Opinions please!

Looking into more power

Gixxersixxerman · 07-12-2013, 07:59 PM

I'm assuming the ones that are mentioned in the search feature

I kid I kid... The same ones that work on a manual work on the auto.. Full blown did their testing with a auto.. Everyone has an opinion on what's the best.. It depends on, if your showing how big your junk is and wanting all out numbers, or your looking for the best daily drivability.. I talked to crawford once at the track and he claims, 250 is perfect DD power for this car.. That 300 is starting the overkill, and anything bigger is bragging.. That his 400hp, 500ftlb BRZ will smoke the tires in 6th gear when he wants..

I don't think the OP could go wrong with FA20club, full blown, or AVO.. Quality kits.. After talking and looking I to the companies, I really like AVO, but that's because it's closer to my goals then the others.. And the innovated supercharger.. I'm just waiting for all the testers to get done testing after a couple years

Car is currently under 8 PSI, doing 260WHP / 233#S TQ!

I myself plan to get an AT once the convertible comes out. Definately putting the AVO kit on that one too!

All turbo kits will work with an automatic. It just needs a different tune than the manual. There is no real answer to "best turbo" for an AT.

I think he is looking for general advice, like does the torque converter allow you to run a bigger turbo, that kind of thing.
In the old days turbos on autos at the drag strip could be larger because you could step on the brakes and gas and the thing would start building up exhaust pressure prior to launching. Worked great with a higher than stock stall speed converter. With all the nannies these days though, it might not work quite the same way. Of course, a higher stall speed converter doesn't do much for daily driving.

I want the turbo on my AT and I am impressed with FA20club from the posts here and my friend Tony telling me about his experience last week while they installed his header and tuned his SC car.

So another +1 for FA20club.
