This thing is awesome! I wish I would have purchased this sooner, it should have been one of my first mods. The shifts are very firm now, and it seems like the power just keeps flowing right on through to 4th. Feels very sporty now.

Only complaint I have is that it really rocks the car during shifts. Feels like the motor mounts are taking a beating or something.

As for problems, only one small (kinda) one. I had almost finished, had the new VB bolted back up and everything, and then I noticed that there were two holes still without bolts. Now I'm no mechanic in the slightest, but I figured there should at least be bolts there. Sure enough, I looked at my stock VB, and one was for the accumulator plate (one without spring) and the other bolt was I guess just to hold it together I'm wondering if Kashoggio, who I bought if from, took these out by accident.

So, it ended up turning a 2-3hr job into a 6hr nightmare because my arms were killing me trying to hold the VB up and get bolts in it the 2nd time.

But that doesn't matter now, it's in and it works, and more importantly nothing broke.

you did it yourself where did u get it from? mobileteck? i want it but i dont want to pay that price at maxima tuning is there like a kit or something i dont care ill do it myself

 

No, I bought it off of another .org member (kashoggio). Very good to deal with BTW. He was selling it in the classifieds for $225 shipped! I jumped on that mighty quickly. hehe Yeah it's Don's VB (mobiletek).

No kit that I'm aware of, but I highly recommend it now! I would probably like Maximmum Tunings more though because of their selection between the Stage 1 to Stage 3. I could tolerate just a little firmer.

ye man, my friend, vipervadim, he's got one about a month ago and loves it!! I drove it a few times and its a significant improvement!!! Have fun man!!!

 

Are the shifts hard when you are just cruising too?? I was always interested in this mod, good to hear its working good for you.

 

I'm gonna sell mine pretty soon! $250 shipped, from Mobiletek. Its hella fun

 

They are slightly firmer than stock when cruisin, but not like it is when you get on it. Hold on! LOL

well, i don't know... people say that it CAN get annoying when cruising around...
what's your input on it?

 

... if you do the vb mod, and you have an jwt ecu - does it have to be re-programed?????

 

I haven't had it long enough to give good feedback... LOL But, I will revive this thread in about a week and let you know

not at all. you dont even feel the shifts when cruising, only when you get on the gas.
