has anyone ever heard the noise that would be made from a car that is driving with virtually no automatic transmission oil? Is it a really loud churning noise?cheers

 

No oil = no running. Needs gearbox oil to go.

what if your driving and you have a hole in the box and its leaking and leaking, im sure itll run for a bit, i want to know for that minute or however long it will run what noise it will make. If anyone has had first hand experience with this let me know

I know that you'd be an idiot to drive with a smashed and leaking box and that it will be slipping etc etc, my question is simple, if anyone has heard that noise and can describe it to me could you please do so

cheers

No. I've tried to drive a car with little to no transmission fluid. It didn't make any funny noises or smoke, it just didn't move until I put enough in it.

If your transmission is making noise then there is definitely something wrong.

Low to no trans fluid -

It will make a grindy noise, it will feel like a slipping clutch, it will stop, it will not start if it is empty or too low. It will not change through gears.

It will NOT blow smoke.

    • Does anyone sell a pipe that's made to go from the Greddy FMIC kit for ECR33 (RB25DET) to the Greddy intake manifold? 
    • Not that I know from experience, but in theory you'd want your gate spring to be as close to target pressure as possible, so you'd go with the higher gate spring?
    • Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?   Edit: Actually I might just swap the spring and see what the logs say after another few pulls, as we know it's still spiking without the Mac valve in the picture so I need more data without the Mac valve trying to combat the issue.
    • Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you? 
    • I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
