Kinetix V + MD Spacer Opinion?
What's up guys? I have been doing some research on the internet and was reading about the kinetix plenum and the MD Spacer. Yesterday I came across a really good deal on a MD spacer and a kinetix plenum that was for sale that was stripped off a G35, and they sold the both to me very cheap. I have been reading and I'm thinking should I only install one or install both? From my understanding the both as a combo will NOT Help the car out more than just having one mod installed? Any help on this subject guys?

ok, sure I will go with the MD Spacer then, I got the Plenum and Spacer off a G before, he had both on the car. Obviously he didn't know what he was doing at the time, lol. Oh well! Also Hydrazine....when I install this plenum spacer do you know what the steps/procedures are to reset the ECU, cause I was reading around and I'm understanding you have to reset the ECU when you do this install.

You don't have to reset the ECU. It can sometimes wakeup the ECU but its not required.
Details of the reset procedure are shown here on the last page of the installation manual:

IIRC the MD spacer made more HP in a dyno test, possibly by Tony at MD. However, the difference will be negligible at best either way, you won't feel the difference in the car's performance. I personally like the spacer better, but I'm also rocking a chromed OEM plenum that looks 1000 times better than the Kinetix plenum IMO.

Out of all the spacers and manifolds tested by Nissan Sport Magazine, the 5/16" spacer made the highest average power gains. The 1/2" spacer made the second most averaged power gains with the highest peak gain.
Motordyne took both 1st and 2nd place with both of its parts submitted to the independent test.
And the installation is easy. 1.5 hours is typical. About 95% of the people who buy them install it themselves.

ok, so, if i buy the simple 5/16 spacer, not the iso thermal one, its just remove the upper part of the plenum put the spacers and tighten everything back up? do i need to buy any gaskets or anything? sorry for asking so much im about to buy the 5/16 spacer but i want to be 100% sure of everything
