i dont think so, but you might want to hit up TCI for a custom built one to the specs you're looking for.

I would honestly say that you would need at lest 150whp before it would even be needed

You might not want a converter thats high stall, you could burn out the clutches in the tranny in no time.

I was thinking of adding a greddy turbo kit later on so I think I should be close to 180-200 rwhp

Rear wheel HP? Last time I checked, our cars were FF

Turbowise, you won't hit anything above 150whp without forged internals. Face it, the 1NZ-FE engine just doesn't handle high boost.

I used a torque conventer from www.levelten.com

I would say it was probably the best mod I made on my 300zx. Had I kept my Z I would have eventually purchased one of their "Bulletproof" transmissions. I was very impressed in the product/support I received from them.

Don't forget that you will be killing your gas mileage if you do this.

You won't see 180-200 WHP from the greddy. You MIGHT see 150.

i have the greddy kit and i can tell u that it's not even close to 200whp. At this point i'm only at 135whp and have a lil bit of tuning left to see if i can reach the 150 mark. I'm not sure what the final production greddy kit will use as for a turbo but right now i'm sporting a very small TF-035HL.

Agreed.

If you want to go fast you wouldn't have gotten an automatic in the first place though....or a Scion, for that matter.
