Auto tranny load?

[tecknical]

Quick question. Does anyone happen to know up to what HP is the auto tranny rated? I know of a guy that stuck a turbo in his 02 Lancer only to blow the tranny a couple of weeks later. I know it was a Mitsu not a Toyota, but does anyone have any idea how much HP it can handle before things start going awry?

Don't know about the auto tranny...but the 5-speed manual (E153 tranny model) is pretty strong !!

[tecknical]

Toyota trannys are pretty strong in general since there people with autos pushing 800rwhp out of their supras..
my only worry is that mine already has 100k+ on it and i dont know how much more abuse it can take

[Americanctm10]

100k on a toyota isn't anything to worry about. But are you thinking about gettin a turbo?

[tecknical]

well im more inclined towards the TRD supercharger. but thats more like a year or so down the road

[Americanctm10]

Better grab one if you can find one, they are quite rare and get snatched quickly when they are being sold.

take this for example, TRD4Life is running 13-15psi on a built motor but stock tranny. He runs it pretty hard and hasnt failed him yet.


U do the math.

^ lol....gabe actually went through one tranny already...




and the stock auto can relibably handle about 220whp or so from the words of camry god Tony the Tiger

[Mole]

based on experience, the auto trans can hold a little more than 220whp.

i think it will start to be insufficent around 260.... again i think.

[Eye8Pussies]

Doubt it'd hold 260...but then again, the 220whp number depends on a number of factors

I personally think that with a supercharger, our trannys can probably hold a bit more since the power comes on a lot more gradual than a turbo

and it will also depend on if you have an ebc or not as well as mileage and a modified valve body or not since that makes a big difference on an otherwise stock transmission


mole- how much power did you put down and through what setup?
