[Fletchman04]

so what your saying is, we need for the transmission: tranny cooler, T/C, the overhaul kit, fluid....and what else if anything?

i've been running 5psi and occasionally 8psi or so since july or whenever i first got my sf kit....

i had some clutch plate slippage issues when shifting at full throttle but upon adding some lucas transmission fix additive it stopped doing that...the clutch plates bite very hard now...i the additive is supposed to increase hydraulic pressure within the transmission...

i'm not using a transmission cooler currently...its still in my closet waiting to be installed

[reytito]

i have auto, but to me...the amount of money spent on tranny upgrade and TC is about the same and typically more than the price of a manual transmission. i'm still debating whether or not to get build up the auto or to swap a manny. definetly pluses to either choice....what do you guys think?

[TheSmuggler]

Well, I thought about the manual swap, but then I decided against it. I mean im afraid something might go wrong or whatnot. Also, I'd love to build up my auto just so I can show people that autos don't completely suck. Also I live in a place where a manual tranny isnt the best idea (lots of stop and go). I just want a strong auto tranny that wont fall apart if I boost it a little (max 9 psi).

anyone have 1/4 mile times with autos, and list of kills.....

[mndthegap1]

im waiting on my turbo kit from SF. all paid just waiting for my tracking #. anyway i have a 02 ec coupe auto. ordered SF kit, tranny cooler, alcohol injection, either turbo xs manuall boost controler or hallman boost controller. eventually torque converter but expensive so might go w/ level 10 tranny kit.

[EnProceso]

i'm also just waiting on my kit. i'm almost pretty much set, i'll be getting the base kit with upgraded turbo, alcohol injection, tranny cooler, TCI overhaul kit and GReddy PRofec-B spec II boost controller. i'll be getting the overhaul kit put in a couple weeks after my kit though, i was estimated $400 for the install of that alone. i'm looking for someone selling a torque converter cuz i cant afford to have down time since its my daily driver, but i'm looking into level 10 also cuz i hear JMO prices suck.

[CivicMexicano]

there must be some members with auto already, boosted, i wanna know what type of cars they've killed....

[lucky13matt]

well i have been boosting my auto for about 6 months and so far so good. i just installed my greddy profec b spec II i was tunning the boost controller i have the low boost set at 6lbs and high at 9lbs. while tunning i hit 10lbs and it felt very nice. ahahahaha
