Finally got car back. Got Q's (Mevi)
 

So a 20k mile jdm engine was put in. The engine was an import from japan and had a mevi on it. While looking at the engine today i saw the 2 plugs that go to the thing that opens the valve up for the mevi had nothing to them. What am i going to need to get the MEVI to actually open up and get the gains from it. I know alot of people have a setup that includes a LED for when the mevi opens up so i want to include that too. Let me know whats available and where to get it. thanks

Glad your car is back on the road. MEVI was not JDM - it is from the middle-east.

That is where we first started to get them from, but that doesn't mean they aren't JDM.

I stand corrected then... :hmmrun: Thanks Stephen.

Get a summit switch, and wire up everything just the way i have it.

What is MEVI?

Don't flame me.

Trav

Middle East Variable Intake.

So-called because a guy in the middle east first started selling them to org members.

It is an intake manifold that has a second chamber that opens up at higher rpm, resulting in an increase in volumetric efficiency due to a dynamic supercharging effect. The chamber allows a shorter path for pressure waves to bounce back to the intake valves. At high rpm the shorter path results in better timing of the returned pressure wave with valve opening.

How much does all that cost? I think the KS on this engine was damaged so im gonna use the one i replaced from the old one, but it runs so much nicer now im so happy =)

you will need
1.a summit racing rpm switch
2.ac delco vacuum solenoid
3.vacuum canister with built in check valve from nissan dealership
4.and 2 feet of vacuum hose might need more might need less depends where you put certain things

I still have to check what is actually on the engine. Maybe some of that stuff is already on there. But say it isnt how much do you think it will cost?

post pics of the setup and maybe we can help you

ill try and post pics by friday im at school all day tomarrow and thursday. If i need everything though curious about price. I have a ks code too with it so im gonna throw my new KS from my old engine on there. I cant wait for the full potential of power i have a feeling that the ks being bad is also hurting hp

1..nissan vac cannister(a.k.a pressure tank) (call nissan dealer nissan part # 22370-2y500)price varied$26.50-$30.00

2..vacuum solenoid(ac delco solenoid $9.95)GM PART #1997152 type this number in the upper left corner slot at www.gmpartsdirect.com

3..summit racing rpm switch-$45.95 www.summitracing.com,or 1-800-230-3030

4..hoses and thats it.

thanks guys ur always great help

Without an ecu upgrade you will not see the full gains of the MEVI

Ya i know but thats not a top concern right now. First i just want to get the MEVI actually working then when i actually got money ill get a jwt.
