Wasso Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 Well I'm hoping to get my new polisher by the end of the week. I'm a bit stacked with plenums at the minute but once I get a window of opportunity I'll let you know. 1 Quote
_BR1TT0N_ Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 I used wasso! Great service and looks cool in custom colour! Simple instructions and easy to fit Quote
bc1987 Posted May 29, 2014 Posted May 29, 2014 So I bought a motordyne plenum spacer from tarmac. It's not the best looking bit of kit, but it has made a noticeable difference. Would recommend. Takes about 30 mins to fit. Quote
zebedy Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 sorry guys Im new to all this and just having my zed for a couple of weeks, am looking to mod. What does the spacer acheive and how does it work and approx what would I be looking to pay for one. sorry for my lack of knowledge here Zeb Quote
zippypooz Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 sorry guys Im new to all this and just having my zed for a couple of weeks, am looking to mod. What does the spacer acheive and how does it work and approx what would I be looking to pay for one. sorry for my lack of knowledge here Zeb Wasso's the guy to chat with mate...Courtesy of wasso: 'Price is £170 delivered to mainland UK. The spacer compliments the many array of performance and style mods for your car. The spacer is probably one of the best performance per £ you can buy. Tie this up with the Uprev tune and you'll benefit from mid range torque and a nicer growl from the V6 as you are increasing the plenum chamber air space. I've got one, and so have many many other people. I designed mine on the Motordyne version but further improved it by making it cheaper and having the benefit of looks by polishing and anodising the outer edge. This makes for simple cleaning, unlike the Motordyne which looks grubby and won't clean up due to not being polished. So I've taken great mod and moved it forward a few paces. In stock and pretty much good to go next day. It's a simple case of just picking a colour…… (normally based on your engine bay theme, or I do hold plain styles such as silver or black etc.' Quote
Wasso Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 Cheers Zippy good write up ZZZ drop me a line for further info 1 Quote
ZEUS Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 Again go for wasso,s spacer it's the best quality bit of kit I've seen in a long time. And it works, shame you don't really see it once fitted. 1 Quote
mr_smith126 Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 Can anyone give some input on this.. My GT4 has a revised plenum on it as standard, so would I still benefit from a plenum spacer...? Quote
zippypooz Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 Can anyone give some input on this.. My GT4 has a revised plenum on it as standard, so would I still benefit from a plenum spacer...? I would have thought not as im presuming they've already updated it. But im no expert!! Ask Wasso. Quote
mr_smith126 Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 Below are the two different plenums. There is more air space on the GT4 plenum.. which is in effect what the plenum spacer does I assume..? So would it hurt to have even more air space..?? Wasso, over to you..! Standard plenum GT4 plenum Quote
zippypooz Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 Wondering if it would interfere with the strut bar? Quote
longsh07 Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 (edited) Glad I saw this. I'm off to Abbey on the 6th to have a plenum spacer and an UpRev tune done on my GT4. Abbey know my car is a GT4 and dint bat an eyelid so I assume its not an issue. Edited September 4, 2014 by longsh07 1 Quote
Wasso Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 (edited) Okay here goes, we shall start with a standard DE. Plenum spacer fitted will exceed the spacer performance gains over that of a GT4 and Revup - because the DE tunes better. Just the way it is. GT4/Revup A spacer alone will provide some gains but in order to gain over and above a plenum spacer on a DE you'll need a Motordyne MREV 2 lower plenum. A GT4/Revup will then gain more than a DE with just a spacer. Two ways to resolve the GT4/Revup. 1. Get a used or new MREV 2 2. Get hold of a DE lower plenum. Shave the front two ports flat which is all a MREV 2 is. I have a modified DE lower plenum with shaved ports and it performs exactly the same as the MREV 2 Considering what Motordyne charge, modifying a DE lower collector if done correctly will provide the necessary gains. Abbey will I'm sure suggest you buy a MREV 2 from them to see nice gains. To be honest the DE tunes better NA with added mods. GT4/Revup gain better power with FI, and furthermore with HR. Although the upper hand with GT4/Revup is the higher rev limit. So what is lost in lesser gains is resolved by a longer power band. Horses for courses really.

longsh07 Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 (edited) Nice one Wasso Surprised the MREV2 was never mentioned though otherwise I'd have seriously considered this before getting booked in for a UpRev Edited September 4, 2014 by longsh07 Quote
Wasso Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 Get one super quick? Cos you'll only need a further remap with the MREV. Quote
longsh07 Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 (edited) Not possible realistically money and time wise. Plus I need to get the remap done to get rid of this P1147 caused by the berks and milltek Just going to have to suck it up really. Thinking about going supercharged in the long run and I think I read the RevUp plenum is better for FI? So maybe I'll just deal with it :\ Edited September 4, 2014 by longsh07 Quote
Wasso Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 Revup is generally better on FI over DE. Only downside is the option for second hand revup SC's due to the bracket, don't come round very often. But then, new is always better, you know its fresh and no need to worry if a second hand unit has been looked after or not. 2 Quote
