...I guess it wouldnt hurt the transmission to put a turbo on it? What do you guys think? Can the auto tranny last at least 3 years under boost? (like around 8.5psi, ;-) )

How come other cars with auto tranny's have turbos and still work well (like a GTI MKV)

Thanks!

adding boost to a stock auto tranny is not really "taking care of it" its more like "putting stress on it and hoping it wont die"

how long has your tranny held up for?

boosted for like 2 months, been to the track, dyno everything

The stock tranny should be able to handle the supercharger in stock form for years just fine. The SC is only adding 30 something extra tq with the reflash ( on the manuals, not sure exact tq #'s on the auto SC but im sure its a few less). When you start talking about a turbo on a stock auto tranny no one knows yet. They've only been out for a few months now. Since turbos will naturally put down more tq it will shorten the life of the tranny for sure. If you run 5 psi on the current turbo's available for the auto's you should be fine for at least a couple years.

Once you start upping the boost or using larger turbos is where the auto tranny will probably start to show some problems. Follow some of the other threads where people are attempting to push 300 hp+lots of tq and see how long they'll last. No one knows for sure.

ive been boost sine feb and no issues...there use to be a great guy on here name sciondad who boosted his daughters auto tC hes been boosted about 2 yrs almost and no issues as far as ikonw of.

mike6789k

excellent! thank you! :D

is the dezod auto tc kit set at 5 psi? or do you have to change the wastegate spring?

engifineer

Well, how is anyone supposed to know "how long it will last" ? No one knows. And it depends on the driver, they type of boost, etc. For example, a turbo that comes in hard and quick is going to put more strain than one that comes in less aggressive. And it all comes back to how you drive it. This isnt a question anyone can really answer.

engifineer

Yep, sciondad was running a zpi stage 0 on an auto. No issues that I know of tranny wise. But again, it all depends on how it is driven. You could run 10 psi and make it last forever if you granny it.

whatever happened to Sciondad? I thought his posts were always informative...

318_tC

yes 5lb spring....just wait till push it

peteyd

he has had some personal issues...he's been going thru a very tough time. i had his cell # somewhere i lost it...i need to see if i can find it.

engifineer

^^ yes, I need to get a hold of him. He is a great guy and a very intelligent one at that. I used to have his email I think. I hope things are going ok for him. If you do speak to him pete, tell him engifineer aka Dave says hello.

If your worried about hurting your tranny dont do it. It will haunt you forever, and you will never enjoy your car.

OW3ND!!

that wasnt pwnage like ive seen pwnage.lol must be the zpi.

engifineer

It really wasnt.. . considering it is an unanswerable question. It could easilly vary 50,000 miles depending on a million different variables.

rhythmnsmoke

He got ow3nd because he tried to tell him to search...
