One of the main problems of my transmission was that the torque converter was shot... does that mean once its fixed will I have more power? Just wondering.

 

im sure you will notice the difference.

 

ALRIGHT! 5-10 horses for 2,300!!! What a deal! [sm=headbang.gif]

 

holy crap remmy u coulda dropped a few more hundred and gotten a 5 speed conversion lol

 

lol, you're paying enough to get a turbo, but the hp gains are rather disapointing.

 

ummmm.....WHY? junk the tranny, sell the engine/ecu and get a swap...

 

I would love to, but I dont have the time and recsources to do it. I dont know any shops around here and dont know what to look for :' ( . Nor do I have a buddy that knows all of this stuff. I need to move in with sacicons or somebody, then I wouldnt ahve a problem anymore lol.

 

You won't actually get any more power by replacing the TC, but it will transfer your existing power to the ground more efficiently, so it will feel stronger.

 

hehe, i have an extra room. but rent is a bitch here in Sac. and i think itd be kinda expensive to tow your car to Cali. but even at a shop, you could probably get a sohc vtec (not vtec-e) swapped in for way less than 2300. labor and all. thats more than 4-5 hp to the ground. its closer to 10.[&:]

 

remmy, my buddy lives in west ashley, i will talk to him and see what he says about taking your ride somewhere. he is plugged in to just about everything that is anything in sc. as soon as i know, i will let you know what he says probably next week.
