007specb Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 Hey all. I was at tires plus the other day and they basically told me they won't change transmission oil on my 6mt because the don't know if it had ever been done before and if it hasn't then there is a good chance the transmission would have to be replaced. This obviously seems false, but has me nervous about changing my fluid.
whitetiger Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 they think your trans is an automatic. just get it changed and be done with it. hell, do it yourself, its very easy. you have nothing to worry about. your trans is fine.
007specb Posted April 6, 2015 Author Posted April 6, 2015 You know I figured it was bull but I figured I would ask the experts on here. Thanks

007specb Posted April 6, 2015 Author Posted April 6, 2015 I will definetely consult the LGT people before making an big decisions. Well I live in Omaha, Nebraska. I just picked up an 07specb the end of march. I have in the mail turbo back exhaust, some sway bars, steering rack brace, strut tower brace, some drilled brakes and various urethane bushings. I am using AP v3 and I am in communication with a tuner from Des Moines Iowa. We will be slowly working towards converting to e85, going to slap on a 30r blouch turbo. Ultimately will be building this into a 500whp car.
Max Capacity Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 500whp. I hope you have deep pockets? Is this going to be a DD ? Please give us some back ground so we know you have an idea of what it takes. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD).

whitetiger Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 500whp.. http://i3.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/353/279/e31.jpg
007specb Posted April 7, 2015 Author Posted April 7, 2015 Well first off will be converting to e85 1300cc injectors 450lph walbro fuel pump Then I'll be upgrading my tmic and getting a 3 port boost control solenoid along with a blouch dominator 3.5xtr and go fast bits respons BOV. Along the way I'll be getting tein coil overs to put the power to the ground. Along with a 6 puck act clutch. There will obviously be other biys and pieces needed but I already have an ej257 Block that I will building alongside these mods
DeltaNu1142 Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Oh, a BOV... Well, why didn't you say so? 500WHP easy. Why not shoot for 600? Tires Plus doesn't know what they're talking about. I asked them to install my FMIC and they wouldn't do that, either. Tits mcgee

MrTris Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Can't wait to see how this turns out! Shoot the moon, dude!
starionesir Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Your going to need alot more then your list of mail items to hit 500whp. Good luck with your quest though.
magnusonsubie Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 If I do what he does can I too have 500 awhp? 2005 Vader Wagon Material Tests on Ringland Failure Piston I should have held off and purchased a wagon instead of the spec.B
whitetiger Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 luckily you can have 500whp on a upgraded TMIC. So have at it.

Max Capacity Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Tell us what rods and pistons your planning on using and what axles ? But I guess on street tires, you wouldn't need axles. Do plan to take the car down the 1/4 mile ? BTW, these cars perform pretty well with around 300whp. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs.

FJuan Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Building a 500whp motor, can't change the trans fluid. My wife's balls are delicious.
DeltaNu1142 Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Come on, F1. It's not that he CAN'T, it's more likely that he just doesn't have the time. Which is why you go to the one shop renowned for its transmission expertise: Tires Plus. Tits mcgee
whitetiger Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 ^they are going to do his engine build and tuning too....
DeltaNu1142 Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Tires Plus tuned my buddy's C6 Corvette to 208WHP. It stutters a little at idle, and above 1200 RPM, but otherwise it's a beast. Tits mcgee
AMileHighLGT Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 You guys have managed to run him off in 31 hours, with 4 posts? LMFAO
starionesir Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Never figured out why 500hp is always the goal. No matter what the car is you always hear I'm shooting for 500hp. Guess it sounds good.
