Force induction on auto trans? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Would I be able to but a turbo on an auto trans or would the engine not be able to handle it. Sorry for noob question, I'm new to this stuff aha. Thanks.

I believe AT version of this car rated up to 400hp. And there are Turbocharger and SC that work on the AT. Check out FullBlown TurboCharger and Vortech Supercharger kit.

P&L Motorsports developed their kit on the AT

For now, nobody knows how long but i would recommend changing the fluid more often than you would on a stock car.

Maintenance will be the key for these vehicles.

I just ordered my SC and vortec said it will work on AT trans with a custom tuned. Is it possible to have a launch control on a AT? Just like what the GTR have. Thanks!

I believe (from what I've read from tuners) its not possible.

Well, my uneducated guess is that there is no way to electronically engage or disengage the torque converter on our transmissions.

The GTR is different in that its a dual clutch Auto trans, meaning it has all components that a manual transmission has, but with automatic actuation.
