I can't remember what thread it was but i know what i saw. It clearly showed that the MEVI was better,
Does anyone have any proof of the 00VI power claims over the MEVI? Plz, let me see the dynos! Because everyone is planning to get an ECU and basic bolt ons, please use dynos with an aftermarket ECU, exhaust and intake.

I'd estimate that changing just ECUs and intake manifolds would yeild these results as far as 1/4 mile is concerned.
JWT + 00VI would be fastest, followed by JWT + MEVI, then TS + 00VI, TS+MEVI, 00VI, and finally MEVI.

I would have to say MEVI and JWT is the way to go.... for the simple reason it is a 100% bolton.... no need to fab anything. People are Assuming the JWt+00VI would be better but never really seen any direct before an after dyno's and there is alot of fabrication needed.
In an off topic i am selling my MEVI manifold if anyone is looking for one.... some one hit my car today and i need quick cash for my deductable.. Pm me if interested.

BSwithTF dynoed before and after and gained over 10 WHP/10 WTQ peak and power basically throughout the rev-range. He put down 195 WHP with the JWT/00VI combo. This is in an auto btw. That's what most MEVI/JWT 5-SPEEDS put down.

JWT is better with any VI (MEVI or 00VI) because it raises the rev limiter and the TS doesn't (TS can raise the rev limiter on SOME ECUs but not others for some strange reason.) When I say JWT I mean any ECU with a raised rev limiter and when I say TS I mean without a raised rev limiter. A TS ECU with a higher rev limiter would be just as good as a JWT with raised rev limiter.

There's plenty of dyno evidence that the 00VI makes more power at every point in the powerband than the MEVI does.
MEVI is still great because of ease of installation, you can pass smog tests with it, etc. 00VI is for those people who don't care about ease of installation and who don't have to worry about smog testing or code testing, etc.

If I ever go VI (most likely next winter) I'd heavily lean towards the 00vi variant. More fun to install

Absolutely you can. Transmission type doesn't affect the dyno curve it only affects the peak numbers. You are totally off base if you think the results will be any different with a 5spd than with an auto, except for the peak numbers.

either someone on the org will be selling their's, or you'll have to get one off a 00-01 Maxima. Also, go to the all motor forums, check out the links with useful info, and you can see the difference between the MEVI and 00VI

Either way, I'm not going to spend anymore cash on mods until I replace my old, rusted and sticking brake parts. I'll keep working with the MEVI. I'll be heading to the track because thats where it all matters anyway. The MEVI/TS ECU with the raised limiter is still explosive.

of course its still explosive compared to the USIM. Had it not been for the 00VI, i would have gone the MEVI route. There'd be no need for you to go through the hassle of switching the 00VI when you still get good gains with the MEVI.

Actually the only thing that makes the MEVI complete is the ECU upgrade. Without it the car is boring.

yeah, not having the 7100 rev limiter to access all of that power would be lame. Thats why i like the 00VI, the ECU is not absolutely necessary to reap the benefits from it. Having the extended limiter on with the 00VI would just put us autos into a nicer spot in the rpm range for the next gear. Considering how the USIM drops off power at 5600, and the both VIs continue past 6500, either one would be just fine.
