Do they make any performance or just better than stock Torque Converters for the automatic GA16DE that

There's a workshop in Singapore which can strengthen your auto tranny. But the torque is high. Estimated about SGD 5,000/=. A number of turbocharged vehicle did that.

or you can send your tranny to jgy and they can shot peen and cryo treat it.

i dont believe anyone took you wrong.. if you run boost, you do want a manual tranny if run boost.

>>> Maybe. As after turbocharging, the auto shift very fast. So unless you are a pro, or else it's quite difficult for a person to upshift their tranny that fast. There's 1 GA16DE-T powered by auto tranny that need to change the auto tranny in less than 3 months. He's using TD04 running at 0.6 bar boost for daily drive and 0.8 bar setting for high boost. However, there's a set back as the 1st gear of the auto tranny, it always stucked at the rev cut point (abt 7,400 rpm) for about 1~2 secs before upshift. But the rest of the shifting are fine.

hes replacin the tranny cuz that turbo is WAY too big for the car....

he is replacing it cause a manual has an inherant strength in the fact that you have metal on metal contacts that can handle a little more power than th estock set up. In an auto there is not that it is fluid and clutch packs that are built to handle what the factory set up can put out and if ATF gets hot it lunches the planetary sets in the tranny. I have said it before an Auto is only good if purpose built ( unless it is in a 75,000+ dollar car duh). Why do you want a performance tourqe converter the only reason domestic people get them (stall converters) is cause the cam they are running has 0 idle power and normally will not idle below 1500 rpm hense why it is called a stall converter it makes it so you have to run the engine up higher to engage the tranny and they suck for driving.

it doesn't matter even if he has a manual tranny, a td04 is WAY too big for our car. the biggest turbo should be a t28rs.. see how much lag he has, cuz i can tell you its a lot..

yea thats way big of a turbo. for budget reasons, keep the auto, try not to floor it so much and just do tune ups. torque converters will be really good and helpful but youll waste gas daily driven.

wes

you guys are smoking something. A TD04 is a small mitsubishi turbo, not a T4 garrett. It would actually be similar to a T25 and given that there are more than one variation of TDO4's, it might be a decent match.

Regardless James from this forum proved long ago that GA auto's do not like turbo's. The clutch packs were gone in a very short period of time. You can hev level 10 re-work it or do the auto to manual swap. Which is cheaper than the level 10 work (or it is if you have it done properly).
