mevi or 00vi?
Yeah, he more than likely doesnt know what he's talking about. Can probably get away with the swap for no more than 1200. If you dont like your car, then sell it. Or just drive it and dont ask pointless questions. Give it to someone who can appreciate the car for what it's worth.

I know a lot about cars other then specifics about internals, but when it comes to ripping them apart ... not me. Other org members charge labor too. I have made threads in the South East and one person responded and said $1000. Any shop is going to charge that or more in labor.
Yikes. Not cool. I learn about my car on the fly. Me and other Upper Midwest org members work on our cars together. Dave Sz doesnt charge me for the assistance he's given me with my car. 1000 is pretty steep. When I want to do my 5 spd swap, I wont know how to do everything, but with people working together, it gets the job done. Just hold a meet at your house, and tell other GA members you'll feed them and house them if necessary

Hmmm that is not a bad idea. It does seem more like team effort holding a meet at a house versus calling out one member to do it. I might have to do that for 00VI too. The only thing that holds me back on 00VI is the drilling into the lower. I am confident about parts needed for 00VI but when it comes to 5 Spd swap ... damn. Plus the how-to doesn't have it all. I think it is the smartest to get a 5 Spd ECU+TCU.

Stephen Max you should be my dad. You are the 00VI installing God. Does anyone have just a printable template of the drill points? Me being Jewish ... I am going to find the cheapest way to do this. BTW, i may need an adaptor plate from you for A33 TB to A32 IACV. What do you charge?
LOL you should open a business Stephen Max. And then ... lol ... write off all your mods and say it is to advertise your methods and skills for your business.

Bump on the MEVI mod..

"*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.....
JapmaxSE,
Any good news for us MEVI maxes ???? Is this something MEVI owners could do?? With, of course, a bottle of your $ecret $auce installed........

Unless you know or have a machine shop, welding machine pipebending machine and measuring tools etc. etc. Your not going to do this in your garage. So that being said I don't think it will happen. I only can share the design and provide some pics and I don't think any of that is going to happen any time soon.

If you've discovered a new manifold design (SVI) based on the lower end of a MEVI, then I'm interested in learning more.... I listened to JClaw when he released his traction bars, bought one of the first 10 sets of Jbars and adapted them to my '99 automatic w/N2O - and they do exactly what he promised. I know you are a serious racer, and if you say it works, then it works. Will you share - or sell - your secrets?
Who cares who has access to what, the real accessible item right now would be a dyno and 2 or 3 sheets .. comparing 
If he's going the route of SR20DEN, he's going to sell them .. not share them ... and depending on the design complexity, it would be better to sell since as he stated, not all people will have access to these types of hardware.

I'm sorry I got everyone worked up. I need to control my excitement a little
Am I the only one who can't stay off the ORG, this is so addicting it's like crack
Sometimes I give out to much info...But either way I'll have dyno #'s 8/24 wed of the SVI and see if my straws big enough to feed my thirst and not to big were I can't bring it to my mouth.

Don't feel bad about the other cracks, man. Good ideas are hard to find - and document and/or dyno.
Selling your ideas is the American Way - and if they work, you are entitled to the benefits. I don't want to swipe your ideas - just use them to get my max down the strip faster. If your Secret Sauce works, then build 'em and I will buy.

The point I want to make here is that it is retarded to not spend $20 right now this very second to become a donating member and have access to the search function. Then you have everything you will ever need to know about the 00VI and MEVI. Trust me, back in the day we used to have 5 page techinical threads about these two manifolds. Just about everything has been said that could be about them. Install instuctions, part lists, reviews, dyno's, track times on the MEVI and 00VI are all here....you just have to search for them.
In situations like this I will not be helpful. You say the money is not an issue, and yet don't donate but expect to be given the information you want.
