I did a search but couldnt find the original thread the link went to, probably lost.

Give Mike a call (number is on the first post) or email him at MV Automatics (think the address is in here somewhere or use whitepages.com.au) for specific information on hi stall torque converters or for more info on the valve bodies (they are a great mod and well worth the money)

just got off from work so mv should be closed. will try to call tomorrow before the weekends. just a question though if i install this shift kit would the bov sound still sound the same as i know it shifts much quicker between gears then my stock.

^^^ The quicker shifts won't effect affect the function/ sound of your bov. Unlike with manuals you don't normally lift from the gas pedal (closing the throttle) during shifts so the bov shouldn't open which means no sound.

Anyone had a go at installing one themselves and want to share? Difficulty level?

I recently had my trans serviced (ATF flushed and replaced) so dont want to fork out all that money again....argh.

I have access to a hydrolic hoist, all the right tools ect.

Honestly, this it quite easy just need to take your time and be very methodical about it. The little black box is also pretty easy to install, as long as you follow the instructions and again take your time. And even if you do got stuck give Mike a call.

The hardiest part is holding the new part up while doing up the bolts.

fitting a Stage 1 MV Automatics valve body at the moment, Mike's notes says to block off and remove springs for the middle 2 acumulators with welsh plugs, done.

But i seem to remember on a previous install that only 1 of the end springs goes back in, but in his notes it implies that both end springs are retained.

Anyone done an install in an R34 'b' box lately and can shed some light ?

thanks

Inline with GB rules about having a start & end date - this is now closed.

SAU is clamping down on these GB's that never occur, never end, and so on.

PM me if you have a problem. However, before you PM me think about this.

A group buy, is a group of people buying the product together to lower the price.

Buying single units here and there is not what constitutes a GROUP BUY

Thanks

    • 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
