Agreed, The stock airbox is already a very good heatshield for the intake. Just throw a K&N drop in with a stillen Z-tube and youll have a really good set up going.

 

Stillen Z-tube work same for sedan vs coupe? Parts the same?

 

jst a quick question.. How do u know if u have a OEM REVUP MREV?? I have a '03 auto coupe g, fully loaded but I don't know if those come stock or would I have to upgrade??

 

You have a vq35de, and the mrev your referring to is an aftermarket upgraded lower plenum i believe. So no stock car comes with a MREV. The only models that come with a VQ35DE REVUP engine is the 05-06 Manual transmission models. So revup is just the type of engine 05-06 MT recieved

 

Ty. It's all starting to clear up for me. Not much bolt on after market for my 2008 5at from what I can see. Exhaust is about it and that isn't much bang for the buck imho. Dropped in some K & N air filters, whoopy. Been told intake bolt ons are almost no bag for the buck, since the stock is duel and pretty good to begin with.

Still love my car.

 

i have an 05 revup coupe, i already have my z tube on their but im debating on either buying a pop charger or should i get the k&n filter?

tell me whats better

 

Both work just fine to me. You'll get a nice deep throttle tone with the K&N filter (which is what I have on now). I kept the stock intake ducts from grille to channel air to it, and added a heat shield, since the motor gets hot.

 

Just finished installing the Iso Thermal MREV2 and 5/16" spacer with a Stillen intake tube on my 06 6mt. The air box is stock with a stock filter as recommended by Hydrazine.

On the first 7000rpm 2-3 shift the traction control kicked in! After turning TCS off it would consistently chirp the tires on those 7000rpm 2-3 shifts. The outside air temp was 93°. I could chirp that shift before the mods, but not with the temp that high. Part of that must be the iso thermal and coolant control.

I ordered the swaybars at the same time, but they are on back order.

 

As I sit here reading all this it makes me sad, I have a MREV2, spacer, Motordyne Shockwave, Berk HFC, and a ACT HD clutch and streelite flywheel all waiting on me at home. I'm stuck in Iraq....

 

yeah i dont feel like thinking anymore about intake set ups so im just going to throw a k&n drop in filter in and pick up my whopping 0.5hp baby !

im sure it will growl then haha

 

THANK YOU for your service!


Tony

 

how would the mrev2 work with a 1/2" spacer?

anyone have this combo?

 

I do, and I did notice a nice increase in power...especially in the 5,900rpm to 6,200rpm range! It was an accident when I bought it used off a friend with a 350z, but from what I hear, the 5/16" got a little better results on a dyno run.

 

thank you for the info!

 

A little more top end with a little less midrange.
