i dunno if this is old news. but the Variable intake runners for 4th gens are $399.

Not bad at all! Wish i actually HAD that kind of cash money! Been a long time Since I've seen a post by you Cheston...

 

i'd buy it if I had the mula.

 

399 is cheap... considering the fact that ppl were paying upwards of 6xx like two years ago for the same thing. and this comes with covers and all the hardware.

 

"Additional parts will be required and are not provided by Courtesy Nissan."

What additional parts?.....gauging interest over here...

Actually, I think I saw some ads that have the MEVI for over 600 right now.

 

If I were to buy this intake, where would I get these extra parts?

 

Id buy it if I could upgrade my ECU

 

you need a harlan switch i think, and to be honest I'm not sure what else

 

Yea, this seems to be a turn off...they tell you that you need extra parts but don't tell you what parts or even where to get them. The last thing I want to happen is to spend 400, have my intake manifold off, try to put that on and find out I'm missing a gasket or a hose or something that nissan dealers in the US don't sell

 

im sure its easy stuff to come by...I'm not a mevi head myself... All i know is you need a harlan switch!

 

Visit one of the many MEVI threads on maxima.org for a complete parts list - it appears in several places.

 

can someone tell me what are all the parts that i will need to install this before i go out and buy it

 

It's already been discussed what parts are missing from the courtesy MEVI. It was mentioned months ago when they first started selling them.

 

Yep .

 

Does anyone have a pic of this installed on their car?

 

They are all over the place, i know raiker has one on his car.

 

Yo is that part available thru nissan dealer? If yes I might be able to get pretty big discount on it at least 10%

 

And a vacuum canister with a check valve, and some vacuum tubing.

 

Almost forgot:

AND SOME LOCTITE FOR THE BUTTERFLY SCREWS!

 

install kit is needed according to what i have read. it is around 100$ from iansw

 

Man if I could get rid of my d@mn rev-limiter one of those would be on order by now

 

here is a site with instructions

..so all it does it just open up for more air at higher rpms???

 

Read teh FAQs... there are a BUNCH of threads on there about the MEVI. 399$ is a good price, but then you gotta get the switch, vacuum canistor, a lot of tubing, and Ts, and electrical wires... but... the MEVI is worth it... even without the ECU

 

im kinda mad i just bought one from courtesy nissan like a month ago for 450 i could of saved 50 bucks.for everything else u need its gonna be like 150 to 175.you can get all the stuff you need from your local nissan except the rpm switch.and that u can get at summitracing.com.if anyone wants to know the part numbers for the instal kit im me my s/n is VQPowered313.

 

LMAO!!! that would suck so badly. After getting all the extra parts, it will come out to be the same price. Harlan switches are around 100 bucks plus the other stuff will put u up there as well. not a deal at all IMO.
