M35 Vq25det Runner Spacer

[jasevr4]

Awesome, thanks mate.

[JayM35]

PM me your VIN and I will see what yours is compatible with (VQ25det is the same as VQ23de only ).

I am sure I could make one up for you if I had a gasket.

Have you put a plenum spacer to increase the volume of your plenum (should possibly be the same as VQ35de)?

Nah haven't tried a plenum spacer, where can I find those?

I am pretty sure that your plenum is the same as a V35/G35, but I'll check tonight just to make sure.

If it is the same, you can get one from the US (eBay is easy) OR my mate has an aluminium one he made for his V35. I will talk to him tonight and see if wants to let it go.

Isn't it better to have one that doesn't trransfer too much heat to your intake plenum?

Yes... with a runner spacer it definitely is.

With a V35 plenum spacer it makes no difference as the spacer is installed between the top and bottom sections of the standard cast alloy plenum.

Why 19mm? Is there a reason for that size?

[scotty nm35]

While cad modeling the intake plenum cam found that exact size to gain massive midrange torque.

[iamhe77]

lol... thanks mate... although the torque increase is there I have yet to dyno it.

Would be tricky to get an accurate comparison though as the engine needs to be cold to install the spacer kit.

Ryan, as per the first post... the original was 17mm as that was the size aluminium we had access to. It was modelled of the 20mm aluminium TEPS unit. When I switched to Bakelite, I wanted to go with a taller spacer to see if there was a noticeable performance increase (unknown) and also so it could soak up a bit more heat from the engine due to the larger area.

So does that mean if a 30mm spacer would fit under the bonnet you'd do it?

I'm thinking if the engine cover fits back over the engine with the spacer installed, I should be able to fit a spacer and a strut brace no problems. Hopefully we'll find out tonight

i dont care what cam tells you.

the cover DOES NOT fit back on with the spacer.. it touches the bonnet

[iamhe77]

Aaron, go talk to Nick "nickcorr" about that.

His has been installed a lot longer than yours.

I'd certainly try it out.

Could do it too - the PM35 bonnet has a lot more clearance than the NM35 bonnet.

Are you physically unable to close the bonnet or is it that you think/know/hear its touching once it does eventually close?

well last time me and scott tried my fron bar was off.

i could clearly see it touching. and it hack up the foam on the bonnet.

Actually I thought it was one of your more literate posts.

yeh???

[jasevr4]

Just before I start getting into this... should the car be cold before doing this job?

[ironpaw]

yep...

unless you have asbestos gloves...
