#12622, "RE: auto trannys and turbos?" In response to In response to 4
I am automatic, and will be buying an HRC Stage1 in a few months. I have quite a few questions, so bear with me.
1) With auto, what would the best way to launch be and would it be more controlled than manual since Im not throwing so much power to the wheels? (Please dont mention torque or stall speed converter that isnt gonna happen)
2) On a manual, boost is built up. Then the driver releases accelerator and shifts, then pushes accelerator again. The throttle plate closes. On an auto, since the accelerator is never lifted, would my throttle plate close? If not this would mean I'd be able to hold boost right? Would a BOV function in this scenario since no air would be sent back?
3) Is there anything else I'd need that a manual would not? Transmission cooler?
4) With auto stage1, what kind of times should I expect on an HRC Super16G?
5) Your opinion, is this worth it? I can't sell my car and I looove the feeling of boost and speed. Its the ultimate rush.
Please don't flame me if you think the questions are dumb.
