Plenum Spacer Vq25Dd ?

[Phil Stagea]

Hello, I'm a new member and would like to ask, I have recently purchased a 2003 Stagea VQ25DD, and am wondering whether to install a 5/16 Plenum Spacer, My questions, will this help lack of low down torque and as there doesn't seem to be any listed for VQ25 will the G35 one fit, it appears in the photo's to look the same. My problem is I am happy with the car as I couldn't get a 3ltr one when looking, I just find they don't seem to have much umphhh when pulling up a steep driveway?? Hopefully this makes sense, my wife likes the car, I just want it to be a little more exciting, but for the least amount of bucks. Cheers.

with the 17mm plenum spacer we use on the VQ25DET it improved midrange torque...............dont know if this info helps at all

Hello, thanks for replying, could you tell me which kit you have and how much please, what size motor where you going to put it on, and if I can ask, why are you not using it??

I'm fairly sure the dd manifolds are different to the det's.

[slippylotion]

Yeah I thought they are similar to the vq35

Ok, I think people are confusing two different types of spacer.

The one Iain has, goes beneath the inlet manifold and has a row of 6 holes, right?

And the OP is looking for a 5/16ths spacer, which generally looks like this- correct?

Truth is, I don't know anyone with a VQ25DD with a manifold spacer, and don't know if they are the same plenum. Good luck OP.

Heres one for sale: linky

Those vq35 manifolds still have the 6 hole gasket underneath.

Agreed Scotty, but I don't see anyone making those spacers for vq35's.

The Idea of the plenum spacer (in the pic above) is that cyl 1 and 2 are starved of air in the stock position.They are pinched into the front. By raising the Plenum, it allows better breathing for the front cylinders. Thats the idea anyway. After saying all that, I don't have one, nor will I bother

yeah i have the 6 hole type that sits under the plenum.

It doesn't.

Only VQ25det and VQ23de strangely

LOL... Got one sitting around somewhere... and on an HKS powered V35.
