NWP Engineering Phenolic Thermal Intake Spacers - 4th gen VQ30DE Maxima

I sure it will benefit from the lower temps but I just want to see if a mevi will see upper rpms gains and if there is enough gain in the midrange to makeup the loss from the usim to mevi convert

is it possible to buy individual parts of the kit? also is the TB spacer thick enough for a nitrous nozzle?

And I'm sorry, the 4th gen kit will only be sold as a complete kit just like the VQ35DE, VE30DE, and VG30E Kit.

Yes. The 4th gen Thermal Intake Spacer Kit is expected to be released this week.
The price has been set at $215 plus $10 shipping. I have also chosen to include a Titanium Nitride Coated Step Drill Bit for an extra $10. This will help when enlarging the bolt holes in the stock EGR tube.
We should have full pictures available on our website by this Thursday.

Within the next couple months, it's possible we can sell the LIM spacers by themselves if there is a demand for it, especially if we decide not to make a full DEK kit.
We had this delima with the VQ35DE Maxima/Altima Kit. We thought about offering different stages of the kits. But honestly, the full kit is what was tested to show the HP increase. The full kit is what the customers got. We didn't want to offer a particular spacer by itself when we felt this would not provide any noticeable HP increase.
But the LIM Spacers are only 1/16" thick, so they don't shift the power band at all. If you also went with a 1/4" UIM Spacer, it could possibly help. It would probably shift the torque band slightly lower and would improve airflow slightly since you are eliminating the stock gaskets. But without a major decrease in intake manifold temperatures you could still possibly lose a little top end power. At this point, I don't know if we will conduct any testing on the 00vi. If someone would like to volunteer their time and would pay dyno costs, I would be willing to work out a deal with a prototype kit for the DEK.
