Will a HKS ALC off a TT fit work on a N/A ?

 

Also, looking at the photos, its a simple looking box of electronics, what does it do that the standard Nissan set cant do?

 

Aside from performance, does your autobox benefit from it at all driving normally?

 

 

Thanks

As far as i know yes it will be ok on a N/A

 

The ALC holds and increases line pressure prior to gear change,snaps it into gear like a manual in some ways,stops the delay and slight slip when changing gear.

 

Its makes no difference if driving normaly,it only starts to work when you realy go hard on accelerator.A great mod in my opinion,have had one on every Z ownend :cool:

Hi John,

 

I concur with Tony with regard to the ALC working well on an N/A. This device is not related to the type of engine just the transmission.

 

The normal Nissan Autobox ECU will temporarily drop the line pressure during up shifts - which frequently results in "jerky" shifts when accellerating hard. The ALC keeps the line pressure constant and will thus allow the gears to be engaged quicker resulting in a more sporty character.

 

I've had one on my car for well over a year and a half now and like Tony says under normal driving conditions you won't notice any difference. However, once you floor the loud pedal the shifts are significantly quicker.

 

I've currently got a GB going on HKS ALC 2's - round about £180 if I can get 8 orders. Otherwise they'll run about £200 depending on the exchange rate. Let me know if I can help you source one.

 

Regards,
