My first car ever ( stiil is ) 90 Grey Automatic RX_7 NA. Every one out their criticizes Automatics but being my first car i can't let it go. So any one out their with atomatics who can recomend Tips in improving My cars performance would be helpfull.

 

swap

 

Yea, that auto in the FC makes the car an absolute slug. No offense or anything, but the 1st thing that I would do if I had an auto FC , is do a 5-speed swap. You might want to change the rear end also, to get rid of the 3.909 gearing.

5 speed swap.

 

How much Would A 5 speed swap cost me ??

 

if you do it yourself it would be the cost of a tranny, plus the stuff that goes along with the tranny, flywheel....etc etc

 

Tranny 50-1300
Flywheel 20-450
Clutch: 100-800
Pilot bearing: 8.00
Pilot bearing seal: 5.00
Gear oil: 6.00 - 48.00
Driveshaft: 15-300
Tranny mounts: 15-75
Misc wiring:5.00
Pedal Cluster: 15-50
Master Cylinder: 5-42.00
Slave Cylinder:5-42.00
Clutch line:19.00
Clutch hardline: 5-30.00
Welding: 25.00


Price range accounts for Junkyard prices to a full pineapple rebuild (on the tranny) or new parts

 

Cost me about 0.0 since I scavenged the parts from the cars in the shop area

 

For Now the Automatic will stay. I need Some Tips From thoes with automatics. ( I wanna go Faster )

 

Install an additional oil cooler for the tranny, Drain and replace fluid and filter.

 

you wont go faster with an automatic. someone must tell him might as well be me.

 

Whoops. Thought you said you won't go faster with a 5 speed.

Yes, unfortunately, the automatic is very hindering.

And of course the forum goes out on me in the middle of editing.

 

Um, intake, full exhaust and header, and N20. Thats about it.

 

Trigger, why do you double post all the time? Just hit the button once and WAIT!

 

... porting, standalone EMS, lighten the car. You can also upgrade the car's handling with suspension mods, tires, brakes, wheels, etc.

Even better:
Supercharger
Turbocharger
13BT, 13B-REW, 20B-REW engine swap.

The AT is more of a liability than a limitation. You need to think outside the gearbox.

 

 

13B-RE before the REW.

 

The title of this thread sucks... next time actually say what you want to know... like this thread should have been called: Tips in improving auto tranny car performance

 

yea a supercharge is a good option, i livened up a nice amount of power just after a cone filter install.

 

Oh come on icemark, not everyone is a professional poster.

 

Becareful,

The autotranny swap isn't as easy to do it youself

The Auto tranny and Manual have different connectors, and so you'll have to compensate for this problem.

I know because I did the swap. Which might be why I want to KILL! KILL ! KILL! my rx right now.

 

Oh wait I get it!

Everyone is a critic

 

hmm, i think ill bust out the money and have a shop custom beef it up, even if it dont speed it up, atleast i wouldnt break anything if i start making lots of power. My advice to everyone i, make sure your tranny can take the mods b4 you do them .!

 

Oh and one more thing.

Since I did the swap everyone said that the geer ratios made a huge difference in the rear end.

So I also swapped out the Differential. And you know what!?

No noticable change
