no, the CVT can't yet handle the turbo!

Not exactly accurate. Low boost and proper turbo placement (think remot turbo) could be done and could possible yield acceptable results.

and thats a ridiculous part to have someone buy you for christmas.

I could see maybe some overlays or something, but my parents would have laughed in my face if i had ever asked them for a present that cost thousands of dollars

not exactly... you're guessing... and guessing isn't gonna make someone happy after spendiong 6K on a turbo install from bad information

as I said earlier, the CVT can't yet handle a turbo... at least not safely.. once the only known turboed CVT is back in commision, they will do testing to see what/if any setups allow use of a turbo in a CVT... this may include transmission coolers, turbo blankets, etc....I don't see how turbo placement is importance as the CVt takes up so much room in the A/C, there isn't much room left other than the space that's currently being used

Your parents got that kind of money. Get the 370z. lol Or tell them to get you a new tranney and a rear wheel drive conversion to turbo it. Thats only like a $11000 christmas present. Plus your coupe will be one of a kind

ok so i'm not all that educated on CVT trannys BUT i was actually thinkin on doin a turbo proj on my frontier. i didn't really make the cash and wasn't as dedicated to doing it but i spoke with a guy who specialized on performance at a shop.

he said if i wanted to turbo my ka24de with my auto transmission in my frontier, i would have to go with a small turbo that didn't create TOO much boost on stock internals and auto trans. possibly like a t25. but too some that wouldn't even sem worth the trouble to get a little boost and spend a good amount of money. the guy at the shop said he could rly help me out buuuuuut it just didn't happen.

its different when we talk about a 6cyl and a CVT which i rly don't know squat on tech stuff abt it.

its possible.....back in my honda days when people ran turbo on their car with an auto trans they would install a trans cooler and stuff. Another thing I learned was that fuel management and tuning is the most important thing. Also just like what sentien said, with stock internals you should be running only low boosts. Anything over 7psi is danger already. Just bcuz one failed doesnt mean you should give up. If you're willing to learn how to turbo your car with auto trans and get help from the people who done it, hit me an e-mail I can give you a website that'll teach you and the people there will pretty much answer your questions. It aint no nissan website though but you'll get ideas. Peace! goodluck.

Im wondering how would the blow off valve would work with the turbo. Usually the excess boost is released when u release the gas to shift in a manual car. Im not sure about auto trans but it must be way different with the cvt since the trans doesn't shift.....kinda. How does that work I mean will there be constant boost with the cvt cuz if so that must be killer.

I'm not trying to get in an argument with you, but you're making assumptions regarding the reason why that CVT (the only one WE know of that's been turboed) died.

Based on the information I got, I would say it was caused more by heat and less by mechanical stress.

I don't think there would be an issue here. The BOV is releasing excess boost because when you shift you want the engine to reduce revs to go into a higher gear and as such you want less boost.

Actually in most automatics the bov doesn't release pressure until you take your foot off the gas. The wastegate will continue to control your systems pressure until the throttle body gate closes causing the BOV to release all pressure.As far as wanting less boost when you shift? You don't want less, but when the turbine is being spooled by exhaust gases, letting off throttle will cause less pressure causing the turbine to slow. otherwise the pressure flow would harmfully be reversed back into your motor.

We boiled the transmission fluid in the last car, which is indicitve of an over heat situation. Remote (rear) mouting would be the most successful solution, but dificult to accomplish, and that would mean we would hae to redisgn the whole kit. We will look at different wats of keeping the transmission cool for a succesful turbo kit, im positve on that.

The easiest definition of the way a BOV works is, it realease pressure into the atmosphere when you let off the throttle because your intakes throttle body closes while the charged air from the turbo is still in route to the motor. If this charged air doesnt go into the motor or get released by the BOV, it will be pushed backwards, back into the turbo housing, causing it to have negative and positive pressure on the blades. The turbo would ultimatley grenade itself.

With the CVT, the BOV only actuates when you let off the gas with driving, or rev it up to about 5k with a sharp pedal release in neutral. Thats the only time it ever serves a purpose anyways, so its doing its job correctly.
