honestly forget about the engine swap the 4b11 is A pretty strong engine I would like to build it up and add A turbo kit to it but the cvt tranny wont hold the turbo so I was wondering if an eclipse automatic tranny would work with the 4b11 engine because if I do an automatic tranny swap atleast I can bullet proof the automatic tranny to withstand atleast 11 psi or more of turbo. unlike the cvt not sure if you can bullet proof A cvt tranny alteast I havent seen anyone do it before. but If I would swap anything I would just try to swap the tranny with A bullet proof automatic tranny for drag racing.

ya I know it would be but at the time I didn't know that manual could hold turbo better then automatic or cvt and were I live its very difficult to find 2008 car for the price I got it for and its hard to find manuals here in miami so I wasn't trying to be to picky seeing this is my first car and all. so if anything ill just try and see if A really good performance shop can do A auto to manual swap on my car then build my engine up and then add turbo and all the works from rrm. But if all the shops here in miami say its impossible or to much work ill just pay my payments for 6 months then trade it in for A manual ralliart idk lets see.

There is no "manual ralliart". They all come with that tc-sst crap

I would not classify the twin clutch transmission as "crap" It can shift faster than you can say shift.

bullet proof build A cvt tranny

ya the twin clutch tranny is a master piece of work. But I also wanted to know what it would take to bullet proof A cvt tranny to with stand high psi boost of turbo. or if its impossible what automatic tranny can I swap in my 08 lancer es that can work perfectly with my 4b11 so if anything I can atleast bullet proof A automatic tranny if I found out from A performance shop it would be better to just swap A bullet proof built automatic tranny instead of doing A auto to manual swap.

Ever driven a RA or Evo X MR? The SST is a sick tranny that shifts so fast it doesn't even give your BOV time to release. Plus its a manual tranny that's driven automatic. There is nothing crap about it. Drive it in manual/sport mode and you won't have to worry about clutch wear-and-tear. Driving in auto/sport mode is just too much power for daily driving lol

I found this at levelten.com Level 10 Mitsubishi PTS Bulletproof Transmission (Built From Scratch) was wondering if I can replace my cvt tranny with this auto tranny so I can turbo my car at high psi throw in A intercooler cold air intake tranny cooler and the hole nine yards.

replacing the cvt on these cars will cause headaches. Everything in the engine ECU and other ECU's are all programmed to talk to each other. You take the trans ecu out and the engine won't know what to do, the dash wont function properly. Unless you can get mitsu to program it somehow, to work with this other trans, then I doubt you will be able to do what you want. Get a manual with a heavy clutch. Then mitsu can program the engine and dash for a manual trans swap for sure.
