HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! i did the same thing when i was getting parts for my MEVI....if you call the dealer they will laugh at you....you don't need it, it doesn't even exist in my opinion, the nissan dealer told me, it sounds like ppl just took a bunch of words and put them together....courtesy nissan in texas said the same thing also....so don't even bother with that one you need these:

-vaccum canister
-vaccum hoses
-vaccum soleniod(map/baro switch) i used an 87 nissan pulsar one
-summit racing rpm switch
-30amp switched relay(radioshack)
-hook up wire 16 gage(radioshack)
-spade wire connectors blue and red(radioshack)

enjoy!

No, you want it to switch over at 5300 or 5400.

Sorry if this is off topic alittle bit but would it be safe to use 14 gauge wire instead of 16 gauge? Is there any difference in performance if i were to use 14? I ask b/c i have alot of this **** laying around.

14 AWG is bigger than 16 AWG. Therefore, yes it would be safe.

Good luck Spainard. I'm looking forward to seeing your results.

Thanks Broaner- Im going to the racetrack this wednesday nite for a pre-mevi bunch of runs...Cant wait as its my first time doing the 1/4. (hoping for 14.xx)

Probably going to get the MEVI going soon after so I can do the 1/4 again and hopefully add something useful to the knowledge bank!

Middle-Eastern Variable Intake (from infinities overseas -say that 5 times fast!)
takes some midrange power and puts it at the higher RPMs. Good for those w/extended rev limiters (jwt ecu)
