So i'll make this short since its eveywhere. . .just installed my MD Copper iso-thermal MREV on my 05 sedan 6mt. . .took 2 hours with a friend, and was pretty darn easy, just double/triple check all ur hose/bolt connections. Took me awhile to find a decent road in Houston to give it WOT. The way i like to explain this new-found power is. . .more confidence. The engine was already a great engine, with plenty of power, but its like the MREV kit unleashed the rest of teh power that was hiding out. IN combo with the more aggresive intake note, it is the perfect marriage. LIke i said, the engine pulls with alot more confidence now, and i def no longer fear any coupe, 350zs, or other cars in my range. . .not like i ever did fear them . Now go read all the other MREV posts where they actually talk about their power gains and shiz. I'll be posting my new dyno data when i get a chance next week, it'll be under my previous thread with my past dyno data.

 

Congrats to you on your MREV install. Can't wait to see your new data results.

Seems like the MREV is a hit. Tony, hurry with the new mods.

 

So, is the installation of this something that a novice with little motor skills can do?
The last engine I worked on was a 69 chevy 302. That was a simple engine.

 

i'm personally a novice as well, but got help from my friend who is a mechanic genius. To him, it was CAKE, and to me, it was a good learnign experience. But still, i foudn that i could have done it alone with more time, organization, and as long as i had teh proper tools.

 

Nice job on the install. Enjoy the new toy.

 

sorry for the noob question but what is the MRev Kit?

 

You do not get to be any more of a novice than I. I installed the MREV on my own. Props to Motordyne for its simple and thorough install instructions.

 

Essentially, the MREV is a simple to install Motordyne Engineering mod (for'05 & '06 model G's equipped with the 6MT), which utilizes an aluminum plenum spacer, among other components, to enhance our G's hp and tq. substantially. If so desired, you can go the following site for more info.

There are quite a few threads based on personal experience(s) posted here on this particular mod, as well. It's an awesome mod.

 

i wish i had 500 dollars to put this on my car =[ its killing me. i'm saving up for a bike so i can't! its okay. a 05 6mt is better than nothing. grrr

 

Andy:

I know that the MREV increases air flow which helps to increase Hp/torque (right?).

Does that mean that the engine runs leaner? The ECU still controls the air/fuel mixture so it should never run too lean right?

My concern is to find out any side affect to this upgrade.

Thanks.

 

Your right, it does increase airflow by the new design of the bottom plenum (longer/wider gates) which inturn increases torque, and also allows for better temperature control with the Copper piece connected to the throttle body. The engine should not run leaner, as long as teh maps in the ecu that contorl the fuel injectors haven't reached their max, which shoudln't be the case here. Though, since it is colder air, perhaps it'll seem to run a little leaner, though with better combustion due to denser air, if that even makes sense.

 

very nice mod cant wait to see the dyno sheets

 

The MREV alone will not throw your ratios out of the safe range. If you combine it with cats/testpipes/headers etc., you could affect flow enough to need a reflash/UTEC etc. The main advantage to the MREV is not really flow, its a cooler/denser air charge. This reduces the potential for pinging and allows for more timing advance under load.

 

Will someone post some neg info on this piece. I am about to commit suicide from the agony I am experiencing from not having purchased this mod. Everyday is torture .

For a person like myself that goes to the dealership for oil changes and all services. Can they easily discover that part has been replaced? I don't want to get into a pissing match with dealership over services. I don't have space nor time to do oil changes and such. So it is easier for me to be a dumb monkey and return to dealership.

Any one with mrev in the same situation as I?
How is gas mileage?
Any sputtering issues?
Any annoyances at all?

Good luck to all that currently have this. I am so jealous. Seems like everyone is pleased with it....

 

My G was on a dyno at Scott Performance with the MREV installed a short time ago. The A/F ratio was find at that time. However, that may change with future mods.
