Does anybody have this combo? I ordered it, then realized it was 5/8", not 5/16" like the MD. Just want to make sure it won't damage my engine.

 

I can't belive nobody on here has nothing to say, not even someone flaming me for buying hte Skunk2. I'll be installing it on Saturday and leave a review.

 

it shouldnt damage your engine. skunks are okay, motor dynes are the more popular brand and plus they have the isothermal kit reducing heat soak. umm i think 5/8 is good enough because youre a 6mt and you want hp in the high end.

 

I do not think that there are many experiences with the Skunk2 product, here on these boards. Nonetheless, I am looking forward to reading your post install review and comments.

In the past, with regard to the RevUp engine, members have noticed that the installation of a plenum spacer yielded very little measurable gains. When Motordyne offered the MREV in combination with a plenum spacer . . . That is when people started to realize and dyno very good and noticeable differences.

Perhaps with the 5/8" Skunk2 spacer, you will be rewarded with good results. Keep us posted.

 

I thought of it this way, the skunk is 175 and the ISO thermal kit is $50(didn't buy now). Still much cheaper than the MD. Im not super worried about HUGE gains, because you wont get them with either setup.

 

wait skunk 2 has an isothermal kit too? i thought they didnt have those. if they did i would get the kit.

 

There is one important thing to remember with regard to the Motordyne components . . . The MD products were not made in mind with gaining peak power. They were made in mind with affording nice gains, as witnessed by members' dynos, under the curve . . . Which is exactly what they offer.

I am sure that with the Skunk2, you will notice improved daily driveability, as well. Anything more than that . . . We all have to look into other avenues for increased performance.

 

just ordered my skunk2 today from optionimports great price & great customer service ask for Jasper

 

No MD sells hte ISO thremal kit separate. I don't know if they will work together, but I may try it out.

I got mine for $175 from http://www.g35parts.com. Super fast shipping and GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE. I definately plan on doing business with them again.

 

well let us know how the md iso kit on skunk2 works. make sure you get a inlb torque wrench.

 

The wrong part was sent to me so I won't be able to install it this weekend. They sent me a CF engine cover instead. No big deal, they are being very helpful with getting me the spacer, but I wont be able to have it until next week due to the "holiday" .

Does anybody know if the CF engine cover will fit with the spacer?

 

cf cover 350z version or g35 well the g35 for sure wont. but the 350z will i am not sure if you need to dremel it though unless its a crawford plenum.

 

Im sending it (G35 CF cover) back tomorrow, but I wanted to see what it looks like. Here are some quick pics:

 

yeah those wont fit with the skunk2 nor with the md 1/2 spacer.

 

wow...that is nice...how much is that? And does skunk 2 make that?
