S1 Auto

[jippa]

just wondering if many people use there s1 auto as a manual and if it causes damage? also when i shift from 2 to drive i feel more power does this mean 1st and 2nd are restricted somehow. i think it has something to do with vvti but need more info

[stagpower]

yeah i do it all the time,i reckon it quicker,specially 2nd in d when it spools up,i also noticed sometimes if you pull out,put your foot down and it still in 2nd,it winds up then drops to 1st and it just boosts and goes,i have driven my auto like this for a year and touch wood,no probs.hope it helps jerome

jippa boost is limited to 4psi under 4000rpm in 1st and 2nd - have a look for the "stock solenoid boost mod" to give it 7psi in 1 and 2

done the boost mod but still get the extra power. also now have boost cut issues as i have done full 3 inch zorst and high flow cat. just waiting on someone else to trial a emanage ultimate which is happening in the next few weeks. if it works( and the guy seems to think it will) im next

I drive my S1 like that.

Although the clutches did blow recently after giving it a thrash in 2nd...

I went to change back into D and it wasn't there
