just as the title says, want to buy an oovi or a mevi

 

Nevermind I renege my post, especially after seeing you just got screwed by another person.

I wish I was ready to sell my MEVI to you to help you out, but I won't be putting it up for sale until I'm ready to do the 3.5 swap which may be a while.

ive got a mevi + everything you need to get going that I would let go for cheap, PM me

 

its 00vi. stands for 2000 variable intake.

 

I'm just curious to know, but which system is the easiest to install?

 

MEVI......

 

Maxima_kid is selling the full 00vi setup for $300 shipped. You'll need an rpm switch and an IACV adapter plate from stephen max but otherwise it's a great price. PM and see what exactly he has. Be quick I know someone else wanted it. You won't really find a better deal than that.

 

whats the operating differences between a mevi and an oovi, does a mevi need a switch as well?

 

Both need a rpm switch to activate. 00vi gives more power but is more time consuming.

I was just wondering if there was any kind of instructions that u can go by when installing an oovi or a mevi

 

Well have havnt searched if you're asking that. There are plenty of threads that go over this information already.

Go there. It has most of the links I used.

 

what do I look under in the searches for oovi?

 

You could start by typing "00vi" instead of "oovi"

 

Ethnic6,

00VI has been proven by dyno to be superior to MEVI, but much harder to install. There are many minor modifications that have to be done to make it work. I invested probably 30+ hours in my install, but could not be happier that I did. I doubt very many people are going to spoon feed you the information, as many of us invested in the fee to search and did all the work ourselves.

I did do a complete writeup of my install using the 4th gen lower intake manifold and 00 throttle body, rear valve cover, and rear coils. If you want the writeup, there would be a small fee.

 

hahahah holy sh*t a small fee?

ethnic6- start by searching 00VI and not oovi. oovi does not exist. 2000 Variable Intake manifold does however.

 

Has anyone else taken the time to write it all up to the n'th detail? You sit down and write it up and see if you feel like giving it away to every noob who doesn't want to do the work. And when I say small fee, I'm talking about donating to the .org if he has not already done so.

 

dude thats what the org is, sharing information. If we all hoarded what we discovered, how much progress do you think we'd all be making? If the only people deserving of your exclusive write-up are people who have done the proper research then why would they need your write-up in the first place?
I've freely and openly shared everything i thought could be useful to anyone willing to read it, I dont dangle it over anyones head.
I understand not spoon feeding but if you've already got it written up, what is a little copy paste gonna hurt?

and donating to the org...okay...?

 

Believe me, I've been on here for a while searching, researching, and posting what I've learned. I considered posting my writeup a while ago, but not many people ask about 00VI anymore and it's an 8 page document, so I'm not going to copy paste here. There certainly are people out there who would be willing to invest in the org, but not willing to spend the time doing the searches and sorting through the masses of threads trying to pull out what they need to know. That's where I'm coming from.

 

i hear ya, fair enough. 8 pages thats pretty crazy. I went the all 4th gen route.

 

I wish I had gone the 5th gen lower and injector route and added the VAFCII. It's done now, so no sense looking back now.

 

Hi all, I would have posted my own topic, however for some reason this forum wont let me. I am also looking at getting a MEVI.

If anyone has any offers, send me a PM and i'll come to an arrangement.

Cheers!

 

the part that I'm missing is the throttle body, rpm switch and IACV adapter plate, just wondering if u can order these parts online?

 

you can buy them from someone parting out or buy them from nissan.

 

I was wondering how much the misc parts are going to cost me? does anyone have a general idea

on a side note, wonder why there are so many people selling 00vi and Mevi right now

 

it's a hot item. Lots of reasons my guess. People swapping 3.5's. Parting out engines, basically just don't want them or need them at the time is my guess.

All the parts depend where you go and who's selling them. It can range in price. Go search around.

 

Ethnic6, check salvage yards or do a search here for the throttle body, if you're using the 5th gen injectors and fuel rail, then you should consider buying the VAFCII, which will tune your air/fuel and also act as an RPM switch. The IACV plate will have to be custom made by either StephenMax or a machine shop. I think StephenMax will do them for $75. They are quality pieces, so the price is fair in my opinion. I made my own, and easily have $75 worth of time and materials in it.

 

I sold mine since I'm going to be selling my car soon and would like to get the car back to as stock as possible for ease of maintenance for the next owner

 

I was looking over tatanko's website, and decided to go with the #8 set up

 

as todd stated, talk to stephen max. You'll need him to drill the LIM, and to make the adapter plates. I think you should get a v-afc II anyway. You'll save the $100 on the rpm switch and you can tune the car.

 

I'm not looking to tune the car, since I"m not all that apt at mechanics, thats why I went with setup #8 on Tatanko's website so that its less hassle for me after installation, and I already ordered the adapter plates from Stephen max

 

well tuning the car is to make it run better. You're ofsetting the a/f ratio by adding the 00vi. For $150 more than an rpm switch I think it's worth it because it does so much.

 

so where can I get one?

 

ebay for $250 usually or brand new for like $350 or something. I just think it's a good idea because I feel like I added the 00vi and it didnt help like I thought it would. I feel like the a/f ratio I have now is throwing the cars power out of whack a little. So if you can get a good deal on the 00vi parts then go for the v-afc II and monitor the car. Plus it has some pretty cool other features you can keep track of.

 

good stuff, thanks... is there any other essentials that u guys feel I should get for this swap?
