Looks like a KO3 from a VW... Those are good numbers for only 4.5psi, do you know if it has any supporting mods? I would like to it see with with full exhaust, intake, and 10 psi.
not really looking into it for myself as much as i was just trying to avoid people thinking they could slap this on their HR16DE and turn up the boost thinking they are going to make big power and then blowing up the engine and wondering why it happened. really good setup they have going there though and hopefully they will think about shipping them out to us, heck any aftermarket for the versa is a good thing. i know personally that just the intake on mine alone provided a pretty good gain and makes me think this engine has alot more potential than what Nissan tunes it for which is mostly for gas savings and not performance.
I think it was all stock besides the turbo. Even used the stock airbox. More info can be seen here but you need to use a translator. Δοκιμή: Qashqai 1.6L light turbo by Nissan ΚυÏιακοÏδης
I would hope people are smarter then just upping the boost but you never know. Everyone should educate themselves on how turbo work before taking something like this on. I suggest reading Corky Bell's book called Maximum Boost. It's old now and some info might be a little dated but it's definitely a good place to start.
No one knows what stock internals can handle. Only way to find out is to blow one up
. As far as the stock maf only being able to handle 4.5 psi do you have any sources for this? I would think stock injectors would run out before the maf.
I'm just going by past experiences with Hondas. Every time I pushed past 10 psi on a b series it would fail. Usually at the ring lands, sometimes the head bolts. What ever was weakest at the time. And I'm just guessing about the maf sensor because when ausi-tiida ( I think that's his name) pushed past 4.5 he seemed to describe just such issues. And you're probably right about the injectors. Stock b series risk injector lock running at that efficiency. An upgrade to 450 cc injectors cured that. I will have to Google what cc our stock injectors are. I bet most of this information is on the juke forums. They've probably blown an engine or two already turning the boost up! I feels good to see all these new parts and kits being developed. It's nice to have options.No one knows what stock internals can handle. Only way to find out is to blow one up
Engines are really cheap for these cars and plentiful. That is a plus for sure.
every engine is different. I come from boosted SR20's. Those things when turbo charged can take a beating. Stock injectors (259cc) at 4bar of fuel can put down about 200whp. The stock maf is good for little over 200 unless you have a 2000-2002 maf then it's good for over 300. I do recall now aus-tiida having issues with maf though.
you also have to remember though too that the SR20 was an iron block engine where most of Nissans engines are now all aluminum including the block, as i recall iron blocks can take alot more of a beating especially when it comes to boost.
my mistake, was thinking of the CA based engines that pre dated the SR lol
I'm emailing back with my address to figure out shipping. I'm assuming it's going to be close to $1500 USD for those parts to an address in the US. Pricey
having second thoughts about this...i might do it, but probably wont be till later on down the road...got some other projects that are kinda hush hush right now going on with the Note and won't be finalized till around december or januaryHe responded

I think I have gone as far as I'm going to go with this. So if someone really wants to turbo their HR16DE you now have an option. I would love to see a turbo Note. If someone does that I'll make you some free "ST killer" decals and maybe even a cool custom stainless steel emblem.
