My buddy sold his Z, had a kinetix plenum (not SSV) on it and took it off before selling it. He has offered it to me for $250. Should I take it? I was going to do the motordyne copper iso thermal spacer. I'm reluctant to buy it so if anyone here wants it..let me know. Opinions please

Thanks!

 

Do a search for Kinetix + melting.


Stick with the Motordyne or PowerLab spacers.

 

i love my kinetix no problems here

if he was your real buddy he would sell it to you for 200

 

where at?
Does getting stuck in traffic in 120 degree weather count? Or running the crap out of the car in 100degree on a roadrace count? How come mine hasn't melted yet?

 

Considering I just looked up and the MD spacer is on sale now...260 instead of 290 I may get that real soon.

 

i dunno, 250 used is a rip off. say 200

 

That i agree. Anything over 200 for a used plenum is a rip off.

 

Either of you want it? I've 97.3% re-made up my mind on the MD spacer

 

Klubbheads....in your sig the mikeman thing....ROFL! That has got to be one of the funnier things I've seen...please tell me that is real

 

I'll have to look for the thread, there was a guy that had a Kinetic upper plenum and the damn thing melted on him.

 

haha, just looked it up...it is real...that's funny. 40 hp at the crank...50 for smoked clears...haha

 

See post 83.
Here's the guy who's kinetix plenum melted. He has a thread about it somewhere.

Read through the thread sometime. Some usefull info on there.

boosted or not the Motordyne spacer will not give you any problems.

 

That is the older version which i have no idea about.
This explains everything. U shouldn't go on a 4 hour trip with a cracked manifold. Again those are the older versions of the manifold. My V+ version has been through tests that not many cars will ever go through and have not noticed any cracking or "melting" of any kind.

 

so it took them 5 revisions to get it right.



Stick with the Motordyne spacer; less expensive and more reliable. Plus, you can get your OEM upper plenum polished and looks +1000000x better than the Kinetix plastic plenum.
