can a S20 VVL be TURBO,

[atoymtes5000]

I have a sr20vvl with a m6 transmission,can I turbo it and if so how much can it take.

[EarthQuake]

u can turbo it at about 7 psi

but the tranny wouldnt last long under the turbo

it wouldnt be able to handle the power

[THE SYNDICATE]

Do a search.................theirs a thread like it somewhere about!

*and if u change to gear box,u will need a switch to activate the VVL.*

[Ragnarok]

I'm sure no one has turboed one with a m6 tranny so be the first and get this myth out of the way.

An M6 Tranny can handle it but the question is how long..

* whistles *

Nobody knows

nobody knows



I won't suggest it but if you guys like to waste money go ahead...

But make sure you upgrade or place the tranny oil cooler this should help save the transmission a few more miles with all that torture

Thanks , still looking for a SR20 turbo manifold. ANY IDEAS.

Nissan uses belt-type CVT for cars up to 2000cc. However for bigger engines, (read, Horsepower/Torque) Nissan has another type called Extroid. This type of CVT is used in their big RWD vehicles.
Turbocharging an SR20 engine could really ruin a CVT-M6. The internal belt will have a shortened life.

amm hard luck bout bein the first to do a forced induction sr20vvl with a cvtm6 tranny... meh padna did it a long time ago in a bluebird... tranny didnt last too long though so the car was converted to manual...

[Ragnarok]

Great finally someone did it, so it can be done and wont last to long so there's the answer....

[zryfle]

well all is good .U can turbo it up to 10 psi safely 7 psi .With stock internals .Best thing u can do convert to gear box or none cvt tranny .But u will just be spending unnecessary money . Do something good make it in a way that it will not break down .Less time spent Less money spent .

[atoymtes5000]

Well as the saying goes not the frist, but maybe not the last.thanks again. REMBER imformation is knowledge and knowledge is power to us all.will have to change.....

VVL can take up to 20psi, just get the low compression pistion (8.8:1).

[donnybmf]

aye fella it could be turbo down but that tranny would probably last you about 1 month or so i turbo my vvl thing working sweet on 10 psi but with an LSD gearbox and ful ACT clutch system

[IDRC]

i heard of some that did it and the turbo and the transmission did not last. it was always in boost

[biggy82]

well then don't turbo to the full 7psi. run a 4-5psi boost, use and external tranny oil cooler and change the tranny oil more frequently (normal change period is 20K kms....maybe cut that time in half)

and probably the tranny will last you a lot longer
