350z Motordyne MREV 2 Manifold, anyone using it?
I'm looking into getting the Motordyne MREV 2 Manifold and their 5/16 spacer as well. Anyone using the manifold? and if so...How much of a difference did you notice?

The biggest difference of going with the MREV in addition to the spacer is felt on revup engines. But it helps some. They claim something like 16 horsepower from the two but from what I've seen its more like half that.

8 HP for $800 + tune does not seem like the biggest bang for my buck if u ask me Ive got the 04 350z none Revup so if u say its only have that on a revup, then i dont see spending over $1000 on all this for 8 hp lol

I agree with you, but an exhaust cost about the same with similar results.

Data seems to be inconclusive on that, it has sparked my interest, already have the Crawford Plenum. "Should work" isnt enough to shell out the cash for it. Anyone running it on an '03? Another forum had a previous post saying it would be a waste, no data though. Think I have all other bolt on's you can get, sure mine needs a tune (no way total hp gains for all the mods add up, thats a fantasy) but if the MREV was worth is for the older motor, i would get it before the tune..

Here's my review of my modified non-revup plenum. The modifications were based on what MD does to their plenum and the MD plenum would probably perform better than mine. The MREV2 does make gains on the non-revup motors, even with a 5/16 spacer.

the bottom line is, if you're looking for power gains you're wasting your money with bolt ons. Sure you could spend 10k on a built na motor and notice a good bit of power increase but you could also spend 10k on a turbocharged stock block and KNOW that you are putting down some serious power.

I'd NEVER build an NA motor nor turbo an NA motor. I know way too many people that have done this and put a crazy amount of money into quality parts and a quality build only to constantly be fiddling with the car because so many issues pop up. The fact is, the further you get away from OEM, the harder it becomes to maintain OEM driveability. Automakers spend millions to get the tuning and driveability just perfect. When you start significantly modding motors, reliability and driveability goes out the window.

IF YOU DO A SAME DAY PRE/POST DYNO TEST ON A REVUP ENGINE, THE MREV2 IS GUARANTEED TO MAKE A MINIMUM OF 15HP AND 18TQ.
Let me know if you have any questions.

I believe you'll need a tune to see the actual benefits from it.
Although from what i've seen, the spacer on the non revup engine will only net you a few ponies between 4.5k and 6k revs, otherwise no change anywhere.
I'll note there is some torque gains lower down, but nothing i've seen so far with just the spacer without the MRev2.
