Be interesting to see the power output sounds like good fun v6 motors here are that cheap replacing one would cost less then a service .
I would love to do v6 turboed conversion in a gemini coupe or one of those 2 door vc commodore imports i think they were vauxhals but 2 many other projects to finish first.

been slack on the updates shes boosting hard trans doesnt like me wont change out of 2nd after a few boosts in 2nd gear like theres a sticking trans valve so better be nice to it till i get home turned the fluid dark colour in 3 days of tuning LOL holding up well for fully stock trans though.allready want to raise the boost but thought better of it till it has some more mods :mrgreen: 7psi is OK but as allways want more 3-5psi is unnoticable really 7 puts you in the seat 12-14 would be way more fun me thinks :driving:

do you have any oil cooler on the tranny other than the radiator one ?

i'd recommend a nice big one if you don't ... i would say your probably overheating the tranny :driving:

nah no external cooler :shh: more the fact it cant hold the clutches tight enough lots of slip ide say .ive been tuning in 3rd pushing it hard and the 3/4 clutch packs arnt that great probably is getting damn hot though was considering dropping the pan fitting new filter and fluid and fitting the trans temp gauge at the same time while the pan is off and i can drill it.really want to fit the oil temp gauge for the engine too while im at it just cant really afford the brass T-peices to make it happen going to run it in a t-peice under the outlet for the turbo oil feed so it gets flow past it cause i aint drilling the sump with it on

you need a wider band, corvette servo and an extra clutch in 3rd gear. that extra clutch plate in 3rd really does wonders, makes it shift to 3rd real quick :D

well i thought i had killed it LOL but it lives again.had a funny surge at 100kmh in 4th and at 50 in 3rd and would jerk back and foward violently and go lean as all hell we were driving down the road in town and it sounded just like a perifial ported rotary was funny as hell .could get on the gas it was okish thought i might have killed the intank pump due to being able to drive when real empty with the surge but it turns out the tune on the NVRAM had been corrupted somehow the VE tables in the cruise area were at 00 and it was jumping in and out of the corrupt cells making it surge might have been VE learn and an old narrowband sensor or something done it too. sure glad i saved the last good tune as i was tuning it will slap that back in and we be laughing again least it wasnt terminal feewww
