The 350z turbo set ups will not work on a 2.5 or 3.5 altimas... its FWD and the engine bay is not long enuff to stuff it in there. and the CVT trans will only hold about 300hp before having major problems. the internal belts are not built for High torq.

Yea, I remember reading something about the CVT right before it came out that said it was pretty much still in the works as far as higher hp or tq. are concerned. But the idea is genius with the CVT. Keeping the rpms in the powerband while accelorating is awesome but if it can't handle the torque just yet everyone will have to wait until the CVT is perfected.

thank you 31337 just the answer i was looking for... and whoever said a small supercharger that make like 60 or 70 horses, not a bad idea... but is there a small enough one to fit in that engine compartment..

where did u get your info. audi has been turboing their CVT for years...and the sentra spec-v has CVT and no turbo issues
I can only speak for nissan CVT, I have a customer with a 05 Turbo Murano and he has now bought 3 CVTs from me and he is pushing 330 to the rear wheels. The internal belts are built for good mechanical flow not HP. and next week when nissan opens the doors to buy the new 09 murano that has the new CVT2 we should see some power handling improvments! O and if ya dident know nissan is skipin the 08 year murano
yea i know about that... they look pretty sweet and the brochures look pretty sweet, available dual power sunroofs for front and back seats, power up and down rear seats available, uped the horses by a bit...
can't wait when nissan sends us salesman to their test drive day to put it through it's paces.
Fox Marketing said the new kits from Artisan are out on Turbokits.com. I would call first and see if the kit shown fits the 08, but I don't see why not. Here's the link:
To clarify, the turbo kits for the 350Z will NOT fit the Altimas because of the way the engines are mounted. The VQ in the 350Z is mounted longitudinally, whereas the VQ in the Altima is mounted transversely to accomodate FWD. The Altima Coupe looks like its going to have a lot of aftermarket goodies coming out for it, with twin/single turbo setups coming soon, so just wait and we'll have our day. As for superchargers, I don't have a clue. Maybe Stillen will come out with one for their project car.

Did Fox Marketing tell you that? Because the picture in that link is of a 3rd gen Altima. From my understanding the Artisan Performance kit is not still indevelopment.

Do the 05 Murano's and 07-08 Altima's have the same CVT? I thought the Muranos had the previous gen CVT transmission. I remember reading a link somewhere that the new CVTs were able to handle something like 315 lb torque.
to start the 3.5 coupe has a VQ35DE and the 350 Z has the VQ35HR. they are close but our VQ can not hold as much power. and second i have been calling Nissan and i was told that the cvt can take around 400Hp. but supercharger?! come on get some chest hair and get a turbo

Haha, chest hair. I don't see how turboing is any more 'manly' than supercharging, but I'll take your word for it. Personally, I just want a raptor blow-off valve... makes me cream my pants everytime it goes off
And if people are so scared to force-induce their CVT, then just don't do it. Or do it and find out if it works or not. Or, should have just bought a manual like a decent person But I don't see why stock tranny/internals couldn't take 5-8 lbs of boost safely... as long as you baby it and just don't mash the accelerator as hard... lol

Well, in some cases a supercharger can benefit you just as much as a turbo. Mercedes for instance has a supercharged v8 that creates the amount of torque you would normally see with turbo rather than a supercharger. There are positives and negatives to both of them. The positive of the supercharger would be that the power is available throughout the whole rpm band. The negative, it runs off of the crank so it takes power to make power. The turbo is great, in that it uses combustion to create power. But with larger turbos you get lag because they take longer to spool. Twin turbo is the way to go if you have the room for it.
Speaking of twin turbo. Anyone hear that the mustang may be going to a twin turbo v6 by 2012 because of EPA standars?
The supercharger is also more fuel efficient because the boost is not being used while idle or cruising. But that is sometimes not what the tuner is looking for.
So, sometimes you have to give the supercharger a bit of credit and not completely throw it out.
