Do some research on the MEVI, the info's out there just have tos earch for it. Some people still sell it or some nissan dealer was selling, I'm not too sure anyways, here one link to it, but don't bother iansw, ebcause he doesnt sell them anymore, hence the top of the page disclaimer, so just use this link as info rather than contacts.

BTW,

I recommned a JWT/MEVI combo.

Your VI is probably not working, mine was like that for a while, it would work when the car was stopped with the hood open but when actually moving it would not seem like it and i couldnt feel it, then I fixed it by using another rpm switch and would definately feel the added power in the 5.5-6.5k rpm badn (before the JWT, 7.2k after), with all the problems and issues with not getting it to work all the time, some may argue that it is not worth it, but I guess I lucked out because lately mine has worked religiously, and if you can't feel the gains, it's not working properly because you can definately feel it in the high RPM range, typical gains at redline were 35-40+ FWHP.

This mod is for people that do a lot of highway driving, here you can definatly feel/appreciate much more, but for around town under 60mph you won't appreciate it as much as the stock manifold, infact it's outpereformed by the stock piece in this power area.

flywheel, and maybe a udp, or you could always turbo/supercharge

I would definitely recomend the ECU. This will be the next big power upgrade. For me its probably going to be the TS because I don't want a VI. It will be a while before I get mine though.

A flywheel and UDP only free up power. The UDP theoretically helps and I'm sure it does minisculy. But you can do that power free up times 2 by removing the A/C. Flywheel frees up power once the car is rolling but the more difficult and inconsistant launches negate that power usually.
