K31th is just being obtuse, pay him no mind An na 6 speed trans will be fine unless you intend to make lots of power or flog it relentlessly, and if it does crap out it's only a few hundred bucks for a new one. You could easily get a second hand turbo trans that is stuffed and that's a whole lot more money to replace. Also a turbo trans is much more likely to be stuffed because turbo

I take your point. I don’t think it’s really marketing if they aren’t supplying the box though. I was just asking what their experience is of NA boxes in turbo cars… I’m still leaning towards trying to find a turbo one for ok money but from what I’ve read I reckon an NA one that’s had a bit of a service and look over might be ok for my stock to slightly modded Ute.

sounds like marketing to me ask him how it goes when tehy do have issues and how painful the process is to deal with something like that.

Interestingly he did say they have had multiple cars pushing 300kw atw on NA autos with no issues.

morning all, happy Wednesday 🔥

replaced the crapped out rear engine mount & popped a Fenix heavy duty radiator into it

morning all, happy Tuesday ☄️

Yeah I thought so too. Seems fair and responded quickly. Will definitely meet with them.

Yep, using a 4 port. Driveline = T56 Magnum, built single piece tailshaft, big driveshafts. It should take it, but traction will be the limiting factor. I managed to get it to hook up pretty well with 120TW Zestino semi slicks on the old setup

Cheers man

embedded the vid for ya

This is how the car goes anyway. No high stall, no diff gears...yet, just send it lol https://I.imgur.com/Xv0jbLp.mp4 @k31thcan you embed that please?

A more sensible approach would be to run a 4 port boost solenoid and have them send it in a bit later. Be kind to the drivetrain etc

Free boost? Why not 🤷‍♂️

That sounds like someone who wants the job and will do it for a fair price. You can't really go wrong with that.

So Maxx Performance got back to me pretty quickly with the below. What we think?

I dare you to run it with the line to the top of the gate

Full Darton sleeves going into a new block. Plus upgrading fire ring head gasket. Literally the only thing this motor doesn't have now it a billet block. It hurts

morning all, happy Monday ⛄

Thanks mate appreciate the input. I guess the other option would be to pick a box up that has issues ( hopefully for very cheap) and have it built…

Manual trans swaps seem to fetch $5k for trans, clutch, pedals etc. I imagine you could negotiate a 1:1 swap with someone, but wading through the dreamers will be tough. Lots of people seem to be opting for the ZF 8 speed swap these days. That's an expensive swap... The only other thing to factor is that it's a fair risk buying a used ZF. In principle, if you could find one from a wreck with low km maybe it'd be ok, but lots of worn out ones out there. And most people that get them reconditioned seem to have issues. I think your idea is sound. In Melb you could have a chat with Max Performance to give you a ballpark. They might even recommend someone else.

Hey liam, were you reaching 105c with an external transmission cooler installed without a fan? what cooler did you use and where was it placed? Or were u hitting 105c with the factory heat exchanger cheers

Thanks for coming back to let us know how it went.

definitely an improvement
