Again if you cant tell just by looking at that.. NOT all CVTs are made the same, they have them split into classes for different capabilities. Ours is the F1C1, yes. the outlander has a bigger one, and so on. So as much as they may be manufactured by the same company, they arent manufactured for the same car. Theres still massive differences in design and durability with each set for performance with the specific range of cars and size of engines.

Thanks for reinforcing my point and maybe people will stop trying to compare CVTs .

 

See that's what I was worried about. Any suggestions? Like I said before, I've always done supers, this'll be the first time I've actually planted a turbo in a car.

 

try it out and see what happens

 

My suggestion - start small. Get a little turbo off a 2G Eclipse or a TD04 off a WRX. If that's safe, then we can worry about stepping up to the big boys...

 

good idea sheep. hawk, let us know how it goes. thanks

 

that was my plan exactly, but i wasnt sure if id work just bc it was 2 different motors, that id work fine. i had asked about this and ppl told me to wait instead bc they werent sure how much the lancer engine could handle.

 

if im going to spend my money on a turbo i want to know it will work good and was fully tested. but if you send me a free turbo kit ill try it out np lol.

 

Alright, cool. Guess now I'm in the market for a TD04 and an intercooler. After doing some research I'm feeling pretty good about this.

bid is at 32.77? how come that doesnt seem right? am i missing something that makes that turbo worthless?

 

It has 45,000 miles on it, he says its works perfectly no shaft play but...yeah 35....LOL

 

45,000 isnt THAT much, its used but still thats like, 3 years of driving. Only reason i can see it being crap is if the seals are crap. So i suppose him having a very crappy description could infact lead me to believe the things a POS along with the $35 price....

If i knew how to fix up a turbo (incase it is indeed crap) without having to spend money id definitly drop $35 on it lol.

 

Yeah I'm definitely picking one up local from someone I trust or from a very reputable online dealer. I'll never buy parts off eBay again.

 

Augues 15th my turbo project will be started! i have $1700 extra to spend on my car every 2 months so i figured why not. !

 

CVT or 5spd?
