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.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
