Official 00VI thread

no, not really its like 6 or 7 whp difference... with spacers it'll be like a 2whp difference. i'm comparing 00vi with 4g injectors to the mevi.

with the right mods like spacers to keep the MEVI cool, mevi'd 4th gens are just as good as 00vi

The video description says the 4th gen does have headers.

hmm... i heard spacers won't do much because the 00vi is plastic and doesn't get much heat soak. mine isn't at all hot after driving a lot, just a bit warm. although some spacers would be good for just the LIM, but they don't sell kits like that
#83
oops i missed that i wonder what headers he's got on it. still pretty quick though.

me personally i want the power from idle to redline i dont want to wait for it to "kick in" like you do with the middle eastern intake

With all 5th gen parts and a proper tune you should see an improvement in fuel mileage

i have 5th gen injectors and when i finally tuned it i got an extra 60km out of a tank. feather light driving i can get 580km, during some tuning sessions (aka 3rd gear highway pulls) only got 490km/tank lol. on average i get 550km... maybe i can even get 600km if i fix my leaky egr :/

As with a majority of mods, they will not hurt fuel economy as long as you don't drive with a heavy foot. My fuel economy did not suffer when driving with an untuned 00vi on dek injectors.

Just picked up a oovi swap has a pftb, gonna be using a 5th gem valve cover and coilpacks and stock LIM and 300zx injectors. Hopefully it makes decent power will keep you guys updated

Very nice setup. I hope mine looks as good as yours. Funnily enough, IMO the MEVI is the best looking mod under the hood. Powerwise its a different story.
Now my question to you is: you've re-located your battery but went with a short ram intake. Why not CAI?

DUMB QUESTION ALERT lol
ok i blew my motor yesterday an was wondering, if i got a full de-k, will it be the same as goin 00vi on a de? ive been doin alot of reading on this thread an old ones i could find. i really dont want another de so this is my chance to go de-k, but was wondering if everything will work out like a 00vi swap, i kno the bottom ends are pretty much the same so i kno itll work its just the vacuum lines an injector clips an egr ect. stuff
also, anyone in cali do a full de-k or 00vi swap an have issues with cali smog? this is my only car an it needs to be reliable an pass cali smog. my 2yo depends on it lol

you could do a dek swap. they bolt up perfect but, they have different cams. the 4th gen cams are more aggressive if i read correctly. but even with the 00VI swap you will need to cut and splice for it to work properly. you will also need a tune or rpm switch or the VI wont activate.

Also I won't be swapping anything extra that I don't have to but what would the de cams provide over the de-k ones?
#100
Basically cause the car is too low for all that. Eventually I'll do 3inch intake with a velocity stack when I do Z maf

Car's too low for all that. When I run a 300zx maf I'll do a 3 inch intake that's about it...

#102
you might lose some low end power with the de-k cams
#103
variable intake actuator solenoid. Pretty much it's the device you hook an RPM switch too. It controls when to open and close the runners and how fast to spin the power rod. Without it, you just simply block off the hole and the power band is shifted upward. You gain more top end, but lose a little low.
#104
you have the shorty headers with the 00vi right? how do you like em and where were the gains if u don't mind me asking and was it noticeable on the butt dyno?
#106
well i had the headers before the 00VI went down, but, the performance wasnt really exstream like the VI was to be honest i dont recommend them i want to replace them i feel they're choking out my engine

So im having a bit of a problem now. The car has a misfire and the front injector is not getting power all around. I checked my grounds and there good. What could it be?
I'm running a stock LIM, 300zx injectors, 5th gen upper, 5th gen rear valve cover and 5th gen rear coilpacks.
I'm gonna try swapping injectors out but why wouldn't i get full power to that one injector? I also took the wiring harness apart to check to a broken, cracked wire and nothing.
Any help?

plug a scanner in and see what codes it's throwing. Maybe a connection got pinched and split the wire when you moved something around. If you run a scan it will tell you which cylinder is misfiring and you can pull the injector out and try swapping it with another.
#111
i did mine yesterday and pulled 9 codes LOL gonna start my own "help me" thread soon lol
#112
Thats silly, with the light you can do scanning on your own via flash codes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AYrSAtjFPI

14 codes here and running strong

Little OT but it complements the 00VI quite well....
I think though i have some power loss due to a bad coil. The power just doesnt feel like its all there.I still need to hook up my WB(lc-1) but it keeps giving me a error 2
I may see a dyno soon to hopefully confirm my suspicions.

ok well i have an issue that im pretty sure i have came to the answer but i would like some input
i have a NR-G adjustable fpr with a liquid filled gauge
my problem is a hard start when i turn the key to the on position (the position just before you start the engine)
the fuel pressure jumps to 35 then immediately drops to 0 i have no residual pressure
my question is;
how likely is it my pump is dumpin out?
what are the symptoms of a weak pump?
and what are the symptoms of a bad fpr?

but now its fixed and i would like to share what the problem was in case you run into the same problem after your swap
it was the regulator
#115
good to know... for anyone who was wondering what happened to my 00vi problem it was an ebay maf. i was doubting myself so much trying to find this dropping afr issue. i knew i wasn't doing anything wrong when putting it back together!
i replaced it with an OEM unit from the junkyard and now i have no problems whatsoever.
Lesson learned: DON"T BUY EBAY MAF!!! you can get away with it for a fully stock airbox and thats it, it did not like interacting with the vafc 2.

fml
seriously wtf is wrong with doing a bit of your own ****ing research?
fml i've only been on here for a few months and i'm already feeling like tigersharkdude.
you know that little box below the maxima.org banner and site navigation bar with the search button to the right of it?
how about you type in 00vi in it and see what comes up? then click on a link and read it. i can tell you somewhat did that, clicked this thread, didn't find much and posted...
DID YOU TRY THE OTHER LINKS?
DID YOU TRY LOOKING AT THE ALL MOTOR SECTION? stickies in there about the whole 00vi swap as well as links to useful threads and websites WITHIN that thread.
this sites been here for like 10 years. **** loads of info on everything... i guess over the years its gotten a bit messy so people have taken THEIR time (FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE) to post the most important things and have posted them as stickies in various organized sections of the site. just spend some time LURKING around and LEARNING. you don't have to post immediately
why are so many noobs too lazy to look? i'm a pot head and quite lazy and i really do find most of my general research answers about the maxima by googling and searching here. take a look a tigershardude's signature, looks like a lot of you lol
