Has anybody here ever tried WPC treatment? It is very well regarded in some areas of the net.

 

when the auto setup for the evo becomes bullet proof sort of like fti trannys for supras, im jumping in
good luck guys..

 

Talked with Nathan and it looks like the 1st order of 20 shift knobs will be in before too long. For those of us that use a B&M they go on as is, for stock shifters I need to get some adapters made or purchased to run 1/2-20 on the stock metric threads.

 

any update on the trans?

 

What he said^^^

 

Andrew's has yet to break. I am still stuck in the middle of a build I should have been wrapping up 4 months ago. Different turbo kit yet again will go on the car, this time an ETS forward facing with the twin scroll 3794 still.

We are having the shafts made that David broke, I was on the dyno basically all week so I am not sure where we are on them when Luke called our place thats doing those. We have some other ideas for drag only trans applications that will help, but will undoubtedly cause some other issues in the long term and wouldnt be a good idea for a mostly street car application.

Jeff got his Turbo Outlander finished up over the weekend and him and I got it tuned last night. While I wont talk about what the car did here, we did test the stall of a COMPLETELY stock converter and were surprised to find out we can get it to flash to 3700rpm in 2.7 seconds without nitrous or a vacuum pump to help hold it back.

Here is a graph showing what we were able to hold back-



In a somewhat strange turn of events we were also able to figure out what the max stall is on that converter, 4200rpm. A restall for bigger turbos, maybe a little bottle or MIVEC (or both), some other mods and I think we could run a high stall that is still tight enough on the street to work without getting the trans way hot.

 

I'd like to see more info. Are you required to run the forward facing turbo for the auto? I'd like to go FF but it's hot in vegas and I want to keep my A/C! How will the clutchless auto trans hold up with the crazy heat we get out here? Would I need to run a bigger trans cooler? If you need someone to put some heat into one and test it out, summers coming fast out here.

 

The trans that English is building in this thread they do not require the FF kit, the starter is in the stock location. The kit we are doing originally required a FF kit but I have switched transmissions to something completely different and the starter is also now in the stock location.

Heat should be a problem, English is using a large trans cooler and our radiators we had built are available to them too. We have 1/2 width radiators built with trans coolers in them and on top of that run an external cooler too.

 

Needs more English Racing Logo Keep up the good work guys.

 

So sounds like I'd need to get a large cooler and one of your radiators with the built in coolers. Has anyone been able to keep A/C and go FF? I wounder if i could get a half size condenser and have some lines made to relocate it. I'd just need to be careful when charging it to not over charge it.... I'll look into it more.

 

There is a guy on here who used a Civic core and put a/c in with the half width radiator. Our new trans we are developing will not require a FF kit.

 

That's great to hear.

 

I am using an Integra radiator myself. Then again I did it because I only need coolant for the head with this year's motor.

 

 

is the block totally filled, or just up to the bottom of the water pump passages?
