tuner

Post by **flyboy367** » Thu Jul 24, 2008 2:06 pm

what tuners are available for a 95 max, im porting my tb this weekend, also adding headers, exhaust, and intake. would like to find a good intake manifold as well. idiot proof would be great as im good with cars not so much with computers lol.

I have an Apexi Neo, I got it on ebay for 150 and its pretty straight foward and easy to install. In order to properly tune you need a wideband o2 to get that AFR correct or you can go to a dyno and they usually change 80 to tune it out perfectly

As for an IM there is only two options, besides making your own. you can do the MEVI conversion or the 00VI conversion both are very effective, but the 00VI proves to be a bigger gain in hp. Also you can do both of these swaps without having to retune.

Salvage yard for a VI from a DEK

whats that mean lol, your talking to a guy who has built chevys for the last 15 years.

Post by **DaveVQ** » Thu Jul 24, 2008 5:21 pm

the 00vi is the IM from the 5th gen maxs, there is a write up about how to do it here, a good place to look for the 2000-2001 maxima UIM (upper IM) is on car-parts.com

and no for a simple AFC you do not need a laptop. it just taps into the MAF signal and makes adjustments.

Of there is always the duct tape tuning, but thats a different story and a bit risky. who wants to ask what duct tape tuning is?

what do those manifolds usually sell for? im assuming its a 2 piece design

One piece design. It depends on which parts you want to get as there are many ways to do this. You can go as far as getting the upper and lower IMs, fuel rail, injectors, and throttle body or stick with the bare essentials and get just the upper IM, flip the lower IM 180 degrees, port it yourself, and make an adapter for the stock throttle body.

you can get a ready to bolt on kit for about $500-$600 shipped and usually includes the rpm switch. i'd give you a link to a complete one for $480 + shipping...but i don't want to get edited like DaveVQ

Duct tape tuning involves using a small piece of duct tape and covering a very small portion of the hole of the MAF wire itself. It helps to rich out things a bit, but its not easy and very risky...cause if you cover too much it riches out too much. I will look for pictures of it....

Before tape unstable A/F

After tape stable A/F

ok ya lost me. you said its a 1 piece but you list upper and lower manifold. what gives the best net gain? or should i just pull mine apart and hog it out?

Post by **DaveVQ** » Fri Jul 25, 2008 11:11 am

he said one because there is two ways to do it....

one way is with 5th lower and upper IM but then you need 5th gen injectors and some other things, but it requires retuning

the other way is 4th lower and 5th upper and you can keep your injectors and there is no need to tune. you just have to weld and redrill the 4th gen lower IM

Nope, don't have to do that. Flip the lower IM 180 degrees and ghetto PnP it.

ok so i get the upper 00-01 intake manifold, flip my stock manifold and bolt it up. what about the tb does everything stay the same? thats sounds better. otherwise for $600 for an intake manifold id rather throw some spray on.

anyone have pics of this fiasco?

I had adapters for the IACV and TB. Forgot to mention those. You can find a guy on the org who makes them.

Postwhoring is generally looked down on there, especially when getting to the 15 posts necessary to start a thread of your own. My advice: hit up the Members Rides section and start posting, "Nice whip" or something to that effect in 15 threads.

just gotta keep an eye out for those deals. i was fortunate enough to get a decent deal with all the parts included.check this site out,http://tatanko.boredmder.com/ includes very informative info regarding the 00vi swap.i went w/ the 4rth LIM route so i didn't have to tune it.i luv my 00vi

Post by **THT** » Fri Jul 25, 2008 3:14 pm

When I ditched my VI'ed 3.0L, I sold all the VI hardware for what I paid for it...$80. I don't think the buyer installed it and paid it forward.

I love my mevi.

The 00vi is not a direct bolt on like the MEVI. I was the one that did the write in the differences between the two.

Post by **flyboy367** » Tue Jul 29, 2008 7:55 am

ok so just for clarification, which is which, which is a direct bolt on and what needs to be done? the write up was a bit confusing as well and the pics have been deleted. if this is gonna cost me $500 ill probably either fab my own short ram upper intake manifold or buy my buddies sniper kit and a walbro fuel pump.

Post by **kzoosho** » Tue Jul 29, 2008 7:24 pm

The mevi is a direct swap but you will have a hard time finding one. You can post a wtb or see if dave b has any in stock.
