yeh all good man im not arguing with u just talking... interesting topic

ye dave, NA auto box

its just a box, if it blows, get another one

true that hopefully ill be puting my transcooler on next sat bump......

Transmission coolers are good things dave, why don't u put it on today?

im at work today. and il need to get new oil aswell. not 100% sure how to hook it up. but ill get it done

My brothers stock VLT auto was rebuilt about 50000kms ago, it makes 163rwkw on 10-11psi and is going strong enough to keep him happy. Compared to mine which is rebuilt with shift kit and strengthed bands etc. his feels lazy between gears but still does the job. He's not gentle on it either I assure you.

cool... what does his feel like between gears to urs? does it just float around the redline when changing to 2nd, and urs just snaps into second ?

Pretty much man, his is not too bad, but yeah it kinda slurs into 2nd.

hehe thought so, cool mate thanks

just wondering, ive got NA autobox with: -VLT valvebody with stage3 shiftkit -VLT torque converter -tranny cooler my calais is currently NA..... but how would this all go on 12-14psi

Depends on condition of clutches/bands...should be fine as long as you can keep it reasonably cool and dont go circuit racing it or somethin silly...

ihad a new clutch in mf5 and had it rebuilt it done 10,000kms i got it tuned made 145rwkws on 7psi the second night i got it back boom striped alot of teeth of third and was no longer useable as well as the rest of the gears where very very loud but it still keept going for a month and i was giv'n it heaps then i just got an mx7 box its good but the bearing is starting to make noises

yeh i put a B&M Supercooler to replace my old stock bt1 transcooler and its really good. highly recommend. keeps the box nice and cool. Steve my mates VLT BT1 stuffed up on 14psi and that was a VLT auto. he was only running the stock bt1 transcooler. i recommend upgrading to something bigger and better. my b&m only cost $150 and its a top transcooler

Lookin at vlct with a n/a 5spd. Had the motor put in it. It's got a 3" exhaust that's all. When i get it i'll put a cooler and filter. Got a boost controller so i'll probably run it about 8psi. How ya reckon it will hold up for street use?

How ya reckon it will hold up for street use? look dude its hard to say but if i had my time again id just buy a car with the mx7 box at the start and would nt have to of recoed the n/a once and buy the mx7 my n/a box did 10,000 kms max since rebuild and it lost 3rd on me only had 145rwkws at the time

i had an mf5 and was running 15psi for over a year and a half, didn't have a problem, just dont go hammering it off the line or cracking gears to hard. I swapped over to r33 now

i got about 150-160 rwkws on 6 pound and its taken it for over a year most it would have held temporarily is 16 pound for bout 3 days still goes good i've had it for 30000 k's god knows what its done before me
