Does anyone have an aftermarket ECU without an MEVI?
Its seems that everyone on this forum who has an aftermarket ECU like the JWT also has a MEVI. So they can take better advantage of it with the increased redline from the upgraded ECU. But does anyone have just a peformance ECU? Are the gains from it alone still good? Worth the $550?

dont mean to thread *****, but umm...when someone has their ecu modified and the rev limiter is set higher, like 7200rpms or something, how does this not hurt the engine? The limit is 6550 for a reason i thought. what allows the engine to go up to 7200rpms or so and not overheat or damage.

Im pretty sure he has a GForce ECU too which arent as good as the JWT from what Ive heard. But then again I am convinced that he is the best driver on the org so it could just be the driver.

i had the JWT ECU for a week before installing the MEVI. from 2k-5k rpms...the car is a beast. the torque was unbelievable, the car would bark gears and traction was a problem. with the ECU and no MEVI the car is a stop light animal, but of course you run out of steam at about 80mph. once you get the ECU and MEVI, your top end (highway, or from a roll) is superior and still have the midrange of stock ECU and USIM.

Now that I've had both mods, I wish I had the JWT ECU first. I feel the JWT alone gives better gains than the MEVI alone. It feels like I added a Y-pipe again. But the two are just begging to be put together on the same car.

With the two of them together I'm in 14.0s and 14.1s consistently on street tires and my trap speeds are sick (look at the sig).

Well as long as you order an ECU and send it out to Avalon or JWT or Cattman it should take 5-6 weeks and plus youll have no down time on your car...then when you go to sell your car you can put your stock unit right back into the car your selling and come on here and sell the JWT modified ECU for what you paid + some cause that person wont have to wait any time or buy a core

I Have the G Force ecu without the MEVI. My midrange is nice. I dyno'd a week ago and got 183 hp and 197 torque. I gained only 4 hp at 5400 rpms but I gained 4 to 11 hp and 5 to 12 ft lbs of torque from 3200 to 5400 rpms. Traction is an issue more than ever but I love it.

Why did you revive a 2 year old thread to ask that question? Why not go to JWTs site and find out?

Because he just joined. The post right above his, is you asking where you could buy a ecu and a mevi.
