Thread: sr20ve with cvt

so the shop im getting my swap done at ordered my sr20ve it arrived today with a cvt that is also supposed to have 6 speed tiptronic, i dont get how thats possible but anyways, is it possible to use the cvt in a 99 b14 sentra or not?

I beleive you would need an SR20VE ECU and tranny mounts, not sure

they have both of thoses

I wouldn't do it. Those trannies rob mad power.

-60-75whp from that trans. Kinda hard to dyno those though lol.

wonder how strong it is. Ideally staying in the strongest torgue range would be great at the track. but yeah they rob power so i dunno. So would it be worth it.

The best thing the CVT does on the VE is break. If it has anything over 100,000 km on it its a waste of time unless it has a service history. And they rob power as said above.

well after looking into it im getting the usdm sr20de 4 speed with overdrive, and using an sr20de ecu that jim wolf is gonna tune so im hopin that works out better

thats what the motors come with...the cvt tranny..... and they work GREAT. dont know how much a who responded has actually driven a car with this type a tranny but it our performs any other auto tranny for the sr motor. if u looking for outrite power then no auto tranny is the way to unleash it...manual is the way.... i say read some more and maybe call ppl in countries that has them there working

i guess it just wont work right in my car, the selector wont work in my sentra, i dont feel like spending the extra 1000 to convert my car from auto to manual ethier, plus this is my work car and manual just isnt worth the stop and go traffic i deal with on a regular basis
