What was your total cost for everything?

After hearing a lot obout the MREV I think that I might buy! After looking at the website I am a bit confused about what package and accessories to get. Can you guys give me some advice?

 

Essentially, you need only make 2 decisions. First, you need to decide whether you want either the Iso Thermal MREV or the Copper Iso Thermal MREV. With the Iso Thermal MREV, a Coolant Control Valve is used to heat the Throttle Body when the outdoor temps are below 55 degrees F. It's a simple task of turning the CCV on and off with a flathead screwdriver. With Copper Iso Thermal MREV, a copper heating plate is used. In this set-up, you just install the part and forget it. You never need to manage it ever again.

Second and finally, you can decide on whether you want the MREV Plus, which is a "Modified" lower collector in lieu of the "Standard" lower collector, which is already a component of the above 2 previously mentioned MREV kits. This "Modified" lower collector, if you choose to opt for, will replace the "Standard" lower collector.

Have fun deciding and more importantly . . . Have fun installing the MREV and have a Blast driving it.

 

Does the MREV affect the warranty at all?

 

Technically any mod can void warranty as long as they can prove it caused the damage. I know that the plenum spacers could easily be covered up because it looks so close to stock. However, I'm not too sure about how "stock" the MREV Plus looks. Honestly though, if the tech wanted to be an a$$ he will find out about it. So.. just go for it

 

To put it simply . . . A K&N filter coupled with a Z Tube could potentially cause you many warranty problems.

 

or you can be lazy and just leave it opened/closed and change it whenever you remember ^_^

 

I live in PA where the weather fluctuates quite a bit. I guess that I would want to get the Copper Iso Thermal MREV for $537, right? Would I need to get any accessories with this?

Thank you for your help!

 

Perfectmax,

Yes, that is the kit, which you should get. You do not need any accessories. Tony has done a marvelous job of packaging this mod. It comes complete with all of the components that you will need. The Copper Iso Thermal MREV kit is all you need. The only other option is the "Modified" lower collector, which is the MREV Plus option.

Hehehe . . . I am excited for you. I trust you will have a great install experience. Wait till you start you G up for the first time with the MREV. . . Listen to your car. Take it out for the first and one of many test drives. You will need to apply anti wrinkle cream on your face due the amount of ear to ear smiles, which the MREV will produce. Enjoy!

 

Can any of you guys who have installed the MREV Plus report on any MPG differences?

Thanks!

 

Yes, as I have posted and others have mentioned . . . My G's post MREV mpg has gone up. I don't understand it myself. I through a feeler out there and confirmed it. After 3 full tanks of gas, I received 2 to 3 more mpg while shifting at or below the 3k mark during regular city driving. When driven spirited, I still get the original mpg. Go figure, I increased my daily driveability and increased my mpg . . . Go MREV!

LMAO . . . Now, I joke with my wife that the MREV is a fuel saving mod.

 

I dont get it.

WTF does this mod do and how. I know that you guys love it, but can i get an unbiased response from people here? It seems like a pretty steep cost for $530 that just spaces a couple of components out of the way for a cooler engine.

Also, what's the deal with this?

 

To receive an "unbiased response," as you put it . . . You will need to search and study all of the MREV threads to form your own opinion. There are numerous threads here on Driver and a few over at My350Z. Here is a thread with the most dyno info available that I have seen. Put on your reading glasses.

i know how to search, no need to be cocky about it.

I'm sorry, but i've learned that there aren't many mods that are sold that'll add such amounts of performance to a car, and when i see that these are just spacers, it sounds very very fishy. Especially with a simple bolt on that seems like that all that's required is removing the engine cover, putting the spacers in, and bolting the cover back on.

 

Have you looked at other performance vendors' catalogs and such?

Disclaimers of this nature are quite common for FI units, Hearders, Race Pipes, HF Cats, etc.

You mod at your own risk. If you are uncomfortable in doing so . . . I would suggest getting a Z Tube and a K&N Filter. However, that may potentially void your warranty, as well.

I am, by nature, quite courteous to all queries. I rarely, if at all, get snippy with questions . . . As most have seen.

 

i have a few questions about this thing. i'm leasing a 2006 coupe this week for 3 years. If I got this thing and then returned the car stock otherwise would it be noticeable??? ANother thing is, what effects would it have on the car if I turbocharged it? will it stay sealed???
