What exactly is the MEVI (what does it stand for?)?

And how do you know a Max is Cali-spec?


Yes, I did search!

 

It stands for Middle Eastern Variable Intake, and its a variable intake which gives 4th gen maxima's awesome top end, which they lack stock... To put it bluntly, its like vtec for a maxima. :P

ahh...geeez..I know what it is (back when that "beast" guy supposedly stole everyone's money)..I didn't know we had an acronym already!

 

you can find out if your maxima is a cali spec by decoding the VIN number by using the method in the faq

 

you searched and you couldn't find those answers? wowza...

cali spec has more o2 sensors iirc, check your manifold

 

Well...maybe it was a half-assed search: typed in MEVI and CA spec and up withnothing useful.

 

This is OT.

 

Excuse me...I'M the OT reporter.

 

I tried the faq on the home page and in the forum...where is this VIN decoding you speak of?

 

4thgen forum

 

 

don't you know EVERYTHING is in the 4th gen forum?! look how many posts they have!

show me a pic of the engine bay and I'll tell you if it's cali spec or not.

 

middle eastern variable Intake??? so a maxima variable intake frommiddle eastern maximas?



Even though it gives more top end power, some lower end power is lost. It's more noticable in a 5 sp.

 

that's what he said.

 

Well that's just plain stoopid!
Why should everything thing be in the 4th gen forum? I mean who cares about 4th gen?

I read the friggin' stickies (dammit!), which helped quite a bit.
VINs: JN1CA31A8YT024157, JN1CA21A1XT107647

 

so why do middle eastern maximas has this intake and not us??

 

i just searched for mevi, says something about v**inal infection.
i love the search button.

 

because the american market gets fubar'd on all cars, dur
