i have checked many z forums and they all seem to have no issues and many good things to say about it.

Thanks

i'm not sure which forums you are reading but that plenum is all show no go.

Dont get me wrong, it is a beautiful piece of machinery, it just produces the same horsepower as a $225 Motordyne spacer. If you want to pay the extra 5-$600 for the additional bling, then power to you, but if your looking for performance your waisting the extra money.

Just my .02

 

and thats what i have heard from a few people as well. im not in it for bling at all.
i will be doing exhaust and intake for now, just to get some good flow and better sound.

so if i do the plenum spacer, would Skunk2 be ok? or stick with motordyne?

Thanx for the response!!

 

Forget about that plenum, its a overpriced bling item that adds no horsepower.

You have a regular DE Z non-revup. 5/16 Motordyne spacer, Testpipes, Pop-charger, Exhaust, Headers, Tune and Gears. Thats the hottest setup for your car. Dont do anything else, these are the only mods that really make power on a NA DE Z.

ALSO NO OTHER BRAND SPACERS!! No skunk2, No AAM, No blox. Just Motordyne, its the only spacer that makes power, others allow to much air, the 5/16 is proven.

My 04.5 made 282Hp 262Tq with the mods listed above exactly.

 

i would stay away from Skunk2 just for the fact you will have clearance issues. Gaurunteed you wont be able to your strut bar with it.

I have Motordyne ISO spacer with the CCV valve. I have absolutely no complaints. Took me about 3 hours to install from start to finish. Honestly it was one of my last mods so i didn't notice a whole lot of difference.

(intake, spacer, headers, HFCs, Full exhaust)

I'll tell you though the ISO spacer and the CCV vavle make a noticeable difference bye far. It keeps the plenum so cool you can rest your hand on it when your car has been running for however long. Fully warmed car with a lukewarm plenum cooling down intake air temperatures. Not that does a whole lot, but it doesn't hurt.

You can talk to Tony which is the engineer/owner of Motordyne on www.my350z.com Hes really helpful and very timely with his responses.

I have also have a write i did on the install if you want i'll post it, let me know?

Let us know how things go.

 

I'd like to hear what you guys think about manifolds/spacers for a Rev-Up (05 track) car. IIRC, the Rev-Up motor has a smaller plenum than the standard DE, and just going to a DE manifold adds power.

 

Wrong. Only plenum mods for rev-up that make power in the midrange..mainley tork is the MREV2 (modified DE lower plenum) and the 5/16 spacer used together.

Putting the spacer on by itself has Zero performance benefits on the Rev-Up motor, MREV2 and spacer MUST be used together .

The Rev-Up Plenum has runners tuned for topend Hp. The DE lower plenum has long runners tuned for more low end tork. Putting on a DE lower plenum will robb you of HP and add no tork.

Please guys read this link and all your questions will be answered. The 350Z is a VERY pickey car when it comes to mods. There is really no NA bolt-ons that are going to get u more REAL power, they will mainley only Free-up the power u already have and make the car run like a 300hp car should. With full boltons you will be lucky to see a 25hp difference. Getting the car ReFlashed is probably the most performance increasing mod that can be done to the car. Little things such as 100% throttle below 30mph will be allowed. Nissan programmed alot of the throttle restrictions so the car would be safe for a old lady to drive. A RWD car with 300Hp and almost matching tork can kill. People arent aware that there basically buying a smaller Corvette.

((My 04.5 made 282Hp 262Tq with the mods listed above exactly.))
