probably worth a mention that with the rather large turbo you are running and depending on how

tight the converter is you will probably have to give the big girl a sniff to persuade it to come up on the brake. A small dry shot will do it, something like 50hp. Unless you want to be on the start line staaling it up while the other car crosses the finish line like most VLs you see

Its always possable but it wasnt too bad with the manual so the auto/stally/transbrake/2 step might be fine...

If im going nos ill go an even bigger turbo i reckon, or atleast just a larger hot side on the to4z...

the manual is nohing like an auto, and if you are looking to up the turbine wheel and or housing, you will definately need it.

if your converter is loose you might get away with it but mph will suffer badly.

Hi, i got a rb20det r32gtst auto with a re4r01a rebuilt box with 2500rpm stall.

Can i just 'add' a transbrake to my application?

do transbrakes run off how big your convertor is or is it completely seperate?

My goal is to be able to stall it up alot more then 2500 but does that mean i have to UP the convertor aswell to match the transbrake?

obviously im new to all this...

cheers

No. The transbrake is a part of the valvebody. If you don't already have one incoporated into your valvebody, you'll have to change this aspect of the transmission.

How high the transbrake will stall is directly related to how big the stall of your converter is although their not usually the same. i.e. you may see higher rpm on the transbrake than you otherwise would on the footbrake.

Maybe, maybe not. You could have your box pulled apart and the valvebody replaced and see how you go rpm-wise but if you want to stall it much, much higher than the 2500rpm you're currently set up with, you will almost certainly have to change converter.

It's still a standard auto valve body,will it need to be modified?

Completely.

How high the transbrake will stall is directly related to how big the stall of your converter is although their not usually the same. i.e. you may see higher rpm on the transbrake than you otherwise would on the footbrake.

so with current setup + adding a transbrake,i may if lucky be able to stall it to 3000rpm

Too hard to say as it relies on a great many other factors.

Do they modify the stock auto valve body to incorporate the transbrake? Otherwise im looking at a bigger convertor to acheive the big transbrake.right?

The simplest way is to fit a higher RPM stall converter.

for those that dont know how a transbrake works, in simple terms it engages reverse gear when first gear is selected. so you roll into stage in fist gear, engage T/B and then hold down micro-switch. reverse gear is then also engaged meaning that the transmission is trying to drive against itself. you then release the brake and apply the throttle firmly. boost can be built as there is obviously load as the transmission pushes against itself.

this is where the converter comes in. think of a loose or standard converter as a car with clutch slip. a loose converter will allow you to see alot of rpm while on the transbrake. this is good as it will come up quick, but it will behave like a car with clutch slip when you leave, giving you an average 60foot time and poor MPH overall. A tight converter is best but slower to see rpm and make boost. This is where Nos comes in.

Anyway you are on the gas at 4500rpm and 15psi. you release the microswitch which releases reverse gear and away you go. its like those toy cars that you drag backwards and then let go. the glove box flies open and shit goes every where and the front wheels are in the air for the fist 40 feet. cool.

      Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !

      Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3

      It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.

      no one recommending speedtek gearsets?   i'm in the same boat as Cosline but rwd, I am holding boost back in third to 600nm at the hubs to save the gear as i make nearly 750nm at the hubs on a mainline
