Strong Auto Upgrade

[turbotrana]

I got ya message Worpor. The trans specialist are secretive about the BTR 4sp cause revealling tricks of the trade will loose them business. The problem is that the average trans rebuilder knows very little about tricking the BTR 4sp unless they are actively testing them with high power on the street and strip, which only a few do. And very few trans rebuilders have ever studied the fluid diagrams of the 4sp which reveals a large secret about it that improves the holding power of the bands and clutchs heaps. Once I get my 600 rwhp motor finished I will be able to test my tranny mods properly but until then I am have only got time for getting my beast together inbetween other priority non hobby work.

Hey guys I think APS also do a kit for gearboxes now to complement there stage 3 kit could be worth checking out.

I'm going to get my auto played with before I start modding. I'm gonna get the line pressure increased and check to see if the belts are these kevlar whatsits, if not get them replaced also.

Can someone tell me if this will be sufficient for these mods.

CAI

XR8 air filter

Exhaust

injectors

unichip tuned to suit the above mods.

Please help.

From what I have been told by 'reliable sources' the line pressure increase will eventually cause more problems then its worth. Basiaccly the pumps dont like the increase is pressure and they are starting to fail at a LARGE RATE!!!!!

The standard box with the standard pressure SHOULD be reliable up to 600hp!!

But yes, dont get me wrong, it will make the car shift harder and less wear on the bands! But u have to weigh up the options really!! If you dont do the whole box properly, its gunna let go - period!!

HA

I wish the standard planetry gears fail at 630nm. 600 hp it way over that.

Hustler,

What work has been done to your box then if you have a phase II, that's assuming your T is an auto of course.

Obviously these boxes are not handling anywhere near 600hp, it was just a general staement made by a auto technician! He is doing some MAJOR investigating as to why they are not handling stuff all after any kind of upgrade!!

As of now I am not exactly sure what work is being done to my auto gearbox.

Basically dominator have my tq convertor and are replacing a whole list of parts that I cant rememer atm. I am having MAGOR valve body mods done, fair bit of gear strengthing, they said up to 30 percent better tourue handling through out the gears, bigger stronger seal pumps and such, too much stuff to list as I cant remember most of what he said!! complete kevler bands replacements! If I am allowed to post exactly everthing they done I certainly will, but that will be up to the auto technican, and what he tells me I guess!!

He also said that their will not be a pressure increase as done in the APS auto upgrade as they say it is not the problem. I am defeintely not mechanic of any sought, and am just repeating what I have been told, I am travelling to adelaide on friday to talk to the guy one on one, hopefully then I will have a greater understanding of exactly what is going to happen and I will definetly post wat I can!!! Hopefully everyone can benefit from this, because as far as I have read, no one has gone an extreme auto upgrade yet, Im looking at about 4 grand atm!!
