How often have you heard of one of them starting to slip or have other issues. i actually have 8 of these transmissions here at the shop ill look into having the revalved.

^ this may be one of the most epic posts here (at least for AT owners). 350?! How much tq would that be pushing?

yeah.... im excited. i hope that even if you dont mass(somewhat) produce it, that it would still be available to buy. would that price include bov and wastegate? actually a better question would be, what would be included?

Kit would include the folowing:

Wastegate Turbosmart 45mm
BOV Turbo Smart 50mm Race Port
Intercooler Piping Aluminum
Turbo Manifold Sidewinder
3" Downpipe
Vertical Flow Intercooler Tested to 800whp already
Couplers Clamps & Oil Lines
Precision Turbocharger SC50-SC61

Im pretty sure ill make them available for sale after i have completed my project and the admins get back to me on being a sponsor. Ive been sending them emails for almost 2 months now without an answer.

Oddly enough, Billy from Tires23 told me the same thing.

I have been thinking lately about relocating the battery into the trunk. Why? To eliminate that understeer due to the mass of the front end. I would buy a battery tray which would replace the spare tire.

Just get a smaller battery

tekneek · 07-03-2009, 05:27 PM

would a battery make that much of a difference?

lcrazyaznl · 07-03-2009, 06:14 PM

Its a good 25 lbs in front of your car some even have a 45 lb battery when going to optima.

Great job on the turbo can't wait for more updates !

I already paid a good sum of money for my Optima YT, and I like it.

TSX is way too heavy for its engine. I really want sport seats, carbon fiber hood, partial stripping (spare tire, few instruments), light wheels now. Alongside single outlet cat-back.
