I'm Sorry if this was asked before i was wondring if there is a difference in performance if i put a mevi on a 99 max without the ECU?? (If it's worth the buck) thanx also any one has it in a 99 max?? how does it feel thanx.....

 

People will argue up and down about whether it's worth it without the ECU. Best way to know is to do it yourself and find out.

 

Look for hte MEVI FAQ's Link in the FAQ's

 

ive seen before and after dynos. you will be losing midrange but gaining top end. so altogether, with a 6,500 redline, you will see a difference of about 1hp. the only way the mevi can be taken full advantage of is with the extended redline.

 

aha i see so it's pointless to get it without the ecu and the case is there is no ECU upgrde for a 99 so i'm MEVI'less heh ok thanx for the info.....

 

yea were lucked out. no ecu for 99 so mevi is not worth the upgrade. they say its impossible to unlock the codes of the 99's therefore we'll never see an upgraded ecu for that year.

 

what is my car was made in 98?? ...... maybe i'll be the lucky one heh

 

Read the MEVI FAQ... it's got a lot of info in there. I've got one on my 99. Basically you shift the powerband from low-end/midrange to midrange/top-end. You'll be slower than a non-MEVI at low speeds, catch up in a 1/4 mile, then be faster.

Personally I am very happy with mine. While it's a tad bit slower 0-60, it really changes the feel of the engine. Instead of power surges you get a smooth revving engine that flies all the way up to the redline. You're no longer disappointed when you hit ~5500 RPM or so, and downshifting to pass someone or merging onto the highway is much more satisfying.

All that being said, I'd probably put it towards the bottom of the list of things to get. Make sure you have an intake, y-pipe, suspension and whatnot before you get yourself a MEVI.

 

Nope.TC said that there won't any 98-99 ECUs.

 

thanx Jeff i'll think about it more ... i got intake and a y pipe already suspension with 17's is next probably....
