how strong are stock bp 1.8 auto trans?
anyone ever used one in a drag application with a custom torque converter and a trans brake?

 

I too have always been curious. Even without serious mods like a TQ or trans brake, how well does it handle extra power?

 

The only one that I personally know if is gludlow on m.net. He has an 01 auto with a FF supercharger. I rode in the car once. Shifts decent under boost. He's only running 6-8 psi though.

 

If it helps the miata trans (4 and 5sp) were used in the b2200 behind f blocks. I have heard (not seen) of f2t (2.2 turbo mx6 engine) with atx. Weakest part of those trucks was the 7.5" rear end not the trans, even when towing.

 

should be pretty decent ive wondered it myself but i like shifting to much.

 

hmm might have to find one and see how it goes with decent boost

 

There's a guy in Greece I think with FI that seems like he rags on his autobox pretty hard. He's on the slushbox section of m.net.

 

Car or trans?

I have one if you want a trans.

Should have pretty much everything you need.

Trans from a 160K 96
torque converter
ATF lines to the radiator/cooler combo
automatic radiator
shifter and linkage
Misc parts not mentioned above-all in a box with the setup.

I think that I still have the two pedal setup.

I'll sell everything that I have for $300.

 

Haha sorry im all they way in Newzealand so that would be alot for shipping!!!
know of a few around.. i have a manual box and a 4 puk racing clutch for fun on the street. just wanting fast 1/4 times which is alot easier with an auto

 

Just not sure how a stock auto box will handle leaving the line,full boost with slicks off the trans brake maybe id be better suited to a power glide?
