Just got a quote form KEAS ,they gave me a few options listed below.....
VLRB30 JATCO 4 Speed Options
Stage III- Rated to 15psi $1,870.00
220kW- reliable up to 18-19psi $2,090.00
350kW- Up to 35psi $3,190.00
I'm just wondering who has any of the following at the moment in their car and what power they are pushing through there trans.....?
Most people opt for a 3 speed JATCO package. A 350kW Full Manual 3 speed with Hi Stall $3,190.00..........
Cheers...Guys
Does anyone have a tranny form KEAS on this site at all they can talk about?
I have a st3 4 speed as well with std convertor and it is awesome, good around town and on the highway it feels like a std box but when you nail it the shifts are nice and firm and progressive. I can also highly recommend paul to anyone, he is a top bloke and looks after his customers 100%.
Thanks for the comments guys,I will definetely be going with the 350 kw option so it's strong enough for future mods.....
Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
im only making in the low low 200rwkw mark and have the 220kw 4 speed man valve body box.
its THE BEST THING I EVER DID TO THE CAR. flawless shifts. even the 3rd to o/d is rock hard and instantaneous as soon as i push the pwr button..
my old 'highly modified' 4 speed jatco from another shop was nothing like this and cost just as much!!
get him to do the converter too.
do it once, do it KEAS i say

When built for it, 4th gear can be given as much crap as any other gear..
However its the intermediate shaft that can be prone to breaking, normally during a heavy upshift, in any of the lower gears
Just got a KEAS glide, had a few teething probs, but Pauls service and
help fixing it was second to none, 10 out of 10, I have 500hp at the wheels on
pump now
cheers

paul has built himself a reputation among the VL turbo scene as being one of the best jatco transmission specialists out there, and for good reason. i remember when he was just starting out with this site, helped me install a shift kit into my dunger at the time via the internet. always willing to help and knows as much as can be known about auto transmissions.
in short, get a KEAS box.
i'm just wondering how you can rate a gearbox in terms of boost pressure, that's just weird. does that mean if you put a 700hp n/a V10 in front of it then it will last forever? haha i wish!
Yeah when I emailed paul he replied with the info I needed the next day and didn't beat around the bush with crap talk ,he specified everything including the internal specs ,power options ,pricing, everything you need to know....
