Poll - 5EAT Problems

[fishbone]

Awesome! Good to know the VB is goodness. The Jesus tune helped as well, I'm sure.

[Habitual Line Stepper]

up to 99K now. tranny has over 81K on it, almost all stage 2 + (maybe 100 miles stock power levels).

 

VB only.

Your my inspiration!

[squishyface]

55k on the trans/car

20K stage II (Trans cooler at about 10K into stg II)

10KStage III (IPT VB installed at stg III)

No slipping what so ever squishy? Your powerlevels are right around what i want to achieve in the near future.

[squishyface]

no slip HLS. At least not that I can tell. How do you know what my power levels are?

I stalk you as much as possible, i your car. But on a serious note you posted them somewhere. I think you got almost 300 at the wheels, and without our automagics you prolly be at 300+. Since we have the same tranny setup, i'm watching you with great anticipation.

[squishyface]

only 2 people know what my car is putting out. My stage II stuff was the only stuff I posted. Lets not start rumors now.;) I appreciate your enthusiasm about my wagon. I am getting more fond of it daily.

Why do you not share what power your car puts out?

 

[squishyface]

You know I have only posted my numbers once and it was at stage II. Then the "who's is bigger" crap started and it just went on and on. Then I just decided to put my worries to rest and go big. The only way anyone really knows is when they take a ride. Then reality sets in. I'm a modest person, I don't need to be stroked. I'll post my #'s when I sell the car.

Thread revival. Finally voted:

Stage 2 stock 5EAT, all OK.

The stock 5EAT held up to Stage 2 fine for almost a year and 10K miles:

Autospeed catless UP, stock turboback exhaust with gutted shorty DP, Perrin TMIC, crank pulley. Only mods on the tranny for these miles was a cooler and a RalliteK stiff mount.

I should note I ran a PDX e-tune map for almost the entire time which put out more power than Cobb's OTS STG2 (18.4PSI peak). Never liked how the tranny shifted near or at redline, it allowed for too much slip due to mushy shift points.

Now at close to 66K miles, just this past Friday, got the IPT VB in so I guess I'm "out of the run" since I'm no longer on a stock 5EAT.

Just sharing my experience

[blkbxlgt]

Well since this thread is alive again

It's been a long road for my 05 but

DB 18G 19.2psi

AVO FM

Cobb STI STG2 cams, anyone know if they still sale engine parts anymore, All the usefull engine stuff no longer show on their website.

SPT Exhaust version 2

Cobb DP

Tunned using the original Cobb street tuner program. IMO still the best one out there. Got to love that live tuning

Rallitek street tranny mount

117k miles and still ticking, no slip, but then again never powerbreak it either... never had to

[VTGT]

^what kind of power r u putting down? peak boost at what rpm?

 

nice testament of the 5eat still havent launched either

[mele63]

2005 Legacy GT Sedan - 5EAT

 

Modification: Borla catback, AP 93 octane with TDC e-tune, PDE up-pipe, Flow downpipe, AVO panel filter

 

Driving Habbits: There's an egg under my gas pedal!! Never been brake-launched (I may have 6K lying around, but there are better ways to spend it).

 

Transmission Status : Okay!

 

Current Millege: 31,000 miles

 

UPDATE

 

Current Mileage 45,000 (approx. 35,000 @ STG II)

 

5EAT: no problems

[Yebbey]

ok, I'm afraid to post up here for a few reasons, but here goes. I've been stage 2 for about 53,000 of 63,000 miles. I bought a tranny cooler in 2007 sometime, but never got around to installing it. I don't track or race or autocross. I'd say I drive somewhat conservative most of the time on the streets, a lot more active on the freeway. 5EAT seems ok, but I am going to install the tranny cooler soon. I also want to do the valve body. I'm just waiting for a sale....or raise.

[youknowit]

Does anyone have a delay in the shifts at WOT? Like when it/I shift it at wot it will go past the "rev-limitor" indicator on the tach. Does anyone else have this problem? Or is this just normal 5EAT shifting

[fishbone]

Stage 1? I can't remember if it did it at Stage 1 but Stage 2, definitely.

[jim1969]

can I change my vote?

[youknowit]

Ok, I just watched some videos on youtube with an 09lgt and it shifted mine. I guess im just going to have to take it to a dealership and have them look at it.

[idendor]

05 w 75k miles; SPT intake, SPT Exhaust, & pro tune at 33k miles. Went to Syn Tran Fluid at 55k, never launched. Gets avg 21 mpg in suburban & rural commute (shows 22 on dash), no slip, and fun to drive. If i burn a tank at 65-70 MPH, get 25 mpg.

 

My 90' 4EAT died at 126k, replaced with Factory new, died again at 230k

[Scotty]

05 LGT wagon, stage 1 since around 45K. Tranny pulled a P1844 code at 137K. Code is either due to bad wiring harness (not likely) or debris in the tranny. Still worked fined, but ended up replacing the tranny anyways.

[EyeFlyIsTheEye]

2005 LGT Sedan

Stock 49,000 miles

No problems

[RIPjeep2002]

2009 5EAT LGT

IPT valve body

Rallitek stg1

16k

No issues

 

Stg2 come spring time! I love all these results!

[red98lude]

I feel that posting here is actually going to jinx me but here goes. Protuned stage 2 and actually shifting smoother than it was with the Cobb OTS stage 1. Redline shifts were always fast but when dropping of the gas the shifts would stumble when running stage 1.

[ex-ma hole]

05 OBXt....engine is stock, 60,000 miles....drive like an old lady 90% of the time (trying to keep gas mileage up and speeding tickets down)....other time I drive hard....no problems at all...

 

 

Currently at 102,000 and change....still nary a problem....

[Seth1784]
