Due to problems with my supplier and a few mistakes that I made I was not able to keep my promises to several org members. I will no longer be selling MEVI's but I am still trying to get the ones I promised to people that ordered from me. Refunds were sent to those who ordered. I am soryy for the trouble I caused.

I am not a performance shop, I am an individual. As far more information, I will post pics of the MEVI that I have later tonight or tomorrow.

I was able to find a supplier that has several of these stateside.

Not to sound offending but I haven't seen you around on the board. You're asking people who don't know you to send you $550. That would be most helpful if you can post some credentials about yourself or have members on the org post feedback of you.

Best,
AnGe

MEVI stands for Middle Eastern Variable intake. It varies the intake velocities by using a plenum attached to the intake runners that opens at a set rpm and creates a sort of dynamic supercharging that rams more air into the cylinder resulting in an increase in horsepower after about 5200 rpm. A great explanation is in the FAQ section.

Ange, I can understand your and other members concern. I unfortunately am not a performance shop and this will be the first time selling something on the org so I don't have a feedback like yourself and your business. As for building trust I would be willing to do something like the half and half Mr Cranman did on his group deal only I'll go a little farther. For the first buyer I can take half the payment to get the ball rolling and then take the rest after the buyer has recieved the MEVI. I can only do this for an established org user though as I will be risking a substantial amount of money and I am not a business.

Ange you have mail

I will be dynoing a maxima on monday, then installing a MEVI on wednesday and hopefully dynoing it again on friday to see what horsepower it gains and see if it loses any torque.

Looks like you still have to get an rpm switch and a canister thing.

Yes, you will still need an rpm switch, vacuum canister, and a few other items that are all included in the install kit that Mr Cranman sells for $135. You can also buy the necessary items yourself and save a little. All gaskets and bolts are included with the MEVI however. Feel free to post any questions you might have.

I am selling MEVI's for 550 shipped with all required gaskets and the cover. I have some in stock and will be able to ship those to you in at most 4 weeks but most likely closer to two. If I run out of stock I can get more to you within 6-8 weeks. I do not have the install kits but you can buy them from Mr Cranman. Paypal will be slightly more at $560.

Feel free to ask me any questions that you might have and I will try to respond promptly. To order E-mail me or pm me and I will send you the required info to place an order. I will post pics shortly.

*EDIT*
Pics are on page two.
Errrr...if you have em in stock, why does it take 2-4 weeks for you to send them out?

My supplier in the US has them and sends them to me first when I get an order. It takes about 5 days for me to get them and then about seven days to get to the buyer. I said it would usually take two weeks but if there are any problems I will have them to you in atleast four weeks.

i have got a couple emails and pm's asking if i know All Motor .. i don't know him, i am not affiliated with him and i can't vouch for his credibility.

The only thing in we have in common is we bought our VI's from the same place, there has been some confusion as to if i bought my VI from him, and that is not so.

I still don't know who he is and i still don't know if you can trust him. That you will have to do on your own .. i can't help you or take responsiblity for any transactions you may have with him.

Nothing personal Allmotor.. i don't know you and i don't want people to think our friendly exchange in this thread means that we know each other.

Allmotor, you'd probably expand your list of buyers if you went with Escrow.com for the first transactions. Do that and you'll quite likely end up with some buyers. It protects you and it protects the buyer.
