Q?:trans max speed?

[green-lantern]

and as for the transfer case im willing to take a chance or maybe Ill come up with something to make it better

I think somebody was working on a fix for it just for a top speed run. It was a long time ago but I want to say it might have been some kind of remote fluid thing. IDK

I just wanted to bring that up though. Having a TC lock up at 160+ would suck bad.

There are several final drive ratios for the F4A33/W4A33, I do not know which one the JDM AWD Auto uses, but it would be my assumption that it is the same 3.958 used in the USDM FWD. the OD ratio is 0.685, So that would give you a total ratio of about 2.71:1 (assuming the converter is locked up...)

Agreed.

This made me laugh for some reason lol

I thought you could add a tube in place of the vent and have a makeshift overflow tank in the engine bay. Granted will not help you if you have flung too much of your T-case fluid up into your over flow.

Nothing "locks-up" at 160mph... It will make lots of small jigsaw puzzle pieces though.... I'm sure the noise would make you pucker. The oil on your tires might prove to be inconvenient...

It was Erron Spalsbury that built the reservoir on his vent.... Ran a hose up the firewall and used a clutch fluid reservoir.

I cut off the factory vent and used the base of it for a grommet, bent up a piece of steel brake line to route around the axle, and connected that to a rubber hose running up the firewall for the vent. I don't often run it over 100 MPH, mostly the occasional pull to redline in third while tuning, but I haven't pushed any fluid since I extended the vent.

Edit: I knew I had a pic somewhere....

I will so be doing something similar, did you add any additional fluid? I have had my car up to 120-125 at the NG the last two years with just a stock T-case.

[Permanent grin]

I recorded 167 mph in the standing km without 3rd gear and selecting 6th instead of 4th, dropping to 0 psi of boost because I had to go 2nd to 4th and having to wait from 4k to 5.4k rpm to get full boost back.........No TC fluid issues from a stock 6 speed TC. I would have been running maybe 130 in the 1/4 on that run.

Over about 200 laps of hitting 120-130 every straight my TC has not lost a drop of fluid. Must take a lot more to froth up and exit the breather.

That's pretty sweet



I didn't loose any on the road course ether

The Redline Heavy Shockproof was the only fluid I ever pushed out of mine.
