great review.. glad to hear youre lovin it. now im really lookin forward to doin mine. btw hows the install?

 

Suuuuper duper easy. I thought it was gonna be a bit more involved, but its easy. I used a nutdriver to torque the bolts down (it comes with instructions for this) instead of a tq wrench, so I just used a couple basic hand tools. Make sure you get some break cleaner and a bunch of rags cuz you're gonna want to clean the inside of both plenums and remember to cover the intake holes on the block when you have the manifold off and you should be all good..

 

got it. yeah ill be replacing the lower plenum too. guess ill follow MD's directions for installing an mrev2

 

Yeah, it'll be all the same. That actually saves you some work. The runners on that lower half are filthy and the cast of that aluminum is crude. Cut my hands a couple times on the edges of it trying to wipe it out.

 

X2 on great write up and info.

 

Hey, you got yours on here right? Did he send you the instructions? If not I can send you mine. You need the bolt tightening diagram.

 

Yes I got it on here. It was 100% complete minus the coolant bypass valve which I got from another forum member on here as well. Thank you tho

 

What's this coolant bypass thing??

 

It's a valve that you install so that you can shut off the flow of coolant going to your throttlebody to help promote cooler air during the summertime.

 

Ah got it
Thanks sweet prince

 

 

I just installed my 5/16 spacer and all I can say is, child's play. I can clearly feel a difference so if it gets better at 100 miles then I'll be really smiling.

 

Did you get a CEL tho? Cuz the only reason I had to go the 100 miles was cuz I had to reset the ecu. I didn't feel it at first cuz after the reset my ecu was like, "...dafaq Is goin on..?" And it had to relearn the air/fuel info.

 

Aww. That explains the 100 mile thing. No I didn't get a check engine light. I did reset the ecu tho but not the throttle body reset. It sure scoots a lot more now tho

 

Yeah, what exhaust do you have? It really made a difference in the sound of mine. Like a crazy difference. Smoothed out the sound great. Probably my favorite part about the mod.
