So here is a picture of it from the JATCO site:
And here is what they say:
Belt CVT for medium vehicles JF011E * Light and compact design
* Wider gear ratio range for both acceleration performance and fuel consumption * High efficiency and fuel economy at the top of its class * Applicable up to 2.5-liter class * Main vehicles equipped with this CVT:
NISSAN LAFESTA, SERENA,
BLUEBIRD SYLPHY
MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER, DELICA D:5
SUZUKI LANDY
DAIMLERCHRYSLER DODGE CALIBER,
JEEP COMPASS, JEEP PATRIOT
According to what I've read, from a few sources, the CVT's computer communicates with the engine's computer. So what do they talk about? It seems that if the CVT doesn't like all the torque it's getting from the engine, it tells the engine to back off. Then the CVT goes to a lower ratio. All this to prevent the belt from slipping.
As you can see from above, this CVT is good for up to a 2.5 liter engine. I suspect most 2.5 liter engines have a certain maximum horsepower and torque. This leads me to believe that to much hp is going to be counter productive.
