Hmm interestering ^^^

 

I am getting what I think may be a little mis-fire or something when parked and idling. Sort of a sputter or somthing every couple of seconds. The sputter is very pronounced too meaning I can feel it sort of shake the car.

This defintely wasnt present before my install of the mrev v2 and the 5/16th spacer and I do not recall it happening on saturday. I didnt drive any where on sunday.

I would appreciate you thoughts. Thanks.

 

Sounds like something is not seal up tight. Make sure you recheck everything. Double check your hose clamps and all screws and nuts.

Many thanks Aceman,

That kind of what I figured. I did use a torque, in lbs, wrench but I had read where some folks had to go back and re-tighten a few bolts.

Thanks for the very speedy reply.

 

I have had my plenum off sooooo many times. I remember starting with Version 1 of the kinetix ( cracked ) version 2 ( cracked ) version 3 ( cracked ) Version 4 then sold that and bought the SSV. I can take the SSV off and put it back on in 20mins, thats with removing the strut bar

Yeah, i would just double check everything, another spot could be where your Throttle body conects to the plenum ( the bottom right hex screw is tough to get to and tighten sometimes).

Good luck

sounds like you could filed strip it blind folded now.

Yeah that hex bolts were a bit tough to reach

I'll make sure to double check it as well. Many thanks.

 

That did it. I am suprised at how loose they got just after a little driving.

Thanks for the tech support.

 

Noah,

You installed it with the 5/16" spacer right? The spacer kits come with low strength thread locker to keep the bolts locked into position.

 

Yeah I used it. Too my suprise they still backed out. I am going to buy something a little stronger and see if that helps.

 

Good to see some positive dyno results. I'd like to see some more before I'm fully convinced.

 

Once i get my autoenginuity.com scantool updated I am going to reinstall the old plenum and road dyno my G. It comes with a dyno application called speed tracer; the software is a chassis dyno application and actually factors in friction, drag, tire size, weight, enviroment variables etc so the numbers will be real world. I think it willl be an apples to oranges comparison if you try to compare it to dynojet or dyna pack though.

I intend to dyno the following configs: mrev v2 with the 5/16 spacer, mrev v2 alone, stock plenum and stock plenum with the spacer. This should take place next weekend or possibly the weekend after that becasue I am sending my scantool adapter in for an update and I am using ground shipping both ways to Az.

I have to admit that it, the mrev v2 and spacer, has been performing very well and I am happy with what I am feeling. However, like you I want to see the numbers.

 

so when can we find new mrev2's for sale again?

 

Early June.

 

It doesn't say on your site. Whats the bottom line cost for an MREV-2 and a 5/16" Iso-Thermal Spacer combo?

 

The spacer price is as it is stated 290 bux, there was no discoutn on it. I think Tony was only offering the sale price for a week on the mrev v2. At teh time it was 346

 

according to the other posts, it seems as though getting an MREVv2 and a 5/16th isnt as productive unless you were to do some tuning. that being, you have a 287motor.
" mrev v2 is your bang for the buck" is what i belive it said....
initially i was going to go only with a spacer, but if tony lists his price at 346 again, why not pay an extra 50 bucks and go with the Mrev v2 alone.

 

Note: A core exchange rebate is available for those of you with non-REVUP lower collectors. Contact us for more information.

is that still applicable?

 

Yeah, people with a stock 287 plenum can send it in for a refund.

 

mikead_99, are you running lean?

Foo_G, could that be the problem for you too?
