahaha.... told you it was confusing.... hahaha...

Nope. I have a Job 1 and the engine oil dip stick is on the driver side (as sitting in the deriver seat). You can see it there in the first picture - it's the small black rectangular handle, to the left of the brake master cylinder, with yellow lettering ("ENGINE OIL").



On a Job 1, the engine oil fill hole is on the driver side valve cover, but for the Job 2 it is on the passenger side (as sitting in the deriver seat).
