Let me know.
Please get me a couple of shots of your engine bay so I can compare it to the CVT Hatch I'm testing. If everything looks like it will fit, we can proceed with the testing.

MTs seem to show the least benefits with these kits (most likely because the kits don't ground the driver ). But only testing will tell.

Alrighty, I'll take off the cover and give you a few snapshots within the week... it's almost finals week.

I'm waiting for a response back from Mark before I proceed with more testing.

Mark didn't see much in the way of results

He mentioned that he had better torque going up a hill and I think his HIDs and Audio had slight improvements.

If somebody else wants to try this out on a CVT, I can look for the kit specs and we can do another round of testing with somebody else's Versa. I don't want to go selling something that doesn't work though.

Ok, whoever wants to test it out is welcome to. I'm going to take a small deposit. If you keep the kit, I keep your deposit. If you don't want it, I'll refund it.

Hmm, food... tempting. I'll probably have to pass. Just got my wisdom teeth out last Friday. Tried eating grilled steak on Sunday...BIG MISTAKE!

I'm thinking about going to the Fontana Speedway on Sunday for some drag racing. Not sure if it's a go or not yet. If I do, I'll be half way to you (sorta).

Read above for the last update.

Nobody has contacted me regarding further testing, so I basically dropped the project. I definitely don't want to sell "snake oil".

If you have a kit with installation instructions for a 2008 with CVT, I am willing to pay for it, install and feedback.

I'll have to check my records. The last 2 Versa owners who purchased kits didn't experience any gains.

Urq,

You want to meet up and I can see if there is a better setup than the last one I put together? If so, then I'll be happy to sell these to you guys.
