hi boys and girls

i am just wondering what big hp skylines are using when it comes to automatic gearboxes.

i have got to the point where my strengthened toyota box cant handle it any more.

i am being pushed towards an al's race glide C4 or a power glide. i still drive the car on the street a fair bit but not more than 4000k's per year. with the new engine i intend to build it will make approx 900 at the crank so it has to be able to handle that sort of power.

any info would be appreciated.

I received the following email from Keas about a week ago:

Thanks for your enquiry. We will get back to you within 24rs to confirm order or answer your query. [email protected]

Haven't heard anything since and they don't list a phone number on their website. Guess they have far too much work to bother.

If you are going to drive on street I wouldnt recomend a 2 speed, especially on a smaller motor with a turbo as there is no torque to get the car to moving when off stall and you will hate that around town trust me.... For that much power a c4 might be okay, keas can build you a killer jatco that will take it, personally th400 are my fav 3 speed, but you will probs have probs adapting the thing and it will cost a bit, just ring keas they will sort you out, alternatively if they are too busy try hugo's in melbourne, can build a tranny that bloke!!!

I didn't like what I heard at Keas so I ended up going to Mike at MV Automatics in Adelaide.

I honestly believe Mike is the most knowledgeable person with regard to Jatco's in Australia and discounting the engineers that designed the things right up there in the world. He gets jobs to do from all over the world (was building one for a Russian customer at the same time he was doing mine).

The only thing is, he's in adelaide.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      boost source Size Garrett gt28 gen2

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.

      I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
