My spacer just came in today!! wOO!! anyone kno where i can get it installed in socal? preferably the torrance/palos verdes area?

Or if anyone knows any DIY's that are out there ?

 

didn't it come with directions?

It's a fairly straight forward installation.

-Remove existing bolts that attach upper plenum to lower plenum (6 on top of the plenum and a handful around the perimeter of plenum)

-remove upper plenum and set aside (careful about the TB attachments). I wrapped a bungy cord around the lower part of the plenum and attached it to the hood to hold it up.

-remove gasket

-install spacer, not a bad idea to coat the new gaskets with a thin layer of oil.

-reposition upper plenum

-LOOSELY install bolts

-torque down to recommended specs.




You're going to be happy with the purchase.

If you have a Revup engine you should do the MREV at the same time while it's apart.

 

Ya it did but same kind of situation with my fujita intake. i followed the instructions but what if i do something wrong. Thats why it took me an hour and a half to install the intake LOL! I dunno im just kind of scared . Plus i dont even kno what it means to "torque down to recommended specs" or that last sentence about the "revup engine"?. IM TOTAL NUB.. and im ashamed..

 

that's cool, we all have to start somewhere. Maybe you should let someone else install it, but stay with them and watch/help as much as you can. Labor = $$$$$$$$ you could be using for other mods!

 

AH MAN I CANT WAIT>...... *sigh*. one question though . What do you mean by doing the MREV?

 

you can do it yourself bro. I got mine yest and i was afraid to install it and **** anything up but it came out good bro. you don't really need to torque wrench. but you can rent one for auto zone or pepboys. Sears sells them too.

 

The MREV is the lower plenum. It's what your spacer will be mounted on top of.

 

YA i got it . I was sooo scared.. but i got it done and everything seems to be working perfect.

 

alright somethings wrong now....

i got the 5/16" with the iso and its been since apr that i got it. now whenever the car idles it idles at like under 1k rpm literally.. like about to shut off... i dont kno whats wrong with it i triple checked the plenum, spacer, gasket, all the bolts, tubes. i cant find anything wrong with it!!

someone help?

 

The only thing I can think of is rechecking that all the bolts are torqued to spec on the spacer (possible vaccuum leak?)...
But if it was running fine for months...????
The next thing would be a Throttle body issue, but that usually caused high idle...either way I would to the relearns on the back of the motordyne instructions for Idle air/ TB relearn/ and Ecu Reset.

 

Ive checked all of that.

i dunno

maybe the throttle reset would work.

thnx for your suggestions

 

You may want to refer to https://g35driver.com/forums/engine-...ne-spacer.html ... he lists a number of post-installation resets ... I also read another post where someone found an air leak that caused his rough idle

 

Dude I had the same problem you had. I had my throttle body cleaned and it was fine.

 

alright ill get that checked then. It kinda died down by itself. but ill still get that checked.

thnx
