hi all. i've been searching for threads for the last hour on what mods people reccomend for auto's and im getting nowhere. am i typing the wrong stuff in? tried auto, automatic, mod, modified, modifications, chip, ecu, intake, exhaust, etc etc. :headvswal :headvswal :headvswal

 

basically i just want my new auto to be a bit "more" if you know what i mean. nothing drastic but enough to make it interesting. can you run a bit more (like 1.0 bar) boost or will it need the 'box chipping? dont really want to spend much on the auto for mods as im going silly on the manual so cheap power gains would be nice. think i'll be happy at about 330-350bhp in this one. its already got a pair of backboxes but no de-cats and :eek: NO smoke at all, ever!!!!

 

so basically, if i run an intake, chip and a bar, will the 'box get confused or will it be ok?

 

never had an auto before so its a new thing for me.

 

cheers, folks.

si.

My zed has been chipped running higher boost with apexi intake and exhaust and the auto box copes fine with it. Think the biggest thing with the auto boxes is to get an oil cooler (if its jap spec) and make sure the fluid level is right then they are fine around the 300-400 bhp mark

nice one m8. do you know if i can use a manual ECU in it as i have a nice JD mapped one lying around now?

it is a jap so i'll get the cooler done before any boost. i'll change the tranny fluid too just to make sure.

gotta get a TT front bumper on it too and some TT clocks. (not sure if its a converted N/A or if the bits were just cheap?). either way its jap cuz the belts are on the doors and its an origional TT engine. dunno about the rest of the car though.

who'd put N/A clocks and front bumper on a TT? hmm...

what boost you running mate?

cheers. si.
