Hussy, the alloytecs have an alloy manifold like so: File:Alloytec V6 engine of a 2006 Holden VZ Commodore SVZ 01.jpg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The SIDI alloytecs have a giant plastic engine cover that wraps the whole thing.

Yeah but i was just cleaning my engine bay and a mate with a SIDI was like wtf u have the same engine bay as me :S so i started getting sus. and started googeling the different engine bays on the VEs and my one saying its the SIDI one I dont know what month i bought mine, LATE 09 tho.

Yeah my one is the secound one :S Google Image Result for http://www.carshowroom.com.au/articlephoto/550/20110428115102197.jpg

yours is the direct injection one then. Doesn't it have any badges???? Thats pretty odd...

Series 1 sidi were 3.0lt so if all else fails it should at least say that on the engine. Series 2 sidi is 3.6 though so there goes that 'solution'

 

[HussySV6]

Nope NO badges. I REALLY HOPE ITS JUST A STUPID COVER. i dont want the SIDI

So does it write it anywere in the engine bay?

Nah there were plenty of 3.6l Series 1 engines.
