17psi r33 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 just wanting to put a 3 speed auto with trans break or something along those lines in my r33 gts have any one done the turbo 400 into the r33 or vl boxes? just wanting to know what direction would be the easyest while keeping cost down as a modded r33 auto to handel 500rwhp is exspensive.

WHITER33GTS-T Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I bought a C4 with 3800 stall from Fred @ Protrans. I just had to make a gearbox mount and have the tailshaft modded. It got a transbrake. My 33 made just under 500rwkw. What speedo drive do I need to work with the R33 dash. I need a speedo that works. lol Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/349853-vl-auto-or-t400-gear-box-for-r33/#findComment-5644301 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben C34 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 the 1b box is weaker Really? due to what differences? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/349853-vl-auto-or-t400-gear-box-for-r33/#findComment-7082651 Share on other sites More sharing options...
FBRacing Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Did you have an auto before or manual? How low is your car? What's your goal? Drag or daily? A T400 from a chevy has a deep pan. Might drag it over speed humps. Castlemaine Rod Shop in Victoria sells adapters for 350/400/700. It's been done. I built a RB26 with a 700 attached for a guy here in the US. Put it in a sand rail for him. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/349853-vl-auto-or-t400-gear-box-for-r33/#findComment-7083211 Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve200b Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 the 1b box is weakerThe b box is from the r34 and it can be built to handle more power. If you talk to mv autos or gzm they will give you accurate data Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/349853-vl-auto-or-t400-gear-box-for-r33/#findComment-7083242 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caelen Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 (edited) So pricing back for a C4 setup from Al's autos will come in around $6500 for box and converter or around $9000 fitted. EEK! after cooking a built GZM re401a ($4500 later), I'm not sure what to do!
