still no turbo, eh?

[terrycs]

I have a CVT and Supercharged. 400hp doesnt seem to be a problem, maybe im lucky, who knows.

You have 400 Hp going through your CVT? How much torque?

[djtorello]

djtorello what supercharger did you use on your car and was it hard to install?

Modified a Ecotec 2.2L SC. It has alot of problems. Looking to acquire a Procharger from the B15 sentra's.

Not sure, Im getting dyno'd again in 2 weeks. last time, N/A, i was 186hp & 403tq, so im curious where i stand now.

[unmei]

how complicated was the build? i am assuming it was custom? also, do you have pics of your engine bay?

[spcvtbo]

There is now a kit for the car. I just had mine done as the project car and the kit will be available soon. Trying to gets some pics loaded. Its got 303 to the wheels.

[spcvtbo]

Finally got the pics working. Here is a shot of the engine.

[unmei]

the OP has a 2.0 CVT, which treadstone has already acknowledged won't fit. this kit is for the se-r model only. it's never been tested on an se-r with CVT either, just the spec v.

[VMPhil]

the SE-R's already have an external transmission cooler. Not sure on the 2.0's, never really looked.

The Renaults turbo 2.0L is rated at 250hp and the crank, so im assuming the CVT can handle it.

IIRC the Sport Renaults that output that kinda juice dont use CVT. According to the wiki, the 227hp and Renault Sport 250 use 6 speed trannys. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%A9gane_Renault_Sport


here is some food for thought however: http://www.cardomain.com/MakeModel/Rena ... 2007/2010/

Just to make it clear, the CVT in Altima's isn't super reliable, it seems Nissan extended the warranty because they know it. I know the CVT in Versas and 2.0 Sentras is a weaker version of the Altima unit, so you do the math. Not to down your ambitions but it isn't advisable to boost on it. Plus you'd void the warranty anyway.

To make it even more clear. Does it really seem logical for a company such as Nissan to extend the warranty AND reimburse anyone who has previously paid for repairs, so you do the math. Also, from the way I understand the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act of 1975, my warranty would remain, (unless the turbo could be proven to cause the failure).

good luck with that. Nissan Of America (and Nissan dealers in general) will laugh at you if you start spouting the Magnus-Moss WAO 75'. Many people lost many a QR25 engine due to eaten cats that dealers would deny warranty replacements cause the cars were modded. Its one of the things that made me jump from Nissan after owning a B15 Sentra. Not that mine had that issue but it shocked me at how owners were being treated. a couple of people have tried the M-M warranty argument and lost.

I am not sure if the CVT in the Sentra is the same in the Maxima but if it is, that means the CVT should be good up to about 300hp \ 270ft. and again to all of those saying the Renaults do just fine, the ones you are talking about use 6 speed transmissions.

Stace, I already told you "should have bought a b13".....

[alperazzoli]

Been looking for a turbo kit to fit to my 6spd 2.0S as well. But all info I've found so far is about SE-Rs and their QR25DE's.

Anybody tried their luck on turboing an MR20DE?

I know, why turbo it when it's supposed to be an econobox etc. etc. etc., but we don't even get SE-R's where I live, and it would be nice to have a little extra punch in my B16. (Say, 160 - 180 whp).

this dude. completely built engine. it's all custom but if you're serious then contact him.

Also, even this NicoClub member has a turbo in his B-16.

yeah that's an se-r. i think the OP and alperazzoli are looking for mr20 info.

That's a bit extreme for my taste. Instead of replacing rods and pistons and going for 22 Psi, my choice would be to keep as stock as possible and run a little boost. Like I said, if I get to the 180 whp (about 200 shaft hp?) range it is more than enough.

Mind you, for those who haven't driven a 6spd 2.0, its factory power/torque figures are deceiving - the engine is quite a warrior. And it is my only car, so I want to keep the reliability. That's why I don't look for too much improvement.

[unmei]

yeah he kinda went all out, but he would still be the best bet on how to do it. it wouldnt be difficult to turbo your car since it's a manual, i would think. it's us CVT people who are unsure...

[alperazzoli]

Bump!

Anybody tried something out yet?

Cheers mates

[VMPhil]

every where I read it seems that Custom turbo builds are using manual transmissions. If i see anything else I will report back.

There are a bunch of turbo b16 specs and 1 2.0 that i know of(converted to 6speed). Treadstone is releasing a kit for SER's and specs this year. They say that they put one on an SER(has cvt) and did fine at 303whp. No obvious transmission abuse.

The CVT in the SE R IS 6 speed!

SER Wes, you tha man for finding this!!!! do you have an SE R or specV? what do you think about this?

[chrisncgy86]

I just got off the phone with Treadstone. The kit will not work with CVT

O i must have misunderstood the comment that made me think that(there is a thread about that they posted on another forum)

I definitely think the cvt would work with moderate boost, at least the ones in the SERs. The ones in the 2.0 have a lower torque rating but i have no idea on the exact specs. If the SER's is the same as in the maximas altimas and muranos, then i has to be able to at least handle stock VQ torque.

There was a 3.5 altima on youtube with a turbo and cvt, but nothing has been said about it sense those videos.

I think it would be perfectly fine up to 8 psi probably on a QR25, but the longevity is what i would be worried about.

O and i have an 09 SER

[PapaSmurf2k3]

If anyone wants to buy all the parts and bring the car to my house, I'll engineer the s*** out of a turbo system for you. I'll even tell you what to buy.
