just wondering because now i can hit 55 in mine without it even shifting to third, fixed the valve body

has the turbo upped my tranny speed havent taken it out on the freeway yet so i was just wondering

 

Man, get rid of the auto already. :P

 

I've hit 45 at 3000 rpms or so, havent really looked at how much more I could go, I do hit 65 in 4th

 

correction, Im hitting 45 at 3500

 

My old 87 SE did 76mph @ 6000rpm according to an old dyno I did.

 

280zx turbo did around 80mph in second and near 50 in first.

 

I hit 60 in second once. I was surprised because usually 50 was the magic number for it.

 

In 2nd ? wow, I havent tried going over 4000 rpms in mine yet , heh heh

 

I'm thinking mine is around 65. I'll check tomorrow and post here.

 

Wow, doesn't sound like you guys push your cars very hard

 

My 2nd gear goes to 70.

Im thinking a racing clutch and turbo should get me close to that.

 

Hey big e
Why don't you just rebuild your auto???
Get a valve body mod and rebuild kit @ about 250$.

That way you can keep the turbo and still rock the streets!

 

what is the valve body mod i took pics of the valve body if i show you them could tou tell me what to do...?

 

Okay, me and sarin had a little debate awhile ago. I say that a turbo autotragic can be just as fast as a manual. He disagrees.

Bid E the valve body mod just changes the shift point in the trany allowing for a more aggressive transmission. There is a link to the website somewhere Ill post it later.

If I had had more time I could of proved my theory. But Ive moved on. I still have the stuff at my parents place I would even ship it to you.

I have
Valve body mod
Transmission rebuild kit
Trany manual
Trany cooler

If you had all these parts I think the automatic could stand the turbo and give you one hell of a ride.

 

This is where I bought my stuff

Mine is 71ish, according to gps.

 

Last night I went up to 45 but I'm going to try to go higher today I see a lot of 50 and 60's now I want to test and see what mines can go up to.

 

lemme get the rebuild kit, the manual, and the valve body mod..

 

How about you get a 5-speed instead?

Come on man, do the right thing!

 

when it breaks i will till then ima have fun with this one...

its a good reason to justify it to the wifey, naaaaameeeeen!

 

Auto's can be as fast in manuals...but in the case of the 2nd gen, the auto can as much as a 1 second slower than a manual, if not more in N/A form. I believe that mod for mod, that number might get a little less, but there still will be a performance gap. The 2nd gen auto is the worst piece of engineering ever...the newer generations fix many of the flaws, but I don't have very much confidence in the 2nd gen auto, built or not.

Not really sure.
