MEVI anyone?

MEVI anyone?
so im gettin the itch to add another mod to my 96 max. i was very happy with the power increase from my headers and full exhaust, but i need more power!
i just got my 5th gen clutch in, and want to get a MEVI. i found one at courtesyparts.com http://www.courtesyparts.com/Merchan...e=A32-MANIFOLD
1. what else will i need for install?
2. do i need to get an ecu upgrade? which is the best?
3. does the car need to be dyno tuned after install? ( i would think so)
4. should i buy it from courtesy parts or look for a used one on a pathfinder?
so anything you guys can recommend or tell me about your experiences would be greatly appreciated. thanks!

2. you don't need to, but it is recommended to get full benefits.
3. no idea actually...
4. try a used one in the for sale section, I don't think pathfinders have a mevi, I believe they have a VG or VE engine or something.

sorry, but my first reaction was if you are that power-hungry, you might want to look at a different platform than a 4-door family sedan. don't get me wrong. personally, i think mine is fast enough! ![+1](https://maxima.org/forums/images/smilies/+1.gif)
i would strongly suggest an upgraded ECU that will extend the redline. a MEVI is mainly used to increase the top end of the powerband where power typically drops off rapidly. paired with an ECU, they will compliment eachother and the benefits will be much greater.
i would suggest looking in the 4th gen forums for a used one for sale. save a few pennies and it may include everything you need.
as far as the pathfinder, that's news to me. i'm pretty sure they were only on foreign-manufactured VQ's.

i thought the mid to late 90's pathfinders had a mevi. guess not, but i swaer i heard that somewhere.
thanks for the input, i think im just gonna go with the ecu then. mevi might be too much work and start some problems i dont want to deal with.
where did you guys get your ecus?

^^ even if ts doesn't upgrade ecus anymore they never figured out the extended rev. The ts ecu is 500 and the jwt is 560 only a 60 dollar difference. You got to pay to play. You could also get a EU once they get everything working and figured out.
