I'm not sold on this mod yet (Copper Iso Thermal plenum spacer). Thursday night I'm going down to the meet at Starbucks so I'm going to put a thermocouple with insulation on the top of the plenum to see how hot it gets. Maybe after that I'll want one.

Thanks for the info!

 

Hrm... very interesting... anyone gonna do a group install party?

 

Already ordered mine (Iso Thermal Kit) which I'll be installing with my APS Plenum. Should be getting it this Tuesday .

 

I just installed all of this stuff on my car today along with the CCV versus the copper TB upgrade and after 30-40 minutes of driving, the plenum was luke warm to the touch and the TB as ice cold!!!!

 

If I get the thermal part of it. do we need the throttle body part here in AC?
Bill and I already have the 1/4" spacers.

 

I don't think so ... I mean, it wouldn't hurt for sure. The basic throttle body valve just looks adjustable, for people that need to adjust it for below freezing weather.

 

From what I've read no. These are specifically made for those who go through extreme weather conditions like New York where it is freezing during the winter & hot during the summer.

 

Walt,
If you don't want to worry about opening and closing the CCV, not that we get extreme cold here, then get the thermal copper one. I'm up in the air about the whole thermal upgrade.

 

Well, if I am understanding the CCV correctly ... for our climate, we would just want to CLOSE the valve and forget it.

The coolant runs through the throttle body to keep it warm, so it won't stick during freezing temps, correct? So if we are rarely below freezing, we wouldn't need to keep that TB warm (thus transfering heat to the plenum, etc...)

It would be the same thing as doing a coolant BYPASS mod, correct?

 

Correct-o

 

I just need the #1 the thermal upgrade to my 1/4" spacer. Who do I send PayPal to?

 

Sales@Motordyneengineering.com

Total should be $62.13 ($50 + 8.25% tax + $8 shipping)

 

Walt - Info is in the link in the first post of this thread.

Paypal - Sales@Motordyneengineering.com , but you need to give them all the information in the paypal notes (350z, #1 option, etc etc)

I got my spacer and gasket set with CCV the other day, and will probabally install on Sunday. w00t!
