Can someone let me know if there is a price diff between ISO and IS Copper....

Is that to say, if you drive to the snow, once, your car will die?

I occasionally visit skiing resorts....

The ISO kit comes with a valve that you open when the temperature is really cold (but subsequently reduces the benefit of the ISO spacer). It certainly won't kill you car. The main difference is the copper kit doesn't need this valve.

Unless you live in the snow I wouldn't worry about it.

The Motordyne has consistently better reviews, especially the ISO version.

I read that although skunk2 may be easier to install but skunk2 spacer is 5/8" instead of MD which is available in 5/16" or 1/2".

since the skunk2 is higher than 1/2" with the engine cover on it actually rubs the bonnet a little bit... fine if you want to leave the engine cover off but you may get signs of scrubbings on your plastic engine cover.

So to make sure i understand correctly rs73, after the install of the plenum, skun2 or MD, you will be able to place the cover on, but it will scrub?

Or is only an issue with the Skunk2?

I'd like to keep the cover.... but if the trade off is HP, happy to rid it.

The reason I'm going with the ISO Copper version is that it does all the things that the ISO thermal version does but does not need the CCV. Instead it has a copper plating to install on the throttle body. The CCV requires you to cut one of your engine lines to install and if you are going into snowy conditions you need to open the value to let hot air into the throttle body so it doesn't freeze. The copper version with is install and forget. Also means it can be fully removed without leaving any trace behind.

EDIT:

How important is it to install the ccv. i live in an area where it doesn't get that cold. should i install it and leave it closed?

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.

Its not necessary to install the CCV but it is better if you do. Iso Thermal does not make HP but it does prevent the loss of it. Its good for about 1-2 HP by preventing excessive plenum heat soak as your engine becomes hot. And yes, you will generally leave the CCV closed. Iso Thermal or Copper Iso Thermal is beneficial no matter how hot or cold it gets in your area.

I really want one of these but I cannot see anywhere, other than the manufacturers website, a before and after dyno run. If anyone can show me a 10-12 horse power gain, I'd be in

Cheers

Geoff

lolz.. the group buy is going to end VERY soon, payment are being gathered and order will be put soon, i think..

IF THERE IS really a 10horse power gain, i m guessing some ecu mod on it..

as usual, any mod to reach its full potential, ecu has to be mod/tuned..

anyone can correct me if i m wrong, coz i just started learning all these stuff as well..

I've read a few threads which say otherwise, but cbf digging them up. By most accounts, this is acknowledged as one of the best n/a mods for a 350z/v35.

Anyway we've got enough takers, so up to you.

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
