Re: Light Turbo/Supercharger of the X-Trail.....How???
Wow. Initial thoughts on this would be to upgrade the injectors to maybe wrx 660cc, inline fuel pump like a walbro, exhaust and headers definitely need to be upgraded, bye bye cats or have a very high cel one, 200cel. I doubt the computer could compute the new ratios etc, nothing is impossible tho. Just get something like Adaptronic or piggy back.
If the charger actually fits up between the fire wall and the manifold it would be fairly straightforward build.
The aircon tubing can just be re-run around the new belt and the power steering hose lengthened and attached to the chassis out of the way,
Please someone attemp this (ahem Kev), hope ur clutch is up to it

Re: Re:
I have the impression that the 2.5 L Renault motor in the X-Trail is quite under-stressed as it sits.
That may be for a reason for that.
Has it ever been 'worked' to become a performance motor in anything else?
If it is a motor sport dead-end, it seems there must be some valid reason(s) not to do so as it is the nature of mankind to make even the most innocuous motor a ravening beast (if possible).
e.g. development of the Mini 850 motor to 'Cooper S' capability.
I prefer superchargers to turbo (it's a generational thing and I think they have better physics) and would happily bolt one on - if it was easy.
Even though I find it hard to reach 4,000 rpm on the roads available to me.

Re:
The QR25DE is not a Renault motor, the M9R (diesel) is. The possibilities for power enhacing the QR25DE are endless and you can indeed get a good kick out of it, the shape of the car and its weight is the hindering factor and so is the CVT transmission in the T31

Re: Light Turbo/Supercharger of the X-Trail.....How???
It hasn't been done yet.
Not just a case of bolting it on...you will need a piggy-back ecu to help with tuning, new injectors for higher fuel rate, manifold adapter plate to marry the M90 to the intake runners, second belt or extended belt for power of which there is the brake fluid reservoir in the way. The adapter plate has never been made by anyone, either here or in the USA where they have our engines in many smaller sport model Sentras.
The first to do it has a lot of investigations to do which is why I have not progressed with it mechanically yet.
