NA for life!

Boosted is fun for a while, but then you realize you spend more time fixing, upgrading, tuning than you actually do DRIVING.

Perhaps..... but with a 13B na I can't have it on the dyno while little bits of transmission scatter themselves from underneath the car while a puddle of tranny fluid is ever expanding from underneath while the turbo monster I built and tuned just purrs at idle laughing at the broken shafts and chunks of AL casing that are soaked in awesomeness.

Well, you can.

P-port, full race bearings, massive ITB's, RPM's so high the trans bearings will seize leaving a trail of glory, and parts.

I'm on my third or fourth tranny. . . I can vouch for this as fact. Specifically the HIGH RPMs!

***TitaniumTT*** · 02-01-2017, 12:56 PM

I'm talking case breaking torque here.... not 12k rpm's that kill bearings and sync's

who is revving to 12k? NA cars really destroys transmissions faster than Turbo?

FC Zach · 02-15-2017, 11:59 AM

I was high up there, maybe more, maybe less. . The gauge only goes to 8 so it's hard to tell.

FC Zach · 02-15-2017, 12:01 PM

I had a video of me test driving the car open down pipe and burying the needle for seconds. .

Anything will destroy the trans with RPM's way above what the bearings and lubrication limitations are.

So, 7-8-9k good to go. Past 10k, shit gets hectic.

Most turbo cars break them with torque.

The ITS cars were killing the N/A trannies on the back straight at pocono.... just winding them out in 5th and burning up the bearings

10,248 rpms.... I broke a corner seal and bounced the rotors off the plates. Tranny lived

Someone needs to donate an S2 trans to me so I can figure out how to get them into FC's

FC Zach · 02-15-2017, 12:22 PM

The trans I'm replacing. . Till I can get it rebuilt to put back in is a JDM S5 TII. I'm buying a rebuilt S4 TII to hold me off till I can get the S5 repaired.

***TitaniumTT*** · 02-15-2017, 12:25 PM

Wait, you had an S2 RX8 tranny in your FC and that's what took a shit?

FC Zach · 02-15-2017, 12:27 PM

No, all I've ever had in the FC was NAs and TIIs

I blew a s2 RX8 trans at the track. Vin and Adler had to come rescue me in Bowling Green on a school night. Didn't get home until after mid night. Good times.
