Can an AUTOMATIC be super/turbo charged?
 

May be a n00b question, but I'd like to know. I know the TRD Supercharger is manual only.

Sure it can. The TRD one will be available with a kit to install on an auto. And turbo automatics can be pretty quick since you never have to let off the gas between shifts.

Someone also makes a kit, so you can install the trd on a manual. im drawing a blank on its name tho :doh:

Awesome. Thanks. I hope I can find out what campany offers it.

the kit is on racingsolutions.com for automatics or use to be atleast

i think sciondad put a turbo in his auto with some modifications. search some of his posts.


i am getting more and more interested in putting a turbo in my auto too but its probably going to be a long way off for me. leaves alot of time for research though! :P

Turbo automatic is nice, you never fall out of boost between shifts. Its a constant feeling of being pushed back in your seat.

If you all just wate until the end of January I will have all forged internals and an upgraded setup from the stage 1 ZPI kit. There is a lot of other stuff but we'll leave that for when its done.

I believe Kenny said something about this to me. All I can say is....That is going to be one sick setup. :bow: I can't wait for you to release the final product to the forum. :clap:

Yeah I'm stoked....it seams like I keep adding more and more to the list of things they are going to do everyday. I need to stop. lol

:rofl: it's easy to get sucked into it. Keeny said alot of good things about you and has very impressive plans for your ride. :clap:

lol I guess I kind of killed the thread with that little bit of info. I'll be sure to get some pics and video when I get back.

and i hope appropriately you are automatic? :D

but anyway, i hope more people go turbo/auto, because as i have been debating going turbo myself, the biggest argument against it has been NO LSD IS OUT THERE FOR US.

the stage 0 turbo with intercooling gives around 250whp, plus the exhaust i already have will tack on another 8-15, and then emanage tuning will give it another jump of anywhere from 10-20. all that with an open differential? that's crazy.

Yes I have an auto.....that is being beafed up also. They are talking somewhere around 400hp on 91 octane and....lol up there quite a bit more with raceing fuel. The numbers will tell in due time.

well im definitely curious and excited (along with everyone else) to see your completed tc :D thats awesome! you and sciondad are our saviors.

I hope you have some money once I'm done because this is costing me around 10000

well... haha. i wouldn't do all the stuff you're doing, but that is indeed quite the kick to the mouth. i hope it's worth it!

Racingsolution's site says the ZPI Stage 0 will work on an automatic. Dunno if it's true, though.

lol me too

I am waiting for that auto upgrade also. The weakest part in my setup
