Thats why there are programmers for the chr they change factory settingsA turbo for the chr USA model is useless because of the CVT transmission no matter how much horsepower you put to that CVT it's only going to allow what the computer let's it to the wheels
They have one already go to performance chip tuningShaggy,
Really? If that's so, it's a huge letdown. So if we were to add either Super or Turbochargers, we'd see zero improvement in acceleration, power and performance? It seems like someone just needs to come out with tweaked programming for the CVT no? Do you have a solid link to share on this kind of information? I'd love to edify myself. I appreciate your reply!
Thanks,

Just do cold air and exhaust thats goodFirst, I doubt the CVT used in our cars will handle any significant increase in horsepower. If you understand how CVTs operate, you'll understand why. CVTs don't have actual gears and are only built for fuel economy. The only exception is the CVT used in the new Corolla HB which has a physical 1st gear.
Second, it's not simple to just throw a turbo onto any engine. You have to make sure the engine internals are built to handle forced induction. Many times, the compression ratio of a forced induction engine is lowered compared to a naturally aspirated one. Also, you have to see if any of the cast parts such as the piston, connecting rod, and crank are strong enough to deal with the increased stresses from forced induction. I highly doubt there are any forged internals used in this motor.
Third, fueling and mapping. Unless you have access to a dyno or find some tuner which will spend the time to create a proper map for this engine using forced induction, you're wasting your time.
I don't want to sound callous, but if you wanted a performance car, you should have purchased one from the beginning. If you look at my list of gripes about this car in another thread, I bring up the poor choice of engine by Toyota for this platform. Especially since the chassis is so good handling wise and will support tons of power as evidenced by a tuner who converted a C-HR into rear wheel drive and threw in a turbo 4 producing 600 HP. If you have any notion of trying this, you better have a big bank account. And after all the money that is spent, you'd be further ahead by buying a car with the performance from the factory as stock. I've done tons of modding in my past. I learned a lot about cars doing this. I modd'ed a 94 Z24 with the 60 degree V6. 1.6 ratio Crane roller rockers, Crane Compucam 2030, attempted all different kinds of performance chips, and 50 shot of dry spray nitrous. While it was kind of fun building an absolute sleeper, as I got older I recognize how much money I wasted in building up that car. My next cars were a 94 Z28 with the 350 small block Chevy LT1 motor and now with my 13 BMW 135i. My 19 C-HR's engine remains unmolested and will stay so as it's not worth the aggravation or the possible reduction in reliability. If someone does a flash tune or some sort of piggy back tune which I can see an actual dyno chart on along with a few real world testimonials, I would consider it. Tearing into the motor? No thanks.
Don't bother the CVT will hold back most of the gained hp from forced induction. Get Nismo Nisan juke.Hi Everyone!
I'm just wondering why there are no aftermarket Turbo kits for our NA 2.0 Engine? It seems ripe for it. Decent displacement, and under powered, so perfect for modding this way. I've been scouring the web for either universal parts to make it work, or a kit, and haven't really found either. Has anyone else gotten lucky and either found a kit, or culled together parts to make this magic happen?

Why get a Nismo Juke? Regular Juke SV M6 is just a detuned Nismo without the bodykit. Same exact engine and can be had with under 80k mile for around $5k US dollars.Don't bother the CVT will hold back most of the gained hp from forced induction. Get Nismo Nisan juke.
It is not the power plant, it's the CVT transmission.I agree with you the car handles great. I strongly disagree with you that the engine is adequate. In my area, with thick traffic which often requires you to pass cars to get anywhere, you have to plan a few seconds ahead of actually making the move because the engine is so anemic. And no, I don't drive the car hard as I average around 30 MPG. I have my sports car and my sport bikes to go fast in. It's also shameful how much gas I have to give it to maintain speed at 80 MPH (yes, I have a highway that is 70 MPH as a speed limit and I do 10 over as my standard) if there is even a slight breeze.
I will continue to say the C-HR is a half finished car because the power plant Toyota put into the Corolla HB, Cross, and the Lexus UX should have been in this car from the beginning.
It is the power plant...point blank...full stop. Honda uses a CVT with their HR-V. Yet the HR-V can accelerate from 0 to 60 MPH two seconds faster than the C-HR. The C-HR is THE slowest car in this category of cars. I wonder why? People need to stop making excuses for Toyota's poor decisions. Only when people start holding them accountable by actually being honest with the shortcomings of this vehicle will we get a better product.It is not the power plant, it's the CVT transmission.
