Grettings every one. I`ve been researching quite a bit on how to beef up my transmission before any turboing is done. What I found and been adviced is to get into a real solution. I emailed TurboEast for some recomendations and this is what they answer me:
"We have done our ESK on a couple of Scions. However, I do not have
any kind of installation manual or guide for the TC. Rather than
an ESK,I reccomend taking it to a trusted Scion tuner. The more
in-depth tuners should have a valve-body upgrade for your
transmission, which will allow you to shift much faster. This will
allow you to hang on to more power. Let me know if you have any
further questions.
Thanks,
Sam Windsor

According to other sources auto transmissions can be made very srtong through this process; take a look at this website and see what I mean:http://www.gadgetonline.com/Transmission.htm
It appears that Level10 could be a pro supplier to the auto comunity, though I haven't contact them yet. If any could add some more info on this subject I'd appreciate it. I'll email these guys and tell you what else I find out.

 

kenny worked with them.. key word worked...

 

Just emailed them with my interest!

 

Here is their response:

Dear Car Enthusiast

We have finished testing on the torque converter and valve body upgrade. We do require your housings (stock valve body and torque converter) and we can upgrade within 3 days. The results are better take off and firmer faster shifts. Can then handle an additional 80-110 hp.

Pts hydrosystem upgrade (valve body recalibration) $798.

Pts torque converter upgrade $598.

Thank you,

Sam


Sounds good to me! I might consider working with them.

 

there is a place in new jersey called IPT they are very good with toyota trannies . might want to look them up.

 

Well to suppliment the build up stuff when it comes through, we will have a VERY nice tranny controller.

 

ZPI has lotta of those upgrades ready. They are just finihsing up testing and arent avaliable tot he public, i know for a fact the valve body upgrade is ready by them. the torque converter is pretty strong from what ive been told, and the esk was dropped in place of the emanage ultimate. seeing as how the ultimate can tune and change gearing for autos.

 

yeah ill let you knwo how it comes out.. kenny is tuning my car with the ultimate

 

agreed, i hear a lot of good things from them

 

Im ready for whoever has the best product!

 

Keeping an eye on this one. Very interested.

 

yeah me too keeping I'm definitely watching this thread! keep us updated!

Since I have sure plans for FI this is going to be done first. Im going to contact them at the end of July to see what they can do for me. I'll keep ya'll updated on my progress. And hey Stephen did you ever get that Stage 1 kit put on? I used to be in NOVA SE but I moved...
