Im thinking about converting my evo 8 to automatic, there was a japanese evo7 with an auto transmission ... 5 speed auto with paddles...could be sick...Ive been trying to track down one in japan thats been wrecked but I think they only made like 2000..if anyone has any input or leads to get this pleaselet me know

 

If you're going to spend that much, John, why not consider the HKS sequential?

 

HKS sequential? please give me details...I want a very streetable daily driver...but with 500 whp

 

I am checking for a link now. I believe Quaife also makes one. It uses a sequential dogbox. Very reliable, very easy to use, VERY EXPENSIVE....

Check with RB Motoring - they list the Hollinger and OS Giken sequentials on their site. I know RMR in Cali sells the Hollinger box, too.

 

You probably don't want that setup for a street car. I would bet its a pretty uncomfortable shift. Ask RRE...I think they have a sequential on their street-legal track car.

 

there was an auto in one of the evo 7's, 5 speed Im sure with a more agressive valve body and a nice tc i can have a really nice well rounded package

 

Get a E55 and call it a day.

 

i passed on the e55 to get the evo...an auto trans would make this car perfect in my eyes

 

automatic evo 7.5

You are right, the E55 has no feel. I think a auto trans would be nice. You are going to end up with a $80,000 evo man. lol

 

with the stereo and all...you may be right...but I came this far..I think getting a GTA tranny would be INSANE!!, now where do I find one...and I wonder what ecu i would use...I now have aem...is the GTA tranny controlled by the ecu?

 

I would get the car running right then go for the tranny, 1 thing at a time man. Call someone who has one on there car, someone posted it here and see how hard it was to do. Take it slow this time man and fix the **** that does not work first before you add more to it.

 

the car actually may be done this time...my turbo is in ....the header is getting coated...the aem is supposed to be working..we will see...but when its all dialed in and working....Im going for the GTA tranny...and instead of push buttons....maybe paddles? lets see...Im still curious whats involved in the swap

 

I am sure it's not too bad. Glad to see you have the car running good.

 

cars not running yet but thank you for your good wishes....does anyone know if the auto tranny can handle 500whp? are there good aftermarket tc for this tranny?
