I will do, I don't know if any of you read toomnymods thread about his turbo build, but it looks liek it is possible that he got screwed by IPT. But he did post what needs to be bought to build up the tranny and it look slike about $1500-$1800 for a good beefed up tranny installed (buying the parts seperately), I think I will do that next year
this is gweasel77... :)
Yeah, i was just reading that! That's meesed up!!! I can't believe they screwed him like that!!
I'm doing exhaust work this month. I'm about to start ordering my 2.25" piping & a FM 2.25"-3" Y. I'd like to do the TransGo Kit & PML pan in a couple months.
Anyone wana give me a brief detailed thing of what happen with him over the IPT trans issue??
Well his tranny went out. He had the wrong Calc load values for a couple months, but tuning it on the dyno finally killed it. He bought an Overhaul kit. He went to Aamco transmission and the guy took apart his supposed IPT built tranny. The Input clutches apparently looked totally stock and made out of OEM material. They were smoked very badly, and the guy said that part was def OEM quality clutches, not high performance. Also their is no way to know whether his othe rparts got Cryo-treated or not. Oh yeah, and his torque converter, the guy looked inside of it and said he knows what they did and its really easy and could have done it for $300 instead of the IPT almost $800.
^^ that sucks.. i would be furious, and heart broken at the same time
Sounds like IPT Trans is not going to have a good name after all.
Yeah I think I am going to just buy a performance overhaul kit myself and have a shop install it. Update on the Nitrous and shift kit. I talked to Marty at KRC Performance, and I can drop my truck off on Friday of next week, he is also going to put it on the dyno, to get my fuel correct (11.5-11.8) for the Nitrous. It will be cool to see how much power I have while spraying, I hope he does 1 or 2 NA pulls too. He will also be swapping me to the 1 step colder NGK Iridium plugs I have. I can't wait, but I work Friday, so I don't know how I'm going to get my truck there. Might have to have a friend drive it there while I'm working, and its about 45 min to 1 hour away LOL
^Nice update!
Congrats ofive. Hope everything comes out great.
