This will be for the 3.5SE CVT first. I'm not sure what else Tim will want to work on, however, they will be using my car next month to create the production turbo system. They are a very reputable company out of San Diego, CA that have developed successful systems for many many cars, including all our brothers, the 350z, G35, and the last generation Altimas'. All using the VQ35DE. The last 3.5L Altima made 374 whp. They have much experience in this field and I have no doubt they will have a very satisfying turbo system ready for production. They said R&D will take about a month and they will be starting on my car in early May. So I would expect a completion date around the early June time period. Thanks for your interest! This is a link to the last Altima turbo system.

Looks good, make sure you do the intercooler, boost controller, and a if there is one a cooler for the CVT. What type of tune are they planning? Flash, piggypack? Good Luck!

Actually, Stillen and Vortech are talking about the development for one, but its still in the begging of the after market stages, nothing for a while

how bad would you expect mpg to be after turbo or s/c, with gas getting close to $4 a gallon it might be out of the question for a daily driver.

Well, bigger fuel pump, bigger injectors, larger fuel mixture, with the more air. I would expect to see a drop somewhere around 3 mpg, if you get on it a lot. If you just cruise around its really not much more lost, thats what the tunning is for

Funny how anyone would consider gas prices and a small drop in MPG after spending $4k+ on a turbo kit.

I saw a drop of about 3mpg on my turbo Scion tC in an all around no boost driving week, about 270 miles (down from 310) around 11 gallons to fill a tank. Ran premium which only added $2-3 a tank so no big deal there. Even when part throttle boosting on just cruising, you're going to get more air into the cylinder then the ECU is expecting. The computer will constantly try to correct the air/fuel mixture by adding more gas. It's unavoidable.

Ahh, well this is where the aem fic does its magic. All the fuel signals will now be coming from the fic. No over correction by the current engine ecu

Will there be a boost controller?

Also, aren't you afraid of effing up you ride? It being CVT and all.

Lets hope your car doesn't take ten months to get turbo'd.

Not at all. We are going to use a boost contoller. Going to tune it for 5psi for daily driving, and 7psi for the track. There are no clear cut answers for the CVT's reliability during forced induction. However, I have heard word from STILLEN and Nissan that lead me to believe rewards outweigh risks for the CVT with forced induction. We do have an agreeement though. If things go horribly wrong, and the CVT does break. They will return it to its stock condition, and I will play it as, I was just driving and it boke

I wish I had that AEM system when I was boosting. I absolutely can't stand part throttle lean boosting.

Well, considering 90% of the A/C produced are CVT, it would stand to reason it would help more people getting it installed on the CVT. Especially since that company in Texas is doing the 6 speed. There is a huge space difference in the size of the transmissions. If you look in both engine bays, notice the CVT goes all to the way up, under the battery, in the CVT.

does the sedan 3.5 CVT have the same engine bay and space as a coupe? if so it would help to get some sedan interest also

We have been turbocharging the VQ's and rev-ups since they were released in 2002 so we do have some experience turbocharging these cars.We already have a kit for the sedans but the coupe is somethin we have been wanting to do becasue we feel as though it will be a beter market then the sedan has been.I will try to answer your questions when I can but it looks as though Blake is doing a good job.
