The site explains it all ...

 

me no understnad... it says its relay that activates the MAP switch. What is a MAP switch?

 

Manifold Absolute Pressure swtich, read the MEVI FAQ:s and get aquianted with the terminology, EXACTLY how it works, and the .orgers different ways of setting it up .. i.e using a relay or not ...

PM me for some details.

 

Use the 00VI, and call it a day. It's very easy, grinding the coil mounts down with a file takes 5 minutes. Look at the area underneath the curve between the two manifolds, and think about the 400-600 you will spend on an ecu to get the rev limiter and get your low-mid power back. Dont be afraid to try something because it involves a little work

 

im not afraid to try it becuase of the work. Im afraid of fukking something up and the down time.

 

Downtime...one weekend AT THE MOST. That's if you take breaks, naps, get drunk, high, play a game or two of Madden 06, and make time for meals. Taking the USIM off and putting the VI on is easy. The hardest part of the install is figuring out the vacuum lines. And then if you search, you can look at other peoples' threads about installing the VI coughMEcough. You could easily have this done in an afternoon. Ask for help from some Florida ORG members. Kevlo911, I know there is another. Dont sell yourself short

 

is the gains of the 00Vi that much more then the mevi?

i told you to look at this already, but since you apparently havent, scope it out. its not always about peak numbers when it comes to a dyno

 

yes ive already read that. But can u even feel that on the butt dyno? i didnt ever feel much gains for the y pipe when i installed that

http://forums.maxima.org/showthread....=1#post4210442 so that is everything i need?

 

I could immediately feel the increase in torque after switching from MEVI to 00VI. If you go from USIM to 00VI you might not be able to feel anything except at higher rpm.

 

what are the gains from the MEVI and the 00vi in whp and in hp
for a 4thgen

 

peak is probably 10-15. But making over 40 whp at 6.5k rpm with the VI vs the USIM is a huge difference.

 

*HINT*
I just found a way for the MEVI owners to get more power through out the whole power range over the 00VI

With a liltle tinkering there is no way you can improve the design of the 00VI Well me and my buddies couldn't, because, IT"S PLASTIC!

Anywho I don't have any real Dyno #'s to compare to but my butt dyno tells me it Kicks both 00VI and the crappy 02+VI

I'm going to be like SR20DEN and call this my SECERET SAUCE MANIFOLD HMM HMM OH HA HA HA . Only because I can sorry.......
Just be on the look out for the record.....

 

Actually, you can ..

No dyno no care

The record, or the dyno?

SSIM for 4th gens .. I think SR actually had some thoughts on this awhile back ...

 

holy moly 40 whp at 6.5k sweet

 

That used to be the average for the MEVI ... (10 people or so) :thumbup:

 

Let's see it mang!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

so with the 00vi it should pull more whp?

 

more low end torque. lol i got yelled at that question so ill answer it.

http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=363625 check out that thread and scan over the dyno

 

defiently! so i can do this b4 i put mine on!

 

Yeah yeah yeah get that thing on the track

 

so waht did you do to the mevi?

 

Not just yet, not untill I get actual Dyno numbers and compare.
Then I got to make sure it holds up. Drive it around for awhile and see if there's any more room for improvement.

My suggestion to you is get the 00VI it's the best of the bunch unmoded. A little more work but like everyone here says it's not all that bad a few hours and your done the vaccum lines is what your going to need help on and maybe TB and stuff everything else is cake. If my SSIM goes through it won't be cheap $$$$$$$

 

when we did the 00VI on my car the vacuum lines wasnt really a concern, more figuring out the pcv valve problem, we just placed the vacuums the way they were back on the regular manifold...

But this doesnt hold true for 96+ maximas that have that EVAP thing all over the place there... mine was alot simpler I believe.

 

Thanks for heating up the "Battle of the Manifolds".

 

lol i want to know what he did!

 

is this true? it makes sense that you wont have to grind the coil bosses anymore but will this bolt on to the engine with no fabrication and will the coil packs still bolt on? seems like a good way to go if it works and ive read alot of 00vi threads and never encountered anyone taking this path.

 

This works, but you will also have to use the 5th gen rear ignition coils. There are a few people who have this setup (myself included as of last weekend).

 

how hard is it to swap to 5th gen ignition coils

 

No difficulty at all.

 

All you need is 5th gen vavle cover

 

Forgive my noobism, but is the valve cover just the stupid piece of metal over the engine????

 

Front valve cover is the metal under your plastic Nissan v63000 cover. The rear valve cover is under the IM and you slide your coil packs through there

 

You must really love your max...

 

Or are you talking about the Intake Manifold? Im sure those stupid pieces of money serve some purpose, such as the valve covers covering up our cams and spark plugs

 

Ah got it ... yes I do not like my max much. It is auto and FWD. No I wasn't talking about the IM.

 

so do a 5spd swap...

or get a RWD car

 

But a 5 spd swap costs 2K. That's a lot when the car is worth 4.5K

 

Damn I spent only 900 for my swap...
