Prl inlet pipe with PRL cobra air intake from si

OP, I hope you are planning on doing a manual swap with a built transmission. A W3 turbo on a CVT is going to launch that thing into outer space.

There are plenty of threads about the limits of the CVT, but you really don't want to go anything above FBO. (Conservative flex fuel might be ok, upgraded fuel system or turbo, definitely not)

Also consider that you can destroy the CVT even at stock power levels by brake boosting, hard launches, and overall abuse.

To be fair and I'm basing this on facts from my tuning reliability thread, the CVT is more robust than some think. We've had quite a few CVT guys running high output custom flex fuel tunes with FBO and upgraded turbos that have been trouble free. Matter of fact I think the one advantage of some aftermarket turbos is that the power curve is skewed a bit to the right. The biggest CVT killer is abuse.

For example here's one:

The data doesn't lie when it comes to CVTs. If you take care of them, they'll hold some pretty decent power.

I am a little wary of the OP though, the 27WON W3 is a large turbo with large target numbers. OP also mentioned that they want to go TSP built block. I'm not sure how long it will last at W3 power levels. Do we have data on 450HP+ CVTs?

A huge turbo will keep you out of too much torque down low, but I wonder if the high end torque will just be too much for it to handle.

P.S. A more tastefully edited version of my previous message is, OP, 450HP+ CVT sounds like a pretty sick project, but be aware that there is a lot more risk.

it will fit just fine besides the MAF housing. Everything else is exactly the same.

all you have to do is get a non-si MAF sensor housing lol.
Absolutely worth it to purchase if you're saving a lot compared to buying the whole thing brand new.

I wasn't referring to a W3. The guy I quoted was on a W1. 300WHP is about the most power I'd even consider with the Non-Si CVTs on stock internals. And the guy I linked had a hatchback.

Right, OP is talking W3 + Built TSP Block + CVT. W1 with CVT common sense should be fine.

OP. Yeah the guy who refuses to add his car to my tuning thread but at some point might be in my failures thread. This place!!

Too late I already ordered w3 but I am saving up from tsp block engine hope it can cover from what I heard it can withstand abuse to 500whp up so I think it will hold for now , but mostly this car for car show I barely bring to track I just wanna show off cvt engine

I was more worry about my downpipe should change too ? I got my PRL downpipe will it hold ? I just need more advice about fuel system what should I get

That's why I almost buy the si from marketplace but I wanna make sure first , the maf totally different

might aswell buy my new in box W2 BB. been waiting a long while for my W3 and its still going to take another month

W3 definitely more fun besides I've been targeting this for awhile too from 27won

27won won’t sell the turbo it says on their website not recommended for cvt

Good input but you might wanna search more brother, here some link and check it https://www.civicx.com/forum/threads/27won-turbo-upgrade-on-cvt.31460/

Also u need new engine block that's why I want to buy tsp block engine to withstand the power it said will hold more you just need to tune it right and u can remove the limit too
