Hi guys,

I wrote Alberto a PM about this and he likes the idea.

I have a free Copper Iso Thermal MREV with a modified collector for any 350Z or G35 REVUP owner who will let Alberto pre/post test it on the 1/4 mile drag strip.

It will be the full Copper Iso Thermal MREV kit with the modified intake runners and 5/16" spacer. A $635 value!

I have been trying to find someone with good 1/4 mile driving skills to test the MREV mod on a REVUP engine. But so far I havn't had any luck. The REVUP engine is too new and there arent many drivers like Alberto.

I would like to see Alberto test the new MREV mod on the track. Alberto doesnt have a REVUP engine but if you or anyone you know who has a REVUP 350Z or G35, I'll hook you up (or your buddy) with a free MREV.


I only ask that Alberto be allowed to pre/post test it on the strip and post the results. The pre/post testing could be done the same day or completed the next day. What ever it takes to get fairly equivalent test conditions. Let Alberto be the judge of what the equivalent conditions are, and how many pulls he needs to feel reasonably confident in the results.

Scan in all the slips and take note of the test conditions. Get it on mpeg video if you can. All the various different times and speeds will be entered into the computer and the statistics will be graphically analysed.

A stock REVUP Z or G is prefered.

Tons of REVUP G35 drivers have installed MREV and they really like what it does for their car... Many have reported their tires are breaking lose or how the car now easily rotates sideways. What ever it does to your car, the change isn't small. Its not nitrous or FI but it isn't a boarderline placebo type mod. MREV will really change the way your REVUP engine responds.... but how it feels doesn't mean anything about what it will do at the drag strip. I would really like to see what this mod does when tested by a good driver on the strip.

There is no particular hurry to do this. I know its really cold in your area right now so we can do it whenever the opportunity is right.

Thanks,
Tony

PS the picture shown below does not have the modified runners but yours will have it.

Sounds like good times The tracks could be closed for the season, as soon as the tracks re-open we can go test it if anybody is down for getting a $600+ mod....I love the idea of testing this unfortunately I have a lowly 287hp Z

You can also test it as long as Alberto gets to take it for a pre/post spin.

Only one MREV will be given away for this test. First come, first serve.

How is this lower intake "modified" from the other MREV (dyno shown)...is it w/machined runners 1&2?

Hydrazine

iTrader: (53)

Yes. Runners 1&2 are machined down and contoured at the inlet.

Where in VA are you? Ever drag raced before just curious? I would wait until your car is broken in-over 1000 miles....

tommym

iTrader: (2)

I am in Fairfax. Yeah, I am closing in on 1000 miles on it. I have been up to summit point, but I haven't done any drag racing.

Alberto

iTrader: (14)

Im gonna check if Cecil is still open, I doubt it though tracks dont usually stay open after the first snowfall. Do you plan on modding soon? Could you wait until next season if need be?

BTW-your ok with me driving your car down the 1/4? People usually freak when they see my vids or see my shift in person, the "abuse" on the transmission looks worse than it is. 53K miles strong still on my stock clutch

I will probably start modding later. I just traded my 03 for this one, so not sure what I am going to do yet. I can wait until next season...that would be fine with me.

I am ok with you driving it. you will not kill my car will you? hehe

Alberto

iTrader: (14)

No I wont, but maybe I should come up with a waiver just to cover my a$$

tommym

iTrader: (2)

hehe...i will bring my lawyer...hehe

Man I wish I saw this thread earlier. I would have step forward. Anyways, tommy you shouldn't worry about Alberto's shifting. . . . . your car will be fine. I just started messing around with his shifting technique. At first it felt funny but man there is a big difference in shifting that way, than the reg. If things fall through, let me know!

So you just powershift all the time? Is that what the fuss is about your shifting?

Alberto

iTrader: (14)

When I drag race I shift that way yes. I dont know what the fuss is about I dont promote powershifting to everybody, I posted a few vids of me racing a while back, people heard the shifts and liked it....

BTW outsider you have an 05' Entusiast, they have the 287hp motor the only 05's with the Revup motors ae 35th anniversary's and Tracks.

yea i stopped doing the powershifting because it seemed that evertime i did, my gears would blow out eventually, and i havnt really powershifted on this 3rd tranny and it seems to be running great.

Alberto

iTrader: (14)

LMFAO Bobby-scare off the volunteers d!ck I have 24K on my good replacement tranny with no issues and many a powershift. I dont want to turn this into a powershfiting vs speedshifting and damage to your tranny thread....

BTW didnt your last tranny lose some gears after you got air born for 1 sec and landed or some dumb $hit like that? BTW if your wrecking tranny's so fast after powershifting you shouldnt be doing it
