JWT and Technosquare ECU's generally do the same thing, but JWT offers the option to extend your rev limit. Mine is at 7200. As far as I know, Technosquare doesn't offer the extended rev limit - whether or not they've changed that policy, i don't know. On this site, Technosquare ECU's generally sell for between $300 and $375. MEVI + Technosquare ECU, your car will have new life and the installation is not as in depth as the 00VI. Best of all, you will probably have a little money left over if your budget is $800. You should be able to install the MEVI in a day.

A MEVI for 300-375, and a JWT ECU with extended rev limit. complete 00VI "kits" tend to be priced at at least $400, and there is a lot more work involved in that installation. People sometimes sell the JWT ecu's in the classifieds section of this site, but if you buy it directly from JWT (http://www.jimwolftechnology.com), it will cost about $595 and their turnaround time is pretty bad. You can also get a Technosquare ECU. These appear in the classifieds section quite often and they are cheaper.

i wish my 00vi cost $400, its up to around the $1.5k mark, stupid shipping and remoteness.
Don't do a 00vi or even a mevi, take your $800 to a performance shop and and ask them to make your car faster. your not resourceful enough to tackle even the mevi by yourself.
don't PM people for advise,
1) It's rude,
2) If someone is silly enough to help you and answers your question, there is no way for anyone else to learn anything from it. if the thread gets created about something that someone hasn't asked specifically before, then at least everyone who doesn't know has that information when they search.
i don't have any problem with someone asking me a question that i know is difficult to search from if you don't know specifically what to look for.. but for goodness sake there are stickies with answers to your question.
on a final note, if you really want to modify cars, you really need to understand how a car works otherwise your going to stuff something up. so hit up www.howstuffworks.com.

1) find a performance shop that knows about mevi or 00vi swaps. the only way that will happen is if they have done it on an .org members car. even then they would be clueless to sourcing one (mevi).
2) it is not rude to pm somebody for advice. most members are happy to help. i prefer aim, quicker answers.
3) this is an awful thread and the information could have easily been found even without search (stickies).
my recommendation would be drop it on emanage. you might be able to tune out a couple ponies, plus it will make every upgrade from there on out that much more beneficial.

also yeah he might be a newb and all but everyone has potential to become a good mechanic. sometimes it just take getting used to something to gain knowledge about something.
Also some people dont mind being pm'd about a good question that they have done before in the past. since ive done my swaps and what not i have had alot of pm's about them. and i have no problem answering them.
just my .02

you really wanna know? coz i dont think youre ready going from how the thread is goin...dude freakin ay...holy how slow can ppl be...if you can install or know about y pipes and exhaust you should be able to find what an 00vi is or mevi....i joined this community not too long ago, and within a couple days i knew what those were...do some search...not necessarily on the org but you can also google...btw if you didnt know those are zeros on 00vi....its not so much as ppl are mean or asses its just everyday ppl join the org and everyday those same ppl ask the same exact thing...(1) it gets really really really really really really really repetetive (get the idea?)..(2) its really easy to find a lot of the noob answer if you just work your fingers a little on the keyboard, if an 11yr old can find good **** on the web you can find the answers on this site easily...so for the record ppl are not mean they are just sick and tiered...im sure if you were someone who knows a lot about something and day in and day out the same question is being asked im sure you would be tiered of it too...come on man seriously...get some taco bell and think outside the box if you cant figure it out...tadaw biatch

ok well here is one for u have anyone ever heard of cattman performance for ecu's did anyone here get one and what is it like?
06-08-2008, 08:11 AM

The ECU's listed on Cattman's webiste are actually JWT ECU's, and from what I have heard everyone that has one loves it, the one and only main complaint was the customer service and the turnaround for the ECU.

plus you could almost get the eu for the same price

Can you extend the rev limiter on the eu like you can do with the ecu? I think thats the main reason why everyone gets them but if you can extend the rev limiter with the eu then that is everything you would possibly need.

Wow I never really did the research on the eu mainly because I was just going for an easy plug and play type controller so I went with the VAFC-II. Recently I have been thinking about the extended rev limiter so I may switch out the VAFC-II for the eu. I dont know why anyone would ever go with an ecu instead of the eu as you can do pretty much everything with it from what I have read, the only reason really I see stopping some may be the wiring piece of the install.

and the ecu is basically your plug n play literally. EU is little more difficult than that. plus with a eu a wideband is a must and also a laptop is a must as well(not required but makes life easier). most people dont want to fork out that kind of cash. but obviously the benifits of the EU imo is a lot greater than a jwt. especially if you decide to go fi or do a engine build.

That's worth a bad a$$ed pat on the back.
Best photo evar.
I think that newbies home screen should look like htat until a certain time period.
^^^that is one of the best ideas I've heared in a long time here. It would also encourage contributions so they could change it

I have a b14 sentra too. 97 auto
Its reliable as it gets nothing has ever gone wrong with it
the gas mileage difference isnt that huge unless i speed. Thats one thing the sentra definitely has going for it, it cant speed.
I would say for a freeway drive the sentra gets around 5mpg better.
Youve got to realize something, the maxima ( or i30 in my case) doesnt actually weigh a LOT more. I dont know why either . Thats the coolest thing about this fourth gen maxima... its light.
my sentra is getting a bit more tired than my i30 too. But I drive them back to back and the gas mileage is never a huge difference. The epa numbers on the sentra are more inflated and it gets nowhere near 39, it gets low 30s on its best day.
The grass is always greener but Ive owned a loooot of economy cars, I used to deliver pizza back in the day.
civic, protege, sentra, metro..... yech! never going back.
economy car gas mileage is a trip, they figure it out from the emissions, then subtract the weight figure out the tire width etc. They dont even write in the gear ratios.
It just shows you it means nothing the margin of error is plus minus 10 mpg. somehow the corrola gets better mileage than the yaris? The hell it does the corrolla comes in a california version only so it skews the test.
nothing can magically change the 3.0 liter displacement vs the 1.6 liter displacement but i can tell you first hand that its not big enough to putt putt around for me anymore.
a sentra is super reliable though i will admit my sentra has never had a problem at all
theres definitely a point where a small engine is working too hard to get good gas mileage... like the volkswagon van example, those get below 20 mpg in reality. terrible gas mileage in reality comparable to a huge american truck
