what do you guys pay for yours? New with the kit they are $450.00

 

where can you get them?

 

Ancient chenise secret
Pic of the kit



There are not many left it says, I gotta let my driver decide if he wants it first, then Ill let you guys know where it is. But it is on the net in a few places

 

alright cool cool

what exactly does the mevi do?

 

www.courtesyparts.com

 

That kit does not include the misc. parts you will still need to hook up the MEVI.
You will need the vac. cannister
Vac. solenoid switch
RPM switch
Check valve(if not already in the cannister)
vac. hoses
and the JWT ECU

 

why do you need the jim wolf ecu?

 

For the raise rev limiter.
Without the raised rev limiter, it defeats the purpose of the MEVI.

 

<==== Pwned

Anyway, back to the original post, is that too much?

 

I paid a lot more ($650) total for the MEVI, RPM Switch, actuator. This was about 3 yrs ago when the MEVI craze was beginning.

 

all in all is it worth getting if you arent sc or turbo?

 

I thought 99s didnt have rev limiters?

 

All maximas have limiters unless you get the JWT option for an extedned or removed one. 99's cannot have it removed if that's what you mean.

 

This is incorrect. '99's can't have RAISED rev limiters (JWT doesn't work). Aparently JWT can now modify a '96 ecu to work in a '99 though. It's only been done once though. There's a thread floating around somewhere.

 

You do not need teh 7k redline to make hte MEVI effective. You need the advanced timing and fuel maps to make up for the lost power when you install the MEVI.

 

Hmmm.... Interesting... so what is the best way to go about doing the 99 with the MEVI....

 

Get the JWT Ecu

 

Get ahold of JWT have him make you one with extended rev limiter to take full advantage, or get a hold of TS and get the timing advacne etc, but w/o the limiter. Though there were people that saw some advacntages in the 1/4 w/only the MEVI, nothing else, keep in mind these were mostly automatic cars, where w/the MEVI there's a slight advantage due to the extra tall gearing.

 

how much is a MEVI installed?

if its 500ISH for the kit, how much to have someone install it?(i sure as h3ll dont have the skills to put it in)

im considering MEVI + JWT, but need a price

 

keep an Eye on the 4th gen for sale forum a deal always pops up. i got my kit for $430 shipped with everything need to wire up that bad boy.
My 1996 ECU is on its way to JWT.

 

I am charging 3.5 hours for the intall of the MEVI, and another hour for the other lil tweaks mentioned above.

 

so in total.. say 500 shipped for the MEVI kit, then how much for the work? 4.5 hours @ how much?

 

Gah, JWTs are exspensive.

To answer your question,I cannot tell you. Cali has different rates than PA


Here it is about 50-60 an hour depending where you go.

Im charging my driver 25.

Here it is!

 

mevi worth with an auto?...

 

You could just go with a Technosquare if thats all your looking for.
But to spend 500 on the MEVI and not have the raised rev limiter doesnt seem worth it to me.
The whole point of the MEVI is for the gain on the top end.

 

7k Redline w/ auto = 52-55mph first gear Maxima is no Ferarri

 

jesus i was lookin at gettin one too but damn i didnt think it be that much for a freakin MEVI..

 

the combo will run you abour $645 for the ECU and $500 for the MEVI.

 

Freakin hell...


For that price Ill run the Mac Mini.

 

yeah i paid 450 for my mevi with all parts included and 600 for a used Jwt ecu honestly ive had the set up forawhile i would much rather save the 1000 bucks...

 

Can anyone explain how the Mevi creates the extra power? What is different from our VI's? Also, does the 5th gen VI create more power than the 4th also?

 

00vi>>>>>Mevi>USIM

 

Yeah I have heard that before, whats the difference? TB diameter?

 

bump, I really need to know this.

 

00vi has longer runners so you don;t lose any lowend/midrange. It also has more high end.

Check out those dyno's

 

If you really need to know this stuff, read the faqs to better understand the MEVI.

 

over a grand...geeze...might as well go with Nitrous....

 

but u do save gas this way right???would an 00vi be cheaper?

 

It could be, Just depends on if you find an intake for a good price.
The 00VI is not a direct bolt on.
