Motordyne MREV 2 and 5/16" Iso Thermal plenum spacer
I'm no mechanic but how hard is it to install yourself. Any one have DIY pics and instruction. And do you need to reset you ECU.

easy install.....if youre doing the spacer youre already doing the work for the MREVV2
it took me about 2 hours because i had forgotten one bolt and had to take the whole upper part back off and do it again

All you need is basic tools and it's highly recommended that you get a torque wrench. I believe the install manual that Gary linked to has a list of tools required.
About the only way you could harm your engine is to drop a bolt down into the block through the manifold - then start the engine.

The install is extremely easy. GMZ and I did it on both of our Z's and it took us no more than an hour. I know it looks like a daunting task but once you start with that one screw, you zone out till its done!! Let us know how it goes....later

No problems with the engine cover that i know of. The only problem that i can think of is the strut bar but you should get the spacers with the kit. You have to make sure the strut is tightened back to stock form....

I just installed my mrev2, and I would say the hardest part torqueing to the correct spec. Well, it was the scariest part for me.... first I rented a torque wrench that was kind of busted I think, ended up snapping a bolt.
After I got another bolt from Nissan, I picked up a torque wrench from Sears (craftsman).... wow, much much better and confidence in torqueing those bolts.
I would highly suggesting getting a torque wrench, I know its about $70, but it'll save you lots of headaches if/when you snap/strip a bolt.
