hii every 1 im currently doin up a vl calais turbo its got gt35/t04z turbo , crow tx2 cam . microtech . 2 0'44 pumps , 1000cc injectors n wanna go auto i understand jatco wont b able 2 handle 4 that long , a friend said she got a th400 dehind her vl turbo got adapter plate . using th350 converter , does that sound right ? , custom tailshaft , gearbox mount , who make adapter plates n converters 2 suit ? thanks Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Why would you wanna do that ?

y not ?

Turbo 400's are a tough box and cheap to build . But they are heavy and suck quite a bit of power and to set one up behind an RB30 will be expensive .

factory they can handle abit , yess they heavy but ohwell , b cheaper the jatco n powerglide

Building a Jatco would be a far more cost effective option and wouldnt have any trouble handling the power that it would be producing. But if you are set on T400 i'd hit up http://rodshop.com.au/

jatco r expensive , mate spent over 4 k on box alone n lasted a whole 2 weeks , i want something strong

Dont no who built his jatco but they are strong on the street go to the jatco gurus GZM and get a 450kw jatco 3speed built

or just bite the bullet and go a powerglide...

If you deal with the right people , I'm sure you'll find someone that will build you a tough Jatco . Maybe speak to someone like Al's Race Glides or Protrans .

i already got a th350 there gearbox crossmember , the jatco was build by a good specialist n workshops runs 10's all day with only a gt35 n no e85 , i wanna strong box so down the track i can go bigger engine , i found a castemain rodshop have a good kit

tick put a trimatic in it, there cheap tuff as nails, no tunnel mods needed and off the shelf conversions for them inc speedo cable and tail shafts.......and to be honest tick by the time u build a tuff engine ull want to go glide any way.......tull manual trimatic with 3500 stall is killa on the street with your set up trust me on this

I personally use a C4 if you're after a strong and light 3 speed that will handle a transbrake .

yeah greame i can get a trimatic setup 4 $1200 atm , i hope still 4 sale in 2 weeks i get it Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

glide

You will go faster in a 3speed with those mods, glides really only come into there own when you are making 400rwkw plus. As others said go a C4, Maatouks have had cars running 7's on a C4, turbo 400 are good as well.

Turbo400 setup properly will set u back 8-10k that will handle about 1500hp

Boosted wagon you hit the nail right on the head... I have the same setup with 380kw on e85 with Trimatic and a 3300rpm converter it's killer on the street and on the track it went 9.9 It comes down to quality parts and the driver dnt load them up in 2nd or 3rd and pretty much just treat them right n u will be sweet

Has anyone got any pics of the turbo 400 bolted behind the rb What adapter have you used Has anyone used a turbo 350 behind a rb before

ive got a glide 20 psi with 35 and ran 10.5. So reliable compared to Jatco and so many parts available. Atleast the beef is there if you ever want to step it up, same goes with TH400 boxes. I'd rather have it sap power and not break twice a year like most Jatco's seem to. MV Auto do a RB to TH400 bellhousing. http://www.mvautomatics.com.au/products.html Will have to bash out your trans tunnel, custom cross member and B&M etc shifter.
