I'm aware a turbo on a cvt probably won't last long. Then again, Honda has a few 1.5l turbo cvt don't they? Iirc their new accord or so, and some other car only has 1.5l turbo cvt...

Does anyone know of a part I can get, or do I have to kind of make, or find someone who can build a custom turbo kit to fit in a 2020 cvt?

I do know of one I've seen on this forum, but I don't wish to order over seas at this time. Though they may be legit, I probably will never receive it.

 

So far a turbocharger kit does not exist for the GK5 with the L15B1... Other markets which got what I believe was the L15Z1 have options but it is NOT cross compatible with the B1. Hasport Performance and Axion Industries are working on a L15B7/BE swap which is sourced from the 10th gen Accord and Civic, along with the 5th gem CR-V. The build progress is on here and has documented their GK swap thread can be found with brief search.

Now, just my personal thoughts and semi-thinking/speculation 'out loud' via text. Its disappointing but not surprising how we honestly didn't get a turbo L series Fit as a performance variant and answer to Ford's Focus and Fiesta STs, MINI's Cooper S, VW's Golf, and so on in the performance compact segment. Granted yes... Some of those cars were pulled from the US market, like the STs, in favor of compact SUVs but they did sell quite well for their time before their market died down due to the CUV increasing in popularity.

A simple parts raid in the Vezel's parts bin (European HR-V) which has the turbocharged L15BY and a 6MT option and adapt it and the chassis accordingly to the GK. The reason being, the RU chassis HR-V/Vezel is a similar platform to the GK and the turbo L series fits quite well in it.

 

Good luck with that dream.

 

Eh... I wouldn't call it a dream since I've recently learned that a factory turbo GK does exist.

Just not exactly in the format many would expect as it is only sold in India as a diesel. Still... Interesting to see though.

 

"Powering the new-geneneration Honda Jazz is a 1.2-liter L12B i-VTEC motor churning a peak power of 90 PS (89 hp; 66 kW) and a 1.5-liter N15 i-DTEC, Earth Dreams diesel engine having a power of 100 PS (99 hp; 74 kW). India is the first and the only market, where the Jazz has been offered in diesel. The diesel engine is mated to a six-speed manual transmission."

The India market only diesel only comes 6 speed. No turbo CVT.

 

I know this isn’t the right place for this but, Damn. I’m just mad that a GK AWD exists and no one state side has done this mod or even looked in to it or has one for that matter. Why keep living. Look it up on YT if your curious and wants to be forever frustrated.

 

GK AWD exists but with a smaller motor.

 

So I’m guessing a K swap with that trans is impossible? Or even k swap with the crv transmission that I’ve heard of.
