Sad but true

 

That 5 speed at 15 PSi only put down 294? I'm calling BS or that car is totally a piece of ****.

 

Stock auto tranny dyno sheets, to be specific.

 

Is it it true that the stock auto tranny can only hold 260hp?

 

Well if it is I will destroy mine soon, but no, I think I have heard of people with at least 300 rwhp on theirs.

 

YMMV...depends on the use (abuse?) of the tranny. brake torquing is a sure way to grenade the tranny. using a PFC doesn't help as lockup doesn't occur normally. there is always the dreaded "neutral drop". heat is the enemy. the best thing you can do while still retaining the stock internals is to switch to a good synthetic atf. make sure your trans cooler is in good shape. mazda didn't put a drain plug in for the atf. it also takes many many quarts of atf.

 

did i mention that my tranny died shortly after my upgrades? do a search as this dead horse has been beat, uh well, to death...

 

my car should be hitting the dyno in the next few weeks...

has a fully built Turbo 350 tranny with B&M shift kit...

I'll post the sheet as soon as I get it...

 

i wondered if you had ever finished your project. Is it streetable? Whose adapter did you go with?

 

I forget who made the adaptor??? (I bought it over 2 years ago), but it keeps the stock starter location and I went with a custom built converter from Edge Racing that basically bolts to the stock mazda flexplate and connects to the shaft of the TH350 trans...

only prob. is I needed to go with a single turbo due to some clearance issues with the adaptor plate...

I'll post a bunch of pics when I get the car back from KDR...

 

No dyno numbers yet? Man... don't make me go to the dyno. I don't have any money for that right now.
