have you even started building the piping setup? loooots of talk and all ive seen is pics of an intercooler, and a piping kit?

People have ran the ATX with a 3L which has increased torque. They put in upgraded stuff that was supposed to handle the torque. However it seems the upgraded stuff was what 'Failed', not the trans itself.
I would think that you could easily handle moderate boost with an ATX as long as the turbo kit will work.
In your case, 6psi non-intercooled with water injection may be more than sufficient to put you to a good 200-220 wHP on an ATX.
We would have to actually test it out of course by building a compatible setup. Then your trans must be in decent shape. I'm willing to work with it though if we can get an ATX car over by Burritas house, or by mine. Keep in mind that I will be moving soon so I cannot do any more fabrication work here until I get moved.
I'm being stationed back in Texas so I'll be north of Austin.
:crazy: If you're going to be in Austin that works incredibly! I will spend the next few days thinking hard about whether I really want to keep the ATX and add a turbo, or if I will just switch to manual. If I keep it, I'll bring it to Austin and bus it back home over a weekend.
You say some of the methods of keeping the transmission alive failed? Do you mean like "better" parts they put in the internals, or like coolers and stuff?
Is there any landmark where an ATX is sure to fail? How far has it been taken?
Is it just under racing loads, or daily driving that they tear up?
I've heard that in almost all cases they overheat and melt stuff (clutch slippage from not having enough psi from the pump or wimpy clutches). Is this correct?
If anyone can chime in here it'd be great.
Also, why would a non-inter cooled setup be best (for ATX)?
Finnally, since you're so close to me I'd like to offer to help you with building these turbo kits. I have no experience with them, but I can read diagrams, I'm good at geometry, and I learn quickly. Best of all, I'd work for almost nothing hourly or on a per-piece basis. I'm looking for the experience.
You need to stfu, and gtfo. You talk way too much ****, and frankly I dont think anyone wants you to be here!
Joey is doing this to help all of us out, and has a ****load more experience with contours than you can even fathom, hell hes probably got 20k+ into just his motor. When he can work on this when hes not at his real job. Given the nature of his job, hes off every few weeks, and on call every few weeks.
Why dont you go fix your TK supercharger instead of ****ting on this thread.
I apologize to everyone else if that was a little harsh, but honestly people bashing fabricators over time when they have no idea on the process irritates me.
Alright, back on topic.
gime a break you loser. i'm not the one hyping up hundreds of people on something that is so far away from being complete, its ridiculous.
gime a break you loser. i'm not the one hyping up hundreds of people on something that is so far away from being complete, its ridiculous. blackcoog has a working setup on his car right now! who was talking smack about that again? you guys make me sick. jump on my ass because i ask a question, THAT WASNT EVEN MEANT FOR YOU. you guys are hilarious.
If production literally began like a week ago and you know production is far from being complete, then why are you basically calling them "all talk" when everyone knows they arent going to have much to show for it right now? :shrug:
Tricker, you sound like a little bratt. Just leave ceg!!!
Tricker said:maybe i'll just quit posting here. you people are so bigheaded on this forum it makes me want to vomit.
im 22 years old thanks. and like i said, you just brought me back into this by putting a picture of me up.
