just wondering i guess since most people rag on the atx.

what's it like when you drive the car?

im especially interested in doug's car...

i am thinking of actually sticking it with the a604 tranny than go for a mt swap.

Just imagine starting out slower than a stock neon, hitting full boost, reeling in and passing whatever sucker lined up against you, and powering all the way to 120mph, when you finally hit redline... for the first time. At which point the above mentioned sucker is trying to find 4th.

It's cool as long as you're not doing 1/8 mile drag racing.

Turbo with the auto is awesome... especially if you mod it a little. Some trannies act a little funny when you boost it, but when it's working it's great. I honestly have a traction issue with the atx, anytime I'm past 1/2 throttle in first the wheels spin. My tires suck though. Anyways, it's great.

blah, i hate it. I miss rowing thru the gears too much. emoji


When full boost comes on i spin all of 1st and well into 2nd. Once i get traction, it pulls until i let off -- just push the gas and hold on. (18-20psi on the s16g FWIW)


I dont hate it that much...i just hate the a604, and im bitter again cause i only have 1st and 2nd currently (and when you spin till 50 there isnt a lot of fun time when 2nds at redline at ~70). I think its just a bad solenoid pack, will know for sure in a couple days.

ATX->MTX Swap
Holset HX40 @ 26 psi
