I want a super charger

[Infantry1327]

Has anyone heard any news on the development for a super charger? Or if the CVT would hold up to a super charger?

[alt.coupe28]

yeah i wanted a super charger for my car too. cvt as well. i spoke to stillen about a couple months ago and they told me they weren't making one, but who knows now. i hope they do. that'll be sick.

[mikegtr06]

you can get the electric one off ebay...

[08altima35]

if you guys are wanting f/i my suggestion would be to consider trading for a 6mt. the cvt is not going to hold an extra 100whp. it wasn't designed to do so and you will have a hard time finding a shop to modify the cvt transmission and the cost will prolly be through the roof.

Then go build one

Was this a complaining title or what?

[marlin29311]

It didn't sound complain-y to me...

I thought it was a general question. It would be nice to see if there was a viable f/i option for our cars with the cvt...

i dont remember if it has been posted before but how much power are you putting out ?

[08altima35]

6lbs. boost offers just a little under 100peak whp gain. I'm going to dyno again in a few weeks and see how she holds 8lbs and possibly do a single pull at 10lbs. just for kicks and giggles.

on another note.i spoke with kenny when at HIN and the Artisan Performance Turbo Kit is still set to be released, but with sema right around the corner it will be two weeks at the earliest. I was also told they've developed some other goodies to spruce up the engine compartment which i'll post asap if they're not up on the Artisan Performance website or turbochargers.com website before i have a chance to install.

[dangeris]

Dang...I knew I should have held off and waited for the 6MT

[phobs]

is there even enough space for a super charger?

[mikegtr06]

wow thats ridicilous i cant wait for the other parts though.

[LinkNuc]

Nope have to modify the hood fo sho

[mikegtr06]

i dont thing have to mod the hood, maby relocate the battery. i just emailed all the big companies about getting a supercharger for the car.... we will just have to wait and see.

[milkacaduke]

the cvt is not going to hold an extra 100whp.

as far as in know supercharger provides a safer boost than turbocharge. i know this statement is true but not sure the excat details.

if blake can pull CVT turbo off, why not a supercharger?

[vi3tboispike]

i wanna get a super charge for my car. so i did some callin around and i talk to this guy from vortech supercharger and he said that if i wanted a super charger in my car im best with the "vortech SC trim"...itss 412hp gain...go to the link below and find the sc trim..http://www.vortechsupercharger...0&y=0

[LinkNuc]

Supercharger off set from the engine? weird, remember it is belt driven and, maybe you are thinking of a turbo not S/C, I mean I guess it could be done but very unconventional. But since it is FWD and the engine sits sideways it could be done..yeah I guess I'm just so uised to seeing them top mounted.

[mikegtr06]

it would prolly have to go near where the alternator is.... a new bracket would have to be made and a bigger belt but there is plenty of room.

underneath the alterantor there is nothing.

[LinkNuc]

What about for the V6, but yeah i guess it could work

[mpbclutch33]

I am all about a SuperCharger for the right price!!

[08altima35]

didn't we beat the supercharger topic to death a couple months ago. And i seriously don't see many shelling out 4k to 5k for a supercharger that they can't install themselves.

[Infantry1327]

i would buy a super charger over a turbo for the cvt. Just because the sc is safer for the transmission than the turbo. If there was a successful turbo set up on a cvt, then I would buy that. But untill a cvt turbo is proven not to harm the cvt, then the next best thing would be the development of a super charger.

[milkacaduke]

superchargers are accually pretty common on small cars such as yaris i mean if yaris can handle supercharge boost, y not our A/C

the point of us 2.5ers are intreasted in superchargers is because it's a much safer boost than turbo.

not saying superchargers are better, just much safer.

[08altima35]

safer for your transmission? turbo or supercharger are both bad for your transmission if you're making gains of 100whp on a transmission that cannot handle it. for the cvt it all goes back to having someone build up your cvt to make is safely handle lots more power. sure you could go 2 lbs. of boost for a 10 whp gain and the cvt would prolly be okay, but that's not worth 5k.

[ESP]

Forgive my ignorance, but why is one particularly safer than the other? I thought the main problem with FI on any NA vehicle what that the internals can't handle the added pressure. Boost is boost no matter where it comes from, right? That's just how I've always seen it...Okay, now tell me why I'm wrong please...

[Infantry1327]

As far as we know right now, it wasnt that the turbo over powered the transmission. It over heated the transmission.

If that is the case 08altima, then yea it defenetly isnt worth 5 grand. But eventually somone needs to figure out what kind of upgrades need to be made to facilitate a sc or tc

[milkacaduke]

but why is one particularly safer than the other?

just to put it out im no where near a professional mechanics, but i was given this impression by many of my turbo/supercharged friends given the same platform SC will be safer than TC. i am also very confused

taking a sab at the dark, something to do with the dyno lines?

[Hussain]

ya i'm no expert either but i think its due to the fact that Turbo usually gives bigger gains. superchargers are more instant then turbos. they say superchargers are more daily driver friendly.... Turbo is just to go hella ****in fast lol and when you push the car that hard you tend to mess things up. i guess a turbo on low boost should be just as safe as a supercharger but then again i'm no expert either

[LinkNuc]

Turbo's are more efficient than S/C's because they use exhaust gas to spool and not a belt tied to the crank, but boost is boost, 7psi from a S/C and 7 psi from a Turbo has only minor deduction due to S/C...not really gonna see much...

S/C boost is on-demand, turbo's take a while to spool up though the newest turbo technology spools up in less than a second

[Stumpjumper]

I would do S/C on the 2.5 before I would a turbo just for the immediate low end power the S/C provides. Of course I'd upgrade my valve springs while I was at it though.

[LinkNuc]

correct, you have the boost available immediately the low rpm range tremendously benefits from a S/C and if you don't beat the snot out of your car you can almost negate low end boost which is a nice option in bad conditions
