BLOWN GEARBOXES

[turb06]

my auto is as noisey as excited chicks at a tupperware party when its cold, and nice and quite when its warmed up. Is this what everyone else is experiencing.

Look - the noise is normal, try driving a truck!

I think tyre noise, wind noise and the noise of you pants ruffeling in the seat would be more annoying - it sounds tough, like a V8 supercar. Just pretent its something really expensive and sophisticated making the noise, makes it enjoyable to hear it!

I love all the noises and whines and clunks my Turbo makes, reminds me I am driving a PERFORMANCE CAR and not playing a video game or driving a camery.

Geezzz... :tosser:

trust me its not normal after having 325rwkws the gears wear which makes them wine heaps more than normal

I have a good mate that is a regular racer at willowbank with an au 200kw xr8, unichip and vortech blower which recently ran 390rwhp. It is running a T5 and although he says it is becoming a touch noisy the box is operating fine. He just drives/races the car smartly. It ran a 12.75@111mph on Wensday nights t/t. The car would have to be 3+yrs old with around 100,000klms, I'm not sure what year the 200kw xr8's were built. Treat them well and they will hang together.

Ok, now what exactly did they do to your box? Since it obviously wasnt anything helpful.

its only really a shift kit mod its suppost to help preserve the bands(stop them flaring between shifts).so as far as shifting is concern it does that really well as my 1/4 mile times show but the facts are that these boxes are out of date and cannot handle the extra hp without extentive modification and $$$$$$$.
