Not quite. 3.3L low compression motor with Stage I cams. The hiccup is the torque converter unlocking. When I did Jason’s, I had a push button switch to pull in the converter and hold it in. Didn’t do the same thing with this one. Just rolled the drums and poured on the coals. After 4000rpm the converter unlocks with the throttle past about 2/3’s.

Glad to hear our tranny is working well for you. When you do them right they are really strong.

The first time we took Jason’s tranny back apart (shredded converter), he had about 20K on our build. The funny thing is that there wasn’t a burnt clutch in it.[/quote]

the above ATX is non intercooled.

Do what I do. Go to Toronto. I know plenty of AWD dynos. And it’s always a fun trip.

Call Marco at Magnus and tell him I told you to call he will get you squared away. If he can make 1400 hp 4G63s i’m sure he can take care of you too 🙂

the gen 1/2 sho’s are super easy to work on the tec V6 is a pitta and so is the 3rd gen SHO.

really? i didn’t know you could buy a skyline for a couple of grand put 4-5 K in it and have that much power? all of his mods can be installed in 1 day without lifting the car off the ground.

i’m unfamiliar with skyline mods. are they that strong and cheap?

i’m really hoping for 350whp and at least 300tq but I am one of the very few to boost a engine with well over 200K on it so who knows how much power it will make.

but I also want over 30mpg, a _smoth ride_, cheap parts,  
and a ton or room to upgrade. that is only my goal for right now. once I get a bigger intercooler I can bump it for 400-450 and i probably won’t go any higher for fear of my tranny.

So again, you want an LS1. All of those are easily attainable, come in a RWD platform (FWD :bloated:) and have the engine mounted the correct way in the car. Hell, some of them even come with a transaxle!

:headbang:

SHO the ultimate bolt on car? Hardly. I can think of 4 better ones off the top of my head.

Skyline (just clubbed a baby seal, no worries)  
Supra  
Anything LS1 based  
Any BMW inline 6 from 1989 - 2002
