Your parents buy you an auto alero because they want their little angel in a safe, easy to drive slow ass car to get from point A to B. yet they allow you to buy a 600+hp capable turbo which would never see exhaust gas pass through it in reality under the hood of an alero, and even if it did the auto trans wouldn’t last 1320 feet under boost. But they were right, because it was a safe point A to B car for you, because you tried going point B to A, crashed and lived to tell the story to Shift518. > > Now in their infinite wisdom you don’t let you drive a standard transmission car because they feel you cant handle it, so you buy another, automatic car, that still isnt much faster than the alero. Said car was purchased by car noob parents and the transmission shit the bed. So your going to try to convince your parents to let you swap a transmission that doesn’t even belong in the car? Are you going to mod the firewall to install the clutch pedal? What about the slave cylinder? Bleeding the system? Pulling the motor and physically doing the swap? etc… You dont strike me as a mechanic, no offense. And I 100% know your parents have zero idea what is involved in swapping any car from auto to manual. > > this is one step below the 4088R in my eyes on the pipe dream scale. lol > > good luck with it. Make me a believer, DO WORK S0N! I don’t feel I need to defend the Alero setup anymore and here’s why. Spyhunter (big LD9 guy) was the first to do the 4088 on the 2.4L motor. He made 560whp and ran ~11.6. He’s a tune away from 10’s. If its that important, I’ll ask him to take video next time he runs. Another LD9 guy, (Ion on Aleromod), is working with the 3076R turbo and making big power. He has over 200K on his car, runs a 12.7, and the stock trans holds the power. Also, the J32 swaps are FAR more common than what was done on the Aleros I just mentioned, the J32 trans has already been swapped onto a 95 accord with the J30A1. Onto your next paragraph. I’m EXTREMELY offended that you say my parents bought the car, when I worked my ASS of for both of my cars. You don’t know me like that. So don’t go on about who pays for my cars, I take a lot of offense to that. As for my car experience: No one can really speak for me on the forums since no one has seen me work on cars on Shift. Some of my major automotive accomplishments at RPI involve my good buddy’s Saab 900SE 2.0T. Together, with no previous experience doing so, we have: Pulled the motor 3 times Built the motor sucessfully (the third time we pulled it was because he blew it up) Replaced the clutch twice, the first with an OEM clutch, the second with a Clutchmasters (? I think) Twin disk unsprung clutch Replaced the entire exhaust, IC pipe, turbo, intercooler I’ve also already done a trans. swap with my roomate on his 2007 Cobalt SS , gotta love people with money to blow. We also swapped it from s/c to turbocharged. My major accomplishment there was doing ALL the tuning for the car. I love HPTuners. And no offense taken to that I don’t seem like a mechanic, I definitely haven’t been around cars all my life like some of you guys, but when I work on something its so far been pretty intuitive as to what I need to do. When I need help I have some great people at school who I can depend on to give me a hand. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/nickaleros-98-cl/252522)._
