OK so for those of us with aftermarket plenums already -- we would need just the new lower plenum for a net cost of $122 (no gaskets or wtvr)?


Any chance we can get a dyno done of a crawford/kenetix plenum with this mod?

 

ya, buy the focker and dyno it.

 

Its just $122, if you can't afford that you shouldnt be modding your Z!

 

so this will work with the mrev work with on 04z + crawford plenum?

just confirming....so sorry if this has been answered

if so, what are the gains

thanks

 

yes it will work. The spacer basically acts like a plenum.
Gains is undetermined, until someone actually dynos, but you can expect similar results to the one with the spacers.

 

why not go with the modified lower plenum?

if the mrev plenum will work with 287 is there any modification needed?

thanks

 

Hi Guys,

Hopefully Wired24/7 and I can get this dynoed tomorrow or thursday.

I have a long planned track event to go to this weekend. Gotta break the new Z's cherry.

Whats your schedule Mike?
Tony

 

No one told me about "Tomorrow or Thursday" hehe...

Tomorrow is HORRIBLE for me, sorry... seriously folks if Tony's busy on the weekend then it's gonna have to be this coming Monday. If I can get an appointment for Monday, I promise to show up

 

no more waiting pls...!

 

LOL don't blame me, blame the dyno people! If they would return my (or Tony's) phone calls, we wouldn't be in this situation! If they stayed open until 7pm, I'd come after work!

THEY'RE the one's you hate, not me! eheheheh

 

But it is so easy to just hate you!

 

Ready to buy,

And ready to see new dyno charts

 

Ready to buy and be the first few testers!!!

 

Just give me the package...Ill dyno it

 

seriously, I was going to dyno a pre/after run anyway to see where I stand.

 

Hydrazine,

I am curious as to the materials used for your spacers. Wouldn't a composite material like phenolic resin work great for a spacer? Or how about PEEK (polyetheretherketone). These plastics should have thermal insolation properties superior to aluminum with isolating gaskets. However, they might be more costly than aluminum. Your thoughts?

 

.... uh.. yes indubitably

 

O.K. I bought an '03 lower plenum section from a forum member, I got it today. I am going to try machining my own MREV + conversion in my home machine shop. This my turn out to be a big mistake, or a lot of fun. So far I've just been doing some measurements. I've already discovered several features that I didn't expect. Obviously, this isn't a project for everyone. I will keep you guys informed of how things progress.

 

Implemented Iso Thermal on the spacer about a month ago but havn't had time yet to do a formal introduction. I will though and do it with pics and descriptions.

The plenum spacers now come with Iso Thermal gaskets applied directly to the spacer. ...So the the spacer itself is what you describe.

BTW Right after the track event, I am scheduled to run an independant dyno on Tuesday @ 9:30 (with a very interesting corporation that owns their own dyno). Everyone here knows this company very well.

Results will be posted soon after.

Right now, all my email adresses and PM's are completely clogged and I won't have time to answer all of them before leaving town. But you will all get to see the first independant dyno probably around tuesday night.

And Wired 24/7 still gets to do his too!

Gotta scram guys. Need to get up very early tomorrow. I have R&D to do at the track.

Tony
