What does Garage is empty, Add now mean?

Hey everyone. My car is a 13 auto tc. I am going to be building the motor to hold more than 350hp (turbo obviously) any advice on what or where to find a transmission for the car designed to hold a lot of power. Tia

It has been a while since I've checked, but there weren't any companies that have developed transmission parts for our cars other than maybe OS Giken (LSD) when I was actively modding my build (2011 to 2015ish).

My transmission held up at 360 whp (original stock numbers 168 whp) during the first build, and 415 whp during a later build. As long you don't plan to exceed that, you should be fine. However, if you are serious about making your build a track-only setup, I'd probably find a junkyard transmission, and get something custom done by a race transmission shop.

It won't be cheap, at all.

Thanks for the advice. I guess I'm stuck at or below 400hp till I get something else. Sucks cause I love my 2ar. Thinking about an 08 manual.

No worries. In no way am I trying to discourage your build. It's great to have goals. Just try to be as realistic as you can with those goals.

Like you, I really like the tC2 which is why I haven't sold it. I just don't want people to end up like me. I put enough into my car to buy two brand new tC2's (it isn't something I'm proud of, by the way). Some of the best ways to mitigate the cost are to know/learn how to do the labor side by yourself and be realistic with expected gains.
