optimusprime Posted August 20, 2004 Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 Hey all, I'm on another board chatting with a person that owns a '94 GP that is claiming to have a CVT tranny, a turbo off a forklift (h16 I believe) and a carbon fiber transverse spring among other things. Is this even possible? If this is complete BS I hope you all get a laugh because it sounds like BS to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GnatGoSplat Posted August 20, 2004 Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 HAH! There's not even a CVT tranny out that I'm aware of that can handle the torque of a V6. They're all behind tiny 4-bangers. What kind of mental deficient would even make up such silly stories? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kind of mental deficient would even make up such silly stories? The new Saturn Vue has a CVT coupled with a V6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baddflash Posted August 20, 2004 Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 The Nissan Murano has a 245HP 3.5L V6 with a CVT. I'd still say buddy is full of Shit. http://www.nissanusa.com/vehicles/ModelAttributes/0,,31002|31005|,00.html Edit: 246TQ@4400 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midnight rider Posted August 21, 2004 Report Share Posted August 21, 2004 I have heard of using forklift turbos on a gas car.... the rest, who knows. People do some crazy shit to their cars. I saw a dodge truck in a salvage yard once with a 401 buick nailhead engine in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

optimusprime Posted August 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2004 Thanks for the input guys. Sounds like complete BS to me too. I guess I need to hang out where people actually know what they're talking about exist. About the CVT, I don't think Saturn uses one in the V6 Vues. I just drove one about a month ago and it was a 5spd auto (that Honda V6 has some get up and go for sure). I know the 4 cylinder uses a CVT. But I belive Audi/Volkswagen has a CVT mated up to a V6.

maybe2fast Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 that is total BS plus why even use such a wimpy turbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5speedz34 Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 I know that the Saturn Vue redline uses the Honda 3.5 that it's the Murano. About the CVT trans I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
