tayr Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Has anybody got any reviews for any built auto boxes? A340E Box I quite like the idea of staying Auto and running around 580-600hp on a small fast spooling single. The SRD Stage 3 box looks good but I wonder if anybody has gone this route and can tell me if its worth while etc.. Will the A02B Diff hold up with that sort of power?

Chris Bailey Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Hi mate, We run a SRD stage 3 built auto with Syvecs S6+ and flappy paddles. Currently 850bhp/650lbft and had no issues whatsoever. We’ve been running this setup for around 4/5 years now. We have also kept the stock torque converter as we personally feel it’s nicer to use on the street. Having had a PI3600rpm converter which can be abit “unpredictable” on the street and on lockdown etc. We have a A02B small case diff with a TRD 1.5way LSD, again had no issues and we’ve had that setup for 6-8 years ranging from 550-850bhp. Lee at SRD is the best person to speak with and he will help you with everything you need! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tayr Posted June 16, 2021 Author Share Posted June 16, 2021 Thanks guys, the SRD option was my original thought as their work is good and obviously being UK based it makes life easier. I need to speak to Lee, I think from memory I was under the impression their stage 3 box handles around 600hp but I don’t want to be always on the limit wondering if it’s going to go bang soon if that makes sense. I just don’t think I’d get the enjoyment from it if that was the case, but obviously as Chris says he’s running lots more power with no issues so you’d like to think it can take a beating. It’s all still very new to me, so definitely need to do my research. the ATF one does look really decent and according to their site the stage 2 box can hold up to 650whp which is impressive for around 2k plus shipping fees, my concern would be should their be an issue it’s a hard thing to try and resolve when so far away. I would assume none of these boxes come with a guarantee of any sorts which does make things a little more though provoking. In regards to the diff, would you be able to run stock diff until it goes bang and switch out for the Ginken or would it destroy something that’s needed to house the ginken in the process?

I would speak to Lee as i am pretty sure they use the same specification of parts as ATF speed, they have different stages from what I can work out. At least this is in the UK and you will have a singular price and not be dealing with sending and recieving from the USA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a chat with Lee, I have recently, and basically they can now offer everything ATF offers, so can build to what power you want. Sounds as if you are looking for the same sort of strength of box as me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you go with a stage 3? It is ,pretty much a 6266 they just spec differently. Aft was very fast something like 3weeks and yes stage 3, stage 4 has come about since mine was sorted else I'd of gone stage 4. I have a couple of spare 340's. Once stage 5 is available I'll send one over Edited June 18, 2021 by baldy (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I have the stock ecu controlling the autobox, and a link G4+ Extreme controlling the engine/single turbo and everything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
