When you order the upgrade, just tell me what size spacer you currently have and I can send you the appropriately sized components.

You CAN put the 5/16" Motordyne Iso Thermal spacer on top of a 3/8" Spacer?
As whether or not there are performance gains using BOTH spacers on an NA engine is unknown at this time tho?
Please clarify.
Thanks.

There is the Motordyne Iso Thermal (MIT) spacer. Its the Motordyne 5/16" or 1/2" spacer with a Iso Thermal upgrade as part of the kit.
Then there is the stand alone MIT upgrade available for everyone who already has a Motordyne plenum spacer. This upgrade does not contain a spacer, but it has everything else needed to allow the plenum to run 30-60 deg F cooler.
...Just recently another G35driver board member measured his plenum temperatures pre/post installation and measured a 36-81 deg F decrease in plenum temperature.

I put this http://www.nipponpower.com/engine/ma...ar_gasket.html
set on my G about 6 months ago before I installed the 1/2" MD spacer and it definitely helps with heat transfer. No problems with clearance, but this is a two piece set. One pair goes between the heads and the very lower section of the manifold. The 3rd piece goes between the lower section and the middle piece with the intake trumpets. Its worth the effort as I could feel a difference even without the spacer. After the spacer, it was even better.

Hi guys,
Here is a picture of a 350Z Motordyne Iso Thermal plenum spacer kit.
Even though its not shown on the website, all kits are shipping as MIT.
I'll be working on getting all the technical information and pictures onto the website this week. They are shipping!
Edit: And they never lose torque! They only produce HP and TQ gains.

thanks
