agreed

but ultimately its useless to turbo an auto. its such a limitation. 318 even went manual after he beat the crap out of it

 

lol perhaps

 

I'm glad you took that as a joke. It's like walking on nails here.

 

That was a joke?
you haven't met the guy!
That's why I'm having Todd do my kit instead of these Vegas fools!!!

jk!

 

 

it is not useless to turbo an auto, your information is incorrect.

it will require more money yes, but not useless. it all depends on what your going for. most of the folks here, even myself slap a turbo on a call it a day. if your end goal is to build a car for racing, auto is not such a bad idea. the fact that manual has been proven to be faster is not necessarily true. and i was not comparing an auto tc to a auto supra, it was a "for instance". both of those supras were in the 900whp range, they werent running stock trannies. the simple fact of the matter was with a built transmission same upgrade automatic, you can beat a manual. you can fight science, and considering computers react in nano seconds and the human brain reacts in micro second thats a huge time difference. stomp the gas and go. please dont mislead the guy.

as for the guy asking the question
if your plan is to throw a turbo on your auto and leave it, then its a waste and i agree with that. if your plan is to get a starting ground for which you will eventually build your car and transmission, your good to go man. if you want a little more pep, go zpi stage 0. might take a little while to get it, but over all its a quality kit. to get your moneys worth though go dezod stage 1 and or zpi stage 1. im not familiar with the dezod kit but i have heard good things about it and both kits produce roughly the same amount of hp. personally i would stay away from the stage 0. you really should intercool and have a bov and management. its safer.

 

Go with ZPI so everyone can call you a nuthugger

 

yes sir!! whocare is a zpi nuthugger lol
guess we all are since we have their products..

where is dyltone when you need a homo perspective!

 

He's probably working considering hes going in debt to try and pay for all the stuff hes buying on the tc

 

welll...... i run a ZPI kit and ive sold ZPI kits through my work here in VA and its been a lil bit of a pain (just the cust. service) but in all honesty the moment you can get a hold of kenny on the phone (or even better in person) he really goes above and beyond for you. 318tc said it best. he runs dezod but suggests you call BOTH zpi and dezod. i run ZPI and suggest you call both companies as well

 

haha, i know what you mean. everyone takes the slightest comment a goes beserk.
why cant we laugh at each other, lol?

and thats just mean phil. i want that manifold gasket back
is that how zpi customers really feel? im being serious

 

...um...I don't have any ZPI products.

yeah....about that....I need a tube of that oil pan sealant as well!!! HOOK A BROTHA UP!

See you tomorrow night. I'll be there bout 9:30. You better be there this time!

 

your a zpi nuthugger at heart lol. man everyone gets defensive lol.

 

You know it!!!

 

it's not useless to turbo anything. the point of a turbo is to give somthing more power ya? well autos get power too from turbos. so there it's not useless. and yes an automatic RACE tranny will beat a manual tranny any day because they don't lose power through the valve body. but a tC's valve body can't handle crazy numbers. atleast not without some major overhauling.

 

 

That would just mean that you are guilty by association.

 

No, that's just what the haters say, because we have had good experiences and stand by the products "proven" potential.

 

zpi is gonna give you a big headache i say go with dezod and i have a zpi kit on my car wished i never went with them
