MREV 2 Manifold:

The Motordyne MREV 2 Manifold is high-torque plenum mod designed for use on any VQ engine.

When used with a 5/16" spacer on the REVUP engine, every test to date shows MREV 2 Manifold will add a "minimum" of 15+ HP and 18+ TQ at 4500 RPM. MREV 2 Manifold is easily the single most effective bolt on modification available for the REVUP VQ engine.

When used with on the non-REVUP engine, the gains are very similar to that of the 5/16" spacer but the MREV 2 Manifold will show a slightly lower peak value, with a slightly higher average value and a slightly higher TQ value. Overall, MREV 2 Manifold provides "area under the curve" and is the highest gain plenum mod available.

Now before anyone starts saying: "isn't that only for the "G" and "M"?? Notice this:
I may consider one of these but I'm not sure about how much of a problem clearance space will be under the hood.

Does anybody know of anyone who has this mod and what kind of issues it presented to the the hood or FSTB clearance issues, especially if that individual added the spacers that goes in between:

Plenum Spacers:

Instantly add 10-15 horsepower and a deeper engine note to your Z or G with a Motordyne plenum spacer. The Motordyne Plenum spacers are stealth. The 5/16" spacer is designed to work with your car's stock engine cover and strut bar. Installation is fast and easy; other than unbolting the stock collectors to switch in parts, nothing else is modified or changed. There are two sizes of plenum spacers to choose from and each offers an advantage for different applications. Both add power and a deeper growl under the hood. The 1/2" spacer typically yields 1 to 1.5 HP more than the 5/16" plenum spacer.

For turbo charged and super charged vehicles, the gains can easily exceed 17-23 HP.

 

Ask the boys on the G35 formus.

 

how would you get it to mount to your manifold? aren't the rwd vq manifolds a completely different shape than the fwd?

 

Looks interesting, id deff buy if i 100 percent knew it would fit the 09s

 

Is our plenum the same as on the G35?

 

Definitely not! I just posted what it says on their website, if you really want to find out what they mean by it fitting any VQ Engine then you have to ask them to be more specific.

 

They sell spacers for fwd vq35's

I know in order to make the 350z manifold to fit onto a fwd vq you need to modify it.
Like this one

As amatter of fact this is for sale on the .org

 

aren't those the same resulting increases in hp and tq you get just from using NWP type spacers? if so, wouldn't that mean the aftermarket manifold doesn't actually do anything?

just an observation.

edit: not to mention, everything said about NWP's spacers states they are of superior quality compared to any other aftermarket IM spacer.

 

actually, iirc, the z33 IM will fit with little to no contact if you remove the hood bracing.

 

So what your saying is it should fit our 09s with no problem?........How about we call up the manufactor directly and see

 

The Manifold adds 18+ HP & TQ seperately, then when you add the Spacer you are supposedly able to get an additional 10-15 HP & some added TQ.

All in all though the combo together is reported to give your car gains of 30HP or more with a higher TQ rating somewhere between 17 or more.

That's taking it as face value from the website.

 

whoops, that's a my bad. i was thinking in terms of a 4th gen, which would make that comment totally irrelevant here. sorry.
