I dont think by moving it we are going to gain or loose any information. Its just simply going to be in another area of the forum. Now tony said that the original MREV was simply a 5/16 spacer and a OEM non-revup plenum, essentially. Now use your imagination and imagine if you could bond the 5/16 spacer to the OEM plenum. You would then have what looks identical to the MREV. Now the MREV2 is machined differently. By it being machined differently are we talking about just the air inlets them selves, they are redesigned so more air can be flowed through them. Or is even the out part of the plenum redesigned...idk

I PMed tony hopefully he will understand my question.

LOL . . . Sorry, if I added to the confusion. However, I believe that you and I have an understanding, if not for all parties concerned aside from the specific language being used, here.

Your request to remove and relocate this said thread to the appropriate section is noted and done. See ya on the other side.

Previously. MREV (before any MREV + or 2 was available) was a PACKAGE. That package = MREV (non rev up lower manifold) PLUS a 5/16" spacer. Not bonded, welded, attached, glued, etc. etc. etc..

I don't know how to say it any easier than that.

Can I use the MREV with the 5/8" skunk 2 plenum spacer. This whole set up will run around 575 + shipping from everythingg35 where as a exhaust would cost about $775+ shipping.
exhaust. I met a guy at the skyline drive meet with the mrev and spacer installed but with before and after tyno runs, which showed absolutely no change lol. From what I understand you need to run a utec for that mod to really come to life (unlike a simple exhaust install).

Jeff, i was trying to refer to what tony said in this post.

Maybe i'm being retarded and just looking at it to critically, but what is being said here then? What does he mean by "All you need to do is install a spacer and you automatically have a MREV"?

Because if you DON'T have a rev up motor, you already have the mrev lower intake manifold. Thus only needing to add a spacer to complete that package.

Why would Tony try sell the mrev lower manifold to those that ALREADY have it?

Justin. Are you ACTUALLY saying that the spacer and such don't work w/o an ecu tune??

Do you KNOW how many dyno tests that one dyno graph represents??? EXACTLY how is Tony's dynos LESS real world than your example??

Halarious to say the least.

Here's the real kicker:

2003 DG coupe. HKS Hi-Power Exhaust (installing friday), Motordyne 5/16" plenum spacer, Nismo CAI (in the mail), skyline and 350gt emblems (in the mail).

Umm i have no idea why tony would do that, i never said he was trying to do that...i was just confused as to what he was implying. Why do people try to sell fake cars online? I’m not accusing tony of anything as i have never heard a bad word about him I’m just re implying your question.

As for what tony said in his "statement" i was confused as i thought that the mrev was an option to get a new lower manifold with a 5/16 spacer already molded to it. Thats what i thought he was saying. I didn’t know the mrev was the same exact thing as the non-revup lower plenum...thats all.

Here's the real kicker:
I don't know what you are really saying here. Yeah, I have a spacer and am enjoying it. I'm sorry, there were concerns voiced about the mrev and spacer mod (by multiple parties that have it installed) at the meet on Sunday. I'm not saying the spacer is a bad product or that it doesn't produce any gains. If you actually read my posts instead of implying your own bs, you would see this. This wasn't a thread about not to or to install the mrev and spacer mod, it was a question of what to do first. With that and everything else, I stated I would do the exhaust. Instead of being rude and arrogant you may actually want to step back from yourself. You are clearly not an expert at anything here.

P.S. it's hilarious not halarious moron.
