alrighty i am finally ready to order my spacers i got enough money from christmas and new years, but the only problem is i am debating on getting either the 5/16 thermal spacers or the 1/2. i just want ppls opinions on which one i should get(i am looking for performance). thanks guys and yeah yeah i kno ppl are going to say use the search button, trying to order them 2nite by the way

 

haha yah I hate it when people say "use the search button".. could it be we dont have time to search and we need a quick response?

as for the spacers, you'll find a majority of those on g35driver use the 5/16 spacer instead of the 1/2..unfortunetly, i dont know why.. lol
I just ordered the 5/16 yesterday

 

The 1/2" spacer typically yields 1 to 1.5 HP more than the 5/16" plenum spacer.

^^thats the only difference I found on motordyne.com

now I believe people get the 5/16 and not the 1/2 because the engine room; ive heard people say that their hood can barely close with the 5/16 spacer nevermind the 1/2 spacer
just my .02

 

yea the hood closes fine on mine with the 5/16 plus u can keep the cover on n make it look like a sleeper...

 

yeah i'm thinking about getting the 5/16 too. What doeseverybody think of the MREV 2, is it worth it or wut

 

with the 5/16 you can keep your engine cover.. if you dont care about the cover than go 1/2..

i asked rick over at fast intentions: what would give the highest HP as far as plenum or plenum spacer?? and his response was:The highest HP and tuneability is the spacer - and the 1/2" is king.

if your just looking for a few extra hp and you want your engine cover than 5/16 is great.. but if your looking for a little more and dont care about engine cover than 1/2 is for you..

 

There are no issues with the hood closing with either spacer! The only real
problem is that the cover will not fit when you install the 1/2" spacer. So
you can either leave it off or do a carbon fiber cover that will have to be
altered......besides it's fun to do custom stuff!

 

+1





sleeper?




btw, 5/16" ftw

 

i have the 5/16 so i can keep the engine cover on so when i bring it in for service and warranty its harder to notice it but i found out my dealer doesnt even care about the mods they wont void my warranty for it and they actually swapped everything over when i had the engine replaced and threw stillen headers on while the engine was out that was the only reason i went with the 5/16

 

Thank U So Much Guys

 

NP... feel free to ask any other questions

 

From what I hear, 1/2 gives you more top-end power, white 5/16 gives you a better power curve (more mid-end power). So I assume 5/16 is more popular because the power is more accesible and practical, and lets you keep the stock engine cover.

Correct me if im wrong

.

 

if the cover doesnt fit with the 1/2 spacer.. then doesnt that further lead to the hood not being able to close unless you take it out??

 

I thought I read somewhere that while the 1/2" makes a bit more power overall, it loses a bit at the low end vs. the 5/16" just adding and not losing. Also wouldn't the 1/2" need to get tuned since it takes in more air? I beleive that someone from Motordyne posted that most people just get the 5/16". Don't quote me, but that's what I remember ready. I've been researching since I was thinking of doing the same mod as well.

 

You go to Inskip? Last time I was there about my throttle body they said they seen my mods but didn't say anything bad about them!
