And now for more confusion

Found on another site selling it, the begininning of paragraph 2 has me wondering if it's true or not.

The MREV2 is a new product from Motordyne Engineering. It's a new design that works on both the REV-Up and Standard VQ35 engines.

The average power gains on a 260 or 280hp motor (non-rev-up) are better than the 5/16" spacer. This modification increases power across a very wide rpm range. The MREV2 should be used without a spacer on the standard engine, unless fuel/ECU modifications have been performed as it may cause the engine to run lean.

The power gains on a 298hp REV-Up motor are similar to the earlier MREV kits, when used with a 5/16" spacer kit. The 5/16" Spacer is recommended for the REV-Up engines as it will help safely increase power, when used with the MREV2 collector. This setup averages 15+hp and 18+ft.lbs in the upper midrange (approx 4500-5000rpms). Many independent tests have shown even higher gains as well!

The MREV + will give 1 to 3 horsepower more than using the 5/16 spacer. However the spacer is also about a 100 dollars cheaper too.

i know you guys say you should use the spacers with the mrev2 since my engine is the 280hp *non-rev up*..but they said if i do the core rebate thing for $122 and afterwards send them my stock intake plenum or whatever that they would refund me the money so i should be able to use it..being able to use it would mean i could also use the spacers or is it still a no lol (what fuel modifications do you guys mean and is it worth it...wow sometimes i feel like i wanna keep my car and sometimes i feel like going for the g37...

No one makes CF doors for the sedan.

The oem hood is alluminum and weighs ~1-2lbs more than the CF Stillen one I had. So it's not worth changing.

Not sure on the crash results. I would hate to see a set of custom CF doors being trashed.

The SSV,...it doesn't do much and is overpriced. Plus it is stainless instead of AL so it heatsoaks.

Okay - so can I ask a real final question - what is the best for me to get for my 2004 G35 6MT? Sort of new to the G35 thing, but it is sounding like I dont have the REVUP version lol...so what do I do?

How complex is the installation of these things? Can it be done if someone has decent technical know how?

Thanks for the help!

Start with a 5/16" spacer. The install is not that hard; just take your time.

From there just search and see what is best for you.

The install is relatively simple. But the bolts being torqued correctly is very important here, since just a bit too much torque can be very costly.

...and next?

I'm in a similar position -- started upgrading my 04 G35x Sedan a few months ago and I've finished "stage 1" of my mods:

stillen cold air kit + z tube
5/16 plenum spacer
stillen ground kit
stillen sedan exhaust
stillen strut tower bar
stillen rear sway bar
eibach sportlines + d-specs
kazara 18" wheels
6 piston wilwoods + brembo rotors on the front
debadged, Haltron extinguisher in the trunk (for kicks)

what's next other than a supercharger? ECU? one of those brake stabilizer thingys?


Thanks!

If you have an '07 sedan then I would suggest you look in the tech section for the '07 to find your answer as there are differences between the first generation and second generation sedans. Good luck!
