Which Motordyne Intake plenum do I need?
I have a 03 coups 5AT...i was debating on selling cause i want a 4 door but just cant yet...going to save up for a G8GT....so id like to do a couple of cheaper mods such as the plenum..

can someone link me to the one I need and the best price (i think ebay) and I dont know if I need copper or not...

I also found this install video on yourtube...is it really this easy?


Do I want to change the gasket?

You don't need the plenum, the MREV2 is basically your current plenum with some machine work. Its only the REV-UP engines that benefit from MD's plenum. All you need is a MD plenum spacer.

Not sure if your supposed to, but I kept the stock gasket on there when I installed mine. Haven't had any boost leaks yet. If it gets hot where you live then it wouldn't be a bad idea to get the ISO thermal kit as well.

I left the stock gasket on there too. Maybe we did it wrong?

Most member here install the MotorDyne 5/16" spacer, if you go to the 1/2" like I have you can't use the engine cover. That's all you need for a first gen VQ motor with a AT....Gary

Why buy it from ebay? I'm sure one of the vendors on here will match that price or maybe even beat it

+1...I know OC Infiniti sells them on eBay, but I'm sure if you PM them they'll probably give it to you for the same price.
