Details would be nice, what problems? Build the auto and shift kit it.

Sory I was waitting for a phone call with what the probblems are it sounds like slipping but the cars auto low power is all good I will know more in a few min

If it's slipping it's rebuilt time in one form or another, other option is to risk it with a second handy but I would just built it strong if you have 200 atw and want an auto.

220rwkw is about the limit of the auto box, so you're about on the edge with 200awkw.

might have to start looking at a stronger box from another car and shift kit it, or rebuild the current one with upgraded bands and valve bodys

Dissagree tangles is putting ALOT more than that through his auto.

going by MV autos advice,

series 1 box kitted up should be good for 300awkw

series 2 box kitted up should be good for 250-270awkw

they'd be the guys that i'd call for advice, they've built a few nowthumbsup.gif

Yeah big fella is right on the money there my series 1 box is rated to just over 300 kitted by MV autos, car makes a good handful over 200awkw and has had no probs at all, and series 2 are 250awkw

cheers

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
