Not familiar with T66s, so I can't help there. I agree though, I wouldn't go past 5 psi.

 

uh...the Nissan Murano is $30k+ SUV. There is alot of money in that car.
Question is what is the comparison to their CVT and the Lancer's CVT? That needs to be checked out.

And I don't think they have a turbo in it. So.....if that is stock at 245hp w/o turbo utilizing CVT, I am sure there is going to be quite a difference in their CVT and the Lancer's.

I just need something a little more substantial to believe that the Lancer's CVT can handle such power. I can have faith in the engineering, but to give it such a high boost from 152hp to 285hp? I think anyone would question that.

feel me?

 

lol no one listens, there is a huge difference in the CVTs like you say chino.

Not ALL CVTs are made equally, Just because its a CVT doesnt mean its the same. There are different methods used to continously vary the ratio of the gears. Some use belts and pulleys, others use chains much like you see on a bike. Check out the link below and the link inside of that. I already asked the same question because the Audi has a TURBO cvt, but it uses a chain that is built for power where as ours uses a belt/pulley system.

mmkay.
I KNEW THAT!
(I think)

 

Cool. Can anyone else chime in on this? BTW it's a T66BB. After reading some reviews, I'm wondering if it may be too much turbo for the boost application.

 

i think the 08 lancer engine can handle 10-12 psi easily.

 

t66 is very large. You might want to start of with something a lil bit smaller. It would take forever to spool that thing, or you could use nitrous..

 

hell someone just needs to try it out and let us all know what happens

 

the only thing i know is that the HP doesn't matter that much, the torque is the one that can really mess up the cvt in the first 2 or 3 preset "gears"
think of diesel engines, those things have lower HP ranges but higher torque ranges than a gasoline engine; also most of them are turbocharged...
other thing to consider is the compression ratio of the engine... a Normally Aspirated engine has a bigger compression than a Turbocharged, numbers are 10.1:1 VS 8:1 in each case.
Things that MUST be considered to turbo o supercharge an engine: compression ratio, intake and exhaust manifolds, intercooler, blow-off valve, valves, camshafts, ecu maps for fuel ratio and rpm limit, not to mention a better brakes package, exhaust pipes and mufflers (minimum 2.5" of diameter)
thats pretty much what you need

 

i think the 08 gts brakes will do fine. should be able to turbo it with basic mods like exhaust and fuel system and ecu upgrades to 10psi and that will probally add 100+ hp. maybee a small turbo like a Garrett T25 BB would be good.

 

I dont think we'll know how much this motor can handle until people start pushing the envelope. Most important thing will be tuning fuel and ignition. Ive seen motors blow up at 5 psi and same stock motor pushing 12 with a very good tune. I dont know how the electronics on this car will react to mods. Im sure these cars will at the very least require some kind of piggy back (which Im not too fond of depending on what type of parameters u can adjust) or stand alone.

I was told by Mitsu performance specialist that the CVT can handle 285 with only a tad over 1% slippage

 

all boils down to one question, who wants to volunteer their car?

 

i can't believe some people are doubting this engines capabilities, u spoiled children, you have dohc mivec with over 150hp.i put 2 grand na and i had 135 at the crank

 

Just to shed a little light on the blind groping going on...

People have compared the Mitsubishi CVT with the Nissan CVT. You do know they are both manufactured by the same company? JATCO is the industry leader in CVT technology and Nissan, Mitsubishi, Subaru and a ton of other manufacturers are buying their CVT technology from JATCO.

I had the honor of meeting the project leader from JATCO during his stay in my area and that is where the information on the limits of the CVT came from. Whether you believe them or not is all up to the individual.

 

I didn't know that.
That's news to me.
Is that the F1C1?
