Default Motordyne MREV2 Lower Plenum Install

So as I was sitting here all winter dreaming of driving my car as the snow came down, I read about motordyne's MREV2 which is from what I under stand a 03-05 lower plenum that has been machines to increase some air flow and provide some more low end power to the 06 Rev up motors. As you know the Rev Up makes ~300bhp, and this is apparently at the cost of mid range power and torque. A lot of people who have installed this plenum, a spacer, and had a tune done picked up around ~25 hp. Some people state more, some less. So I couldn't hold the cabin fever in anymore and bought it.

The install went pretty smoothly, if you have installed a plenum spacer is basically the same steps, plus you have to take it a step further and take off the lower plenum. In all it probably took me around 2 hours to complete, but I was taking my time, and stopped for lunch.

Strut bar removed, and upper plenum/spacer removed




Lower plenum removed. It looked pretty cool and kinda made me with I had a different intake manifold to show it off more.



Side by side comparisons. You can see that the runners are longer and smaller on the MREV2 (on the left)





Everything Put back together. Doesn't even look I did anything so I added some stickers for another 50whp each.

Nice. Glad to see it went so smoothly. I had to do mine outside in the parking lot because I'm a college student with no garage. Made me freak out about the wind, dust, and other craziness. How does it feel?

Danny I just installed the mrev2 with the ISO 5/16 spacer recently on my 06 revup, it made a very noticeable difference. As travlee did I ordered mine from B2. Very fast shipping, good price.

The copper is a "set it and forget it". The isothermal comes with an inline valve that you can either open or close depending on the ambient temp. For your location I would assume that the copper would not be needed.

The plenum in your pictures (and assuming came off your car) isnt one of Motordyne MREV2 lower plenum. They machine off the front two intake horns to promote flow to the front two cylinders.

Did you get a spacer too?
