General Information:
Plenum Spacers:
Instantly
add 10-15 horsepower and a deeper engine note to your Z or G with a
Motordyne plenum spacer. The Motordyne Plenum spacers are
stealth. The 5/16" spacer is designed to work with your car's
stock engine cover and strut bar. Installation is fast and easy; other
than unbolting the stock collectors to switch in parts, nothing else is
modified or changed. There are two sizes of plenum spacers to
choose from and each offers an advantage for different applications.
Both add power and a deeper growl under the hood. The 1/2" spacer
typically yields 1 to 1.5 HP more than the 5/16" plenum spacer.
For turbo charged and super charged
vehicles, the gains can easily exceed 17-23 HP.
Iso Thermal and Copper Iso Thermal:
Iso
Thermal and Copper Iso Thermal upgrades reduce heat transfer to
substantially reduce upper and lower plenum temperatures. Cooler intake
air temperatures increase air density and reduces the tendency
for detonation or ping.
1)
The first component is an Aramid thermal isolating gasket that is
installed between the lower plenum and intake manifold. By
installing a Motordyne Iso thermal Aramid gasket between the intake
manifold and lower plenum, the heat soak is significantly
reduced.
2)
The second component is the throttle body Coolant Control Valve
(CCV). The CCV allows you to selectively heat (or not heat) the
plenum assembly. With local weather temperatures below 55'F the valve
is left open. In warmer weather the valve can be closed for
maximum thermal benefits.
3) The third thermal management component
is the Iso Thermal plenum internal supports. The plenum internal supports are self retaining and self sealing.
In addition to providing sealing and support, the
internal supports are thermally non-conductive to
effectively shut down heat transfer through the six
plenum internal posts.
4)
The fourth thermal management component is the Copper Throttle Body
heater. Copper Iso Thermal is a premium set and forget component that
can be used in place of the Coolant Control Valve (CCV). It doesn't
matter how hot or cold the weather is, you don't have to adjust a valve
based on the season or ambient temperatures. Install it and the
throttle body remains heated while the plenum continues to remain
thermally isolated. Keeping the throttle body heated prevents ice
formation on the throttle body butterfly valve when driving in cold
weather. If it snows or gets really cold in your area, use
the Copper Iso Thermal so your engine can take full advantage of the
cold air you are driving in.
MREV 2 Manifold:
The Motordyne MREV 2 Manifold is high-torque plenum
mod designed for use on any VQ engine.
When used with a 5/16" spacer on the
REVUP engine, every test to date shows MREV 2 Manifold will add a "minimum" of 15+ HP and 18+ TQ at 4500 RPM.
MREV 2 Manifold is
easily the single most effective bolt on modification available for the
REVUP VQ engine.
When used with on the non-REVUP engine,
the gains are very similar to that of the 5/16" spacer
but the MREV 2 Manifold will show a slightly lower peak value,
with a slightly higher average value and a slightly
higher TQ value. Overall, MREV 2 Manifold provides "area
under the curve" and is the highest gain plenum mod
available.
Stealthy and Discrete:
All
Motordyne plenum modifications are stealthy. When installed, most
people looking at them wouldn't even know a high performance
modification was there. The CNC cut spacers conform very tightly to the
stock plenums complex shape for a professionally engineered look. And
they have a grit blast finish that allows them blend in with the OEM
sand cast plenum. The spacers are cut from alloy aluminum and can
resist any amount of thermal soak or boost.
