Is there much of a difference between the skunk2 and the motordyne spacers? I know plenty of people have been statisfied with their motordyne spacers but I have not heard anything about skunk2 spacers. Also will my CAI still fit if I install a spacer?

 

I have one(Skunk2) and I see a difference in the top end! I have a friend with a 05 350Z and I pull in the top!!

 

I know the MD has been proven time and time. I would stick with that one until I see another dyno on the same car, same day/conditions.

 

The only thing that concerns me about the spacers from my research is that the Motordyne has a copper insulator and they say that if it snows in your region to use this one. Does the Skunk 2 spacer come with that option and if so or not why is that needed?

 

That's part of the iso-thermal optional kit. Does the Skunk even offer those parts?

 

No but the Skunk is made of a resin/plastic material. The thing about the Skunk is the sizes they sell. I've never seen a dyno sheet using the sizes they offer. They are always thicker than the ones already available from motordyne (which has tons of dyno info). But they are cheaper. I wonder how much to buy and have a machine shop cut one down to one of the more popular sizes? (did I just say that?)

 

You cant its plastic material and Im working on the Dyno for the Skunk2 but SGP is backed up!!

 

I don't see why you can't machine plastic?

 

Because it never stays the same afterwards especially when dealing with heat.

 

Can't you cool it down with a cooling oil? Like what cnc machines use?

 

I wouldnt try it I work in a fab shop and I can see that thing wraping like hell!

 

Seems like it's possible? The spacer is a phenolic type plastic right?

+1 heres a good example...take a thick plastic ring (ie a soda cap) cut it in half and then heat it up a little bit. What do you get?

 

Does anyone have a dyno for the skunk?

 

I don't recall ever seeing a Skunk dyno
