Here's a video of me vs. mevi/jwt ecu equipped Max
let him take care of the mevi not opening situation and then do another vid. even so you guys had almost the sam mods with him having more. with just the ecu he should of walked you so i think something is wrong with his car.have him check codes, lose the weight and get that mevi working and he will walk ya .... nice vid wish i knew how to put one up

BRING IT!! Im not scared to lose

exacly why i said anyway or i could have said, maybe he asks so many more questions because he doesnt read anything first. its just somthing pointless to talkabout anyway so back to the cars

Exactly, pointless questions that can easily be answered by reading the Faq's.
Sorry bijangxe, I had to throw in my two cents.
Nice vid btw.
With the MEVI not working, both cars are more or less the same (JWT restores some midrange loss of the MEVI). Even the peak number differences from the dyno's can be attributed to pull-to-pull variation. The extra person is a big handicap.
thats interesting. very strange. What does the MEVI sound like when it opens? ive had my for about 3 weeks and i cant really hear it open. i mean i havent listened real hard but maybe im retarded. I hope its working... i mean the actuator moves when i hit 5200. sigh...
Ok, lets put this to another test. I will race bijan with my JWT ECU & MEVI combo. I am pretty sure my MEVI is working right. Heck I will even carry the extra person.
When you comin to ATL Mike?
OK
This is Bruce. I need to clarify a few things. The dyno posted above was where Bijan manually opened the MEVI for me. When he didn't open it I was close to stock #'s. Either way my #'s are less than my previous dyno when I did NOT have the JWT ECU or the MEVI.
but you can see where the JWT ECU gave me 6 WHP and 11 WTQ over stock ECU.
I appreciate Bijan's help and patience that night, he really helped me assess how slow my car is right now. And in case yall haven't seen his other vids, his car is fast.
My MEVI did NOT open a single time we raced. I hope there will be a fair rematch for comparison purposes.

Brian when you figure it out let us know cuz i am interested in getting a vi with ecu upgrade, and i would like to know what to avoid to not have to go through these problems, i hope you figure it out soon, i know it must be annoying you huh?
the only thing about this thread that is kind of annoying is that bijan made it seem like there was absolutely nothing wrong with your car in his first post other than saying that mevi/jwt are not giving enough power. Obviously from those dynos bijan knows that there is obviously something wrong. so stop riding your your high horse bijan, cuz you will never beat a fully working vi with ecu upgrade and you know it.

It's just a difference in tone when it opens vs when it's not. When I had mine, I could never tell the point at which it opened (some people say they could actually hear it open, I never was able to) but if I ran it out to redline, by the time I was at 6500 or so I could tell whether or not it had opened or not. It's pretty subtle to my ears actually but if you know what you are listening for you can hear it.
Engine screams once the MEVI kicks in. Sound is not as pronounced as say a VTEC civic w/ intake but if u listen closely the tone will get 1/2 octave higher.
When my Harlan RPM swtich was failing and on its last leg of life, it would switch on and off repeatedly once past 5k. So my valves were opening and closing and I can definetly hear the pitch changing. Ordered the Summit switch and the max is a highway screamer once again.

Since the MEVI was installed on my car I'd say it has worked 50% of the time. The problems are very annoying. When I first got the MEVI I bought it without any real knowledge of how it worked, this was my first mistake of many. It's a pretty big mod so I would recommend you read everything you can about it and buy the ECU upgrade first.
Of course you should buy the Summit RPM switch, I'd say it works at least 9 out of ten times.
