Forget the MREV and go with what Andy posted- A motordyne plenum spacer 5/16 with the iso thermal spacer.

I like mine.

Well you could compare the person who buys my kit to djniknala...

That guy would have one eighth the cost into FI and about 150rwhp over stock. My guess would put djniknala is 200-225rwhp over stock levels with his built motor and a perfect tune on his car running 15psi.

A.) Why wouldn't the MREV Plus work with an 03'

B.)
MREV PLUS - best 700 bucks I ever spent on ANY mod on anything I have ever owned.

+20HP you can feel right away!
Says on MotorDyne site that the MREV Plus is only $122.00.
Where did you get $700.00 from? Just curious and learning at the same time!

Definitely the Skyline 350GT badge, those are the bomb around my high school. People fall off the skateboards going "Oh DaNmg! ThAt's a SkYLiNE." No joke man, get the Skyline badge, it's like 20 bucks.

MREV is an 02-04 lower plenum with spacer and all the goodies for the 05+ 300hp RevUp motors only. MREV plus is just a mod to that plenum to go with the MREV.

Do a little research here... http://www.partshippers.com/index.ph...ath=81_224_225
I suggest you use the search function first next time... not everyone is as nice as me to answer questions that can be very easily searched like this...

Cool

Let me continue my questioning before I vent. I *thought* our engines were all the same. What did they do to the 05's and up that makes the lower plenum so much different. In other words, won't it fit just the same?

********************************

Thanks for being so sweet DoFu

I've heard the "S" word too many times before. I'm sure others have too. Just a heads up,,,the Search Function of this Forum is not perfect and most of the time takes you to meaningless threads. Plus, repeating topics like this will suite me just fine. It will keep me from having to read "What color do you like best of the G" and "How long do you plan on keeping your G" type threads, although I do admit that I try to join in as much as I can, and have actually posted a response to those. LOL.

Anyways, my point is. Answer it or don't. Simple as that. Why go into the politics man. If you don't want to burn your time posting, then don't. How simple is that?

I do appreciate your response. Don't get me wrong about that please.

I just get so frustrated hearing "Search" this and "Search" that. As a matter-o-fact, I just tried searching "Double Din" for the Double Din Dash Conversion, and it brought up 90% junk!

Take or Leave.

The MREV mod is comprised many of different components. A non RevUp lower collector is one of those many components, which make up the MREV. The MREV plus is a modified non RevUp lower collector, which can be had for an additional cost.

Yep... don't know where it came from tho...

What ever happened to spirogyro? Started this thread, got responses, but never chimed back in to let us know what he ended up deciding to get.

I'm right here!! As I see, there are little to no gains in moding my engine. Therefore, I will probably update the look of the car. To be quiet honest too, I really don't think that FI is really neccasary especially for it's cost. I'm not going to put it in any shows or race it, so that's probably not the best option for me. Plus, it may be harder to sell down the road. I know it's very common but I do like the Greddy front facia and may slowly ad skirts and a rear as well. I also want to do some audio video stuff too, so that should definately keep me busy and my pockets empty. Thanks for all the good info though.
