good luck gettin 500 hp with an auto maybe at da fly wheel

but yeah power fc owns very popular

i didnt think the power fc's work with auto...or do they?

[paulr33]

power fc will work but not safely and happily. the ecu wont deal with the autbox and assumes its manual. sydneykid has covered this heaps of times and the gearchanges are jerky and not safe/good for the auto box. that being said it wouldn't be impossible for 500hp. youd need all the usual bolt on stuff turbo, exhaust, intercooler, injetors, clutch, airflowmeter, fuel pump, ecu, tyres, brakes, suspension work, boost controller, clutch then youd also need to up the highstall for some fun, strength the auto box, transmission cooler and a very strong auto box. speak to your local auto mechanics place and ask them how much for an auto skyline box to handle 500hp see what they're reaction is, stacks of vl turbos probably get this power all the time and they probably use simiilar auto boxes, maybe powerglide or transbrake ?

having said all that and if you were to look at powerglide/transbrake why not change to manual, then you can get easy ecu options

u got $30,000 plus mate ????

[curly_fry_44]

basically well i dont have 30 000 but i will get a loan for 20 000 and see what i can do thankz for ya help!

curly_fry_44 i am looking around 400-450hp at the flywheel, cost me around $15,000 and i got labour for next to nothing through a mate. To get that figure from your car and do it through a performance shop you will be looking around $25,000

[curly_fry_44]

got 280 horsepower with a boost controller i am about to high flow the trubo which will let me run alot more boost im upgrading my gear box and getting nos plus i injectors upgrade suspeinsion and i should get around 430 with nos cost around the 5000 mark so yeah

You can get manual valve bodyed and trans braked Jatcos based on VL turbo autos that handle huge power and at 500hp you need one.

The firm shifts PFC and Wolf give autos has not hurt the autos even after many years and hard driving,Quicker changes can even help the auto as its like a shift kit and the bands -clutches lock faster making for less slip and heat.
