Pleneum & Spacer ?'s

[04G356MT]

Ok so im am buying a Z-Tube and Pop Charger, B&M Shortshifter for my b-day in 5 days and im looking into getting a spacer and pleneum. But I have a few questions on the last two, mainly because I have a non-rev motor and not sure if the money is worth the gain at this point. What size spacer and what pleneum should I get that will increase the power output of my non-rev...and help would be great

K well i just order my Ztube and charger, but still no response on here... i see people looking but no answers lol, i read somewhere that the 5/16 spacer and a pleneum(sp) require a ECU flash due to them leaning out.... if thats true what about just the 5/16 what kinds of gains will i see... everything i see is for the rev motor and it kinda worries me lol

I hope you ordered from EverythingG35.com and spoke with Joe

Go to their sitefor all the info. on the plenum...or check out our Modification database which will have info on this item.

i'll save you the trouble of trolling through these forums for hours. i was researching the plenum spacer, as well. i just installed the 5/16 this week. i installed my Stillen CAI about 2-3 weeks ago. anyone stop me if i'm wrong.

1. the 5/16 will get you get you more HP at higher RPM. the 1/2 spacer will get you more HP at a lower RPM but tapers off at the high end AND you'll have a little trouble closing the hood.

2. you DON'T need an ecu flash if you install just the spacer. not sure about the plenum replacement.

3. with a non-rev engine (like mine) you would only install the spacer and not the plenum replacement. the spacer will give you the HP gain but the 2 together will not. the replacement and spacer combo really only benefits the revup engines. don't ask me why.

get the motordyne 5/16 spacer. the install is fairly easy. they were not specific when it came to the bolts, though. you'll get a bunch of new ones and you have to kind of guess where some of them go.

i noticed a decent increase mainly over 4000 rpms. it makes a nice hissing sound, too. i hope it's supposed to do that. it really shines at high revs FUN!

in short, get the 5/16 spacer. don't get the replacement (mrev2).

for me, the Stillen exhaust is next. WOOHOO!

thank you, like i said after trolling all i could find was info on the rev motors.. which like you i dont have. but looks like i will be ordering my spacer very shortly. thank you again

k and last question. I went to order for EverythingG35 and its got the normal spacer and a copper and normal ISO spacer... whats the main difference, it says use the copper if it EVER snows... but isnt that everywhere lol, i live in Maryland on the eastern shore and it snows, but im orginally from TX and it occasionally snows there too lol, so yea last question then i will just order lol. what did you get?

i just got the the 5/16 basic spacer. Both the ISO thermal and copper spacers reduce heat transfer. i believe the ISO thermal spacer is better for warmer climates. the copper one is better for cooler areas.

TX - ISO thermal

MD - Copper ISO thermal

i feel the basic one is fine, though.... cheaper, too.
