SupraHuman Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 550rwhp on an auto, you got to be kidding! 550flywheel is going to be pushing it even with additional trans coolers and uprated TC. Also, if you're planning for those power levels and can fund a standalone ECU a larger injector choice would be advisable in order to future proof. To take full advatage of the turbo I have recommended him my BL box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A BL box will certainly open the options up Last one I drove with the box was incredibly quick and fun (tDR's drag car) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just thought that as it was a small(ish) turbo it would produce around 500-550 fly hp. Which is also what i thought my box could just handle. With the coolers in place. Was also told ryans new ecu package would work a treat?? Have i got my numbers wrong a bit??

Your numbers are ok mate,the reason I have 550 is not just the turbo but also more important ALL the support mods I.E large injectors uprated rods,twin fuel pumps,uprated box and TC etc. If Lee told you your box will cope the all I can say he knows a hell of a lot more about Supras than me.

I only mention it as there rwhp was mentioned earlier which is not realistic on this turbo or (especially) the stock auto box. I'm not sure what the ecu package you mention is, but assume it's the Solaris S6 which is quite a bit of kit It's very worthwhile checking with Ryan first as last time I don't beleive he had cracked the auto box shift issues on that ECU yet. You'll also ideally need to run a slightly higher TC with a small single. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didnt know that the gt35r could produce that. So with the spec mentioned on page 1 that im going for (gt35r, 650cc, wastegate/screamer, ss manifold etc) am i looking at 550 fly hp?? im guessing that will then be just about ok with my box? Id love the other box so much but dont think i cant stretch to it What is the TC you mention mate?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted March 8, 2010 Author Share Posted March 8, 2010 Re the ecu its the nee AEM one ryan is offering especially suited to the autos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Good stuff, sounds like it's in hand then. The AEM FIC if that's what you refer to is going to limit you to 650cc's so future mods will be a bit limited, but they will be fine for 550 at the fly. What is the TC you mention mate?? Torque convertor, it raises the 'bite' point of the box, essentially to help it stop bogging down on gear changes. As mentioned by others, go with what Ryan and Lee P say, they've forgotten more than I know about single conversions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted March 8, 2010 Author Share Posted March 8, 2010 Thanx mate. Yes the AEM fic ecu Corrr, That all got a bit confusing for me for a bit. (doesnt take much!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustGav Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 thanx. I did ask around to check the box will be ok with the GT35R. The box can take circa 550hp i think? I know Caseys has got an auto with a GT35R so perhaps have a word with him to see what his thoughts are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L33 Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 hello mate u will enjoy it and congrats for taking the plunge obviously ive just been through it and had a rough ride so if u need any help or info dont hesitate to ask or pm as i dont want any one going through what i went through! im also on a auto so if u need advice with that.... even if u just need to know where is the best places to shop or what things u may need firstly if ur after sard 650 high imp injectors i found nengunn was the cheapest place to get them from secondly, i may have my aem fic for sale at the end of the month as i may be getting a solaris fitted. so if ryan cracks it and it works then mine will be for sale and i dont think its even been on there more than 2 months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesy Posted March 9, 2010 Author Share Posted March 9, 2010 Welcome to the world of the single conversion, it's a steep learning curve Yeah it appears so. And this is day 1. I hope im up to it. The only thing that really threw me was thinking this turbo was circa 550rwhp when infact its 550fwhp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted March 9, 2010 Author Share Posted March 9, 2010 thanx a lot dude. Remind me of your turbo again? You got 500odd at 1 bar i think i read? Have u got the stock auto box? Yeah def swaying towards the aem fic unit, think ryan sells tuem for £350 new but keep me posted. Seems like the most cost is fiting it and getting it mapped to the car/turbo!!! Glad u got all sorted now mate and a mag feature to boot !!! hello mate u will enjoy it and congrats for taking the plunge obviously ive just been through it and had a rough ride so if u need any help or info dont hesitate to ask or pm as i dont want any one going through what i went through! im also on a auto so if u need advice with that.... even if u just need to know where is the best places to shop or what things u may need firstly if ur after sard 650 high imp injectors i found nengunn was the cheapest place to get them from secondly, i may have my aem fic for sale at the end of the month as i may be getting a solaris fitted. so if ryan cracks it and it works then mine will be for sale and i dont think its even been on there more than 2 months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L33 Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Yea listen to ryan and you won't go wrong, he supplied and fitted the aem for mine but I'm needing a lot more now to get the most out my build I even updated my garage just now just for u to look at lol I have the borg warner 91 79 turbo, same as ryan actually, that alone will set u back nearly a grand! But it was well worth the money IMO I have a boostlogic auto box and a 3800 high stall converter. 3800 is rather high but that's because of the size of the turbo! There was a box and stally for sale a week or so ago in a thread with loads of parts going! Def worth it if your goin through all this effort and cost but then can't use it because your box wil explode!! Bit of advice too...don't always take advice on here as gosbel, do plenty of research, I spent hours goin through threads then when I got stuck I asked questions! Best way to learn! I was told one big cooler and a one fan will NOT keep the temps down in my gear box...well at the moment its perfect. Was also told the 3800 high stall was hard for every day driving, I don't see the problem? What suits one won't always suit another Like I said I no first hand now and its fresh so I'm here to be fired questions at as I've had a lot of help from people on here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted March 9, 2010 Author Share Posted March 9, 2010 Ok thanx mate. Im gonna speak to lee again tomoro to check over it all. This is my daily driver so i think thays why we were swaying away from the BL box etc plus this turbo should just fall inside the limits of my box?! M head hurts !!

Smallshinyant Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 550fwhp daily driver, with auto box? Best daily driver ever! good luck with it. Sounds like my na is going to be letting down our area, everyones going single. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L33 Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 (edited) While I was running my new engine in it was my daily driver and has been for 5 days since being mapped and it really isn't a problem! There seems to be this false image of a aggresive undrivable car as soon as you mention BL or high stall! U can still trundle around doin 20 - 30 mph at very low revs like 2k with out it screaming at you! The full slip effect of the high stall doesn't really come into effect until on full throttle! If I ever come you way you more than welcome to come out in mine to see for your self! Don't be put off by others mate its very worth it! Just work out which high stall suits your turbo, but the hiigher you go the better cooling you will need Edited March 9, 2010 by L33 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very smooth and responsive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caseys Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 (edited) Hi mate was advised that with the turbo choice the auto box i have will perform fine. If i need to i will though Ah fair play With a similar sort of setup I can vouch for it and have been running it for a while now with no slippage. I would say regularly check your oil though as sometimes changes from 2nd-3rd on wot start getting savage. when I update the fuel system and remap to 1.6+ bar the slippage may be altogether a different situation. Just speculating here as I run a lardy uk spec that probably puts more strain on the box. Had a full service at AFR though and they said old gearbox oil looked fine at the change. Good luck finding traction Edited March 9, 2010 by caseys (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L33 Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 There we go mate that's 2 of us A standard box will be at its limits around 500 bhp but has been done by lui! Think he has a standard stall but I no it started slippin on the dyno so I guess he is now limited to how hard he can push the car It all depends on your budget as the BL box goes 2nd hand for 1500 then sometimes the person is selling the high stall with it if not its 500 from the states Another thing I've learnt, if u choose the aem u can't change the standard gear change rev limit so there is no need to spend another 500 plus on a set of cams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
